………. I’ll be out hunting in northern BC, and hopefully you will be able to track my location here..

For more detail go HERE

Well, after a lot of struggling with MediaTemple and their GridServer offering, I’ve decided to terminate my account with MediaTemple and move to a different hosting provider.

I did try to get MediaTemple to give me a better deal on their DV Server, but they just wouldn’t..  From their email:

The cost of $50 for a (dv) server BASE is a great value. You are more than welcome to shop around and check out our competitors that are offering a similar product.

Well I did shop around and found KnownHost. All I can say is WOW. ByeBye MediaTemple!

Not only are their VPS offerings a great deal, but their techsupport is just absolutely amazing. I’ve opened support tickets and had a solution & reply in 3 minutes! (Of course they are not always THAT fast, but I usually receive a reply in less then 15 minutes)

I’m on my own virtual server with full root access, and I have a hosting company with great prices and great support.

What more can I ask for?

While I was hunting around the net looking for more info on the MediaTemple mysql containers, I came across this coupon “surfstation” that gets you 50% off on their (gs) server package…

If you sign up for a year, that’s now only $100 instead of $200 dollars! A good deal… It’s too bad I can’t use it, since I’m a customer already

If you decide to sign up, please use “thehappygeeks.com” as your referral domain, that way I get a bit of free hosting in return.

Or use this link to get there directly : http://mediatemple.net/go/order/?refdom=thehappygeeks.com (don’t forget to put the coupon code (surfstation) in as well)

I’m not sure how long this coupon will last, so hurry..
