WordPress 2.2.1 one click install on Mediatemple.net Grid Services
Blog, Web Hosting, Technology June 25th, 2007 
As WordPress user, I have to say that WordPress is the world best blog software. If you don’t want to host your own blog, you can setup a free account on WordPress.com, or you can host it on your own. I have host my site on ANHosting.com and MediaTemple.net. Just saw the post on MediaTemple.net that you can have one click to install the most current version of WordPress 2.2.1. You don’t have to worry about the newest update. What a great features.
You can read the post here. WordPress 2.2.1 one-click install is live on the Grid.
So why MediaTemple.net GS (Grid Service) hosting? First of all, they have fairly fast server and they response fast. If you happen to have issues with your hosting site, you can just call their 24×7 phone number to reach the tech support. In the past few weeks, I only have few instance of problems.
Personally, I like to host on my own, so I can have total control about my blog and web site. In many of the case, host your own blog with your own domain will make your more profitable.

Use MT at your own risk. I just spent a day battling their FTP to get WP installed on Shared Server, and when it was finally there, I discovered that they were still using MySQL 3. WP needs 4+, which was released in *2003*. Grid Server was supposed to solve this, but google ‘mediatemple joke’ and see what you get…

WOW.. I am sorry to hear that. I did not expect to see problem like this. I guess that I was lucky that the GS my client are on is with MySQL 4.
I guess they just put you on some older GS, which should be easily switch from few click of mouse. Good luck on your hosting. If you every move other services you like, please keep me post. Thanks!
