They have a multitude of hosts serving the same content. I guess "Grid Hosting" is the web 2.0 compliant version of "redundant." I haven't worked with them, but their page screames "We stole this from Apple." - which is either a very good thing, or a very bad one.

It is load balanced virtual servers, been done for years they are just playing it up. We starting doing this about two years ago. Nice site, though I like the design allot.

This year's hot trend in web hosting is grid computing, which employs server clusters to bring the advantages of enterprise-level infrastructure to affordable web hosting plans. As with any trend in web hosting, it hasn't taken long for a price war to break out.

On Tuesday Los Angeles hosting firm Media Temple unveiled GridServer, offering industrial-strength specs for just $20 a month. The account comes with 100 gigabytes of disk space, 1 terabyte of monthly data transfer and the ability to host up to 100 domains. Two other prominent grid initiatives launched this year by dedicated hosting companies, ServePath's UtilityServe and Rackspace-backed Mosso, price their grid hosting plans at $99 a month. Media Temple's pricing could also prove disruptive to shared hosting providers with clustered hosting plans, including NetFirms and Cartika Hosting, which offer cheaper monthly pricing ($9.99 and $14.99, respectively) but much lower allowances for disk space and bandwidth.
