    Has anyone tried Godaddy's Grid Hosting solution? I've started using it and would really like to hear from others that have also started using this service.

    I haven't tried godaddy's grid hosting but the concept sounds good. I have to say that my experience with them years ago was not good at all... I wish you the best of luck with their new system :)

    I've been using them for over three years and they haven't let me down yet. That's why I decided to keep on using them when I upgraded my hosting.

    Unfortunately, the grid hosting is giving me a few problems or at least I think it's from the hosting. I upgraded my WP blog and for some reason it isn't exepting special charecters like "Ç" and "ão".

    I have heard lots of the words about that. Just do the search and you will see that. In any case I have to say that you cann ask them for the trial account and work for it

    Emperor,

    I'm curious to learn more about the special characters issue. Please drop me a pm with the domain name so that I can do some investigation.

    Hi

    I haven't contacted anyone from support because I first wanted to make sure that the problems where from the hosting and not from my side.

    Yesterday, I uploaded all my wordpress files again to see if that would solve the problem. Before I was not able to log in to my blog and that has been resolved.

    As for the special character problem, it still persists. To be honest I don't know what is causing it. One thing that comes to mind is that I upgraded from mysql 4. to 5. with this server upgrade.

    I'm not an expert on the matter but from what I gather your site is hosted on many servers instead of only one. In this way, if you require more resources you don't have to move your site to a new server since the grid hosting system will allocate more resources automatically.

    Theoretically, this will also improve server performance and stability.

    Do all of these servers belong to the same IP address? I am just curious to know how grid hosting impacts SEO.

    I would just like to say that I found the solution to the problem.

    define(’DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
    define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”);


    and changed it to

    define(’DB_CHARSET’, ”);
    define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    Now everything seems to be ok. I guess the hosting didn't have anything to do with it.
