The more I dig into the services offered by my shared MediaTemple box, the more I’m happy to pay the 20$ a month.

For example, I’ve been looking for a free place for me to store my projects using svn for a while now. I had found Unfuddle, which seemed like a decent service for the kind of work I needed to version. However, I needed to be able to create more than one projects.

Then I remembered MediaTemple gave access to both ssh connections and svn commands, even on a shared box. I set up two different projects in about an hour with great ease because I had some experience with the basic commands and from the documentation MediaTemple provides on their website.

FTW.

I intend to describe how great Media Temple’s service is, how it’s the best shared-hosting package I have experienced yet, and how happy I am with the transfer in another post. Right now, I mainly want to warn you all that lost content will be popping back as I regain access to more recent backups from the old server.

These delayed recoveries will have an impact on both this blog and The Music Tank.
