What is the difference between the MySQL GridContainer and the MySQL SmartPool v.2 ?The new MySQL container is designed for customers who demand guaranteed performance and absolute reliability for their hosted database systems. Past versions of MySQL, much like MySQL SmartPool v.2 system, work well for a majority of applications but unfortunately remain subject to the unavoidable volatility of shared hosting, sometimes called the "bad neighbor effect." The MySQL Container system solves past problems with a next generation system that runs a single instance of MySQL in a dedicated server which has complete RAM, and CPU isolation from other applications, databases, and customers. This new, industry-first architecture, results in faster performing sites with a narrowed scope of administration for optimizing and troubleshooting database driven applications.

Does the Grid-Service include a free MySQL GridContainer?The Grid-Service doesn't include a free MySQL GridContainer. However the Grid-Service does come with all the MySQL capabilities provided by our recently re-architected MySQL SmartPool v.2 system. For the majority of Grid-Service customers the MySQL SmartPool v.2 system is an adequate solution. Those interested in higher performance, business grade MySQL hosting may purchase a MySQL GridContainer for an additional monthly fee.
