After weeks of research on WHT i am still undecided who to choose for my next webhost.

I have narrowed it down to three:

- MediaLayer - 1gb/20gb/6 domains at $19.95
- LiquidWeb - 1.5gb/100gb/3 dmoains at $19.95
- MediaTemple - 100gb/1TB/100 domains at $20

Which one would you recommend and why ?

Also does MediaTemple grid service offer any advanctages over the other two.

My requirement is that i want my website to run very fast and server to have very good uptime. I am currently on HostGator & using over 10gb of monthly transfer. I am getting oround 5000 hits but hope to increase it around 10,000 with a new wordpress blog. They reason to move from HostGator is that any MySQL/PHP based apps run extremely slow.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
