Media Temple’s sneak peek at the next generation of shared hosting seems freakin’ sweet.

• Ruby on Rails — I haven’t messed around with this anywhere yet, but it sure sounds sweet.
• PHP 4 & 5 — a choice on per account basis, without safe-mode! First thing I’d make is a PHP socket server that doesn’t time out every 30 seconds.
• MySQL 4.1.11 — seriously I don’t know why it took Media Temple so long to upgrade to this version, but it’ll sure support more scripts.
• More Storage & Bandwidth — Woot!
• New Control Panel — Media Temple has never bothered with a powerful dedicated control panel (such as CPanel, Plesk). This will be awesome.
• Multi-Site Hosting — I’m at my limit of 6 domains right now. This will be great for new sites & clients.

Only question I got is that the current Shared-Server is at version 4.0. If the upgrade is going to 6.0, what about 5.0?
