For throwing up a Wordpress blog and uploading files, it's perfect- you have effectively unlimited space, and the Grid server will scale no problem if you get onto Digg or Reddit. Speed is fine, the admin user interface is excellent, and it just works. Think of it as the iPod of hosting. Now, for music, the iPod's all I need- I don't need FM radio and eight buttons for various functionality I'll virtually never use. Simplicity is a good thing when I need a basic feature set. And, if you're looking for personal web hosting, that makes (gs) perfect. If you want to be able to customize every facet of your server, dive into the internals, and get something complex working, a distributed hosting service really isn't the way to go. But for a blog or file hosting? Highly recommended.
