Two questions:
1. Must I have a domain or can I for now just have an IP for now and add a domain later?2. Is there PHP/MYSQL easy to setup?

PHP/MySQL comes preinstalled and ready to use as soon as your account is setup.
Not sure about the IP question.
Maybe going straight to the source is a good idea?

MediaTemple's customer service is second to none. The CD here at work uses them and he's never had to wait more than 2 rings for a live person. Call them up.

I beg to differ, I called Media Temple last weekend and I waited half an hour for someone to pick up the phone... I wanted to cancel my service and the guy told me I had to fill out the application online, so I looked it up and it turns out I couldn't fill it out directly online, I had to print it out but I have no printer so I had to e-mail it to myself at work and print it and then spend a $1.50 for an American stamp to mail it by snail mail. I was pretty pissed off. I found my personal experience with Media Temple very frustrating.

How do you get free hosting from Media Temple?
- instantok0
win the may 1st reboot
http://www.may1reboot.com/flash.…
or one of the other contests in which they offer hosting as a prize...
or just be awesome and they might give it to you :)

they have some deal where if they think your stuff is tight they'll sponsor your site. i guess the deal is, that the designer/artist will be stoked and will promote MT (like SP did above) and it will result in them getting more business. I guess they figure for every 1 freebie, they can get 2 or more paying accounts?

I've allways had a great support with MT so far. They react quickly even when i asked them to update PHP to the newest version.
i wouldn't say the same with flashlevel hosting ...

You sign a contract.
If u are selected by (mt) they give you a hosting package in exchange for brand placement, on your hightraffic/ popular site.
youknow (the) deal..end contactual language.
