Media Temple is solid for the most part and they basically have become the "go to" for designers / agency related work. I do have to add in there though that they have MASSIVE issues with Email. I lose email and regain email frequently (sometimes up to 3 times a week) and while they have great tech support, they are still lacking in that department.

Wait... how much do they cost???? $20 a month, is that like a base plan?
God help me if that's true. There are many cheaper ways to be cool.
- $20 a month. They don't offer "low medium and high" plans for the general consumer. They offer only advanced packages after the standard. The up-time with Media Temple is great and the transfer speeds are unbeatable so its worth the $20 to me. Oh and you can google a promo code and save yourself 20% :)TheTofuFactory

Customer service is very reliable. Smart bunch of prison inmates answer intelligently about any topic/issue.

I hope someone answers my question. What's the monthly hosting cost?
- mg330
Well, that is absurd. I'll bet that 3/4 of the designers out there running a portfolio site or something similar on mediatemple are not utilizing even a fraction of the services the offer and would be far better suited with something cheaper than $20 a month. That's outrageous.
Have a look at the host I use - webhostingbuzz.com. Reliable, inexpensive, sites are always up. I have nothing but praise for them most of the time.
- And about $45 a year for a basic plan, btw.mg33
- that's hawt! No issues at all with them?!? I'm done with MT and as good as they are I am a cheap motherfucker.VectorMasked

mg33 - $20 a month. Search on google for a promo code and I'm sure you'll find a 20% off.
- that's $240 a year. 20% off of that still is not much in comparison.mg33
- I'm just saying, I'm sure they're great, but seems like money wasted to me.mg33
- yeah I agree. I went with media Temple basically because I like their company image and the support team. A friend of mine works there.... AND HE SHOULD STILL FIX THE DAMN EMAIL!TheTofuFactory

they have good customer support. their dv servers are very reliable and great, the old shared servers were great. the grid is horrendous. it is terribly unreliable and has been a disaster for them i think.

I used to be hosted by them. I'm indifferent...whatever. But I do know there are cheaper options.
- mg330
And another thing, what is Grid Service? What is the key about it being different from other shared hosting platforms, or is it just a fancy label for something that many other hosting providers are doing?
