I just signed up to media temple a little while ago and they kick some serious ass. Amazxing service too I was so suprised to have them call me. Im all the way in ITALY!!

my thoughts on this is that the packages MT offers is tremendous and thus understandably higher price.
with that having been said, my annoyance is some people who get MT even though they are not going to utilize most of what MT offers just simply because of the brandname.
so my bashing goes not to MT but some ignorant people who get MT because of their logo.

Hey.. the concept isnt hard to grasp.. do a serch on the net.. it's isn't a new idea either...
total coast for Apache, Php, and MySQL.. redhat... and a DN server.. free ( if you build).
50 bucks per month for a shared OC3 line inet pipe..
depen. on speed..do the math...
brand loyalty is hard on the pocket book.

Grafaholic - How could you possibly know that people dont utilize the thier packages?
- jeedoubleu0
Plashal - Obviously you take the cost price of any service and it is garanteed to be lower, that's why the call it COST.
People are paying MT to take care of all the hassels. That's thier business. And not just take care of them, take care of them well.
God.

Interesting phenomenon
cult of internet hosting
- SteveJobs0
it should be noted that if you are sponsored through media temple or any other host for that matter, any amount of praise you have for them is null and void.
also, any single testimony regarding the services of any company cannot be regarded as a substantial claim for the credibility of that company.
and to the three ghetto boys from Compton, CAnada, they don't make scales small enough to weigh the insignificance of your comments. so save them.

Well, obviously lots of people who aren't hosted by MT wish they could be.
I agree to some degree that MT is overrated but I don't really care anymore.
And I agree with jeedoubleu about that brand thing.

Plashal,
It seems you signed up for (mt) Media Temple services for the wrong reason. It seems you purchased the service for the "buzz" rather than suiting your specific needs. You mention services including a reseller account and ability to"stock" your own hard drives, neither of which (mt) Media Temple offers. It's VERY important to call sales before you purchase a service, especially if it's a key component to the success of your business.
Best regards, and best of luck!

In theory your statement is valid concerning the comments made by sponsored site owners; however in this matter it is not relevant. A) Most of site owners giving praise here are actual paying customers. B) Site owners whom are sponsored by (mt) have choices too - just like paying customers. Although we pioneered the hosting sponsorship program we are not the only game in town. Understand, sponsored hosting does not equal free hosting. It is a commercial exchange of services. Site owners help us market and we provide the bandwidth and space needed for their Internet operations whatever they may be. Note also that f you were to ever have a conversation with one of our sponsored site owners - you would know that we emphatically ask each owner to speak freely and honestly about (mt) Media Temple's services. This process keeps us on our toes. We must earn our praise with quality of service. The comments you read are not by obligation but rather by choice.
Regards,
Demian Sellfors/CEO

I think MT really caters well to designers. I chose MT b/c of their support for events like May 1st Reboot and those involved.
But one thing that has me reconsidering my options is their support team. I've had several requests handled incorrectly over the course of the year that have really irked me.

mt is simply the best

(MT) is a LOT cheaper then most hosting companies i have ever had before.
and at least they have free 24hour support.
there isn't ONE host here that i have dealt with that offers that.
so haterz,
go outside and look around carefully, maybe there's a life waiting for you out there, somewhere...

ok, so i stand corrected on the matter of sponsored clients. however, i still stand behind the belief that no one should base their purchasing decisions soley on the testimony of a single customer experience.
and for the record, i have no qualms whatsoever with media temple. i don't have any problem with their popularity. much luck and success to them. i wan't trying to single them out either, simply stating the obvious consumer awareness facts.
but thanks for the reply, and for posting my email address?
i'm out.
