I am on a media temple acct with a friend. I am going to get my own acct. but before I do I just wanted to make sure that there are not other (better) options.
I like how media temple has build in functions like WP and is easy to maintain, however I understand that some people have complaints and don't like it very much.
Any thoughts?

Well Media Temple is more pricey then the others. This past week they had an issue with their gird servers going down. That issue has been dealt with and "shouldn't happen again". Our company has had a lot of issues with the grid server's stability, though others haven't.

These may be more developer oriented than you're used to.....
MediaTemple's DV accounts have been good, I've had issues with the grid accounts....
There are lots of others, shared hosting like www.wingsix.com

MT did have a Grid issue this week, but if you're opening a new account you ‘should’ be on Gen2. Saying that my Gen1 account wasn’t affected at all by the outage.
Talking from my own personal experience: moving to MT was the best thing I’ve done. I had no end of troubles with other hosts. MT customer service has always been awesome afaik too.
As you’ve noted though, other people have a polar view of MT’s Grid accounts.
- Also following MT on Twitter helps to keep track of any issues etc.YAYPaul
