I have to say if you don't have shares in MT you lost out but I bet all the original design sites like Newstoday I would hope they are compensated for advertising MT. I think that is why so many people want to know how much MT got and what were the means of the sale. I guess we will never know the business structure of MT but if anyone knows please post.

I used media temple for one year, it went down a few times cost too much money never went back.

MediaTemple has sucked for years. It's laughable that people are still hosting there.
I tried their services out in like, 2005-6 when I first got into Rails. Total suckage. Servers were slow, unconfigurable, and support was lame.
I ran fast and never looked back.

That sucks, I hope they don't destroy the Mediatemple brand.
Seems like when this happens companies always say no changes, independently owned, etc...and then six months you get an email that they are changing the name to "GoDaddy Premium Hosting" or something. Look at what happened to Slicehost for instance.
- Media Temple's brand was already destroyed with shitty hosting, down servers and steep pricing!utopian

Yep. Fuck this. I'm moving to digitalocean or Mothership, right now.

I hope this means their pricing will become reasonable.
I'll wait and see, too.

I interviewed with GoDaddy in 2008 — dark times, my friend — and they subjected me to an intelligence test. I had to answer math questions that have no bearing on design ability.
What a joke.

I'll wait until things get noticeably fucked, then bail on Media Temple.
I wonder how long it will take?

I just read the current CEO isn't the elephant killer anymore.
I've been using Linode for quite some years already, they rock. But you need to know how to roll your server with them.
I also use Amazon Web Services. Been hearing good things from Digital Ocean.
All these I mentioned you need to configure the server yourself.
