Why Us?
There’s more to it than just really fast servers. Here’s 10 of the many reasons to choose (mt) as your web hosting provider.

We never close. We never leave, and the lights are never off. We are a true 24/7/365 company. Call us at 3:00am New Year’s Day - we'll be here. It’s part of our Support Promise.

We’re affordable. When you truly consider the facts - when you add up all of the features - we undeniably offer more value than any nearest competitor. Sometimes you have to look beyond the price and consider all things such as quality, uptime, support and then features. There is a cost to “cheap web hosting” - don’t let it burn you.

We answer the phone. Our average hold time for technical support is below 2 minutes.

We hire amazing employees. The talent runs deep within our organization. This means a better hosting experience for you. While working at (mt) Media Temple may be great, interviewing isn’t all that fun. Our on-site (no book, no google) written competency tests take approximately 2 hours to complete (yes, we’ll give you a Red Bull). Simply, we find, hire and train the most talented individuals possible and we work hard to keep them.

Serving since 1998. We’ve been in the web hosting business for over 10 years (in “internet years” that’s something like 30 years!). We're not “fly by night” - we’re not going anywhere. Our longevity and experience matters.

The web needed a new hosting partner. In 2006, shared server technology died. The web changed, and so have the requirements of site owners. Traffic is up and traditional servers are buckling under the pressure. A new solution was needed that could handle overnight load spikes without costly reconfiguration. We had to re-invent web hosting. If you’d like - go ahead and call us HOSTING 2.0.

Top tier data centers. Our data centers provide some of the highest level design and engineering features available in the world; surpassing uptime, security, cooling and power redundancy standards of most other hosting facilities.

World's greatest designers. The world’s hottest, most talented designers have trusted (mt) for years to serve their digital creations. Being the most critical demographic on the Internet, we believe this has strong merit.

Innovation. Over and over (mt) Media Temple has been first to market with new technologies. Notably, we were the first hosting company authorized to host iASP for Linux, Macromedia’s FlashCommunication Server, Zend’s PHP Performance solutions, Six Apart’s MovableType blogging software and now we have just released the world’s most powerful, affordable utility computing hosting platform, The Grid.

We rise to the challenge. Just like all complex systems, hosting services occasionally encounter problems. When something unexpected happens within our network that affects your websites, we immediately rise to the challenge and provide transparent status updates in real-time through our custom-built incident manager. Subscribe to the RSS feed for an incident to stay updated every step of the way until it’s resolved.

Media Temple Uses Cloudmark Plug-In - Messaging security provider Cloudmark (cloudmark.com) announced on Tuesday that web hosting provider Media Temple (mediatemple.net) has successfully deployed the Cloudmark Authority plug-in alongside its existing Apache SpamAssassin (spamassassin.apache.org) implementation to deliver higher message filtering accuracy and performance.


The Cloudmark Authority plug-in enables users to deliver enhanced protection against spam, phishing and viruses. Media Temple rolled out the plug-in to more than 250,000 of its mailboxes, joining many other service providers in deploying the Cloudmark Authority solution, including business-class email hosting provider MailTrust, and Australian Web hosting provider Melbourne IT.                                                                   The Cloudmark Authority plug-in for Apache SpamAssassin enables Media Temple to seamlessly integrate the solution into its current environment in less than one day. As a result, Media Temple's customers is provided with better messaging protection without any material system changes. 

"Almost immediately after deploying the Cloudmark Authority solution, we experienced dramatic improvements in accuracy -- including higher catch rates and lower false positives," says Demian Sellfors, CEO at Media Temple. "The Cloudmark Authority plug-in integrated seamlessly into our existing SpamAssassin platform in less time and with fewer resources, especially compared to other solutions we evaluated. We are extremely excited about the positive improvements to our email services, which enables us to better protect our customers from spam and malware." The Cloudmark Authority plug-in for SpamAssassin helps Media Temple to more effectively spot spam, phishing and viruses, increasing its ability by 80 percent, says the company. This high accuracy is attributed to a combination of Cloudmark's Advanced Message Fingerprinting technology and real-time corroborated feedback from its live threat monitoring system, Global Threat Network system.

Cloudmark Authority enables companies to deliver high levels of protection against new threat outbreaks and zero-hour attacks without wasting IT resources and valuable administrative time, with the latest threat fingerprints automatically updated every 30 to 60 seconds.   The plug-in also helps to significantly cut hardware and data center-related costs, enabling Media Temple to more efficiently use existing hardware and reduce operational overhead.   SpamAssassin users can get a free trial of the Cloudmark Authority software here.

In June, Cloudmark launched Cloudmark ActiveFilter, a solution that cleans up unwanted messages delivered to the service provider mail store.

Charles Hubert ( aman.420@h... )
I tried MediaTemple.net because I figured they would be a great provider since they host for many large corporations. Boy was I wrong. The setup all went well. Once it was setup, I opened a support ticket and I was suprised that it says Estimated Response Time: 5 hours and 15 minutes. I've never been with a provider that takes that long to reply to tickets. After that, I called them and I had to wait on the line for 30 minutes to speak to someone who really had no idea what they were talking [...]
