Media Temple Web Hosting Review

Since their inception in 1998, Media Temple has focused on creating the best possible hosting platform for developers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and digital innovators alike. That focus has allowed them to successfully provide exceptional hosting services to the absolute pickiest online professionals for over 20 years.

What happens when you create a service that satisfies the people who demand the most? Everyone from bloggers, to mom & pop shops, to large businesses follow!

Media Temple has gone from niche host to powering more than 1.5 million websites around the globe. Hundreds of thousands of professionals now swear by their quality service, myriad solutions, and top-notch technology to run their businesses.

Pricing

When it comes to price, Media Temple may not have the cheapest rates but, they do offer top of the line value.

If always having the latest and greatest hardware, software, and support is a priority for you, Media Template is likely the answer.

Basic hosting plans start at $20 per month with annual plan discounts of $40 off one year, $100 off two years and, $180 off a three year plan.

The latter of which will drop your monthly cost down to a very reasonable $15 per month.

Reliability

Media Temple offers a 99.99% service uptime guarantee on their DV hosting products - this includes all hosting plans, except for the basic shared hosting plan.

If they ever fall short of that number, you'll get 20% of your monthly hosting fee back for each 20 minutes of downtime during the month. It should be noted that the total credit cannot exceed your total monthly bill.

How can they offer to do that? A solid infrastructure means they never have to make good on that cash back promise.

Although their uptime goal is 99.9% for their shared hosting plan, there is no money back guarantee if they fail to meet that number - which is typical of most shared hosting plans out there today.

Customer Support

Their in-house support staff, based out of Los Angles, can be reached via phone, live chat, email, and even on their forums 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I have found their staff to be knowledgeable and straight to the point with no fluff.

If you're looking for someone to put on a show and ask you how great your day was, all while sounding as happy and upbeat as an actor on a TV show geared at 4 year olds... these guys might not be for you. I, for one, love it!

When something is wrong and I'm in a hurry, I'd rather skip the formal pleasantries and get down to business. Media Temple is all business.
