MediaTemple Bad Review: Media Temple Sucks by Mark!

September 4, 2011

This bad review of media temple web hosting company was posted by Mark on Small Orange Web Hosting Forum and the replies of his thread.

Hello, I’m a former beta tester for (mt) Media Temple’s (gs) Grid-Server service. Basically, it’s a grid of servers all hooked up to eliminate downtime. It isn’t working right. I’ve tried again and again to get help, and they will usually tell me something like “we’re aware of this issue and are actively working on it”.

It’s been a year. I am now officially fed up. If you google “media temple speed”, you will get MY BLOG as the first result, with my complaints. They just aren’t at all what they used to be. I’ve been a customer since March of 2006.

That site is a simple Joomla! installation. It takes anywhere from 2 to 30 seconds to load. I’m paying $20 a month for garbage. The reliability is horrible. One moment its fast, the other its a speed demon. The above site is a corporate site; I can’t afford that.

Does ASO provide EXCELLENT uptime? EXCELLENT speed? EXCELLENT support? If you say anything less than YES! to those, I’m not switching to ASO. Although, a large amount of webmasters swear by ASO.Is there a noticeable speed difference between the SHARED and VPS hosting? Should I go with VPS if I get large volumes of incoming email daily?

Thanks in advance,
Mark Zakariya

I had a short job writing code for a site that was hosted on Media Temple. I really had trouble getting SSH running and some of the installed software was pretty ancient. Everything seemed to be very slow. I hope that I never have anything to do with them again.
