Media Temple (mt) has been working on their next version of their hosting for about the past year. Opportunity I missed out on the beta testing but got see and hear about some of the cool new features. Today I got an email from an employee at (mt) Media Temple and he told me that their new system will be out OCTOBER 15!
Media Temple is one of the best hosting companies around. Their service is geared toward designers and their service does require some basic knowledge of servers to use. They are very careful about what they release to the public. Their services are tested many times to ensure quality. I have had no problems with them as of yet, except for their email service. I will get into that later.
Prior the the new version (mt) Media Temple called their shared server plan (ss). This was the cheapest type of plan you could get, but the quality was top notch. You didn’t get a lot of space or bandwidth but it was “quality”. (mt) Media Temple has changed the name with the new version to grid-server. With grid-server you get some amazing features at an amazing cost!
