Almost every weekend, they went down for hours. They mark the incident solved even without fixing the errors completely and keep telling lies that the problem is fixed for good. All those sites sticking the "In partnership with Media Temple" made me buy their grid service and I deeply regret it now. Those sites which stick those badges should be ashamed because they are helping MT in getting more customer which they don't deserve! Their grid service is the epic failure.

Try GoDaddy, even on just their shared platform I've never had noticeable downtime. No place should keep you down for 50 hours, regardless of anything.

Uptime seems to be good most of the time. Responses are with a human, and fast. They rock for me. Been with them for about 2 years. I have had minimal problems with asmallorange.

Their customer support robot (a live person cutting and pasting generic responses is still a robot) may be quick, but I've had latency issues since I signed up there. And their supposed efforts to do something about it have never resulted in the slightest change in performance. I just don't want to bother moving again to find the same problems elsewhere.

No webhost can give you 100 percent uptime. It just isn't possible. I think that they do a great job and i am real happy with them. Media temple is a good host.

Thoroughly unimpressed by both their technical service and their customer support. I ran back to my previous host as soon as my yearly deal expired. I used MediaTemple once.
