New technology will always suffer — initially — from critical feedback. Many people expect things to simply work, and when they don’t, they’re disappointed. In reality, (mt) has done a great job in rolling out (gs). They’ve learned from new insights after launch and they’ve identified the areas that needed to be addressed.

There is no such thing as the “Perfect Lunch”.

I’m quite proud to be an (mt) client — and I’m definitely here for the long haul.

After a lot of thinking about hosts and poking around, I went with (mt) when I needed a new host. I try to think about the positive... all sites have problems occasionally--don't remind me! (I'm a sysadmin/web systems analyst for a university, and we have an instance of Apache that likes to hang once a day no matter what I do... but, that's another subject. :-) Media Temple was my choice primarily based on their well known Good Customer Service and their infrastructure. Good business is based on communication. Even when they have had problems, they've kept there clients informed and they are working on the solutions. They run a class iv data center with 11 BGP feed peers! That's almost unheard of in the web hosting industry. I'm a new client, so I'm going to let them prove themselves to me, and I have faith they will. -Dan I agree, Derek.
