At one time I hosted my site at Media Temple mainly because all the ‘cool’ sites were using them. Guess what? They are a fucking horrible hosting company. Overpriced, no spam filtering on email unless I paid a much larger fee and my site would go down around once a month. I actually switched to Go Daddy and was much happier with what I got for my money. I don’t like their advertising, and almost left them a few times because of it, but they are much better than Media Temple. You can get tech support on the phone in 5 minutes any time and they know what they are doing. I work on high traffic sites and host them on AWS, but for an amateur you could do worse than Go Daddy. I wouldn’t recommend Media Temple to anybody.
