(MT) Media Temple Hosting Introduction

Media Temple is abbreviated as MT (but MT does not necessarily stand for Media Temple. MT may also be the blogging program Movable Type, so when you search for Media Temple hosts, try to use the full name.). Currently, MT provides users with five host configuration options:

(GS) Grid-Service

The first configuration of MT's host is (GS) Grid-Service, which is basically similar to BlueHost's virtual host. GS provides 100G space, 1T traffic, 100 domain name bundles, 1,000 GPUs, and can create unlimited databases. The price is $20 per month. If you pay annually, you can save $40 and only need $200. If you use the discount code introduced below, you can get a 20% discount, which only costs $160. MT's GS host uses its own host management system, which is basically as easy to use as the Plesk or cPanel host management systems we are familiar with. It also supports one-click installation of WordPress and other program functions, and also supports management on iPhones. If your budget is limited, then joining MT GS is a good choice, because with the server configuration of GS, running 20 blogs is no problem at all, so the $160 is evenly distributed to each person and costs less than 60 yuan.

The Hosting Card

If you don't want to share a room with others, then MT's The Hosting Card is the best choice. It is a simplified version of GS. Compared with GS, The Hosting Card has the following features:

• Storage space: reduced from 100GB to 5GB (if you don’t run a resource site, how can you use so much space? So the unlimited space of virtual hosts like BlueHost is just a useless promotional gimmick).
• Traffic: dropped from 1TB to 500GB (if you really need that much traffic, you will have enough money to buy a better host).
• GPUs: Reduced from 1,000 to 500 (CPU is the metric you should pay attention to when using a host. I used BlueHost before, and it exceeded the limit every day and shut me down every day. Damn it, but 500 is enough for your blog. If your blog is statically cached, it will basically not exceed the limit).
• Bound domain names: reduced from 100 to 5 (generally 5 is enough for an individual).
• Database: Infinitely reduced to 5 (one database can host N blogs by defining the database prefix, this is not a problem).

Plus you get a free domain name, and the price drops straight to just $95 per year. If you run a successful blog, you would make much more than this amount, right? But The Hosting Card does not allow the use of coupon codes. Compared with the performance of GS, the difference between $95 and $160 is not that big. If your personal budget is sufficient, I recommend choosing (GS) Grid-Service.

(DV) Dedivated-Virtual

Virtual server (Dedivated-Virtual) is the main reason why MT attracts us. I love boiled fish now using MT's DV basic package, 20G space, 1T traffic, 512M memory, and all use the latest server operating system and software: PHP 5.2, MySQL 5.0, CentOS system, Apache 2, the host management backend system is Plesk, the access speed is fast enough to check my blog, and the most important thing is stability. I won't say 100% up time, but I believe 99% is possible. This is basically impossible for the domestic hosts and Bluehost that I use. The biggest advantage of DV host is that you can have root privileges (need to enable in MT management backend). If you are familiar with Linux server configuration, DV host with root privileges is like having an independent server, allowing you to install various software and programs, as well as optimize the host. However, the only downside of Plesk is that it only supports 30 domain names. In addition, MT's DV host has three specifications, but generally you can just choose the DV Base like I do. The price of DV Base is $50 per month. If you pay annually, you can save $100 and only need $500. If you use the discount code introduced below, you can get a 20% discount and only need $400.

(dpv) Nitro and (cx) Coplex-Hosting

MT's Nitro host should be MT's top-level host, with dedicated power supply, VPS support and other luxurious features, but the price of $750 per month is just for your viewing pleasure.
In addition, MT can also customize independent servers according to customer needs. Large companies such as Adobe, Toyota, Sony, Warner Bros., Volkswagen, etc. all use MT's solution. This also shows the power of MT.
MT does not support live chat. Any problem needs to be solved through the MT backend customer system. Generally, it can be solved within 12 hours. There will definitely be no problem of being ignored.

MT Coupon Code

MT has a Coupon Codes: retailmenot, which can be used to get a 20% discount for life.
MT does not support Paypal payment for the first purchase, but you can use Paypal for subsequent payments. So for the first payment you need to use a credit card. Generally, all domestic credit cards can be used, such as the most commonly used China Merchants Bank credit card.
