9rules Partners With Media Temple
Written by Scrivs on September 19, 2005
9rules, Inc. has partnered with (mt) Media Temple, Inc. for them to become our exclusive web hosting and network provider for the Network. We had many discussions with the great folks at (mt), and afterwards, we realized that the passionate people who work there are very similar to us in the sense that they share our same ideals, and think that fiber optic cable is sexy.
Along with running 9rules.com on Media Temple’s world-class infrastructure, this partnership also lets all current and future 9rules Network members have amazing discounts on (mt) hosting for their own websites. This was a critical factor in our partnership, and one that we’re especially excited about because it removes a headache that many publishers have to worry about: quality hosting. There are some other goodies that we dare not speak of yet, but we think that this is a really, really huge step in the right direction for 9rules, Inc., and having such a well-respected company like (mt) along for the ride is icing on the cake.
We are just now beginning to move stuff over to their servers so any slowdowns that you have experienced in the past or currently are from our current server and have nothing to do with (mt).

I’ve been using Media Temple on one of my sites and many of my clients for about a year and half and have been very pleased. Good choice.

Sounds a really good move.
Not to be skeptical (I am not) but what is in it for MediaTemple? I imagine 9rules’ sites hosted on MT won’t require “powered by MT” badges and if the 9rules site itself doesn’t get much traffic then where does MT get its bacon?

For members to get the exclusive 9rules deal they must have the (mt) partnership logo on their site as well, so there are plenty of benefits for (mt) on this one.

(mt) thinks we’re pretty cool. We don’t like to argue

great choice guys
mediatemple is awesome!, their customer service is really great too, there always there when you need them even for stupid little things that I should have been able to fix my self 
I’ve been using (mt) for 2 years now and I haven’t had any problems yet.. aside from that little LA powerouttage but they did email me and explain the situation to me 
which was very much appreciated! Also the guranteed uptime is another great bonus! mm and the new rollover bandwidth on shared servers!.. I could keep going about how great they are.. but I guess you guys already knew it

So customers of mt can answer a simple question for me. Can I install my own blogging package like wordpress on Shared Server (ss). does it support mod_rewrite apache module.
I did email them with my questions. but they just gave me a token and no responce from them yet.
