Considering Liquid Web vs Media Temple?
Based in Los Angeles, GoDaddy-owned Media Temple has cultivated a reputation as a high-end hosting provider with more than 20 years of experience. For many businesses, however, this reputation does not stand up to technical scrutiny. Offering shared, VPS, and dedicated solutions to digital professionals, small businesses, and media brands as well as hobbyists, Media Temple does offer a full product catalog. However, offering a full product catalog in and of itself doesn’t make a hosting provider great. It is important to dig deeper and find out exactly what you are buying when choosing a service like Media Temple.
Many features and benefits included with most high-end hosts are either missing or incur an additional cost at Media Temple. From backup restoration to basic server updates, a la carte add-ons can add up quickly. When choosing a hosting partner for your critical websites and applications, why would you make a choice on anything other than the right technology and support?
At Liquid Web, all of our offerings are fully managed and supported by more than 500 support engineers and technicians. Even better, the features and benefits you expect from a high-end hosting provider are always included when you choose Liquid Web. From full-stack support of your infrastructure to proactive monitoring and performance optimization, our offerings leave nothing to chance as you seek to get the most out of your digital investments.
You can get a solution from Media Temple, or you can get a complete solution from Liquid Web.
