I've had great results with various things that we have at Media Temple over the years as well as their service. (Godaddy is actually a competitor). As far as why this happened? I think it's because at the price point that MT is at they realized that the pressure from the digital oceans and linodes and similar would end up resulting in an eroding of the demand for what they do. MT is way more expensive even more than low end VPS at Rackspace where we also have some things. I wonder if Rackspace was in the bidding for MT or how this deal went down. This would have seemed to be an excellent acquisition for them.
