Back in the day, MT was one of the top hosts and I was happy to have been a long-term customer. I loved their control panel and the overall service–pricing was reasonable too. Support was there.

When I found out later that Godaddy was acquiring MT, I knew at some point they would eventually be phased out–unfortunately. I think it was several months after the acquisition that I moved back to the previous host.

Things like this remind me of what happens when acquisitions happen. Over the last 15 years, I have used services where they have changed or were taken over. I also remember long ago in the early years of WordPress, I was deeply into MovableType–dang I miss that. They made bad licensing choices which were a blessing for WP.

As for Media Temple, I will still miss them.
