Removing the statement regarding MediaTemple's specific support of software as it is not helpful or relevant to the company's history. If someone wants to make a separate section for keeping track of all MediaTemple's software support, then that's a better option.

Media Temple is a website hosting and cloud hosting provider, which focuses on web designers, developers and creative agencies.[1][2][3][4] The company was founded in 1998 by former CEO Demian Sellfors and John Carey.[5][6] It is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.

Media Temple was acquired by GoDaddy in October 2013,[7][8][9] but the two brands have operated separately since then.

History

In 2003, Demian Sellfors became Media Temple CEO.[10] Sellfors founded Intergress Technologies, a digital business service provider in 1998. Intergress Technologies merged with one of its customers, Media Temple, in 1999.[10] The new company maintained the Media Temple name.[10]

Media Temple released the Grid, a public cloud service that manages user websites across multiple clustered servers rather than a single server, in 2006.[11] The Grid was updated in August 2013.[12][13]

In August 2011, Webtrends acquired Reinvigorate, a portfolio company of Media Temple Ventures, Media Temple’s investment arm.[14] Reinvigorate produces web-based real-time data analytics tools.[14]

Media Temple appointed Russell P. Reeder its president and chief operating officer in March 2012.[4][15] Reeder was president and CEO of LibreDigital prior to RR Donnelley’s acquisition of the digital publishing company in 2011.[4] He left Media Temple in April 2015 to join iCitizen, a civic engagement app based in Nashville.[16]

In June 2013, Media Temple launched CloudTech, a premium 24/7 support service provided by engineers, and upgraded its managed VPS hosting platform.[13]

In October 2013, the Wall Street Journal asked Media Temple to examine the United States Department of Health and Human Services’ healthcare.gov web portal.[2][3][17][18] Media Temple found website code that served no apparent purpose and that the designers of healthcare.gov “failed to follow basic protocols for high-traffic sites.”[3][17]

On October 15, 2013, Media Temple was acquired by GoDaddy[7][8][9] but both companies have kept operating separately since then.[19]

In March 2014, Media Temple unveiled a new managed WordPress hosting product,[20] which the company further expanded in May 2014.[21] In February 2015, Media Temple's managed WordPress offering evolved into a full-featured solution with four new customized plans.[22]

In December 2014, the web hosting company joined Google for Work Partner Program to resell and support Google Apps for Work.[23]

In July 2015, Media Temple joined the AWS Advanced Consulting Partner Program and launched new managed cloud hosting services for AWS.[24] That same month, Rod Stoddard joined the company as its new president.[25]

In October 2015, the company refreshed its shared hosting product, Grid, and relaunched it as a software-managed solution with enhanced ease-of-use and speed.[26][27]

In May 2016, Media Temple unveiled a new enterprise-grade WordPress offering powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS).[28][29][30][31][32]
