Media Temple was a website hosting and cloud hosting provider, which focused on web designers, developers and creative agencies.[1][2][3][4] The company was founded in 1998 by Thomas Anthony, Demian Sellfors and John Carey.[5][6] It was headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
Media Temple was acquired by GoDaddy in October 2013,[7][8][9] but the two brands operated separately until February 2023, when the Media Temple brand was retired and its services were merged into GoDaddy.[10]
History
In 2003, Demian Sellfors became Media Temple CEO.[11] Sellfors founded Intergress Technologies, a digital business service provider in 1998. Intergress Technologies merged with one of its customers, Media Temple, in 1999.[11] The new company maintained the Media Temple name.[11]
Media Temple released the Grid, a public cloud service that manages user websites across multiple clustered servers rather than a single server, in 2006.[12] The Grid was updated in August 2013.[13][14]
In August 2011, Webtrends acquired Reinvigorate, a portfolio company of Media Temple Ventures, Media Temple’s investment arm.[15] Reinvigorate produces web-based real-time data analytics tools.[15]
Media Temple appointed Russell P. Reeder its president and chief operating officer in March 2012.[4][16] 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.[17]
In June 2013, Media Temple launched CloudTech, a premium 24/7 support service provided by engineers, and upgraded its managed VPS hosting platform.[14]
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][18][19] 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][18]
On October 15, 2013, Media Temple was acquired by GoDaddy[7][8][9] with both companies operating separately until early 2023.[20]
In March 2014, Media Temple unveiled a new managed WordPress hosting product,[21] which the company further expanded in May 2014.[22] In February 2015, Media Temple's managed WordPress offering evolved into a full-featured solution with four new customized plans.[23]
In December 2014, the web hosting company joined Google for Work Partner Program to resell and support Google Apps for Work.[24]
In July 2015, Media Temple joined the AWS Advanced Consulting Partner Program and launched new managed cloud hosting services for AWS.[25] That same month, Rod Stoddard joined the company as its new president.[26]
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.[27][28]
In May 2016, Media Temple unveiled a new enterprise-grade WordPress offering powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS).[29][30][31][32][33]
On December 5, 2022, it was announced that, beginning in February 2023, all Media Temple accounts would become GoDaddy accounts, thus retiring the Media Temple brand.[10]
