Media Temple Hacked?
What is it with all the hosting companies get assaulted? Or maybe it was something they did (have not searched extensively). Anyways just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone has to do damage control (like me..)

Media Temple grid server has awful uptime. It's always down for some reason or another. Stay away, folks.
I've been using MT's grid service for a about 2 years. About a year ago my websites started being unavailable for brief periods of time (<30 minutes) at increasing frequency. In november I moved away from them, at that time I had on average one such mini-outage per week.
I've actually heard the opposite. I was planning on moving from BlueHost to Media Temple Grid Server. I know neither are top-of-the-line-or-even-close services. But I don't have any 24/7 mission critical projects either.
Do make sure you leave Bluehost. They denied some stuff about a big malware attack and generally acted ridiculous:

We use MT at work and have had dozens out outages in the past 6 months. Your mileage may vary.
We've been using a $20/mo MediaTemple grid server for site hosting the past 8 months, haven't noticed any downtime before this.
Their DNS is down.
