Our experience with MT was absolutely terrible. We suffered from days-on-end outages. Literally 5-7 day outages due to issues with storage clusters. I understand that everyone makes mistakes, but I've had three times the number of VPSs with Rimuhosting since 2007, and I've not had a single moment of down time. I'd feel better if I could justify it by saying that Rimuhosting is some how more expensive or less convenient, or offered lousy service, but none of that is true. It's more convenient, the service is absolutely incredible, and we've had (literally) 100% uptime for the last 4 years.

It sounds like you were on a (gs) Grid-Service with us. This is not a VPS hosting solution, which is what it sounds like you have at Rimuhosting. I'll admit that our (gs) hosting has had its fair share of stability problems. However, our VPS solutions, such as the (dv) Dedicated-Virtual Server and the (ve) Server are incredibly reliable and have virtually zero downtime.

"My site recently got a virus."

No it didn't. Wordpress was hacked.

True. However, it's been pretty well documented that it was Media Temple's fault, not a random WP vulnerability. http://weblog.mediatemple.net/weblog/category/system-inciden...
