Media Temple Unveils New Managed WordPress Plans for Enterprises, Agencies

Media Temple is expanding its portfolio of managed WordPress hosting solutions for enterprises. The company announced Tuesday that it will offer two new plans for enterprises and agencies, featuring its new round-the-clock white glove account management service (mt) One and hosted on the AWS cloud.

Media Temple began offering WordPress hosting specifically designed for enterprises as one of four categories released in an update of its managed WordPress hosting portfolio in early 2015. It has now split the enterprise category into two different offerings: Enterprise WordPress and Enterprise WordPress Max Performance.

“Based on the feedback we collected from the WordPress community and our pilot program, we know that enterprises take WordPress very seriously. They also want to partner with experts who can unleash the power of the cloud for them and help increase their overall business efficiency,” said Brendan Fortune, Senior Director of Product Management at Media Temple. “With our highly available managed WordPress solutions, we are bringing them the sophistication of the world’s most popular web and app platform, uniquely combined with high- end, 24/7 support and account management, as well as the reliability of AWS.”

Both new Media Temple plans includes 5 sites and migrations, developer tools, a staging environment, (mt) One, CloudTech Premier support, redundant web, db, and file servers, and scalability. The basic plan starts at 1TB of storage and 1.5TB of Amazon CloudFront bandwidth, with up to 10 EC2 instances, using Docker Containers, and runs an Amazon RDS MySQL database for $2,500 a month. The “Max Performance” version offers four times the bandwidth, double the scaling capacity, and an Amazon Aurora MySQL database.

“Many enterprise-level customers consider the level of service and support just as critical as the quality of the WordPress hosting solution itself,” said Deb Shea, Director of Strategy and Operations at Media Temple. “They want real-timeliness and account managers who can advocate for them throughout the business, which is exactly what our new WordPress plans are offering.”

The company is also offering 30 percent off the first year of WordPress hosting for new customers in celebration of the open-source CMS’s 13th birthday.

Media Temple launched managed services on AWS in July, so moving its updated enterprise WordPress services over was just a matter of time.
