I remember in 2001 when it was almost a badge of honor to be hosted on (MT), especially if you were one of those website that got the free hosting in exchange of their logo on the page.
I was going to write exactly this. It was so absurd... there were people who placed the logo on their footer without actually having any service from MT. This certainly marked my impression about MediaTemple, I've always considered them a snobbish, overpriced company.
