Hosting?

Searching on this site, i found a promo to mediatemple.com

I’m looking to switch my hosting, and I know I saw a kirupa reccomended hosting compnay a while back. When I click mediatemple, it does not look the same as what I remembered.

i am looking for shared hosting.

is mediatemple.com the reccomended shared host provider around here?

can i get ssh shell access?
