There are a lot of questions and answers about Media Temple WordPress hosting from its knowledge base, but those may not meet your demands. Here is a list of frequently asked questions and answers I collected during my testing of its Managed WordPress hosting, it may helped to you.
How Many Visitors Could Media Temple WordPress Hosting Handle
From the beta version to officially released version, there is no precise bandwidth or CPU resources limits set to Media Temple WordPress hosting solutions. I contacted the support team and got an answer to that question:
There are no individual resource or RAM limits for sites. The WordPress Hosting service is a shared service, so your sites share the resources of a network of servers with other customers. We personally will take no action (if you exceeded the 400,000 visitors limit of your Personal package in a month), but it is likely that you may encounter performance issues on the site.
In other words, for now, before Media Temple update their WordPress hosting packages limits, your sites can handle as many visitors as you can. If you have a WordPress site which have more than 1,000,000 visitors per month, Personal package is also suitable.Don’t worry about the limits, start produce more high quality contents for your visitors, as a managed service, Media Temple will solve all problems for you.

The instruction said posts and comments added during staging will not sync to a live site, but according to my experiment, posts and comments do sync to a live site, is it a bug?
How to Increase PHP Upload Limits
The default limits of PHP upload is set to 64MB, You can increase the PHP upload limits by adding a file named “.user.ini” to the ./html directory, then add the following lines to reset the default PHP limits. There is no need to restart Apache service.
upload_max_filesize = 128M
post_max_size = 256M
We can’t set “max_execution_time” on Premium WordPress Hosting, support agent said it is a shared hosting environment, if you set the “max_execution_time” to a larger value, it may cause bad-neighbor effect to other users on the same cluster.
