Be aware that you only get the advertised price of $7.95 a month if you signup for a year in advance.

The larger one “starts” at $11.95 a month. Plans “start” at $7.95 a month for the smaller plan.

A lot of people like AWstats and I have never seen a hosting company charge extra for it. Unlike most shared hosting companies that include it, midPhase charges you extra ($1.95/month if you signup during the ordering process) for AWstats. Their plan details page is fairly vague, but do note that their small account only includes 1 MySQL database (the larger one includes 3). Their larger plan has 250,000 MB of diskspace and “unmetered” (supposedly unlimited) bandwidth. They offer 200,000 MB of disk space and 3,000,000 MB of bandwidth on their smaller plan. MidPhase’s shared hosting plans are very competitive. If an uptime guarantee is important to you, I suggest reading and asking about this. I could not find any specific details about the uptime guarantee besides a section of their TOS stating it is basically impossible to provide 100% uptime (“When the Services Will be Available”). Their site says to read their Terms of Service for details about their uptime guarantee.It is obviously well above the ~$9.00 you pay for an average domain. If they register a domain name for you (as their promotion states) and you cancel within your 30 day period, they will charge you for that domain. They charge $21.95 per year for a domain name.All accounts also come up with varying ad credits from companies like Yahoo ($50) and Google ($25).īe aware of some of midPhase’s terms of service clauses: Nothing too amazing or spectacular, but midPhase is on or above par in all of those areas. I’d be curious to see how much the technical support manager will walk you through the hosting process, but the personal call is definitely a nice tough.Īs expected, the company offers 24/7 support over the phone and email, a 30 day money back guarantee, high quality servers in a secure datacenter, an uptime guarantee (99.9%), and all of the standard things. I’ve never heard of a budget hosting company doing something like this before and it was interesting. If you have further questions, you can reach me at my personal extension… That would be all. For any contact support you need, you can reach us via email at You can also reach us via phone which is… You can also chat with us live and you can find that link on our main page under live chat. I’m trying to walk you through our hosting services and want to let you that we are here 24 hours/day to talk to you. “Hi, my name is … I’m working at midPhase and I’m a technical support manager. The message they left said (paraphrased): Shortly after receiving my welcome email, I received a phone call from midPhase.
MIDPHASE CPANEL VERIFICATION
The verification call did not take more than 15 seconds. A telephone call simply involved clicking the link to have a call placed and entering in a confirmation code. As a new customer, your options are to confirm your order using the telephone or fax. The second step required confirming your order (likely for fraud prevention purposes). All of the instructions and information was clearly stated and the first step took about 5 minutes. midPhase also owns the smaller AN Hosting. They will transfer your sites, domains, databases, and so on, buy out your old hosting contract (basically, up to a $50 credit on your bill), and renew your domain name as long as you have an account with them. VPS hosting and web design services are both new offerings from midPhase.
MIDPHASE CPANEL WINDOWS
The company’s offerings are pretty standard: midPhase offers Linux shared hosting (the subject of this review), Windows hosting plans, VPS plans, dedicated servers, and web design services. This review will find out if they are, and if so, what. One would assume a company that is getting so many new customers per month is doing something right. Some people I know say midPhase is the best host others, while others would never get near it. The company, which was launched out of its founders’ dorm room, has been around since May 2003 and is adding over 4,000 new accounts per month. MidPhase (is a fairly large and well known web host based in Chicago.
