Web hosting is one of those behind-the-scenes components of a Web site that never gets much attention… That is, until there’s a brownout, a server outage, or a huge traffic surge!
If you’ve ever run a successful Web site, then you’ve experienced at least one – and probably all – of the unexpected and crazy events I just mentioned. You also probably know, then, that a great Web hosting company is defined by how it responds to your needs during these times of crisis.
This response and subsequent attention to detail are the precise reasons why I host all of my new project sites with MidPhase. After dealing with two other hosting companies when I first started out on the Web, I’ve found that being able to work with the approachable, patient, and intelligent team at MidPhase is a huge relief.
Admittedly, just about any hosting company is adequate 98% of the time. It’s this additional 2% where MidPhase really shines (not to mention eliminates my headache), and this is why I give them my business and also recommend them to friends.
Here are 5 reasons why I think MidPhase is right for your hosting needs, too:
- The $7.95 base plan comes with 3 terabytes of bandwidth (this is huge. HUGE), 200 gigs of storage (also huge), a MySQL database, and a free domain for life. The domain part of this equation is awesome — never worry about your killer domain expiring!
- One-click WordPress installation. You know I love WordPress, and you know I love anything that is easy for you, the user. Nothing says “no technical experience required” like the one-click WordPress install from MidPhase. Oh, and they’ve got one-click installs for other CMS platforms like Drupal, Mambo, wikis, forums, and more.
- Thinking about switching from your old host to MidPhase? They’ll do it for you. MidPhase will actually move all your files and databases onto their servers, and they’ll even transition your domain over for you. And if necessary, they’ll buy out your existing hosting contract up to $50—talk about making you feel welcome!
- I’ve been a pesky, problematic customer for them. I’ve been a jerk in some of my support tickets, and I was a lot more demanding than I probably should have been, especially since I don’t really know what the heck I’m talking about when it comes to server maintenance. So what did MidPhase do? They had one of their experts contact me via Instant Messenger and solve my problems—at no additional charge.
- MidPhase flat out understands the Web development environment. The second a new version of PHP or MySQL becomes available, MidPhase upgrades its servers accordingly. They also support the emerging Ruby on Rails development environment, and they do so at an industry-low cost point. The bottom line for developers is that no matter what you’re building, you can build it with confidence on a MidPhase server.

How About a Bonus?
MidPhase is happy to provide you with a free domain name for life… If you already have one, though, you can use the code SECRETLINK when you sign up, and you’ll get 30 days of free hosting instead!
Fine. One more bonus, but that’s it.
MidPhase has experienced explosive growth over the past year or so, and in the process, they acquired another hosting company called AN Hosting. They have rolled both services into one, utilizing the same support technicians, the same datacenters, the same everything.
The catch?
Instead of 200 GB of storage, you get 250 GB (yes, that’s more!), and instead of 3 terabytes of bandwidth, you only get 2.5 terabytes (still huge). Also, AN Hosting will let you create unlimited databases, which is perfect for all you developers out there.
Oh, and it only costs $6.95 per month, $1 less than MidPhase! If you enjoy getting more for less, then give AN Hosting a shot.
