About Midphase
Midphase is a web hosting service focusing quite clearly on the small business market.
Their small business package offers quite a few features for a quite reasonable price -- albeit offered on a three-year contract. Still, it’s unlimited web space and bandwidth, a free domain, three sites, three databases and five subdomains, anti-spam and antivirus services offered for one domain. For a small fee they’ll give you a dedicated IP address, and for additional charges a dedicated secure SSL certificate and Stats2 Web Analytics.
The starter plan is one of the least expensive we’ve seen, again presumed over a three-year contract, and offers unlimited space and bandwidth, a free domain and one site, one database and one subdomain. The Business Web Hosting e-commerce package is quite low-priced over three years, and has unlimited websites, unlimited databases and unlimited subdomains with a free dedicated IP address and free Stats2 Web Analytics.
There are SSD VPS and cloud hosting options as well, with an a la carte approach to size and options for different price points. The VPS offerings scale from 1GB up to 16GB, with such high-end features available as OS Tailoring accelerated site speeds and “driving seat control” for remote reboots and backups.
FAQ's
What support does Midphase offer?
They guarantee technical support any time of the day or night. "Rest assured," company officials say, "if your web server hosting has issues at 3 am, our system administrators are already on it; and, we never leave." As Midphase hosts sites for customers in nearly every country, they maintain 24/7 telephone, online chat, and email support. Half of their support staff speaks a foreign language fluently, too.What's the data center infrastructure?
For shared Linux web hosting and reseller web hosting, Midphase officials say they host your data inside a Tier 3 data center. This would be commensurate with the level of security expected by major banks and financial institutions. The data center itself "is located in a designated disaster-safe zone as outlined by FEMA's National Emergency Management Information System."Do they register domains for me?

They offer personalized emails that match your domain, yes. When you register a domain name, you get personalized email addresses as well, and you can set up as many addresses as you want and manage them easily through the control panel.What's "domain forwarding," and do I need it?
That depends. If online is your main business presence it's probably a good idea to buy a few domain types with the same name -- YourBusiness.com,YourBusiness.net,YourBusiness.co, etc., and send them all to a single website. Domain forwarding is also useful for buying commonly misspelled domains and other common names that people may search for. Midphase offers all options.What are their cloud server guarantees?

Midphase's hosting plans don’t have set limits on disk space and bandwidth. While this is technically "unlimited website hosting," they do expect you to read and abide by their terms of service by not placing disproportionate loads on the server, and not using their servers for file storage. "Most websites don’t use enough resources to show up on our radar" company officials say, "but as business goes, we all want to grow and succeed. If at any time you reach a point where your site has grown out of its server space, we will work with you to move your site to either a new cloud server or your own dedicated server."How about unlimited Linux website hosting?

I’ve been with Midphase Hosting for 5+ years now. Value is pretty good – I pay about $99 a year. For most of the time it just runs my website. What has been exceptional is when there has been an issue. Their Live Chat has been extremely good – helpful people who investigate, signpost and advise me on the situation and resolution. I’m aware that Midphase got slated a few years ago for poor support but I’ve nothing but praise for them.
