When I first started Copyblogger, I chose MidPhase as my web host for two primary reasons:
- They came highly recommended from people I trust; and
- They had one-click WordPress installation.
It’s their reliability and customer service that prompted me to host three new projects with them since. I’ve had a lot of experience with hosting companies in the last 9 years, so when I find one that works I stick with it and tell everyone I can about it. That’s why I’ve happily accepted MidPhase as a sponsor of Copyblogger.
Here are the top 5 reasons why I think these guys are a good choice for your hosting needs as well:
5. Only $7.95 a month for 1.5 terabytes of bandwidth (ridiculously huge), 25,000 MB of storage, free domain registration and renewals, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee. And this is just the base plan!
4. One-click installation of WordPress makes it extremely simple to set up a blog in minutes. This one feature alone makes my life much more livable. :) They also offer Drupal, Mambo, and tons of one-click installs for wikis, forums, ecommerce and more.
3. Easy account administration with web-based control panel, file uploads and branded email allows you to quickly take care of business from anywhere. You can also easily create sub domains and even host 25 additional domains on your account.
2. How about a painless transition from your current host? MidPhase will actually move your files and databases, transfer your existing domain for you, and, if necessary, even buy out your existing hosting contract up to $50. And remember, you can also port content from other blog platforms directly into WordPress.
1. Here’s the true number one reason – service and reliability. Hosting has become ridiculously cheap in recent years, and there are plenty of shady operations competing on price. When you depend on your website to market your business or to make money directly, hosting is not something you take lightly. What amazes me the most about MidPhase is that Dan, one of the founders of the company, will personally give you his phone number, email and IM address (and yes, he actually does promptly respond)!

Bonus Tip #1:
If you already have your own domain name, you can use the code SECRETLINK at sign-up and you’ll get 30 days of free hosting instead of the free domain name.
Bonus Tip #2:
Thanks to their killer service and low prices, MidPhase has been growing by leaps and bounds the last few years. In the process, they acquired another hosting company called AN Hosting, which is now fully integrated with MidPhase… same data center, servers, excellent support staff, everything. The thing is, they offer all inclusive hosting for a buck less at $6.95 a month. The only real difference from the base MidPhase plan is you can only host 10 domains instead of 25, so if that doesn’t matter to you, save some cash and sign up through AN Hosting instead.
Both MidPhase and AN Hosting offer a full 30-day risk free money-back guarantee.
