An Hosting An Hosting has an "All Inclusive", very
generous hosting plan where
everything you need for great hosting is included in the plan. No extra
charges! We host with An Hosting (hostingplanscompared.com) and our
experience has been very positive. Since we have multiple domains, it was
great to find out that statistics are provided for the addon domains. This
was not true of many of the hosts we investigated. An Hosting is actually owned and operated by MidPhase,
another well respected web site host. MidPhase was not listed in the
spreadsheet because hosting through the MidPhase name is more expensive.
Also, the MidPhase hosting plan, which is comparable to the An Hosting plan,
allows less domain to be hosted. By hosting with An Hosting you can host
more domains and get the same high quality hosting and the same technical
service at a lower price. In our "General
Considerations" discussion we warned of
situations where a free domain name is registered in the company name instead of
the customer's name. At An Hosting the free domain is registered in the
company name. Their stated policy
is that the domain name is automatically transferred to the customer after 60
days when the registrar allows the transfer. In our case this did not
happen until we asked for the transfer, which was freely given. Whenever your chosen domain is
registered in a host company name you should ask that it be transferred to your
name after the 60 days. With An Hosting this is done at no cost to you. An Hosting has not succumbed to the recent spate of storage
and transfer spec inflation that has infected most of the other hosts listed.
While the new specs sound good, they may be too good to be true. Most web
sites would never use more than a small fraction of the offered resources, so
advertising the "great new specs" may be just that, advertising. An
Hosting has subscribed to the Code of Ethics (see below) so they offer a more
realistic hosting package with plenty of resources. An Hosting is the only host that we can truthfully recommend from first hand experience since it is the only one that we have used. In choosing the rest of the hosts for this site we have had to rely on the experiences of others. Click the Button. Here is what some of An Hosting's customers have said about
their hosting experience: "As the new year starts I just
wanted to take a moment to compliment your company. AN Hosting has exceeded our
expectations. When searching for a hosting company we did our research. I was
slightly hesitant to sign up because your offer seemed almost too good to be
true. I wondered if customer support would be there to help when it was needed,
what the down time was and so on. We decided to call and "test" you guys during
early morning hours and again during what we considered peak hours. Both
occasions our calls were answered immediately without any wait times. We signed
up and within minutes we were logged in and preparing our new site. When
technical support was needed, again our calls were answered immediately. Most
importantly the staff was knowledgeable and able to instruct us on what WE were
doing wrong. The one time our site was down we called only to be informed that
they were aware of the problem, knew what it was and it was being corrected
(although it was through no fault of AN Hosting). We were also informed at that
time that we could log onto the forums and see detailed information and status
reports. It has been a while since I have taken time out of my schedule to sit
down and write a Thank You note to a company for excellent customer service. It
seems in today's world the customer is not always put first and it is rare to
find a company that does such. AN Hosting has not forgotten that excellent
customer service even after the sale is the key to success. Keep up the superior
work! " Pat and Sarah H. "Not only do they give superb service to their customers when they've joined, but
they you get this before you even sign up. I've sites with several hosts, and
this is by far the best, because you are treated as real people, and not just
another customer.......Am in the process of transferring a live and active forum, so its very
reassuring to know that the support team is on the ball, just in case something
does go wrong.
The tools and extras in the package should keep even the most exacting customer
happy, as they seem to have thought of almost everything you could ever need,
and have laid the control panel out in a very user friendly way No hunting to
find what you need - its all there and accessible, when you want it."
Dave K. "I've been very pleased with your
services. You never cease to amaze me! The responses have been so great, you've
been very patient with my silliest questions. And the problem is always solved.
I've referred you already to all my family and friends. Thank-you AN Hosting!" Manshu Chhabra, Greenwood, MS Click the Button.
We have hosted with An Hosting (Midphase) since January 2007 and have been
pleased with the service overall. That does not mean that we didn't
experience problems, but they were few in number, not severe in nature, and
often not their fault. We have had good response from tech service though
it meant waiting on hold for quite a while at times. Their ticket system
was used twice and response came within hours. I would give them an "A"
for technical support.
Many people have expressed expressed frustration and some outright disdain
for Midphase. Examples of complaints can be found at
