Price Value
midPhase offers one of the lowest-priced hosting solutions on the Internet today: Unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth can be had for as little as $4.95 per month. They also throw in a free domain name and a 99.98% uptime guarantee, which makes this a great deal. Also included is a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Reliability
midPhase hosting offers excellent information on reliability of its servers, including making current uptime statistics available on-site to potential and current customers. Uptime records are very good to excellent.

Control Panel
This company has a modified version of CPanel that is much easier to use for the average beginner customer. They call it the "midPhase Control Center" and it offers a unique design that is graphically appealing. The panel allows you to manage your web site; you can add, remove, and modify e-mail accounts on the fly, view your account quota and see how much space you have used, and you can install and set up message boards, chat forums, and a number of other free third-party scripts. This hosting provider also offers a "SimpleSite Wizard" that allows you to create a simple web site without knowing HTML at all.

Customer Support
midPhase support is great: They offer a thorough FAQ system, toll-free support line, emergency paging services, live animated tutorials, a customer support forum, and a help desk open 24/7. A server status report on-site is also a unique benefit that is offered to customers.

The customer service team at this online hosting provider is above average in terms of response times to e-mails and support tickets. midPhase is not one of those companies that will reply to your help questions out of a "wizard" or FAQ guide.
