Editors' Comments
Midphase has grown from a small mid-western shared hosting provider to one of the dominant players in the shared hosting space. For those who require more than just shared hosting plans and don't really want a dedicated server - VPS plans to the rescue.
 
Midphase VPS starts at $49.95 per month and you get up to 15GB storage space where you can basically do whatever you need to do in your VPS space, no controls in place like a shared hosting server. Midphase has a number of people who take advantage of the VPS space to store data, run gaming servers and more.
 
Uptime Guarantee
midPhase gives users both a 99.99% network uptime guarantee and a 99.99% server uptime guarantee, offering a full month's credit for failure to deliver.
 
Basics - What you need to know

Physical Security
