AN Hosting Review

Going through a midPhase crisis? Consider the sister web host in this review, AN Hosting

Any review of An Hosting must make mention of the fact that the company is owned by midPhase, a well established player in the web hosting industry. AN Hosting was acquired by midPhase in February 2004 and is almost an exact clone of its big brother with a few select differences.

First, before getting started with this brief AN Hosting Review, I'd like to make the observation that AN Hosting seems to be more developer centric. This host offers unlimited MySQL databases (unlike midPhase), unlimited subdomains, and plenty of other features for common tasks like email and ecommerce. In addition to those “standard” features, AN Hosting customers can also enjoy:

• Ruby on Rails support
• Web site builder
• $50 ad credit from Yahoo
• $25 ad credit from Google
• A free domain for life

Like with midPhase, AN Hosting’s one and only plan offers more than enough space and bandwidth. Anyone who needs more than the provided 500 GB of disk space shouldn’t even be on a shared server.

AN Hosting customers have the same support options as midPhase customers. They can get 24/7 support over the phone and over email. AN Hosting customers can also use any of the midPhase tutorials and knowledge base articles since the hosting environment is essentially the same.
