*📜 Plan description

Starter WordPress plan aimed at first-time sites. The grid lists 25 GB storage, 1 website, a free domain, 1×10 GB mailbox, 1 GB database, FTP access and autoscaling. Security/performance stack includes free web acceleration suite, free CDN and edge caching, DDoS protection, automatic malware scans, email AV/anti-spam, PCI compliance, daily backup protection with 1-click restore, daily malware scans & removal, and unlimited Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates. WordPress conveniences include an easy 3-step installer, auto core updates, staging, management tools and integrated Git version control; migration and 24/7 support are included. Pricing shown is the lowest monthly equivalent on a 24-month term (renews at a higher monthly rate).

Common block: Midphase positions its WP hosting on renewable energy with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 99.9% uptime commitment. Packages scale up storage, site count and mailboxes while keeping the same security/CDN features. You manage themes/plugins while the platform provides the infrastructure, backups and malware scanning. Billing can be monthly or multi-year; the headline savings apply to longer terms.

📄 Editorial Review

Established in 2003 (later acquired by UK2 in 2007), Midphase positions itself as a straightforward, value-focused host for getting online quickly.
midPhase Co-Founder and SingleHop CEO was Zak Boca, who was named one of Inc. Magazine's Reader's Choice Entrepreneurs of the Year 2006. He sold in December 2007 to UK2.net. SingleHop was sold in February 2018 to INAP, rebranded recently to HorizonIQ

midPhase, still in business, sell domains, email hosting, shared hosting (including WordPress hosting), and a website builder, with migration help, one-click apps (80+), free wildcard SSL via Let’s Encrypt, and an easy on-ramp for first-time sites. Their platform and customer tools revolve around the CHI account hub, with StackCP used for day-to-day hosting/email management; cPanel/WHM is referenced in guides and appears on certain services or migrations.

WordPress plans bundle a simple three-step installer, access to templates/plugins, and 24×7 help. Email hosting is pitched as a low-cost way to brand communications on your own domain, with IMAP/POP support and mobile access. Domains are promoted with aggressive first-year pricing and bulk registration tools.

A few strategic shifts are important to note for buyers comparing offers in 2025: VPS, Cloud, and Dedicated services have been moved off midphase.com to Ingenuity Cloud Services. Shared hosting and the site builder remain, but many plan names, prices, and even promotional pages read unchanged since late 2020, and blog activity ceased in 2020 (dates removed on-site). Several policy pages (e.g., "Terms and Conditions 2021" for email) are still shown, which suggests limited product iteration and housekeeping on parts of the site.
