While ANHosting was orginally an independent web host, they were acquired by midPhase in the middle of 2004. This means they now give the same solid service and reliability that you'd get from midPhase, but that's where the resemblence ends, however. ANHosting takes the one-plan-fits-all approach and does well, giving you a simpler solution than the range of choices offered by their flagship brand. As part of midPhase's brand diversification, ANHosting is a potent competitive weapon.

Shared Hosting

ANHosting's one plan is a shared Unix hosting plan. It comes with generous storage and transfer allowances, as well as midPhase's traditional "free domain for life."

The Mega plan gives you the Fantastico script library, SiteStudio for quick site construction, Agora cart and osCommerce for ecommerce, and unlimited MySQL databases, which opens up the possibilities for your sites. Note that I say "sites", not "site". ANHosting lets you host up to 10 different sites, which is a sweet deal by just about any standard. Add in SpamAssassin and unlimited emails and this plan becomes quite appealing for the multisite webmaster.

Support

Since ANHosting is a brand of midPhase, you get the same great support you'd get from their flagship brand. To quote from that review:

midPhase has a solid support record, with average ticket and telephone supports times below 15 minutes. I think this is their best selling point, regardless of how attractive their features are. If you've tried some other "bargain" hosts, you know that these times can be orders of magnitude larger, which is just painful when your site has a problem. They also have an online support forum where you can converse with other customers.
