AN Hosting is the # 10 choice on the
Worlds Best Online Business Resources Top 10 Hosting Reviews List.
In 2001, in a basement office near Chicago, AN Hosting began as a small two-man shop. AN Hosting was acquired by midPhase hosting in 2005. Today it has to its credit over 150,000 domain names spread over 1,000 servers.
AN Hosting provides a single, all inclusive web hosting service package, which includes 500 GB of Disk Space, 5000 GB of Bandwidth and the ability to host up to 20 Domains.
Price Value
The single web hosting package offered by AN Hosting, which is regularly priced at $6.95 per month, appears to be best suited toward the needs of the blogger. In fact, AN Hosting states that they host more blogs than anyone else.
With a no hidden charges or gotcha's policy, AN Hosting is direct in noting that while they provide a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, they will charge back $29.95 for the Free setup fees of an initial account setup. Also charged back would be the cost of any domain registered through them as part of the account setup, regularly $21.95 per year. The domain name would remain the property of the customer.
This review is not used to the lack of information found in regards to this web hosting service. While one could speculate that their provided service would match that of midPhase, unless it is directly expressed, it is only speculation. Given their charge back fee, we would be reluctant to take a chance on looking behind door number 2 to determine the extent of the softwares and features they make available.
Server Reliability
AN Hosting appears to be shy about promoting their Server reliability guarantee on their web site. As they are under the ownership of midPhase, this review looks to the midPhase reliability record of 99.9% Uptime. A call to AN Hosting support has verified our speculation.
We do attempt to bring you as much information as is possible in regards to all aspects of the web site hosting service we are reviewing, however, we are unable to go beyond speculation when the hosting service does not publicly supply information on their web site. At the time of this review, AN Hosting was not providing direct information on the technologies they use.
Control Panel
CPanel is the control panel of choice for AN Hosting. In our web hosting reviews, CPanel has been shown to be a highly popular and widely used control panel, is known for its ease of use and user-friendly features and is considered to be one of the best rated web hosting control panels.
Supported Software:
Software: PHP, MySQL Databases and Ruby/Ruby on Rails.
Pre-configured scripts include WordPress, b2evolution, Drupal, Joomla, Expression Engine Moveable Type.
Nightly Server Backups and apparently much more which is hidden behind door number 2.
