"problems with midphase hosting"... don't get me started!  Ok, so they
weren't CakePHP related, it was just poor, amateurish support and
constant problems that sent me packing up all my websites and moving
to a dedicated server (NOT with Midphase, either). It appears to me
that they grew there business too fast without the proper
infrastructure in place to deal with it. We always had MySQL
connection issues and it wasn't until one of their shared boxes that I
had an account on went belly up and they couldn't get it back up for
over 2 days! C'mon, you should be able to recover from any hardware
disasters in far less time. After the second day of our site being
down, and them not being able to provide an E.T.A.....see ya,
Midphase.

Then 5 months after I closed the account, I started getting daily
admin email notices from cpanel. "They're back". Just when I thought I
was done dealing with there incompetent tech support, I had to go
through another agonizing round of support communication. From "if
you'd like to restore your account..." NO! I don't want to restore my
account with you dumb *%$#'s, I just want to you cancel all traces of
my account like you should have in the first place!

I could go on with several more stories but I just thought I'd warn my
fellow web developers & webmasters about them. Interesting note for
anyone on a shared hosting account: try running this tool on a shared
domain:

http://whois.domaintools.com/

and see how thin your hosting company is spreading there resources by
looking at the Reverse IP feature to see the total number of sites
hosted on the server. With Midphase, you'll typically see 1,200+
sites!

Sorry to get off topic (again).
