Seems like I’m not the only one with problems with Midphase! Below are some links to some other articles/blogs with issues with Midphase.

For this one you have to go down to the 3rd or 4th headline – past the second photo for the healine “Other miscellaneous trickiness, aka – MidPhase Hosting sucks”

With this one you have to go over to your right – sort of middle of the page to read everyone’s horror story. Marc Bollinger, General Manager with Midphase, actually gives his email address there and asks anyone with problems to email him directly. I did that today – he responded w/in minuties! We’ll see what acutally happens.

 Sophia

I have been struggling since Oct 07 to get a website up to show my art. Who knew it would be this much trouble!!! I absolutely detest midphase. The designer there lacks any ability to communicate and it is impossible to get a response from either the designer or any of the management team. Apparently once they have your money you cease to be important. The site they designed is down right now and a friend is trying to help me get the site back up but he’s never dealt with a content management type site so until this is figured out or I find an affordable designer who knows how to give a client what they want this will have to do as a forum. 

This piece is called Sophia. It was a self portrait I started when I was 39 and it was done by the time my 40th birthday rolled around. I didn’t like the original drawing which was a modified contour drawing but my husband said it looked like me at 70 or 80 years old so I finished it.
