My apologies about the wording. I did in fact mean, "as long as the Eon Hub is still in effect."

<p>I wouldn't say permanently.
Objects automatically phase in/out during the Untap Step. If that step is skipped, objects that are Phased Out will not automatically Phase In.</p>

  <ol start="502">

  <p>502.1. First, all phased-in permanents with phasing that the active player controls phase out, and all phased-out permanents that the
  active player controlled when they phased out phase in. This all
  happens simultaneously. This turn-based action doesn’t use the stack.
  See rule 702.25, “Phasing.”</p></li>

<p><a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bReality%20Ripple%5d">Reality Ripple</a> reads, "Target artifact, creature, or land phases out. (While it's phased out, it's treated as though it doesn't exist. It phases in before its controller untaps during their next untap step.)" This seems to indicate to me that it phases in during the untap step. If a player skips their untap step, from an effect such as <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bEon%20Hub%5d">Eon Hub</a>, does this mean that whatever is phased out just stays phased out? </p>

Eon Hub causes players to skip their upkeep steps; not their untap steps.

[Stasis](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=202472) works as an example.

If I cast Reality Ripple with Eon Hub out, is the target Permanently phased out?

[Reality Ripple](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bReality%20Ripple%5d) reads, "Target artifact, creature, or land phases out. (While it's phased out, it's treated as though it doesn't exist. It phases in before its controller untaps during their next untap step.)" This seems to indicate to me that it phases in during the untap step. If a player skips their untap step, from an effect such as [Eon Hub](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bEon%20Hub%5d), does this mean that whatever is phased out just stays phased out?

**Yes.** From the comprehensive rules:

> 702.25m If an effect causes a player to skip his or her untap step, the phasing event simply doesn’t occur that turn.

If by 'permanently' you mean 'until something is done about the thing that prevents untap steps', yes.
However, if that thing is removed, untap steps will happen again, and phased out permanents will phase back in.
