Keep up the good work! **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** A2 seem to have more flexibility with their server configurations than previous hosts I had used, who had "upgraded" to a more narrow but seemingly more feature-full range of configurations. ### 2. A2hosting unexpectedly stopped my account **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** A2hosting unexpectedly stopped my account with 4 sites for having 2 sites that are actually not illegal and even not important for me. I didnt even receive an email for the ticket A2hosting created!!! I found out that my account is closed when i saw a huge SERP drop on my serp tracking. And this is the second BIG seo issue. The first one was that my other 2000$ VPS account was linked with some a2dns.com domain and it was crawled by google with the content of the hosted site. Creating duplicates!!! This is outrageous!!! I feel like i am betrated, i spent so much money and i received attitude of a free hosting. Thats A2hosting for me now: A free hosting for 3000$. They just ban you when they decide and for what they decide. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** SEO ISSUES!!!! These people dont care about your business. I had 3 accounts with them and 2 of them got SEO issues because of their incompetence. Just never use them for something serious **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** DONT BUY!!!!!!! **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** SEO, Billing, Even downtime. ### 3.

I spent very little time buying the Drive shared hosting package and answering the migration questions. A2 Hosting migration was easy. I only had to: 1) Change the DNS on my 8 Domains at GoDaddy to point to A2 Hostings 4 DNS addresses. Easy 2) Create my email accounts and assign passwords using Cpanel.

Some go above and beyond more than others, of course, but overall - GREAT tech support. In addition, they offer a plethora of services/speeds to choose for your desired plan based on your budget. Plus, their WordPress hosting is cheaper than most and has some of the fastest servers. No down time so far with them at all and we have been with them for a year now.

As stated - tech support is always very helpful. Benefits: Plenty of options within the Cpanel, plenty of speed and turbo boosting servers that aren't necessarily dedicated servers as those are very expensive - just all around, I find them to be a very well rounded hosting provider. Perfect? No. But no one on nor any business on God's green earth is perfect. lol ### 17.

Best Hosting Yet **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laurens A. | Photographer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2020 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** This is the 6th or so service I've used over nearly 20 years and it by far the best of them yet. I have a VPS. People seem to ask about speed because of the claims they make regarding the Lightspeed servers. Every sinle spec on GTmetrix was cut in at least half compared to previous and near identically speced VPSs. And the deal is extremely fare for what we have. More importantly, the tech support is amazing. There's rarely a wait for chat, and more complicated issues that go to a second level get immediate attention. Our site has never been down in three years, except for our own errors, like filling up the disk. It's just a completely different experience. I'm writing this during the COVID period. Business has slowed and expenses are being cut. They had no problem helping us temporarily save some money and no fees have been charged for changes made. This is a company that keeps its clients. 100% recommended! **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Nothing at all so far. All good since 2006! **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** Biggest benefits have been fast and thorough support, and speed! ### 24.

Nothing is bad. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am web developer and I need hosting company for client's website . ### 25. A2 Made my migration painless **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael Q. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2020 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** Saheetha S. was extremely helpful in my https://bluegrassdirect.net site migration to A2. I was apprehensive at first, but Saheetha S. made me amazingly comfortable. I had many questions, but the answers were provided very quickly, and were easy for me to understand. I'm glad I switched to A2 Hosting! **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Nothing. A2 made my signup and site migration painless! **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have had no problems so far ### 26. Terrible Purchase experience **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2020 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** Pricing is competitive for the service I needed. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** After purchasing my Hosting I was requested to provide further information for fraud prevention. I found this insulting and very vague from A2 in terms of what constitutes a fraud screening. Never have I seen from a hosting provider this much scrutiny. This was upsetting and clearly a red flag to how A2 views the relationship with their clients. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hosting. ### 27. Great support. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2020 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** They are providing all the details with helpful links.

Thanks A2Hosting Team. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Still i didn't comes up which I dislike about A2Hosting. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** support is great. really fast & detail oriented ### 28. Excellent hosting service but not cheap **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in International Trade and Development | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2020 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** Fast and decisive customer care, possibility of modular service implementation. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Renting of VPS a little expensive compared to competitors, if they notice potentially harmful scripts installed in the rented VPS they send intimidating emails with threats of closing the account in 24 hours if the issue is not solved. This is a big deal as their antivirus software often encounters false positives, forcing the user to completely remove content from their server. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** For a Prestige+ Managed VPS the best configuration is: Bandwidth 2.9 TB Memory 6 GB Disk 100 GB **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** The purchased service allows to have numerous sites on the same server and infinite databases. ### 29. Avoid this company **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Minas A. | never recomend, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 03, 2019 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** They have super marketing, so I was deceived by this **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** In their shared server everyday my websites were down about 20m - 60m they tech support convinced me to give VPS plan. I bought. when buying technical support, she said that from a purchase to a working server with the transfer of all data it will take a maximum of 2-3 days. But in real ti takes one week and without any migration, I were manually migrated my data. but this is nothing compared to what we have encountered later. Our VPS server are still down since 23th april. Already 11 days. Company not answering a tickets. Our business serious damaged. Now, they had deleted all complaints in comments and posts 400+, and disabled possibility to add new. This company sure not going to restore clients data, and going to get new customers, and need to hide their problems and reality. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** We hosted in a2Hosting our CRM system for real estate agency ### 30. Decent hosting for wordpress blogs! Nice, hosting. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alok S. | Alok Singh, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2019 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** I love the features specially the uptime and website loading speed. My wordpress blog was always working great with A2 hosting. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Nothing much to dislike here. The website was running perfectly and the support team was prompt to help me in resolving DNS error I had faced once. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** Recommended for hosting wordpress blogs. Budget friendly pricing. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** A2 hosting provided me a budget friendly hosting to start one of my project. The project failed unfortunately but it's failure had nothing to do with the web hosting. So overall it's reliable, fast hosting for hosting websites. ### 31.

Recently deleted some files before realizing I hadnt properly backed them up. I reached out thinking I would have to pay some astronomical amount to restore them (prior experience with GoDaddy) and was pleasantly amazed to find out that because of my hosting plan, they automatically back everything up and I was able to restore my files in minutes!!!! AM NEVER GOING TO LEAVE A2!!!!! Also, best of all, each site comes with a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt! **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Nothing. In the year that I have been with A2 there has not been anything they have not been able to do or help me with. Each time I have reached out, they have been courteous and have resolved my issues right away. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** Better value for your money! Definitely worth every penny!!!! **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sites that are hosted on A2 go down much less frequently than those hosted on GoDaddy. ### 32.

A usual 12 pager wordpress site with a few not so busy Joomla blogs. I loved the fact that A2 kept all my websites updated, with latest patches both for WP and Joomla **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Nothing really, but my company had tieups with Amazon S3, so moved it later there **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** Made it very easy to deploy fresh websites with included Softaculous. Included cpanel made website administration very easy. A2 wasn't as speedy as previous VPSes, mainly because I went for a shared hosting instance this time. But the tech support was speedy, compared to previous self managed VPS ### 35. 120 hours+ of the downtime + backups are NOT available. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2019 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** Nothing. It's simply the worst hosting provider I ever worked with **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** The downtime of 6+ DAYS (!!!), the support doesn't respond and doesn't care to update the status/provide the ETA, NO backups are available. All the uptime commitments are a big lie. It's absolutely wasted money. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** NEVER EVER go to this vendor! It's highly unreliable and totally unprofessional. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were keeping the MSSQL database at that vendor ### 36. Support is okay, wait times are horrible, host is okay. **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2019 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** They are fast and reliable for their hosting service and agents seem to be knowledable most of the time. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** If you are looking for fast acting support that deals with issues in a fast matter, this is not your hosting, be prepared to wait 2+ hours for any type of support and even longer for solutions. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** Have faster support times **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** it improved the speed of my site ### 37. Great for agency hosting! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2019 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** I like the speed of the servers and the great support. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** I don’t like their single website hosting as good as the agency. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great for agency hosting. ### 38. unlimited storage and data transfer, can host multiple platform's created websites **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** jane m. | react native developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2019 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** A2 hosting is a hosting service which provides unlimited storage and data transfer. It is optimized for software like Drupal, WordPress, and Prestashop. It is high speed and reliable. The customer support is also very responsive. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Server data backups require swift or turbo hosting plans. These plans can be very costly for small companies. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is an SEO friendly platform thus increases traffic on your platform. It has anytime money back guarantee. It also has a high uptime (99.9%). ### 39. Managed VPS problems **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 18, 2018 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** They market their services well and make it look like a superior service. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** I have an expensive managed VPS (nearly £1k a year with everything included), and one of the Wordpress websites on it got infected with malware. The first I learned of it was the whole VPS being 'suspended' causing all websites on there to disappear (many people therefore upset). After finally getting a reply from A2 and getting the server unsuspended they didn't say why it had been shut down initially and shortly thereafter it got shut down again. They then said it was because malware was bombarding the SMTP server, so they blocked the SMTP port (should have been a reasonable temporary solution). Then they suspended the server again (3rd time in one day) and it took them over 12 hours to reply. I had to chase them this morning via live chat, which didn't help either. So I upgraded to their expensive 'priority support' at which point some non-technical person said they had over-ridden the suspension, and this uptime then gave me just enough time to remove the malware. Then the server went down again. And now I am waiting for a reply to my priority support ticket to get the server unsuspended so I can have another look at the problem. It's funny really how a 'managed VPS' solution that costs £1k a year gets suspended without notice or warning as a result of something they can't help resolve. A2 is not helping me by repeatedly shutting down the server, they are actively and enthusiastically hindering my efforts to resolve the issue in good faith. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** Providing hosting solutions for own company and clients. ### 40. Never thought i would find such a shared hosting with a great performance **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** obai s. | Administrator, E-Learning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2017 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** They deliver server response time and speed higher than the other three companies i used before. but the best thing i like about A2 hosting is that they do not cripple my shared server with extensive limitation rules like other companies. And the support is fast and most helpful. speed support **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** although the service is premium and great, i would have appreciated slightly lower prices. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am hosting my website with a2hosting. And i am receiving a great hosting experience for a shared hosting plan. ### 41. overall, it has been an amazing experience **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hussain S. | Chief Technology Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2018 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** as a WordPress developer, I have used many hosting companies but believe me these guys provide very fast services. I have plenty of objections from siteground but not from this company. WordPress processing speed is really incredible **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** they are often down and support takes a while to reply but overall I don't think they have done a bad job. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** it is highly recommended for their fast processing speed literally not every company out there is giving it. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** it allows me to finish my work early. ### 42. Excellent service. Quality and security for accommodation. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julio Cesar Z. | Ing. de Proyectos, Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2017 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** Well, give support in other languages like Spanish and abound more help content in this language. More information on help topics and tutorials on how to make certain settings. There are videos that are somewhat outdated and are no longer a great support as a guide, take the time to make new revisions since it has visually changed the structure of the page. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Since I started using the service I have not had any problems. The only question you ask for support was answered quickly. Access to the administration site is sometimes slow. The lack of more channels for support or solutions of doubts, thinking of clients outside the United States. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** Of course I will recommend this service. I do not dedicate myself full time to page development or as a web administrator, I have contracted hosting services to store pages of my personal or family business, the service offered by this provider is beyond the thought and the cost to me is quite competent. Has become my first choice. To colleagues and friends who are dedicated to these services I have recommended this service and have found that the price for A2Hosting is for not to let it go. I have not had problems in their service and that has given me confidence to recommend them. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** I do not currently have problems with the service. ### 43. Knowledgeable - but may have to call back 3-4 times **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Yvette B. | The Declutterist, Professional Training & Coaching, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2017 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** I appreciate how kind most of the support staff are, most are very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. I've had my run-ins with a few who did NOT love their job and therefore took it out on me and my questions, making me feel rushed and incomplete in their assistance. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** The run-ins with a few who did NOT love their job and therefore took it out on me and my questions, making me feel rushed and incomplete/dissatisfied in their assistance. I also don't appreciate having to call back several times to get someone who actually knows what they're doing. The advice I take from one rep differs from that which I get from someone else on a callback. It takes a while, but I do get the information that typically results in an upgrade. But I would appreciate some additional help with understanding the developer lingo, when I'm advised as a customer to purchase something that should have been advised to me months ago. It's only when something breaks and my site is down for hours that I hear I need a new PHP and turbo server to improve speed on my site. I get conflicting information and that is frustrating. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** Please educate the tech support staff equally so we don't have the problem of calling in to get correct information from the first call and possibly alleviate the heaadaches that come with tech and developing for the layman. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** SSL certif Cloudflare connection Wordpress issues cPanel issues Log in issues Site Migration Hosting upgrade ### 44. The Best CPanel Webhosting with the best Support on the Market **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mauricio B. | Diretor de Tecnologia, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2017 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** A2hosting is the only company I know that I can call them to a +1800 number and get a complete support that a technical takes my call (at any time) and solves my problem. They have helped me on a Sunday to set up an SSL certificate that had a problem with a schedule go-live the next monday. A2hosting is a hosting company that you can count with and will never let you down. I always recommend them for people who want a complete hosting solution, they rock! **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** That I didn't know about them in the past. I had to go through different 5 cpanel providers and they all suck (slow, terrible support, limitations). **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** Try their support is the best I have ever had. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** Email, hosting and DNS. I realized that I can host stuff for my customers reliably because I know that if I have problems with any details, they help me (either via ticket or via phone if it's urgent) and THEY SOLVE. PERIOD. ### 45. -= A Huge Improvement Over Bluehost and Others! =- **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marty M. | Electronics Engineer, Medical Devices, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2017 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** Support seems very good. I was able to get real responses especially when getting started. I did not always get the correct or detailed answer to my problem however the responses were pretty prompt and courteous and lead to the solution. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Sometimes email support does not go into enough detail to understand things that must be in place for some hosting functions to be correctly working - for example the .htaccess file is located in two places, however only one must be modified for HTTPS redirects. Support did not tell me this, and it led to more time being required than necessary to resolve my problem. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** I would say it is a good hosting provider, but does have nuances in how they do things in a few areas that are slightly different than other hosting providers. However it is done for sensible/good reasons and is part of a well-structured hosting service. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** Despite being recommended by many affiliate marketers, Bluehost has *terrible* support and it made it very difficult to move forward in getting my affiliate site going. By switching to A2 Hosting, I got a real American in tech support when I first got started and was able to get my initial hosting issues worked out and get moving quickly. Also, they seem to have pretty good shared hosting with good hardware and infrastructure. Therefore I have fewer problems with my Wordpress site having terrible latency or other speed problems unlike how I did with WebHostingHub. ### 46. Fantastic Transition from HostGator **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Naveed H. | Consultant, Consumer Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2017 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** Ease of transition from one host to A2 Hosting. More than that, A2 has been one of the fastest when it came to deploying a site live. I've been doing this for more than 5 years now and I the quickness of A2 is truly a benchmark. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Response time from support took a bit longer than it should have. 24/7 chatbox is the best feature of Hostgator customer service. I feel like every time I needed A2 Chatbox customer service it was always off. Since I tend to work at night relying on customer service as night is truly critical. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** If you want fast and efficient. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** Optimized WP allows my site to be as efficient as it can be. I've realized my website performs really well on all platforms and loads extremely fast. Our clients are people who needed haircuts, so with A2 our focus is making sure our website loads the information fast in regards to when we are open as well as allowing users to make appointments without any interruption ### 47. A2 Has provided Excellent service, support, and pricing. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katria L. | Drupal Developer, E-Learning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2017 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** They support Drupal so well. They have drush already set up on the server, which is not always the case with hosting providers. They also warn about out-of-date Drupal code and can even help with patching updates. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** The only thing that I could suggest to improve would be to include free privacy on domains. However, I think in 5 years with a dozen domains I've maybe gotten one email about them. It's not a big concern, but some people want their domain name elsewhere just for free privacy, and then point to the files here on A2. I think it's easier to manage everything in one place. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** If you have a Drupal site, use this hosting. If you want to host multiple sites, use this hosting. A2 Hosting has great prices so you can actually afford to upgrade and do SSD servers at a decent price too. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** Compared to other Hosting providers, I can host more websites. I've looked at the fine print in how many subdomains and websites you can REALLY add based on their database table limits or other things, and A2 lets me host the most. I get the most out of my account, and I haven't hit the limit yet and don't expect to any time soon. ### 48. A2 Hosting is the best in the business **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason D. | CEO & SEO Analyst @ SEO Lagniappe, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2017 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** Customer Service, hands down. No matter the issue I've brought to them ... and there have been many in the 12 years I've been with them, they Always accommodate my needs and my wants. They are beyond fair and go the distance to make me happy. I'm always left with a smile. **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** I don't have a bad thing to say about A2. If I have to pick one thing, I'd say that they might need to hire an extra tech support person or two during peak hours. As I know quite a few of the support folks by name, I see the same folks day and day out. This makes me happy as they know me as well and know I'm bringing the fun stuff to the table. Every now and then, I may have to wait a bit longer than I like, but that's just going to happen now and then no matter the vertical or specific company. I know that when the wait times a bit longer, it just means that business is booming for them. So really, I don't have any complaints. They always get back to me in good time and understand completely when I'm a bit filled with angst when either one of my own sites or one of my client's sites need a bit of TLC. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** Give them a 30-day trial and compare. The proof is in the pudding. If you don't find that what are you getting with them far exceeds your existing hosting provider, they'll refund your money, no questions asked. You have nothing to lose but a bad or subpar hosting provider. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** I solve a great many problems by moving all my clients over to A2 Hosting. They are either saving money, getting services their existing host cannot / does not provide, or best of all, upgrading to a level of customer support you just aren't likely to find elsewhere. ### 49. Excellent performance and developer friendly environment **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bhavesh K. | Branch Manager, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2017 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** I had did much research at my end for find best SSD hosting. Many was there but I come to know A2hosting. Initially I was afraid to buy but trail was awesome and got more then my exception. Using almost 6 moths but never need to connect to support for any issue. All required tools and facility are preset so I can easy and quickly serve to my clients. Easy and default SSH setting. I recommend A2hosting to all who really looking for stable hosting services. One more best thing of A2hosting is referral / affiliate program which is with best in rewards. Thanks to A2hosting Team **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Till date not come to any big issue but sure like to say domain cost to much high where I have to keep my domain at other company. Apart from all other hosting server looks fine and excellent Also at some level feel pricing is quite high then other. Thanks **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** Well all looks good at this stage but soon going to use VPS. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1. Unlimited domain hosting at best cost. 2. Good refereeing opportunity. 3. Default SSH access make me happy. 4. A2 wp booster plugin 5. no need to buy domain to get start with your hosting 6 Lots of tools and many thing ### 50. Quick to setup and great support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Peter A. | CEO & Founder, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2017 **What do you like best about A2 Hosting?** I moved my application to a VPS service hosted by A2 as my previous supplier was stopping the service they provided. The whole setup process was very slick, with them sending me lots of information about how to get started, and what the current status was. I had one issue that I raised with support, and they came back to me and fixed it very quickly, which has given me reassurance for any future issues that may arise **What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?** Nothing so far. They responded quickly to the one issue I had so I am very satisfied. **Recommendations to others considering A2 Hosting:** Moving over to A2 Hosting has been very simple. They gave all of the information that I needed, and helped when I needed it. The whole transition could not have gone smoother. **What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am running a system that enables a builder to plan their workforce project allocation. The workforce can all see where they are supposed to be via a mobile app, enter timesheets and book holidays. Management can use it to plan what they are doing months in advance allowing them to see when they will need to bring on more people, to track where people are now, see which projects are costing them the most, and even create invoices to send out to the customers. ## A2 Hosting Discussions - [What is A2 Hosting used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-a2-hosting-used-for) - [When will someone contact me?
