"Truly a lifesaver! "
5/5
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

I have had A2 for almost a year now and switched from GoDaddy. 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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great hosting at affordable cost"
5/5
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

Used A2 to host my optimized websites. 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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"120 hours+ of the downtime + backups are NOT available. "
0/5
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

Nothing. It's simply the worst hosting provider I ever worked with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"unlimited storage and data transfer, can host multiple platform's created websites"

Server data backups require swift or turbo hosting plans. These plans can be very costly for small companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Managed VPS problems"
1/5
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

They market their services well and make it look like a superior service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Never thought i would find such a shared hosting with a great performance"
5/5
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.
