"Exceptional support!"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

I was looking for another hosting provider to migrate my websites. I was happy with services on the old one but the prices has become unaffordable, so I was looking for the host that would have the same / similar quality for affordable price. I wasn’t looking for the cheapest option because quality cost. After the researching I stopped with A2 Hosting. One of the things that were important to me that they have a server location in Europe. What I was impressed of a lot was their support. The pre-sale team answered very quickly my questions. Afterwards, when I migrated my 5 websites (despite, they offer one website free of charge, I decided to do it by myself, cause I have knowledge and I still needed to migrate 5 and point the domains from different places). And I could say that during the process I was a lot on their support chat or submitted support tickets. Since I work in IT, I know that even you do the things “by the book” there is always something that doesn’t work as you expected. So I would lie saying that the migration was easy-breezy but their support is superb! If you don’t manage to resolve an issue on their live support (sometimes the issue is too complicated to resolve right away), they were very operative to answer the support tickets. Bottom line, I’m very happy changing the hosting company and that migration process has finished.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

I didn't like so much the usability of their live chat. For example, at the end of the chat you can choose that the transcript would be emailed to you. It would be emailed, but it would never have my initial request (text). It would happen that not everything could be solved on the live support, so I had to submit a support ticket with the same issue. It would be handy if I could just copy-paste my initial text from the transcript, but that text wasn't included there.

What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was changing my hosting company. This meant that I had to migrate five websites from one server to another.

I dislike waiting on hold while on the phone.

"Migrating to A2 Hosting was too easy!"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

The A2 migration program from GoDaddy to A2 Hosting took about 18 hours for them to complete. It worked perfectly! A2 even migrated my WordPress site, BBQSheriff.com. A2 Hosting surprised me. I imagined all kinds of trouble. But migrating was no trouble at all. 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. Easy 3) Change the POP3 & SMTP server addresses in my email program "eM Client." Time-consuming

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

So far I have found nothing to dislike. I is working as advertised.

What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prices are lower, email uses POP3, and SSL is free.

"Very Responsive and Helpful"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

I like that when I submit a ticket, they are on it immediately, for example, if my website is down. For less critical issues, they are on it within hours and I appreciate their sincerity and willingness to help me understand what I'm trying to do. They always direct me to their knowledgebase or off suggestions on the best way to get done what I need to be done.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

At times, they don't understand what I'm asking and that could be my problem, but they make every effort to help.

What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been examining solutions for my clients, for example, their A2 Site Builder so my clients can edit their own websites. I am loving their A2 Site Builder and only wish I could have more than one to offer my clients without setting up a new and separate account for them.

"Tech Support Techs Who Actually Care About Great Service"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

I like that, usually, I will find the technical support agents actually care about providing great customer service to us (customers), which is a rare commodity these days. 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. Just switched from HostGator.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

Some of the techs they use for level one service are from out of the country, which I really don't' prefer, but it's not real common, however.

What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems: general WordPress, plugins, and server errors which just comes with the territory. 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

"Best Hosting Yet"
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!

"Decent hosting for wordpress blogs! Nice, hosting."
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.

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.

"Truly a lifesaver! "
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!

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.

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.

"Excellent service. Quality and security for accommodation."
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.

What problems is A2 Hosting solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do not currently have problems with the service.
