They´re patient with non tech-savvy people, like me. I´ve never felt discriminated, or treated with a tone of "here we go again with a beginner". I received all the help in a corteous and professional way.
Right now I can´t really think of anything I don´t like. They have just lowered my cost by 70% (taking advantage of their Black Friday promotion) by just asking for it.
A2Hosting helps me host a number of sites. I don´t have to establish a new contract every time I open a new website design service.
Obviously Speed. Free Migration didn't break anything. Excellent & knowledgeful staffs who assisted me very quickly. User control panel with numerous options there itself(very user friendly interface my.a2hosting.com).
there is nothing disliking so far with a2 hosting..
they have amazing speed, knowledge staffs who guide you the right way very quickly..
I've used a lot of hosting companies in the past, and all of them have fallen short in some way or another. Artificial and arbitrary limitations, restricted SQL databases, Unlimited bandwidth that's anything but, and more confound our efforts to serve our customers. A2 has been the absolute opposite. Going above and beyond time and again, A2 has been an incredible host, both flexible and responsive. It's nice to get what you pay for, but it's even better when you get to be pleasantly surprised on top of it all.
The pricing can be a bit eye-opening, and it's rarely on sale. You are getting what you pay for, but pay for it you will.
Dedicated hosting on a large scale, with huge SQL databases of robust and unstructured data.
A2 Hosting has been a cosmic odyssey, illuminating the universe of website management. Their service is like a constellation, each star representing a unique feature of their offerings. Their speed and reliability are unparalleled, like a comet: swift and unwavering. Whether it's website load times or server response rates, A2 shines in its performance. Customer support at A2 is the guiding North Star, always present and quick to resolve any issues. Their technical expertise, courteous approach, and infallible guidance stand out. A2 isn't just a web hosting provider, they are co-pilots in my digital journey, ensuring a voyage that's light-years ahead of others. Thank you, A2, for being my trusted guide on this incredible journey.
Maybe the price, but that's not the deciding factor.
Hosting our customers.
Reliable service, excellent support, and different options.
Maybe the price is higher than another web hosting provides.
The website was down, A2 Hosting found the problem, and their engineers solved it quickly after migration to new turbo server.
A2 has the fastest servers I've worked on in over 15 years as a professional web developer. I've been through many hosts over the years, and my most recent search involved several purchases at various hosts that I needed to refund because either the servers or the support were terrible. I finally found A2 and haven't looked back. Setup is a breeze; everything works as expected without having to hunt for things or go through support to activate features. When you do need support, they're excellent. They take care of any issues without trying to blame the user or make excuses. If they don't know an answer, they escalate the issue to somebody who does - instead of pretending and guessing like you see at so many other hosts.
One client said they had an issue that took a while to get sorted. I haven't had any issues myself, but I guess no support team is perfect. Not specific to A2, but for all hosts (including them): I really dislike that they jack up the rates after the first, heavily-discounted term. I'm not complaining about the discount, but all hosts do this. Because of the price disparity, it makes switching to a new host more logical than renewing with your current one. A2 is good enough that I will stay, but it would be good if hosts just kept their prices the same. After all, if they can afford to give someone 3 years at the lower price, why can't they just keep that price? Why does it have to double or triple on renewal? Seems like gouging, but you can't get away from it.
They're a good, reliable host. Their servers are fast, and run everything I need without glitches, errors or crashes. Uptime is excellent, as is their tech support.
Easy to transfer entire WordPress site, best help ticketing system of any we use Super fast reply day before Thanksgiving. Nate didn't assume anything - he succinctly described the problem, let me know the solution, and even more, told me to ignore one of the warning messages that did not apply to my website. Thank you Nate!
I have not discovered any downsides to the hosting service.
All in one service for hosting, email, database and SSL/TSL certs and support
All perfect thanks! Upgrade and migration were very simple and fast. In 15 years i have tried many hosting services but for now this is the best. Customer assistance is always fast and available even after the purchase, which is rare in this sector.
a2 hosting site design is bad... font sizes should be used better
various types of problems that a freelancer like me who has no knowledge of server management can have
Very quick support response time, kind team members and professional service
Their website is a bit less designed than others', but I don't mind it that much
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.
After having used a number of hosting companies over the years, I decided I needed to find someone better after suffering through a number of service outages. That's when I found A2 Hosting. Over the past few years their service has been fast, reliable, and affordable. Whenever I encounter an issue (usually something on my end) their support staff respond quickly and courteously and help me figure it out. As an added bonus, they're a Michigan based company that supply a service superior to that of their competitors.
Honestly, nothing. My experiences with A2 have been nothing short of exceptional.
Number one is getting support in a timely manner when an outage occurs, for the most part things have been on my end, but if it's on theirs, they openly communicate what's happening and how long it will take. AW is relatively local to me so when I contact support there are no timezone related complications.
A Beautiful Experience with A2 Hosting and it's so good Team. All my queries have properly been resolved. Speed is outstanding. Certainly suggest others go by A2 Hosting. These guys will not harass you at all. It's my personal experience and am not from IT background. Am a Customer using their Hosting site.
Nothing except an earlier miscommunication and understanding which they managed politely and that encouraged me to go with them. Existing customer should be placed on priority. Coz they are yours and may need exceptional service and that must provided.
My Hosting Plan migration was properly done and they provided me the right one going out of way to make me truly satisfied. My Site and Google Play Store Application is now doing with amazing speed.
Their timely and knowledgeable support..
The billing period should be 30 days before.
Providing quality hosting and effective support...
Their quick response to the queries. And it's speed and uptime
So far so good nothing negative to highlight excepy it's high price and 1%downsides.
It's tech gurus are expert in fixing it if at all somthing happened to the site.
A2 Hosting are extremely responsive to all requests that I have made over the years. Their service and hosting has been touble free.
There are no downsides that I have experienced with this company
None
While the hosting plans are great and full-featured, and my Drupal websites run fast and secure, I'm most impressed with their support team. They're great listeners and they're very helpful and very on top of issues, and their support tickets are very easy to find and keep track of. I'm very glad I moved my sites over to A2 Hosting after 19 years of using Godaddy.
I have yet to encounter anything I don't like, and I've been using A2 Hosting since 2019.
The kind of security that I had to pay extra for at Godaddy (which didn't even work against the frequent SQL Injection attacks my site experienced) is built-in to my A2 Hosting plans and makes my life a lot easier, knowing that I don't have to keep dealing with alerts that my site is once again full of malware. Moving my first Drupal site (Drupal 7 at the time) was also a breeze, as A2 Hosting automatically migrated my site to their servers on the Turbo (reseller) plan, and my site IMMEDIATELY worked much better. It turned out that all the bugs with my site had actually been bugs with Godaddy the whole time! My new Drupal 9 site also runs super fast and smoothly on their Drive hosting plan. Getting my domain and the associated email address moved over to A2 was pretty straightforward, and their support team helped get things on track within 24 hours of starting the process so I had no significant down time in my business. As a sole proprietor, this gives me so much peace of mind to know they can help, since I'm also resposible for making my websites run smoothly in addition to my actual business.
The servers at A2 are top notch. Litespeed enabled WordPress ites run smoothly and are quick to load. Support via email is quick and efficient. For the price they are the best one I could find.
The chat support has been improved. Front line support. Second tier has been amazing
I had bad hosts with bad support, as well as poorly maintained servers
A2's customer service is second to none!
I have yet to find anything to dislike about A2!
My websites and email accounts no longer stop working like they did with the other hosting company.
Fast virtual server with low contention. VERY responsive support (to the extent that virtual servers require support). It is refreshing to have real carbon life forms respond to email with email. I am a retired CEO. Prior to that I was a Deming trained quality-management consultant. Quality management is a function of process management. A2 gets it. Moreover, they are continually soliciting customer feedback (which seems so rare these days). When a company measures success - at least in part - through customer satisfaction it ends up as revenues. Other companies spend a fortune acquiring customers and then devote insufficient resources to keep customers. It is short-term thinking (normally related to P.E. ratio). A2 makes a real effort to retain customers by treating them as, well, ... customers.
There is nothing to dislike. Seriously. They really take good care of customers. I would have preferred the more current version of Centos but I was able to update php without much problem.
I advocate for transgender and gender-expansive kids. I use Wordpress. With the VM I can configure LAMP exactly the way I want it. I have used shared hosting in the past and there is really no comparison to using a VM.
What's not to like? A2 Excels at every level!
Not a thing, A2 Hosting has it all.... Price is right, Speed is perfect, and customer service is unsurpassed!!!
Moving from Blue Host has been the best move that Bertke Creative has ever made. Blue Host struggled with uptime, customer service
They're ticket system for support is easy to use. The tech persons response is fast. And I was able to solve my problems easily. They offer a competitive product.
No down sides for me. Sometimes phone help would be nice but otherwise a good product.
I wanted a faster server for the websites I host than my old hosting provided. And found that A2 was a good choice based on speed and price.
We've been using A2Hosting for about 4 years now. They've been great to us! We have not noticed any downtime. They've given us great pricing options for renewal. And the few times we have to contact support with a question or issue, they've always been super fast at resolving the problem for us, whether via online chat, phone or ticket. Highly recommended and a well deserved 5-star rating.
Nothing so far! A2 has been simply fantastic and has continued to impress us with their services.
Great webhosting at a pricepoint that works within our non-profit organization's budget.
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.
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.
I was changing my hosting company. This meant that I had to migrate five websites from one server to another.
They have fast support that seems to be available most days. I've never waited more than 2 minutes.
It can be pricy but you get a lot of value for the cost
I'm able to get web hosting for my business and all my clients. I can make websites for my clients and Host them all on my server.
Much cheaper than my previous provider, and no problems.
I honestly haven't had any problems with any of their services.
They have made it easy to do everything I need, and much less expensively than my previous provider.
Perfect customer support in every way. The kind of customer experience that makes me wish they were my employees so I could give then a raise. This is the standard that every company should strive to achieve.
Up until now there is absolutely not a negative aspect to point out. My expectations were not only met but exceeded.
The problems I encountered were related with software incompatibilities that were dealt with quickly and professionally. Couldn't ask for a better experience
Quick turn-around response time. Very helpful and friendly. Great customer service. Always ready to help on the customer service or technical support side.
I don't have any problem with A2 Hosting at this stage. I've been with them for the past two years.
The hosting of my website. I was registering a domain. Transfer from Squarespace to WordPress website builder. Other technical difficulties I was experiencing as well.
Team member is very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. So, now I'm trying to meet the two hundred and fifty character minimum by typing mostly nonsense. The weather here is very rainy right now, but that's okay because it's been dry for a while.
I dislike waiting on hold while on the phone.
Cost effectiveness and support response time.
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
So far I have found nothing to dislike. I is working as advertised.
Prices are lower, email uses POP3, and SSL is free.
The efficiency, responsiveness and professionalism of the technical support and billing support personnel
There was one instance where I had to advise a tech support rep to review the communication trail because it did not seem like he had.
Migration of my domain registrations, web hosting and email. The primary benefit is that they are patient with no technical customers like me and I have noticed improved performance (loading time) in my website.
This web hosting has one of the best and fast support teams. Web hosting has many good functionalities, but the best functionality is its security tools.
The pricing of A2 hosting is terrible, and they should reduce their plan pricing.
I have hosted many applications. i can manage all of my applications in one place, and it is very secure.
