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.
