"Iffy Support Abiet Good Tech Stack For Hosting"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

It's up to date technology stack for hosting

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

The support is iffy. More than one time you get support staff who don't seem to have a clue or don't seem that interested in helping you. And many times it just takes so long to get good support even though they claim to have "Real Hosting Support, Real Smart, Real Fast", which in my experience is only maybe half of the time.

I'm yet to actually get my account started. No cash so haven't started but I want only a2hosting. Nothing else matters?

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

It actually had a section for Indians. And prices are very fair with a lovely uptime, speed and plus, you get access to tons of features namely Python.

"WordPerfect Centric and Sluggish"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

Solid, basic web host. Provided prompt refund when I decided it wasn't the host for my particular needs.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

Delivery of services was sluggish. Minimal human contact. Had to open a ticket to get anything done. When I spend more time trying to get my web hosting configured and optimized than doing web development, I know I need another host. The CPanel was geared toward WordPerfect users and was an annoyance.

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

Needed subdomains for testing.

"Easier to talk to dead ancestors"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

They are in the low price niche so you'll save a few bucks. If you're willing to pay extra for better service A2 ain't your best choice.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

A2 has once again farmed out their support overseas. Prima facia that's not terrible but the people doing their support have no experience and have no capacity to understand customer needs.

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

They host my website. That's about it.

"Avoid this company"
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.

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.

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

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.

"A great hosting at affordable cost"
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

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
