"I have needed help to use technology, and I was saved by the A2Hosting tech support"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

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.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

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.

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

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.

"A2 continues to impress"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

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.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

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.

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

Dedicated hosting on a large scale, with huge SQL databases of robust and unstructured data.

"Great hosting, excellent support"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

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.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

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.

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

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.

"Concise, clear help desk ticket reply"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

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!

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

I have not discovered any downsides to the hosting service.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

Their website is a bit less designed than others', but I don't mind it that much

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

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.

"Fantastic Hosting Provider"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

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.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

Honestly, nothing. My experiences with A2 have been nothing short of exceptional.

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

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"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

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.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

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.

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

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.

"Excellent support"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

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.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

I have yet to encounter anything I don't like, and I've been using A2 Hosting since 2019.

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

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.

"Professional, Responsive Service, Quick VM, Good Value"
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

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.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

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.

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

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.

"Highly recommended and a well deserved 5-star rating."
What do you like best about A2 Hosting?

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.

What do you dislike about A2 Hosting?

Nothing so far! A2 has been simply fantastic and has continued to impress us with their services.

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

Great webhosting at a pricepoint that works within our non-profit organization's budget.
