    I received wonderful support from A2 hosting

    Date: Jun 26 2024
    Summary

    Pleased with the A2 hosting support and overall experience of their hosting service for my websites. I have several of my own websites related to my artwork, my community, and the towns nearby, and I have also developed websites for clients. I have been self-employed for my entire career, and I have used the web since it began in the last century. I still need a lot of help since I am mostly an artist.

    Positive

    I received wonderful support from A2 hosting when I had issues with my websites, that were due in large part to my lack of expertise. I learned a lot about when to make backups, staging sites, and when to not make too many staging sites daisy chained. Even though my lack of skill caused the A2 staff a lot of extra work, they were very helpful and patient with me as we worked it out. I will not make the same mistake again of getting my work tangled up, and we got it all sorted out nicely. I highly recommend A2 hosting for their team, their equipment, their skill and their patience.

    Negative

    It did take a day or two to hear back from my emailing a ticket, but I knew I could call them with my ticket number to speed things up, and I chose not to do that. They give a lot of attention to each ticket, and I knew that the issue was my mistake.

    Excellent value for an unbelievable price

    Date: Mar 23 2024
    Summary

    Overall the price to value is very good, newer hardware available such as nvme storage and unlimited at that!

    Positive

    Very fast response and helpful so far with initial migration that I depended on jetpack for but turns out jetpack is pretty useless for everything I've paid for - they keep upselling you and require a full year payment which, I know, is a bad sign but being the same company as Wordpress I tried it. I won't renew it lol.

    Negative

    None yet but I am just migrating and so far so good.

    A2 Hosting is a complete scam

    Date: Aug 29 2024
    Summary

    A2 Hosting is a complete scam. Stay away from them. Firstly, they are expensive and don't give anything like free domain and unlimited subdomains which others like Hostinger does. I took A2 Hosting's hosting package in November 2023 on a Black Friday sale but still got an expensive deal. I hosted my sites on their maximum limit of three subdomains. In August end 2024, I emailed them saying I wouldn't be renewing their hosting in November 2024 and deleted my credit card details from their site. Within 24 hours I got a bunch of emails saying my account had been terminated for violation of some TOS. Apparently, 9 months after I hosted my websites, they found evidence of phishing just after I had emailed them saying I won't be renewing in November. So as revenge they did not allow me to use their hosting services for the next three months although I had paid for 12 months. They are plain cheats and scammers. I regret using their services and plan on reporting them to regulatory and enforcement authorities.

    Positive

    Zero, there are no pros with them. They claim to give you great offers but give nothing, no free domain, no unlimited subdomains and charge 2x when you renew

    Negative

    Expensive as hell, no features and Cheaters and scammers will take your money

    As always you are the best. All with me being a rookie for server maintenance. Thanks for being such a patient, wonderful, supportive host.

    Positive

    After jumping through his bag of professional and personal skills and while the issues remain unresolved - it was not from Tom and his colleagues hard work. Rather a perplexing bag of issues created by the ThemRex Theme - Top work Tom and mates, It is now between me and ThemeRex

    Negative

    Nothing found. Sometimes a bit of a wait on Skype Calls

    Longtime fan and customer

    Date: Dec 25 2024
    Summary

    My overall experience? I'm a marketing guy, not a tech/apps/code and plumbing expert so it helps to have some reliable and knowledgeable folks to offer the equivalent of 'roadside assistance' to my websites.

    Positive

    Hosting.com support regularly solves any glitches quickly and easily (once I find that something has gone ka-flooey). It usually ends up being a simple setting, app update or other thing I've overlooked in website maintenance.

    Negative

    No cons, no notes, nothing but thumbs up (if you're reading this far) because they are on the case nights and weekends, holidays and wherever websites are in distress.

    Perl file opening

    Date: Aug 04 2024
    Summary

    Very helpful confirmation allowing me to shift attention to locate the real problem. A2 Hosting is fair and treat everyone as an equal.They by example and the approach of embracing change and adapting to changing work situations encourages others to do the same.They have staff with the making of a strong leaders
    and encouraged customers to garner the respect and attention deserved.
    Communication skills were great and this is reflected by how highly the industry speaks of them.

    Positive

    Good response time. I asked for the absolute server file path for perl. My file open for read gave no file content but my file path was not the issue. The open script had a typo in: open F, "$fle" | die "Can not open file $fle $!"; Before the die the symbol should be "||" for a logical or but the "|" made perl attempt to pipe output to a non-existent file what I call the bit bucket. A2 Hosting returned the absolute file path on a Sunday with the issue reported the night before. My web site is perl based not their WordPress application, but the support for this small customer base still seems to get good staff support.

    Negative

    My own code review left a little to be desired; but a reminder that one missed character can have major results - always bad.

    Date: Feb 10 2021
    Summary

    Great option.
    Their hosting plans from shared hosting, VPS to dedicated hosting can accommodate your site as you grow; don't have to move.

    Positive

    Offers fast shared hosting
    Excellent and responsive always online support. Sometimes even when solved, they keep the ticket alive awaiting in case you revert.
    Help with migration.
    Servers in key locations around the world suited to cater to customers from around the world
    A2 Optimised plugin for WordPress helps any new user unfamiliar with WordPress by niftily configuring necessary protections and speed aspects
    Many articles on different aspects of hosting available on its site.
    The payment avenue used allows the option to pay in local currency. Cannot comment on price comparatively, but does give upfront discount on plans most times even without any coupon

    Negative

    That it's based in the USA whose people voted someone like Trump (given his attitude tells about differently abled, women, benefitting from illegal migrants on his property even while gunning for them etc) as their President!!
    Before renewal, I upgraded. They would not renew from the date of expiry of earlier product but cancelled and refunded for the remainder of its term. And then one of their team sent a second bill when the earlier term ended. It was quickly cancelled after some worried moments
