📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

A2 Hosting is a green company started by CEO Bryan Muthig in 2003. This comes with a great range of product options: Shared Web Hosting; Reseller Hosting; VPS or Dedicated Servers. They have won recognition in the industry for their hosting solutions, such as the title for the Fastest Hosting.

The feature they praise the most on their website is the speed (they even come with a Turbo Server option that assures fast load pages). A2 Hosting provides the customers with a free account migration (which is great if we think that other companies actually charge this action), as well as backups for your data. Their CloudFlare is free and it can be enabled through the CloudFlare cPanel plugin or if the customer signs ups on CloudFlare’s website.

They come with various elements that increase the functionality of their networks, configuration or software. These include:

• Free SSD – which increases speed on hosting pages;
• PHP 7 – A2 Hosting promises to offer the best version of this software;
• Free SSL – free protection against malware attacks by using Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificates;
• Free SSH – which is available for free without any installation or enabling process.

A2 Hosting provides both Linux and Windows hosting solutions. From here, customers can choose between two control panel alternatives: cPanel or Plesk. Each Linux plan comes with a pre-configured set of features that is available from the moment of purchase: NodeJS , Apache Server, MySQL & PostgreSQL, NodeJS. In the case of Windows plans, there are a number of characteristics, as well: Windows Server, MVC & Silverlight, Miscrosoft SQL Server, Classic ASP & .NET Core.

For Shared Hosting plans, A2 Hosting prepared WordPress, Drupal and Joomla optimized servers. These plans function as turbo servers, and there is also the possibility for a free and easy site transfer. In the case of Reseller Hosting plans, accounts can be easily setup. These are fully white-labeled and come with a free billing system option. Also, Reseller Hosting is equipped with WHM control panel. For VPS Hosting plans, you can get more isolation; you can choose the management level with which you will control your page and A2 Hosting offers free site transfer (for Managed and Core VPS). Their Dedicated Servers let the customer customize the resources coming along with the server. The Dedicated Hosting has similar benefits as the VPS plans.

A2 Hosting has recently made a new partner: WordPress Page Builder Provider Elementor. At the same time, A2 Hosting surprised its customers by introducing Managed WordPress features.
