| | A2 Hosting Adds cPanel 11 - September 29, 2008 - Linux web hosting company A2 Hosting (a2hosting.com) has improved its managed, dedicated hosting packages, equipping every account with the cPanel 11 control panel for no additional charge.
According the A2 Hosting's announcement Monday, cPanel will provide a full-feature control panel that makes it easy for even inexperienced webmasters to manage domains, email, files, FTP, CGI scripts, backups and more.
Fantastico is also included within cPanel for dedicated account subscribers who want a script that automatically installs a wide range of web software including blogs, forums and shopping carts.
"We are very excited about our decision to revamp these popular packages and create a well rounded dedicated hosting experience that includes cPanel at no extra charge," A2 Hosting CEO Bryan Muthig said in a statement. "Hosting customers will love the new features included with these accounts, all starting at a very reasonable price point."
Since August, managed, dedicated hosting customers have had the option of adding A2's Server Rewind data protection, which automatically creates reliable point-in-time "snapshot" data backups of servers and sites every few hours.
A2 Hosting announced another improvement in early September, that would benefit customers and the public at large. The company launched "FutureServe Green Hosting," a 'green' initiative that includes buying carbon offsets, encouraging telecommuting and increasing data center energy efficiency.

Colin Hercus ( colin(at)novocraft(dot)com ) | Hi, I've just moved to A2hosting after bad experience at 3ix.com and greengeeks.com. So far everything is going well with no down time. The support staff moved my site from greengeeks and it was all up in a few hours. I had one minor problem with a php script sending email due to config difference between previous hosting service and a2hosting. A2hosting were extremely helpful in resolving this by adding PEAR smtp module to their servers. Thanks a2.
Colin

Mae ( cuddleboobear(at)hotmail(dot)com ) | Our customer service experience from A2hosting was extremely terrible and the Technical Support guys we spoke with, to seek assistance were so rude. They didn't even make us feel comfortable when we tried to seek help for some Technical Issues. Other than that, one of the Tecnical Support guys told us to Upgrade to one of their packages which was alot expensive than how much we were currently paying instead of making a better solution and just simply resolve the issue we were calling about.
If we would try to evaluate the way they treated us, being their customers, they never meant to cater customer's needs and never made us feel satisfied and the Technical Support guys made us feel like they were so busy to assist us while our website was in "Suspended" status without even giving us any warning or alert about it beforehand.
It should've been alright if they let us experience such situation if only they tried to help us resolve the issue but not even something close to that happened. We were passed on from one person to another and we had to wait for more than 24 hours to have our website up and running normally.
How's that for someone like us having a business and depending on them for our website to be up and running and you have Clients waiting who normally visit your site almost every minute of the day!? Wouldn't you get pissed if you experience the same thing?
A2hosting, you will always leave an impression to your Clients. They will stay because of how you deal with them, irregardless of the situation, "if it's a customer service call over the phone" or "something face-to-face".
To those Tech Support guys who were so sarcastic and didn't really resolve the issue right there and then when we needed your assistance, remember, this is your job. To assist customers or clients whenever TECHNICAL ISSUES like this arise. We are paying you that's why you get paid to do your job.
Our A2hosting's experience wasn't satisfactory at all, not even slight of being satisfied. It wasn't really letting us feel like putting the CUSTOMERS FIRST and leaving a good impression on us to keep make us "come back" or "stay" and make use of your services.

Vincent ( vincent122010(at)hotmail(dot)com ) | Using them for more than a year, I want to drop a line about them.
Their servers are fully-redundant, scalable and flexible, control panel is usable and has web master-friendly interface, prices are hot high and their discounts are nice and help to save some finds.
Support works around the clock.
Servers have no outages.
Uptime is high.
Recommend them to use for those who want to be successful in the IT industry.

Yadav ( devguy(dot)ca(at)gmail(dot)com ) | I was with A2Hosting for 1 days, why? Here is my personal experience. The took about 8+ hours to get my account activated. When I got my email notice my account was up I logged in and then their server went down for several hours. I have up trying to log back in after 4hours. I closed my account down for their 30 day money back guarantee and I was returned my money less $15. So I did not get a fully refund. I will be taking this matter up with VISA as I have all the email to verify my complaint with A2Hosting full refund policy.

ann ( op_7(at)hotmail(dot)com ) | cheap and trash.
maybe cheap but error 404 and error 500 non stop.
Cpanel - good.
customer service - terrible
uptime - server seems to be switch on but your lucky if you get connected and your site appears
tech support - just close tickets without investigation into fault.
conclusion - AVOID.

I'm extremely sorry that you had such an poor experience with our hosting. Our customers always have the best things to say about our support team, so it is extremely troubling that you were so unimpressed with our hosting. Our servers have all been updated so the chance of experiencing anything but a 99.9% uptime is extremely remote. -- a2hosting.com representative | Time Hosted: 1 to 2 years

Jasontor ( jasontor[at]gmail[dot]com ) | My experience with A2 Hosting
I am extremely disappointed with their hosting and appalled at their lack of support. I started hosting with A2 Hosting in December 2007. My first registered support request was March 3rd, 2008.
My problem was my website went down several times a week, although the down time was only a matter of minutes each time, I quickly became concerned about the constant problems I was having with A2 hosting.
The support was terrible, they constantly deny the problems and even on one occasion claimed it was a problem with my website. Over a year I couldn't even tell you how many times my website went down, because it was only down for a few minutes I couldn't submit a support ticket fast enough to prove to them there was a problem. They claimed they had 24/7 monitoring and they didn't see any problem.
In April of 2009 I decided I would add my own external monitoring service, here are my results in the first week alone:
Host name : www.textcall.com
Port : 80
Service : http
Result : Failed (Connection timed out)
Time : 04/03/2009 10:46:13 (GMT-07:00) (back up 04/03/2009 10:55:16 (GMT-07:00))
---
Host name : www.textcall.com | Port : 80 | Service : http | Result : Failed | Time : 04/03/2009 18:16:23 (GMT-07:00) (back up 04/03/2009 18:31:31 (GMT-07:00))
Host name : www.textcall.com | Port : 80 | Service : http | Result : Failed | Time : 10/03/2009 13:48:04 (GMT-07:00) (back up 10/03/2009 14:09:16 (GMT-07:00))
They finally admitted the server was having problems (how could they not), only after a year of complaining and finally adding an outside monitoring service. They claimed to have fixed the problem however, the six days following their claims I was down again six times. After emailing them again, sending the proof that the server was still having problems, their response was:
"If your still having troubles with intermittent downtime, you might want to consider a VPS, or Dedicated hosting plan."
I couldn't believe it. I explained to them that I was not going to upgrade my plan because of the problems they seem to have keeping their servers working. They agreed to migrate my site to another server.
So on April 4th, 2009 - I received an email stating that my site had been migrated to a new server. Unfortunately the site was not accessible. I explained to them that The problem appeared to be that the site couldn't connect to the postgres database server since the migration.
Their response was "Your site is resolving for me at http://www.textcall.com". I had to explain to them once again that it was a database permission problem on their server.
Their response: "I have escalated this issue to our network administrators. They agree it appears to be a permissions issue."
I only had to wait 24 hours for that response.
Here is the most ignorant response I have received from A2 Hosting yet, keep in mind my site and database was working on the other server (when the server wasn't down) and nothing had changed other then the migration:
"The issues appear to be related to permissions on your custom schema. The 'common' schema owner has been changed to your 'textcall' user, but there may still be permissions issues.
Unfortunately, custom schemas are not something that we support, we cannot further troubleshoot permissions on this."
Again, this was after they migrated from one server to another, A2 Hosting decided that they wouldn't support the problem they caused.
This is when I made the first phone call to their support line, and where I got hung up on because I wasn't happy with their excuses. I eventually got the main tech supervisor, the person that oversees the servers and is supposed to make sure everything works correctly. He explained to me that he couldn't figure out how change the permissions on the server they migrated my site to and my only option was to migrate it back to the original server it was on.
Let me say that again. The person that supervises the hosting support, the person that sets up and maintains A2's Hosting servers could not figure out how to change the permissions on the server. This is after my site had been down going on three days.
That was on Tuesday April 7th, 2009. This is now Saturday April 11th, 2009, the site has been down twice since then and is now down again due to some kind of "unexpected problem". I received an email saying everything has been fixed yet my website is still down and support has failed to respond.
I'm not trying to make up your mind on whether or not to use A2 hosting as your hosting provider, I'm merely sharing my experience over the last year with this company. If it's important to you however, that your website is up and accessible then take my experience in to consideration.

Vincent Voic
( webadmin at vincent12 dot name ) | I have been dealing with a2hosting for more than a year and I should say that I am happy using its hosting services. It is probably in a pretty high percentile for hosting quality … These guys provide reliable hosting and decent quality. Almost everyone is checked when going through the buy section so when you look at your confirmation before you buy something, you may have a lot of extra features you never wanted before. The pricing for their services are affordable. Granted, there are cheaper solutions out there, but server reliability and customer service are great. Overall my experience is very good with them. I wanna thank its team for providing me with good services.

I can assure you that this is definitely not typical of the service provided by A2 Hosting. We had a few problems with server setups at the time of this review. We have since resolved these problems and have a 99.9% uptime guarantee that is backed up by 3rd party websites. Please accept our sincerest apologies for these issues. -- a2hosting.com representative | Time Hosted: 1 to 2 years

( info(at)softdescriptions(dot)net ) | I would like to express my point of view about A2hosting.com services. I have been using their services for about 10 months and I always have fast speed connection and my web site is steadily online. It happened so that I have found out the availability of their systems administrator and sent them a support ticket and they responded me in a minute. I am sure that when it comes to hosting, it is better to go for the time-tested and trusted brands in the hosting services market like this company. It is flexible, so I can look at the availability of hosting services that will satisfy all my requirements. I should say that prices are not very high. One more important fact has to be mentioned that I have never had down time of my site during the whole period I have been using their services.

( elven_rangers at yahoo dot com ) | This host is a developer's dream as they have most web languages available and updated. PHP extensions can be installed on demand almost instantly thanks to their prompt live support service (applies to all packages, even cheap ones).
My only wish is that they should allow more than one subdomain for their cheapest package, as well as offer real discount prices for domains when getting registration + hosting ($12.95 for a .com with hosting isn't cool).
