A2Hosting Review: Optimized Servers & Professional Support!
A2Hosting has evolved from Iniquinet in 2003. The company has found its niche offering cutting edge technology including PHP5.
A2Hosting has a special Magento Hosting plan with Magento optimized servers. Customers will get unlimited disc space and monthly data transfer, as well as the Softaculous auto-installer – this is an easy 1-click installer for Magento. The plan costs $5.37 per month and comes with 24/7 support per email, phone and chat by their Guru crew.
A2Hosting has Apache 2.2 server, MySQL 5.0.x, PHP 5.2.9 compiled with PDO/MySQL, mcrypt, hasg, simplexml, GD, DOM and iconv support, host-guard server monitoring, server rewind and much more. Unfortunately if you want to start a new website and register a domain with A2Hosting, you will have to pay for it. The domain costs additionally $12.95 for 1 year. If you want to buy a dedicated IP for your online store, you will have to pay $70 for 3 months.
We found it very convenient that the A2 team has prepared an extensive knowledge base with very useful articles for all kind of web hosting related questions.
I have found A2 through their knowledge base where I was searching for something online. I decided to give them a try and I don’t regret that at all. Their support is great and I haven’t experienced any downtime or serious problems with their service yet. My Magento site works fine and overall I am happy with what I am getting for my money.
