A2 Hosting Review
4.4/5HostingPerk editorial scoreVery good
A2 built its name on making shared hosting faster and more developer-friendly than the big consumer brands: its Turbo plans run the LiteSpeed stack, all tiers allow SSH, and PHP versions stay current. Its refund policy is also atypical — money-back any time, pro-rated after the initial window. Since joining forces with Hosting.com the branding is shifting, but the performance-first positioning remains the reason to pick it over cheaper entry plans elsewhere.
