Looking for an A2 Hosting review?
A2 Hosting is a great alternative to many of the more expensive web hosting companies. Customers often land on A2 when looking for a reliable WordPress host or for a much more unique hosting setup (such as hosting for a billing platform or online analytics).
In this A2 Hosting review, we show you what the company has to offer, how good these services are, and what prices you can expect.
Here’s what we’re going to cover:
What is A2 Hosting and what types of hosting it offers? ?
A2 Hosting has been on the market since 2001. They started as a humble setup, in a two-room office in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Since the very beginning, they have offered various types of hosting that cater to different users and project needs.
Let’s take a look at some of the specific hosting offerings that you can get from A2 Hosting:
1. Standard shared hosting services
This is the entry-level hosting offering that’s on the menu for A2 Hosting customers. Like with most hosting companies, the entry-level plans focus on the essentials and providing the features and abilities that most websites require to operate.
These entry-level plans will allow you to host from one to an unlimited number of sites, and use anything from 100 GB to unlimited disk space.
You also get quite a range of side-features and perks that are not commonly seen, even on some of the more expensive hosting setups.
For instance, you get unlimited email accounts on all hosting plans, free website builder integration, and even integrated staging sites.
Then, if you need more, you can get one of the higher-tier plans that also offer the ability to host unlimited websites on one account, free server rewind backups, additional performance optimizations, unlimited databases, NVMe drives, and turbo caching.

2. WordPress hosting
All sorts of WordPress hosting setups have gotten very popular over the last couple of years – not just from A2 Hosting but in the hosting landscape overall. It’s not hard to see why. After all, WordPress now controls nearly 50% of all websites.
A2 Hosting has some attractive servers in this realm as well. What’s particularly interesting is that they don’t offer just one type of WordPress hosting but both unmanaged and managed setups.
- Unmanaged WordPress hosting is basically A2 Hosting’s shared hosting with a WordPress installation added on top and some pre-added plugins like their own A2 Hosting Optimized WordPress (performance plugin).
- Managed WordPress hosting offers a bit more in terms of server power and providing a WordPress-optimized environment, with the addition of a Jetpack Personal license and WP-CLI pre-installed. It’s also run through the Plesk control panel vs cPanel that’s used on shared hosting.
