A2 Hosting is a web hosting provider which focuses on providing hosting ‘by developers, for developers’. Originally named Iniquinet in August 2001, it was renamed in 2003 and appears to be privately owned. The company is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan (hence the ‘A2’ name). Its datacenter is close by.

A2 Hosting offers shared and reseller hosting customers a variety of scripts through Softaculous (WordPress, Joomla etc), plus their own in-house DIY A2 SiteBuilder tool. Customers also get a free site builder (rebrandable on Reseller plans) and CloudFlare CDN. VPS and dedicated plans also come with one or two free IP addresses. There are no marketing credits or free domains on offer at the time of writing this review.

A2 Money Back Guarantee / Cancellation Policy

All hosting customers are able to rely on a 30-day money-back guarantee. The company promises that refunds are ‘hassle-free’. The policy only covers monthly instalments, and customers who pay by check are not eligible for refunds. The policy also doesn’t cover custom server configurations, which could affect VPS and dedicated customers.

A2 Uptime/Downtime

All of A2 Hosting’s clients get free access to Server Rewind for free. It’s a completely custom backup tool which is accessible via cPanel and provides customers with restore points for files and databases.

The company proudly claims that its servers are privately owned, and only its own technical team will access them. Its data center is located in Michigan and boasts a redundant network, uninterrupted power, diesel generators, static-free floors, air conditioning and SSAE16 certified security: that includes a gated parking lot and key-operated entry to the premises and servers.

A2 Hosting operates a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and it’s very open about its past performance. Each type of server - shared, reseller, VPS and dedicated - has its own uptime figure which is updated in real time on a statistics page. Figures cover the last 30 days, and each individual server’s uptime is published individually. That’s pretty impressive.
