Hosting.com storage limits are defined and guaranteed. A2's unlimited plans were subject to fair use policies and unspecified resource caps.
TAKING TURBO TO THE NEXT STEP
Better security, better infrastructure
When A2 Hosting became hosting.com, we didn't just change the name. We took the opportunity to raise the bar on what every plan includes as standard.
Every hosting.com plan comes with WAF (Web Application Firewall), brute force detection, advanced malware protection, and automated daily backups with 30-day restore options.
On the infrastructure side, we moved everything to fully cloud-based servers running AMD EPYC processors, Samsung NVMe storage, and Anycast DNS. Your site is always on the latest hardware, updated continuously with zero downtime. We also monitor and score your site's performance in real time, so you always know where things stand.
This is what hosting.com was built to be. We are reliable, transparent, and ready to grow with you.
ALWAYS ON FOR EVERY PLAN
LiteSpeed on every plan (not just the expensive ones)
With A2 Hosting, LiteSpeed caching and NVMe SSD storage are reserved for their Turbo plans. If you're on Startup or Drive, you're on standard SSD with no LiteSpeed and you'll need to upgrade to get the performance features they lead with in their marketing.
At hosting.com, LiteSpeed, NVMe SSD storage, and AMD EPYC CPUs come standard on every shared hosting plan. We don't think fast hosting should be something you have to unlock, it should be the standard.
TRUSTED PRICING
The price see is the price you pay
A2Hosting's headline rates $1.95, $3.95, $4.95, and $13.95/mo all required a 36-month commitment upfront. That's three years locked in before you've even seen how the service performs. And when that term ends, renewal rates jump.
Hosting.com's $3.99/mo rate is available on a 1-year term which is a third of the commitment A2 required for their best price. Our renewal rates also come in lower across every tier, so you're not hit with a surprise bill when year one is up.
Trusted by 1.8 million+ active services across 181 countries
97% of hosting.com customers say they'd recommend us to a friend. We don't put that number in fine print we put it front and center, because trust isn't a slogan. It's a promise we show up for every day.
BACKED BY EXPERIENCE
Don't just take our word for it
Thousands of creators, agencies, and businesses rely on our platform every day for performance, security, and expert support. Here’s what they have to say.
You deserve to know exactly what you're getting
Our mission is to be the most trusted hosting company in the world. That's not a tagline, it's the standard we hold ourselves to every day. And trust starts with transparency.
A2 Hosting advertised "unlimited" storage and bandwidth but doesn't publish how much RAM, CPU, or I/O throughput is allocated per account. That makes it genuinely difficult to understand what you're buying or predict how your site will perform under load.
We publish everything upfront, because we think you should know exactly what you're paying for:
Starter – 2GB RAM, 2 vCPU cores, 1,024 IOPS, 50MB/s I/O bandwidth
Plus – 3GB RAM, 2 vCPU cores, 2,048 IOPS, 100MB/s I/O bandwidth
Pro – 6GB RAM, 4 vCPU cores, 4,096 IOPS, 150MB/s I/O bandwidth
Max – 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU cores, 8,192 IOPS, 250MB/s I/O bandwidth
No guesswork, no hidden caps. Just honest hosting.
