Web hosting is excellent, and it’s not EIG if you want to avoid a monopolist. Email stinks as there is no filtering, resulting in horrible spamming. I switched back to an EIG company and poof, spamming is nominal again.

We’ve been testing A2 Hosting for the past 3 months now and to be honest we’re finding it hard to find fault with them. Currently we’re only testing the shared hosting option, but will be looking at the VPS and dedicated services soon.
If you’re a blogger, eCommerce drop shipper or just someone who needs a simple site with no bells and whistles, A2 is a top choice, seriously. They offer fantastic support, great prices and the uptime in our experience has been 100% so far, although they do offer a 99.99% guarantee anyway.
Plus they help with migrations and can migrate any site within 48 hours, so definitely worth checking them out.
Thanks,
Jamie
