A2 Hosting’s shared plans provide a solid platform for those running anything from a small business website to an eCommerce store already seeing a decent amount of monthly traffic. Each comes with a range of useful features, and you can also purchase add-on services to ensure you’ll get all the support needed with your hosting.
To start, all plans include many of the basic features you’ll want to get started with. Such as a free SSL Certificate, one-click app installation, free domain registration, free site migration, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. This level of included value is typically found with most good providers and is especially great for customers new to hosting.
What’s more, you’ll also have the choice of data center from which to host your site. With options in Michigan, Arizona, Amsterdam, and Singapore. Once again, this is another feature you’ll only really find with the top hosting providers and can work to reduce your dependency on a Content Delivery Network (CDN), if your traffic is solely based in one of these areas.
