|
A2 Hosting is one of the leading hosting providers, and they have been for a number of years. Arvixe used to be very highly ranked, though they have fallen short in recent years, which is unfortunate. When looking at the two companies side by side, it is really not much of a competition at all. A2 Hosting is ranked far better by users, they serve more regions, they have more hosting options, and a more impressive list of features available. To put it simply, if you have narrowed your options down to these two hosting companies, A2 Hosting is the clear winner.

ackup and support within record time. Saved me from a panic attack. Truly appreciate that! Some cons: a bit slower than my previous BlueHost, but definitely far less expensive. Also uses the latest MySQL on VPS only, not shared hosting.

o be, delete and start again. That would be OK but I need to keep the 5 year email history, you'd think that would be simple and also that Arvixe would want to help clean the 1700 malware files attracted to my 3 NEW site in 3 days. Alas no!!!

Apparently a reset means the backup taken monthly, weekly and daily are also deleted, BUT that depend who you speak to on chat,. some appear to think its possible to restore from the back up, and frankly logic would hope so.! The backup I took created abuse warning and then the account was suspended for abuse of a GB quota that isn't written anywhere and is supposed to be "unlimited".. The solution; I have to download the files via FTP, the certificates arvixe has for the site are 1 year old so the FTP keep stopping, 5 days later and I am still working on getting the files downloaded. WINSC works better than filezilla because of the cert issue. Lets hope I can get this resolved. It could have been so simple, if they'd done from their side.. it would have probably taken an hour or two. In short: STAY AWAY, WELL AWAY. Oh 2/10 is still too high |
