Disappointing Support ...

As a software engineer, I do not trust A2 Hosting with any of my personal information or website hosting. Their policies are ...

very clearly flawed (or nonexistent? They’re busy trying to take down my reviews rather than fix their problems) insofar as account recovery and their support staff, to my direct experience, is very susceptible to phishing. I will not return to or recommend A2 in the future. Very disappointing staff. This is in addition to receiving poor website hosting help in the past.

This is very inconvenient for me and not true for the service package I bought. In addition, I find my website browsing speed is not good either. It's quite slow. Therefore, if I do not have Live Chat Support and cannot guarantee the connection speed, I will need a refund for this service. |
