Nice Hosting
Muzaffer Bhat,
I host a blog site http://digitalbhat.com with GoDaddy and found it satisfactory. I recommend this host to all on merit basis and overall experience I had with the service provider.

Because of their great support I am able to provide the same level of support to my customers
gabriel mercado,
A2hosting support is the best. In turn I am able to provide the same level of support to my customers. I have zero issues with them and as long as I explain a problem well they will always find a solution quickly.

Horrible company
Rebecca Donell,
Do not trust your content to this company. They are thieves. They are scammers. Worst company ever. They are frauds and will take your content and you won’t get it back.

The A2 FTP server is extremly slow for anyone
Kurt Gilek,
The A2 FTP server is extremly slow for any user from any place in the world. Still A2 claims everything is fine and refuses to do anything about it. I never ever got such horrible support

 Winner |
There is no doubt that GoDaddy is the better known company in this matchup, but that is about the only thing that they will beat A2 Hosting at. A2 Hosting is a much more reliable hosting company with better prices, and far better user support. They also have many additional options and features that GoDaddy just can’t compete with. A2 Hosting may not have the multi-million dollar marketing budgets, but they always put the quality of their hosting first, which is why they won this comparison.
