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.

Disappointing Support ...
Jan. 8, 2021
As a software engineer, I do not trust A2 Hosting with any of my personal information or website hosting. Their policies are ...
More
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.

15.com - without cause - in an attempt to pander to the leftists and the new lefist regime in Washington. On inauguration day, Biden will be sworn-in at a private ceremony - surrounded by 15,000 armed US Troops - more than are currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan - and companies like GoDaddy are happy to bend a knee of fealty to such a leftist, America-hating dictator - without respect or concern for your rights, your freedom of speech, or even your ability to appeal their unwarranted decision.
