Winner: A2 Hosting

Aviran Zazon Web Developer & Marketer

HostGator is one of the most recognized names in the hosting industry, but they have some issues in regards to their reliability and technical support. A2 Hosting, on the other hand, is a very popular option because they have done such a great job at building a fast, reliable service for their customers. A2 is very highly rated, and is perhaps best known for their responsive and skilled technical support teams, who can help you resolve just about any issue you may run into. In this comparison, the winner is clear, A2 Hosting.
