Just setup the reseller account. I'm happy with it, but support could be faster.
Really a great hosting company

A2 Hosting is one of the best hosting companies we've ever used. Prices are good and also their support and service is excellent!
We would recommend them gladly to anyone who is looking for a (new) hosting company.

Worst hosting provider ever in every way !!!

I have been dealing with hostnine as a reseller for 12 years now, it has been great by service and support and the pricing was reasonable.
since been bought by an indian company, service is always down, support is really bad ... More and knows nothing.
pricing has increased from $500 to $1100.
my main domain has been dropped and repurchased by someone after paying them the renewal fees which they haven't done and the domain dropped after few weeks and they simply refunded me $15 !!!!
all their servers are outdated and ancient, PHP, SQL ETC has never been updated and i cannot install or run websites on php 5.6
this is just what i can remember now !!!!

Big disappointment
Rob Bob,

My plan was 4GB RAM and I could not upload more than 500M in media library of WP. The support said this was the plan after a couple days of investigating. No well configured, I tested other hostings and it wasn't a problem at... More all. If it was the fixed. No daily backups (extra paid), no Dynamic DNS in all plans. Less
