Latest positive review	No reviews yet	Outstanding support from A2 Hosting Paul Eveleigh, Jan. 24, 2023 9.2 OUTSTANDING SUPPORT!

Latest negative review	bottom of the barrel Jan Deruiter, Jun. 29, 2022 2.0 As a web developer, I have worked with different Registrars for 25+ years now and Register.com is near the bottom of the list (along with Godaddy). Apparently there was an issue with a card and among their barrage of daily sp... More am emails there might have been a notice about this. Regardless, we are now almost 30 hours in, after providing new credit card info, for them to restore our site. Spent hours on chat and the phone and they still cannot tell us when they may get around to restoring our email and web services. You keep getting bounced around from all these different departments but in the end, 30 hrs in we are still down. I should also note that the disputed charge was for a service we were not even using and they took it upon themselves Less	They're terrified of DMCA complaints and will ban you without warning! Larry Wall, Dec. 20, 2022 2.0 HostAdvice note: A2 Hosting never claimed to be a one that doesn't respect DMCA notices, and they acted appropriately. One DMCA complaint and they'll ban your entire account no matter how many domains are hosted on it. They c... More laimed one of my websites offers illegal services, but they didn't mention which one, which was absolutely a false claim. It was a DMCA notification from Corsearch that made them ban my entire account of 30+ domains without any notification and a "Thanks!" at the end of the email! Less
