Latest negative review	Horrible Uptime May 30, 2018 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 6.0 User Friendly 4.0 Support 2.0 Features 4.0 I switched from another hosting company a few months ago, put a lot of time into it, now much to my regret. The A2hosting ser...More ver is CONSTANTLY down and they can't fix it for hours at a time. Here is a typical status message (see the attachment): "a2ss54.a2hosting.com is currently experiencing a service interruption. Users hosted on this server will experience service degradation as a result. Our System Operations team is investigating the root cause of this interruption. We will provide updates as more details are made available." I am now looking for another hosting company. What a pain. Don't waste your time with a2hosting.com. They appear to have leveraged these high past ratings to get business that they can't handle. Less	I'M NEVER GOING TO DO ... Mar. 30, 2018 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 10 User Friendly 6.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 I had a plan with them, 2GB VPS, paying $2.99. This month, i paid the bill. When i checked my bank account statement, i was c...More harged twice by them (you can check the image in the link): https://ibb.co/hrbRpn So i decided to create a claim in Paypal, and it was approved, to revert one of the charges. Suddenly, i cannot access to my applications hosted in the VPS. I thought it was a maintenance window so i tried to access the management portal in servercheap.net. For my surprise, my account didn't exist. Then, i contacted servercheap.net through his contact form, and half an hour later i got this email: "Hello, Your server has been deleted and your account closed. We do not do business with customer who open paypal payment disputes. Regards Nadya Servercheap.NET Sales & Support Like us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/servercheap.hosting Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ServerCheapNET" What kind of company is this? For filing a claim in Paypal they automatically deleted my server and my account, without considering the data i have there or applications. Why didn't they try to contact me first to solve the issue? If there was a misunderstanding i would happily reverted the claim or pay back if needed. This is the worst service i've received ever by a VPS company. I will never do business with them again. That's an unprofessional way to proceed. Delete customer information without letting customer know about it. Less
