Latest positive review	Life Saving Dec. 1, 2020 Reliability 10 Pricing 10 User Friendly 10 Support 10 Features 10 Our law firm website suffered a devastating hack. Our web development team was unable to resolve the issue so we hired numero... More us professional that could not get it up an running again. In a last ditch effort we called the tech department of A2 Hosting as the site was on their servers. Here is where it gets good... Within minutes of providing our support pin, we got technician Scott W. on the line to assist. He completely fixed the issue that crippled our site in about 15 minutes. The very issue that had us offline for over a week while paid technicians failed over and over. I was and still am utterly amazed and in awe. The value of his services was worth more from a financial standpoint comparatively than the cost of hosting a site on A2 for the next century. ...and it was all free simply because we placed our data on A2. I could never thank this company enough. I could never thank Scott enough. Sincerely, William, client for life. Less	My Own Online Store! Apr. 9, 2015 Reliability 10 Pricing 10 User Friendly 10 Support 10 Features 10 Shopify isn't a normal hosting company. They are basically a business partner and online store portal. They do offer hosting ... More for people who are using their services though, and if that is you, they are great. They do a good job at getting your ecommerce site up and running right away and their hosting is very stable. If you want to start an online store, Shopify is the best in Canada. Less
Latest negative review	Now money is everythin... Oct. 28, 2020 Reliability 6.0 Pricing 2.0 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 Now company has changed his rules, Now money is everything for you. I Had purchased a plan before 3-4 months. Now company has... More removed plan and that plan is not available for new customers. While i purchased the plan , the executive told me that i will get all the benefits which will be available at the time of renewal. But now company is saying that they will not provide any discount either purchase a higher plan or renew it without any discount means at about double cost. its very frustrating. they are not ready to listen. They told me that I can change my plan, then they told me that you have to pay 25$ for changing the plan, again they told me that it was a mistake and no need to pay. Again they told me that there was a misunderstand I have to pay. again they told me that your 25$ fees is waived off. Are you playing with the customers ? Choosing A2 hosting is my big mistake. Less
