My Own Online Store!
Lisa L.,

Shopify isn't a normal hosting company. They are basically a business partner and online store portal. They do offer hosting for people who are using their services though, and if that is you, they are great. They do a good j... More ob 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
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.

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
