A2 Hosting review
Developer-friendly shared hosting with tuned "Turbo" tiers
Some links here are affiliate links — if you buy through one we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes a Hostoholic Score.
Quick verdict
Worth a look if you want shared hosting that does not fight you when you need SSH, Git or a specific PHP version.
A US host offering cPanel shared hosting through to dedicated servers, differentiating on its performance-tuned Turbo plans and generous developer tooling on shared accounts.
Who it suits
- · Developers who want SSH and Git
- · WordPress sites
- · Tight budgets
Who should look elsewhere
- · No UK data centre
- · Turbo branding makes plan comparison harder than it needs to be
- · Renewal pricing rises significantly

Pricing
What it costs
We publish a price only once an editor has checked it against the provider's own pricing page and recorded the date.
Pricing not yet verified
Hosting prices change constantly and promotional rates change weekly. A stale figure here would look authoritative and be quietly wrong, so we link you to the source instead.
