How to use your A2 Hosting Promo Code
- Click your chosen A2 Hosting promo code
If you are purchasing one of their shared hosting plans, I recommend going “Turbo.” This will give you all the performance related features, such as more resources, and their A2 Site Accelerator. You can view my detailed guide to optimizing their shared hosting plans here.
To get started with their shared hosting click the relevant A2 Hosting Coupon above. Copy the code to your clipboard, and “Continue to A2 Hosting”.
You will see the a2hosting.com Coupons have been applied.
Click “Compare Plans” for the Shared Hosting option, to display all the different plans.
- Choose your plan.
The next step is to choose your web hosting plan. You have a choice of three A2 Hosting plans, for each of their Linux and Windows hosting.
Unless you have particular reason to choose their Windows Hosting package (i.e., you require ASP), then you should choose their Linux hosting. For example, if you are hosting a WordPress, Drupal or Joomla website then you should choose Linux.
I recommend their Turbo hosting to get all their speed related features, including their Swiftserver platform.
- Choose domain.
After selecting your hosting plan, you will get the option to configure your domain name. A2 Hosting does not offer a free domain so that you will need to either:
- Transfer your domain from another domain registrar
- Use your existing domain and update the nameservers to point to A2 Hosting
- Use a subdomain from A2 Hosting.
I recommend you buy your domain with a specialist domain registrar, and I wrote a detailed tutorial on how to do this with either Namecheap or GoDaddy, including how to update your nameservers. You can view the tutorial here.
To use your existing domain enter it into the relevant box, as shown in the screenshot above.
- Check your order and configure any add-ons.
A2 Hosting have quite a few add-ons for you to choose from. If anything, you may wish to consider the CloudFlare Plan plus for additional performance. Their support is relatively quick and reliable, so priority support should not be needed. Although that is a personal choice.
If you are following the tutorial mentioned above, there is no need to pre-install any software.
- Review and Checkout.
The final stage is to review your order, check the discount coupon has been applied to your chosen billing cycle, and proceed to payment.
If you have used our A2 Hosting Coupon, this should cost you $11.16 per month when signing up for two years (you get additional savings for signing up for longer). For what you get, this is astounding value.
Frequently asked questions
Can you advise which hosting plan I should choose?
I can't see any a2hosting.com coupons for their Cloud hosting package. Are there any?
What payment methods does A2 Hosting accept?
They accept the following payment methods:
- Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
- PayPal, 2Checkout, Skrill
- Bank transfers, checks, and money orders.
- PayU Latam (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Perum, and Brazil only)
Full details on how to pay using these methods can be found here.
What billing plans does A2 Hosting offer?
Does A2 Hosting offer a free domain name?
No. They are one of the few, but increasing, hosting providers that do not offer a free domain name with their web hosting plans.
Despite this, you can still purchase a domain name from A2 Hosting for around $14.95. However, I would recommend either Namecheap or GoDaddy, who are specialist domain registrars, and are much cheaper.
Does A2 Hosting offer an Uptime Guarantee?
One of the most important things a hosting provider can provide is good uptime. To stress this to users, they typically offer an uptime guarantee.
A2 Hosting offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee, which permits roughly 42 minutes of downtime per month. If they fail to adhere to this uptime, they will pay you 5% of the monthly fee for every hour your website is offline.
I recommend that you ignore such guarantees and choose a host with historically good uptime (which A2 Hosting has), and which has great support, so when problems do occur they are dealt with swiftly. You can read why here.
Will A2 Hosting help me upgrade to a VPS or dedicated server when I’m ready?
Do I need a promo code to get discounted pricing on A2 Hosting plans?
Does A2 Hosting offer a money-back guarantee?
A2 Hosting services offer a completely no-questions-asked risk-free money-back guarantee for 30 days.
If you want a refund after 30 days, then it will be prorated at the full price (IE. not the discounted price obtained with any coupons).
Setup fees, SSL, CloudFlare, domain registrations or any other one-time fees for add-ons are not eligible for refunds. No refunds are made for customers paying by check or postal order.
How do A2 Hosting prices compare with that of other hosts?
This depends on the plan chosen. A2 are one of the few hosting providers that offer premium performance-related features for shared web hosting. As such, their prices may be slightly above some ordinary hosting providers.
That being said, their basic plans are very affordable.
Can I get help transferring from my old host?
Yes, but please note that they do any transfers on a “best-effort” basis.
Shared hosting - They will transfer your previous hosting within 30 days of purchase. It may take up to 72 hours for the transfer to be carried out.
Reseller hosting - On yearly plans, 100% of cPanel accounts will be transferred. For less than a year, 50% will be transferred. Additional cPanel accounts cost $2.
