    I'm happy with how A2 Hosting hosts WordPress. When I need to make changes, my VPS stays online and is easy to control. You can easily use the control panel and when you need help support will answer you clearly. No problems happen, and you can relax.

    We are using cloudways almost for two years. They provide a fast support, hosting based on top of the most well known cloud providers etc etc You can read all that to their website. As we can understand is somewhat as the man in the middle with the big cloud companies (which they have the policy do it yourself). We don't want to loose time with server setup, installations etc. We want quickly to deliver in a secure environment and any problem to be solved fast

Company Information

FAQs

  • Hosting.com

    Is Hosting.com good for beginners?

    Yes. With pre-installed WordPress, automatic updates, backups, and an AI site creator, Hosting.com is very beginner-friendly. Even if you’ve never hosted a site before, you can get started without hassle.

    How fast is Hosting.com compared to other hosts?

    Hosting.com uses AMD EPYC processors, NVMe SSDs, LiteSpeed Enterprise servers, and caching tools like LSCache and Redis. Combined with WP Rocket (discounted for users), sites can load up to 20X faster than on standard shared hosting.

    What happens after the first year’s discount?

    Like most hosts, renewal prices are higher than promotional rates. However, the features you get (speed, support, security, free migration) make it worth the cost if your site is serious.

    Is Hosting.com good for WooCommerce?

    Yes. Their managed WordPress plans fully support WooCommerce, with optimized performance and built-in security that can handle online stores.

  • Cloudways

    Can I install multiple sites or apps on one Cloudways server?

    Yes. You can run as many apps as your server can handle — WordPress, Magento, Laravel, PHP scripts, and more. No site-count limits.

    Does Cloudways offer a free trial?

    Yes. You get a 3-day free trial (no credit card needed) on the Flexible or Autonomous plan. It’s enough to test performance and features.

    How does Cloudways handle billing?

    Flexible plans are billed hourly or monthly — you only pay for what you use. Autonomous is fixed monthly billing. No contracts or setup fees.
