Developer-Friendly Features Across All Hosting Types
We understand that professionals have different needs, which is why we offer a great selection of hosting packages to choose from. Whether your priority is cost, performance, scalability, or control, A2 has a plan for you.
Shared Hosting
Ideal for beginners or developers on smaller projects, shared hosting offers a cost-effective online solution. A2 Hosting enhances this with Turbo Plans for improved speed and supports advanced technologies like Node.Js, usually found in higher-tier hosting.
VPS Hosting
If you’ve outgrown shared hosting but aren’t ready for a dedicated server, VPS hosting is an excellent middle ground, offering a portion of server resources. A2 Hosting’s scalable VPS options allow you to adjust RAM, storage, and security to match your project’s growth, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency.
Dedicated Hosting
For peak performance and control, dedicated hosting offers a server exclusively for your use. A2 Hosting’s dedicated servers provide unmatched speed and reliability, ideal for high-traffic sites or demanding applications, allowing developers to customize resources to precise specifications.
Reseller Hosting
If you’re looking to offer hosting services to your clients, Reseller Hosting from A2 is an excellent choice. It’s designed for scalability, allowing you to expand your offerings as your business grows. This flexibility makes it easy to start small and scale up as you add more clients.
Managed Hosting for a Hands-Off Approach
If you choose one of our more advanced hosting solutions, like VPS and Dedicated Server options, you can get either managed or unmanaged hosting. For developers who love diving deep into the technical side, our unmanaged hosting gives you full control over your server’s backend. It’s a great choice if you’re keen on customizing your hosting environment exactly to your liking and managing it on your own.
On the flip side, we know how important it is for you to focus on what you do best – developing your website or web app. That’s where our managed hosting comes into play. With this option, we take care of the technical maintenance for you, including regular site updates and backups.
A2 Hosting’s 99.9% Uptime Guarantee
At A2 Hosting, we’re committed to providing a stable and reliable hosting environment, which is why we proudly offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee. This is made possible through:

- Auto GIT Repository Deployment: This tool automates the launch of your projects, reducing deployment time and enhancing productivity by ensuring that your latest code changes are easily and reliably pushed to production.
- Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP): SFTP is supported across all our hosting plans, providing a secure channel for transferring files between your local machine and the server. For added flexibility, our cPanel-based hosting plans also support FTPS (FTP Secure), maintaining high-security standards for your file management needs.
- Secure Shell (SSH): Our hosting plans include SSH access, allowing you to securely log into another computer over a network, execute commands on a remote machine, and move files. This capability is crucial for developers who require secure command-line access to effectively manage their hosting environment.
Each of these tools is designed to streamline your workflow and ensure that managing your online presence is as efficient and secure as possible.
Various Programming Languages Available
PHP
We support all versions from 4.4 to 8.1, and you can switch at any point through your control panel.

It’s ideal for both small projects and large-scale applications, offering a seamless coding experience. At A2 Hosting, we provide Ruby developers with the perfect environment to develop and deploy their applications with ease.
Easy Site Cloning & Staging On All Plans
It’s important to have a safe, controlled environment when testing and developing your projects. That’s why we offer easy site cloning and staging across all our hosting plans. Whether you’re looking to create an exact copy of your site for testing purposes or set up a staging site to preview updates and new features, we’ve got you covered.
Cloning and staging are indispensable tools for web developers. They allow you to safely test new website elements, updates, or major changes without the risk of disrupting the live site. This capability is crucial for ensuring that any modifications you plan to introduce are polished and error-free before they go live, maintaining your site’s integrity and user experience.
With A2 Hosting, cloning and staging your website is a straightforward process. We aim to empower developers with the flexibility to experiment and innovate, knowing they have a reliable and efficient way to test their ideas in a real-world environment.

Very good support. Much better than our recent hosting provider. We are glad getting into cooperation with A2.

Frequently Asked Web Developer Hosting Questions
Web hosting for developers is a specialized service that provides the tools and environment necessary for building, testing, and deploying web applications and sites.
It matters because developers need more than just storage space; they require advanced features like support for various programming languages and databases and the ability to handle complex projects. A tailored hosting service can significantly enhance productivity and streamline the development process.
We offer many different hosting plans suitable for developers, including shared hosting, VPS hosting, dedicated hosting, and reseller hosting. Each plan is designed with flexibility, allowing developers to choose the best match for their project’s size, complexity, and budget.
For example, you can choose important parameters and fully customize how A2 hosting works for you. This includes selecting:
- The exact server you want to work on.
- The programming language.
- The database.
- The control panel.
- The command-line management interface.
Our technology and server infrastructure are built with speed and reliability at the forefront.
We rent data centers worldwide and own our servers. This allows us to provide our clients with advanced caching solutions and a great network backbone, ensuring your projects load quickly and perform efficiently, providing an optimal user experience. Besides that, this allows you to choose the data center that is physically closer to your visitors.
Another very important fact is that we use lightning-fast SSD and anycast DNS, which improves website loading speeds by replicating your DNS record across our global network of servers. This ensures visitors connect to a DNS server closer to them rather than relying on a single location and significantly reduces the time it takes for a visitor’s computer to communicate with the DNS server, making your site faster for users worldwide.
A2 Hosting offers competitive pricing across all our hosting plans.
For example, our cheapest hosting plan is $2.99/mo and comes with 100GB SSD, free SSL certificate, unlimited email accounts, and 99.9% Uptime Commitment. Other hosts with similar or cheaper prices often lack the same breadth of features and customization options, making A2 the better financial choice in the long run.
Our Drive plan, on the other hand, is just $5.99/mo but allows for unlimited websites, storage, databases, and add-on domains, making it a great value for developers with more sites. We aim to provide excellent value by balancing cost with performance, security, and support services and make high-quality hosting accessible to developers at every stage of their projects.
