A2 Hosting - The Fastest Web Hosting

How A2 Hosting Is The Fastest Host

Did you know that a mere 1-second delay in your page load speed has been shown to increase your bounce rate and reduce both your conversion rate and visitor satisfaction? At A2 Hosting, we understand that no only does every second matter when it comes to page load speeds, so does your web host. At A2 Hosting, we are focused on helping you get the fastest site performance possible. That's why we have spent over 10 years perfecting and tweaking our SwiftServer platform. Some hosts may claim to be fast. We're the fastest.

At A2 Hosting, it's "Our Speed. Your Success." It's not just a slogan. We strive to back it up with real performance. Everyday we fine tune our SwiftServer platform, a product of over 10 years of expertise. From our free SSDs to our blazing fast Turbo Servers featuring up to 20X faster page load speeds than competing services, A2 Hosting is excited to be your fast hosting provider! 

SwiftServers - Fastest Hosting Features

20X Faster Turbo Servers

Our fastest hosting solution to date available on our SwiftServer Platform is our Turbo package. Choose our Turbo plan and in addition to all of the speed benefits included with our SwiftServers, you'll also get:

  • More resources allocated to your account
  • Fewer customers hosted on your server
  • Faster hosting performance compared to Apache

You also get exclusive access to our A2 Optimized Site Accelerator when you choose Turbo. While other shared hosting provider do not allow caching solutions on their shared servers, we offer a tool for 1-click caching setup to help you get even faster page loads. A2 Optimized, found in your cPanel control panel, makes it easy to setup the caching solutions APC, Memcached and our exclusive Turbo cache 

  • Turbo Cache - The entire HTML contents of your page will stored by Turbo Cache and are served without running PHP.
  • OPcache/APC – External tests have shown OPcache is able to cut PHP page response times in half.
  • Memcached - Increases the speed of your MySQL databases by keeping your most important data in memory for quicker retrieval.

Free SSDs

A2 Hosting was actually one of the first hosts to offer SSD Hosting. Before SSDs though, our customers were hosted on hard disk drives (HDDs). Solid state drives (SSDs) provide faster page load speeds because compared to HDDs with spinning disks and a mechanical arm, SSDs do not have moving parts allowing for much faster read and write times. While HDDs can only perform hundreds of input/output functions each minute, A2 Hosting's SSDs perform can actually perform thousands.

According to our speed tests, pages load up to 300% faster on our SSDs compared to standard hosting. Best of all, we include SSDs for free on your Web Hosting account!

Performance Plus Option

We want your site to run at peak performance even during traffic surges. Thanks to Performance Plus, it can! Add Performance Plus to your account and we'll double your CPU cores and add and additional GB of RAM to your account. With these additional resources, you can rest assured you'll be able to maintain your site’s speed during traffic spikes.

We've taken the guesswork out of getting the fastest page loads for your software. Our team of optimization experts has tested the most popular software solutions, including WordPress, and determined the optimal speed configurations. When you install WordPress on your account with our 1-Click Softaculous software setup tool, your WordPress install comes A2 Optimized complete with the best speed settings. Instead of installing and testing WordPress plugins to get the fastest page loads, we've already done it! You can instead focus your attention on building your site, writing content and promoting it!

Choice Of Data Centers

To decrease the time it takes for you to get your content in front of your visitors it's important to choose a server closest to them. At A2 Hosting we have data center locations around the globe so network latency is never a concern.
