About the company
hosting.com is the new name for A2 Hosting, which was acquired by World Host Group in January 2025 and rebranded in May 2025. The provider’s materials describe its roots in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and a history of performance-focused hosting. Its current legal terms name A2 Hosting, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the service operator.
The company’s materials do not give a consistent founding year: current About and newsroom information says 2001, while an acquisition announcement says A2 Hosting was founded in 2003. A2 Hosting was historically known for its Turbo-branded hosting and developer-focused services.
Hosting.com plans and services
Shared web hosting
Shared plans host websites on a server used by multiple customers. The plans in our comparison include SSL, backups, WordPress installation and email accounts, with different website and storage allowances. They suit personal sites, small businesses and other projects that do not need a virtual server.
Managed WordPress hosting
WordPress hosting combines hosting with management services for WordPress sites. It is aimed at customers who want a WordPress-focused setup rather than managing the full server themselves.
Managed Linux VPS
Managed virtual private servers provide server resources with management support. cPanel and WHM options are available, making this range relevant to customers who want VPS capacity with a familiar hosting control panel.
Unmanaged Linux VPS
These virtual servers provide root access, so customers manage the operating system and software. They are suited to technical users who want control over their server environment.
Cloud and virtual dedicated hosting
hosting.com lists cloud hosting and managed virtual dedicated servers. The latter are described as offering dedicated, non-contended resources for workloads that need more separation than shared hosting.
Dedicated servers
Dedicated server hosting is available in managed and unmanaged forms. It is intended for customers who need a physical server rather than a shared or virtual environment.
Reseller hosting
Reseller plans let customers provide hosting to their own clients. Options include cPanel/WHM and a separate control-panel alternative.
Email, domains and other services
The company also offers professional email, domain registrations and related services, AI application hosting, Node.js hosting, Windows hosting and an AI site-builder product.
Servers, locations and support
For unmanaged VPS, hosting.com lists data-centre regions in London, New York, the US West, Canada, Singapore, Sydney, Mexico, Europe, Dubai and Mumbai. Location availability varies by product, and the full location list is not confirmed for every service. The published support policy lists technical tickets, live chat, phone and billing tickets as available around the clock, every day; email is also listed as a contact channel.
Who should consider hosting.com?
The range may suit website owners who want hosting and email together, WordPress customers, resellers, and developers looking for managed or self-managed Linux servers. Customers who need a confirmed server location for a particular product, or who want to compare narrowly defined contract and refund terms, should check those details before ordering. People who prefer fully self-managed hosting should distinguish it from the provider’s managed plans.
