Liquid Web vs A2 Hosting

See for yourself how Liquid Web compares to A2

Considering an A2 hosting alternative?

When it comes time to choose the right hosting partner for your mission-critical sites and applications, you no doubt want a company you can trust. Understandably, you want the best technology possible and an established company that can support your organization and stand behind the promises they make.

When choosing between Liquid Web and A2 Hosting, it is important to understand that while both companies offer robust technology, the approach to support and service differ. Here at Liquid Web, we offer an industry-leading 100% network and power uptime guarantee compared to 99.90% uptime at A2 Hosting. Don’t think that matters?

Think again. That’s almost ten hours of allowable unscheduled and unforeseen downtime each year. What happens to your business if that downtime happens during a big company event or sale?

Additionally, all Liquid Web hosting can include full management and support for the entire server stack. That means you can be sure that the care and administration of your servers is being handled by an experienced team of professionals, giving you the opportunity to focus on other parts of your business. You won’t find that depth of stack management and support at A2 Hosting.

We’re also proud to guarantee that all phone and chat support inquiries will be answered by a human in under 59 seconds. And while A2 Hosting offers 24/7/365 support, you aren’t likely to get a guarantee of a human on the line in under a minute to address any support needs.
