Nice to be their client.
You know I always receive a very rapid and detailed answer. Their team is very friendly and offer a quality customer support. Something becoming rarer...
these days. And their pricing policy is transparent, there are no hidden fees at all. Nice to be their client.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH PLANET HOSTER.
FOLLOWING AN UNSOLICITED AND UNCOMMUNICATED SERVER MIGRATION, I FOUND MYSELF WITHOUT EMAIL FOR ALMOST A WEEK. I'm the one who realized that the emails...
weren't working anymore, no message from planet hoster. I contacted the technical department, who immediately minimized the problem: ha oui ok , ha ben ca doit être la migration, juste a rentrer ces nouveaux adresses de serveur. So the guys do a migration, know full well that the mail service won't work anymore, but they don't even warn you and wait for the problems to happen. What do you call that? Incompetence? Amateurism? Unawareness? After reconnecting, I didn't receive any emails that might have come in during the week, so I think they just disappeared. I started replying to some of the emails I'd answered during the week without realizing that the email wasn't working. Some emails were returned and others were never received by customers. No messages appear in La boite SENT even in webmail, so I'm not able to see which messages were sent and if they were received. I've lost 2 reservations like this worth over $2000 and planet hoster doesn't care, no compensation, nothing. PLUS I'M MAKING A CLOWN OUT OF MY CUSTOMERS ASKING IF THEY RECEIVED MY EMAILS OR NOT. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS

A2 Hosting is a complete scam
A2 Hosting is a complete scam. Stay away from them. Firstly, they are expensive and don't give anything like free domain and unlimited subdomains whic...
h others like Hostinger does. I took A2 Hosting's hosting package in November 2023 on a Black Friday sale but still got an expensive deal. I hosted my sites on their maximum limit of three subdomains. In August end 2024, I emailed them saying I wouldn't be renewing their hosting in November 2024 and deleted my credit card details from their site. Within 24 hours I got a bunch of emails saying my account had been terminated for violation of some TOS. Apparently, 9 months after I hosted my websites, they found evidence of phishing just after I had emailed them saying I won't be renewing in November. So as revenge they did not allow me to use their hosting services for the next three months although I had paid for 12 months. They are plain cheats and scammers. I regret using their services and plan on reporting them to regulatory and enforcement authorities.
