If you’ve ever run a website, you know your hosting provider can make or break your experience. Since 2010, I’ve been a loyal A2 Hosting customer—fifteen years of uptime, solid performance, and great support. So when I heard the news that A2 Hosting is now officially hosting.com, I felt a mix of curiosity, nostalgia, and cautious optimism.
Let’s be honest—change in the tech world can sometimes feel overwhelming. But after digging into the announcement, it’s clear this isn’t just a name swap. It’s a signal that A2 Hosting is stepping into a much bigger role in the digital world.
According to their press release earlier this month, the move to hosting.com marks the beginning of a bold, global vision. Under the umbrella of World Host Group, they now serve over 700,000 customers and power more than 3 million websites worldwide. The goal? To go beyond just hosting sites—to actually empower customers to succeed online.
CEO Seb de Lemos put it best:
“Your website is more than just files on a server. It’s your brand, your livelihood, your marketing engine, and your storefront to the world.”
That sentiment hits home. Over the years, my own web projects have evolved, and I’ve relied on A2 to grow with me. From quick load times to reliable support, it’s always been about more than just storage space. It’s about having a trusted partner in your corner.
What I find reassuring is that the core values of A2 Hosting don’t seem to be going anywhere. They’re simply expanding. Hosting.com promises the same performance and support A2 was known for—now with a broader platform, better tools, and a more global reach. For agencies, freelancers (like myself), and entrepreneurs, this could mean new opportunities to streamline how we manage, scale, and support our sites.
Of course, I’m still learning about what this transition fully entails. My hope is that beyond the rebrand and added capabilities, the experience I’ve grown to trust remains solid. No sudden major changes, just steady improvements over time.
The hosting.com team seems to be thinking big—helping businesses in emerging markets, creating a unified dashboard for digital builders, and turning hosting into a more strategic tool for success.
I’m excited (and cautiously hopeful) to see where this goes. For now, here’s to the next chapter—and to being part of the journey from the very beginning.
Have you been with A2 Hosting too? Or just hearing about the change? Let me know what you think—I’d love to hear how others are feeling about the transition.
