Turbo Servers: Up To 20X Faster
  • Boost Your Bottom Line!
  • Increase Conversion Rates
  • Boost SEO Rankings
  • Lower Your Bounce Rate
  • Handle Up To 9X More Traffic
  • Your choice of web host has a direct impact on your sites' speed and can be the key reason why your site ultimately succeeds or fails. We want to see you succeed! That's why we designed our high speed Turbo Servers. After all, at A2 Hosting, it's "Our Speed, Your Success". What makes our Turbo Servers so fast?

    • 40% Faster AMD EPYC CPU Performance
    • 2X Faster To First Byte
    • Can Handle 9X More Traffic
    • 3X Faster Read/Write Speeds with NVMe Drives
    • LiteSpeed Performance Enhanced Web Server
    • A2 Optimized - Powered By APC/OPcache & Turbo Cache

    See how we tested our Turbo Servers' performance against competing solutions.

    Total Databases

    Whether you want to develop with MySQL, MariaDB or both, rest assured that your databases come fine tuned for the best performance at A2 Hosting.

    The amount of information delivered from your account's server to your website visitors.

    Physical Memory
    NEW! NVMe SSD AMD EPYC Server
    • 3X FASTER Read/Write Speed
    • 40% FASTER CPU Performance

    Provide enhanced processing power with unbelievable I/O capacity to help vastly reduce bottlenecks. Our EPYC hardware also uses non-volatile memory express (NVMe) giving our Solid State Drives (SSDs) the ability to reach their full performance potential with ultra-fast read/write speeds.

    Server Rewind Backups

    Freedom from accidental deletion, mistakes & data corruption! Server Rewind is our free file recovery program. Easily restore your data from saved snapshots when recovery is necessary.

    • Automatic - Account backup snapshots are taken regularly.
    • Convenient - Access Server Rewind from your control panel.
    • Exclusive – You can only get your hands on it at A2 Hosting!
    • Free - Yes, it's actually 100% free. We promise.

    Data backup and restoration is performed on a "best effort" basis. Please be sure to create your own backups of your data. You never know when our datacenter will be hit by a meteor. We will not be responsible for damage or loss as the result of a failed file restore.

    Solid State Drive Speed Boost
    (Complete SSD Solution - Your Site, OS & Database)

    While standard hard drives can only perform hundreds of input/output operations per second, our SSDs perform thousands every second! With no moving parts and no bottlenecks, our SSDs can help your site really fly!

    Some hosts claim to offer Solid State Drive Hosting but only host your OS or databases, not your files.  We use SSD for everything so you get the biggest speed boost possible That's why our SSD Hosting loads pages faster than our competition and why even we host our site on SSDs.

    Free SSL Certificate (HTTPS)

    A2 Hosting provides you with free and automated SSL Certificates for enhanced website security and protection. Your websites get a trusted HTTPS for an encrypted connection. Best of all, our SSL Certificates are setup automatically for your domains by default! It's a no click SSL Certificate configuration!

    Anycast DNS

    With our Anycast DNS solution, DNS records are duplicated across A2 Hosting's global network ultimately bringing them closer to your visitors. Anycast DNS increases performance when your site is visited by offering quicker response times, lowering latency and increasing redundancy.

    HTTP/2 & HTTP/3

    HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are major revisions to the HTTP network protocol and are included with all Turbo plans. HTTP/3 provides significantly faster page load times than HTTP because of its ability to deliver more HTTP requests at once and prioritize those requests. HTTP/3 delivers files 20%-30% faster than HTTP.

    Edge Side Includes (ESI)

    With ESI, you no longer have to designate an entire page as non-cacheable just because one portion cannot be cached. Instead you can easily designate portions of your page to be cached (or not cached) with ESI. This is significant especially for sites created by applications like Magento or WordPress.
