Dear BBB,I am filing a complaint against A2 Hosting regarding their misleading refund policy and poor business practices.On june the 27th, I purchased a dedicated server for approximately $6,000 USD from A2 Hosting. Their website clearly stated a 30-day money-back guarantee. However, when I requested a cancellation and refund well within that period, the company refused to honor their own policy, providing excuses that had no legal or contractual basis.This forced me into a four-month-long dispute process with my bank and REMOVEDto recover the funds a process that caused unnecessary stress, time loss, and financial inconvenience, all due to the companys misrepresentation and lack of transparency during checkout.Although I eventually received a refund through my bank, A2 Hostings behavior constitutes deceptive business conduct and a breach of consumer trust. I am therefore requesting a 15% compensation ($900 USD) to cover the time and expenses caused by their unjustified refusal to issue a prompt refund.Sincerely,Initial Complaint

We were loyal customers of REMOVEDfor many years with minimal issues. Their service was reliable and consistentuntil Hosting.com took over.Since that transition, our clients websites have suffered repeated, prolonged outages, severely damaging our business and reputation. We prepaid for multiple years under A2Hostings high standards, yet Hosting.com refuses to issue a refund despite delivering subpar, unreliable service that has directly resulted in lost revenue and client departures.Their support team offers little more than vague excuses and canned responses, showing zero accountability or urgency to resolve the ongoing issues. If you're considering Hosting.com for your business, think again. This isnt just a case of poor serviceits a case of being completely disregarded as a customer after trusting them with mission-critical infrastructure.Our experience has been costly and frustrating, and we strongly urge others to steer clear of Hosting.com before your business suffers the same fate.Business Response

Hi REMOVED,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing the clients concerns. We have carefully reviewed the clients open support ticket and the history of communication regarding this matter.
We understand that this recent experience did not meet your expectations, and we acknowledge the frustration it has caused. Our intention from the start has been to work with you toward a resolution, and we have explored multiple paths to address your needs.To date, we have:
- Worked with you directly through the support ticket to better understand the challenges you are facing.-Offered several resolution options, including a partial refund, additional time on your current contract, moving your services
- We have also explored the option of applying a pro-rata credit toward a new, more robust service with greater control over your hosting environment. This upgrade option was structured so that no upfront payment would be required, as the credit from your existing plan would be applied in full.
We believe these options demonstrate our commitment to acting fairly and reasonably, ensuring that you had practical choices to help restore service stability and confidence.
We are also committed to continuously improving the technology we use to deliver services and aim to keep all clients up to date via our public status page, so that you always have access to timely and accurate service information.
While we regret that this experience fell short of your expectations, we want to reassure you that our team remains available should you wish to proceed with any of the solutions offered. We are committed to making the transition as smooth as possible and to helping you get the best from your hosting services.
Thank you again for bringing your concerns to our attention, we genuinely appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to work toward a positive outcome.
Kind regards,
REMOVED

This company took over my domain hosting from A2 Hosting and it has been over 2 weeks that I have been asking to be able to access my domain name servers so that I can make adjustments. They keep telling me they can make changes while they are transferring and that it will only be a few more hours until it is done. This is going on 10 days now. When i make changes to my sever settings, I need to have access. If something isn't right or I need to change it quickly, I can. If I go through support it can take them hours. This is NOT the service that I paid for. All of my previous invoices for A2 Hosting were deleted, so I have to go see how much I pay per year in my email. I think about $120? Regardless, I can't get to any of the controls. My website name servers, my ability to connect to REMOVED, my ability to verify that I own the domain are all unavailable to me. I want that back right now!Business Response

It was our goal with the change to hosting.com to keep our clients as up to date as possible with our status page available at: REMOVED
Because of the change, there were some slight changes to how some clients manage their DNS when they are not already connected to a hosting service.
We are always here to support and make updates to DNS records on behalf of our clients if they are not able to.
For more urgent updates, clients can call or live-chat with us but for less urgent updates, can raise a support ticket from within their portal.
With the new experience, clients are able to add DNS records even easier.
As part of the previous support ticket, we offered alternative services as we know how important it is for you to manage your DNS quickly and easily.
If there are any followup questions, we would be more than happy to answer them.
I have checked and there are not outstanding support inquiries with REMOVEDB and the domains have been transferred away to a different provider.
