A2 Hosting protiv AltusHost B.V. 2020

er handling and care, regardless of Plan. You are talking to REAL HUMANS who are always polite and reply to your concerns with super personal touch!

to end user support.
We've moved to AltusHost from one popular NL hosting company, and support is simply non comparable.
Pricing isn't like with some other EU providers (wish it is :) ), but still we got really quality service, so I'm ok.

unately my income is not big enough to continue use it.
I had no problems with downtime on A2Hosting and thanks to them for this, but there are many cons which makes me nervous.
1.When I add domain, it starts to run AutoSSL and until it does not assign SSL to your domain you can't do nothing with it. but it may take up to 24-72 hours and from their opinion it is normal, fortunately in my cases it did not take more then 6 hours.
Another Problem is if you use gmail address for example for sending mails from your site it will send SPF error message to your mail and will not send email. I had same problem and asked for help via chat and Support guy told me that he fixed it but problem still existed and then after a while ago I again contacted support and now I was told that I need to add spf record for all domains separately by myself.
I am sure that after some time I will find some other stupid things on this hosting, but I need to get used to it until my service ends :(
When I told that it only takes few minutes on other hostings to assign ssl this is what I got as answer: "I cannot comment other hosting, it is like you ask Volkswagen why Mercedes have something different, yet they are both just cars."
But from my oppinion other hostings sell cars which only need keys in it and it will take you anywhere, while A2Hosting sell you just car parts and you need first to build a car and only after you will be able to drive, but nowone tells you this when you pay for it, you only find out it later.
I would understand this on Dedicated servers, but shared servers mostly are purchased by non-tech people for their blogs or small business and they need some ready to go solutions, but they are forced to learn Cpanel features to make everything work and this is terrible.

t day we noticed the following notification on our Altushost account dashboard:
Domain is pending transfer. Once we will receive payment for order it will be processed automatically - you will be notified about domain registration progress by email.
We immediately contacted Altushost to clarify the reason of our pending domain till they receive our payment, where we actually paid the full amount in the day before.
Anyway, Altushost confirmed our payment and we asked them to correct their notification to make it sound right when their customers actually paid them.
After that, we shared with them another error related to their customers dashboard and shared with them some pictures to show them exactly where's the error.
Immediately, someone named David join our online chat support:
we're leaving you now to have a look at what he wrote to us (From our memory of course as David deleted our chat and kicked us outside the chartroom) -
1. We don't accept clients like you to join us (Altushost).
2. You insulted our team.
3. You've been annoying during the last few days.
4. We're refunding the money you paid for your domain transfer.
Our professional opinion can be described through the following points-
1. Altushost team members are crying babies and not professionals at all.
2. Altuhost support they're team members against their customers even if it's the fault of their team members.
3. Altushost team members are not friendly to talk to at all, whenever you talk to them you'll have the feeling of they're willing to shout you and kick you if they have to.
4. Altushot doesn’t accept any customers criticism.
5. Altushost domain prices are above other company prices with clear reason why.
6. Finally, Altushost is definitely not the right choice for professionals.
