Overview
Hosting.com is the brand under which World Host Group combined its businesses with A2 Hosting, which it had acquired. A May 2025 post on the company’s blog quotes its COO describing ‘A2 Hosting now part of World Host Group and rebranded as hosting.com’, with the new brand launched in late April 2025.[21] The company’s homepage states that it has hosted more than 3 million websites and serves over 700,000 customers.[22] W3Techs counts Hosting.com Group at 0.6% of all websites in November 2026.[1]
Hosting.com sells shared hosting in three tiers. Starter covers 5 websites with 15 GB of NVMe storage, a free domain registration, daily backups, malware detection and removal, free managed migration and an AI website builder for WordPress; Pro covers 10 sites with 50 GB, staging and Node.js; Max covers 50 sites with 100 GB, 40 mailboxes, an SLA and priority support.[23] The plans also list an OpenAPI and MCP server for programmatic and AI-agent management. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies.[23]
The homepage advertised web hosting from US$1.49 per month during a Black Friday promotion, but individual plan prices were not displayed on the plans page during review.{R(22)} The rebrand means older reviews and documentation still refer to A2 Hosting, and the company’s VPS and dedicated ranges remain an important part of its offer.
