A2 Hosting vs Digital Ocean 2019

cheapest cloud server, only $ 5 / month, will include an SSD hard drive, which will make your cloud work at extremely high speeds.
 

2 exec whom I know. I purchased a triannual plan sight unseen for my client hosting.
There's a LOT of stuff that could be better. For starters, the WHM/CPanel setup does not allow for me to connect to my GDrive to back up the /home folder as my old ASO did. Also, I cannot quickly access PHPMyAdmin from the WHM level to get into multiple databases at once (good for importing data between accounts if there's a need).
I have my own set of custom nameservers set up that I cannot use for new accounts created because something is not configured correctly and it takes a couple of trips to the support ticket system to get the domain to point to the host. It's a major PITA when you've got several sites to build and want to get the domains resolving for things that depend upon the domain name, such as a WP install. Yes, "a couple of trips" because the "guru" who initially helps me ends up being the "trainee" and I have to make at least two trips for it to resolve correctly.
Many times I'm in the support chat and see "You are No. 1 in the queue" and then I get bumped back to No.3, then 2, then 1, then 2 again, etc. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature or a ploy by marketing to make me feel like "shoulda bought the "priority service package"...
I kinda wish I'd done more research before I so blindly trusted the word...of someone I trusted!
Probably gonna be moving again soon and getting a refund on the term I've not used so far.

ust have taken about 30 emails over the same amount of days! to try to pay via an alternative method (Paypal, other debit cards etc). I even asked if they could take payment over the phone. I was trying everything!!!
They politely kept replying saying I should try another payment method and that they weren't able to take payment over the phone! No real reason why not!!
Eventually, my website developer and I decided to use another company, Linode, who I am very happy with.
For a website company I felt they really should have a GOOD WEBSITE themselves, and to make it Ultra User Friendly - i.e payment methods THIS IS NOT THE CASE. USE THIS COMPANY AT YOUR PERIL :(((
