Hosting.com is a web hosting provider formed through the consolidation of several hosting brands under the World Host Group umbrella. The company traces its origins to A2 Hosting, which was founded in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and has been operating since 2003. Over the years, World Host Group assembled a portfolio of acquired companies, including A2 Hosting and several others, before unifying the platform under the hosting.com brand. The company is operated under a parent entity in Luxembourg and has offices across multiple cities worldwide, including London, Bangalore, Manila, and Sofia.
The provider's service lineup spans shared hosting, WordPress hosting, VPS hosting in managed and unmanaged variants, dedicated servers, reseller hosting, and AI application hosting. Shared hosting plans use the cPanel control panel and LiteSpeed web server, with support for Node.js and Python alongside PHP. Managed VPS plans run on CloudLinux with cPanel, while unmanaged plans provide root access and a choice of Linux distributions. Dedicated servers are fully managed.
WordPress hosting is built around Cloudflare Enterprise for CDN and WAF functionality, with dual firewall protection through Cloudflare and Imunify360. WordPress plans include the WP Rocket performance optimization plugin and, on select tiers, Object Cache Pro. The AI application hosting service uses Cloudflare Enterprise across a global edge network and supports deployment of applications written in Node.js, Python, PHP, and Rust through the Nova application builder, with integrations for tools such as Cursor, Windsurf, and Git-based workflows.
Beyond hosting, the company offers domain registration and transfer services, SSL certificates, email hosting, and a website builder. The platform supports installation of a wide range of applications across hosting products. All hosting plans include free SSL certificates, DDoS protection, and malware scanning, and the company provides free site migration handled by its in-house team.
Hosting.com operates data centers across multiple global locations and commits to 99.9% uptime on its shared hosting and VDS products, with a 99.99% uptime commitment for managed VPS and AI application hosting. Technical support is provided 24/7/365 by an in-house team available via live chat and support tickets. The company offers a money-back guarantee across its plans.
