Is anyone on both Cloudways & A2 and can comment as to why one might pick one over the other?

I have tried quite a few hosts. A2 has been the best. The speed is great and service is good as well. One of the big advantages for me is the optimized wordpress install they offer.
Their install automatically sets up caching, CSS minimization, HTML minimization, database optimaztion, image compression (lossless), some other features. It also setups security on your site and renames wp-admin to something random, locks editing files (you can always unlock, etc).
You can turn any one feature off at anytime and it's a great time saver vs doing all those things manually.
That's with their top plan that included Turbo, I presume?
You dont even have to have A2 hosting to take advantage of that. Their are 13 speed enhancements available with their plugin. If you dont have A2 hosting you can use 11 enhancements the other 2 are built in to A2 hosting. All their plans offer the Optimized site.
I've been pretty happy thus far with A2.
I am trying them and ASO.
One thing I like is they assign a name to your temp domain, so it's accessible.
So far, how is the comparison between A2 and ASO?

A2 has been fine but apparently I signed up "wrong" initially and they won't adjust my price moving forward. So I'll probably be going back to ASO.

ML should make their own hosting site and call it ABO... or ABM... (A Big Orange, or A Big Mango), ha ha. I'll see myself out.

Without causing debate...I've used GoDaddy for many wordpress hosting sites and never had a problem! Just saying!

ABM is WAY WAY too close to people saying "A Bowel Movement"

Why risk losing a customer?

Can anyone comment on using A2 vs. Cloudways/DO/Vultr ?

Their lack of understanding this concept is exactly why i am moving.

I am currently using inmotionhosting for my personal wordpress site. For awhile, they were "upgrading" services what seemed every other week, which caused some downtime.
Our company was also using inmotionhosting.com for our wordpress-based websites and we went from VPS to dedicated server for 4 brand's sites over a matter of a few months and after about 2 years it just got to be a pain trying to get enough resources, so we switched to AWS a couple months ago.

@wrx7m where have you been? Haven't seen you in a few months!
-
@scottalanmiller Nice to be missed! I have been quite busy with some projects and finally had some time to checkout what's happening. I just barely missed mangocon but did get a kick out of the related threads.
I was itching for another project, in addition to getting my email offsite. Then all of a sudden, MS delivers me another audit notice-Almost 2 years to the day. It is just as convoluted as ever! SMH.
-
@wrx7m That sucks... both about the audit and about missing MangoCon. It was a blast. Just about to head down to the final dinner and concert. Going out drinking later!
-
@scottalanmiller Nice- Have a few for me!

I always did it DIY for the experience of setting up everything and then tweaking mysql etc. If you weren't looking to do that, then one of the ones mentioned would be a great alternative..

Now that the MangoCon dust has settled, let me ask again?
