It seems tad high to me. I run my personal site on BlueHost, however I can't remember what I paid last as it's been a while.
We pay ASO annually and get that cheaper, as well.

What should the pricing be?
Any of those options useful?HArd to say but ASO starts at under $60 a year. Next place up is only $120 a year.
Static IP is nice to have... it's free with ASO, though.
We get basic CloudFlare for free, too. CF is just... free on its own.
Everyone gets basic CloudFlare for free. A2 integrates it into CPanel which is kind of nice, but A2 has some other features worth mentioning. The performance plus is nice if you ever go through a spike, and the if you want CloudFlare Pro, it is much cheaper through A2 through CloudFlare. It is $20 a month with cloudflare and about $10 through A2.

Maybe we should merge all these threads into one.
I'm still on the fence about ASO, since the community (sans SAM (say THAT 5 times)) doesn't seem too high on them.

Settle this with a speedtest @BRRABill
Don't you have both?

Yes, but they both aren't set up the same.
Unless you are proposing a different speed test?

I can give you a domain on my A2 account so you can clone the site. I have some spare domains.

The website is actually set up on A2 already.
Let me clone it to ASO when I have some time today.

How do you like the A2 optimization plugin?
Seems fine. I didn't go with any of the paid options, and was using a lot of that stuff already.
The site seems fine speed wise to me. It you to take forever on [redacted].

Did you optimize your DB, use image compression, caching, and etc?

You can actually use this plugin on ASO, too. It handles all the performance enhancement aspects for you.

Yes, I am using that plugin, and all optimizations.
I was very happy with A2 except for their pricing. Maybe I'll try to negotiate with them a bit.
Also, they keep writing to me in Italian! Are they from Italy?

Not sure, but I agree that their support isn't the best. The tier 1 guys seem basically useless at handling minimal tasks. However I have opened a couple higher level tickets and they were taken care of right away.

I have found A2 to be just as fast as ManageEngine. I haven't tested ASO though.

Finally worked out a deal with A2.
Going to stay with them.

Yeah, it was!
Well, just a lot of e-mails back and forth.

Good deal.
What did you end up with, the Turbo package? -

Good deal.
What did you end up with, the Turbo package?No, just the regular hosting. The SWIFT package.
