A Small Orange Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

The pricing per month for the standard shared hosting plan is good and comes with many features that allow us to manage our hosting account features on our own. We get more than ample server storage space and bandwidth. We can also add unlimited domains, which is awesome so we don't have to activate separate hosting accounts for each website with a unique domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not had any problems with our service at A Small Orange. We're not paying for the highest possible plan with the fastest page loading speeds out there, so we don't expect to get that even though plans like that are certainly available for purchase at other companies. In other words, we get good value for what we pay for, so we can't really dislike non-peak performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the usability of this hosting site. Customer service is easy to work with and has a timely response time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really, just wish we had discovered it sooner! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've received great customer service for billing questions and issues related to our website and domain. They even walked me through, step by step, fixing the website when I'd accidentally caused the site to become totally inaccessible. I felt I was getting a level of customer service that one usually pays extra for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They don't automatically include an SSL certificate, so unless you purchase that separately, your website will be less secure and perhaps downgraded by search engines. They now offer the option to purchase an SSL certificate through them, but it doesn't seem straightforward to getting it activated on your actual website. Perhaps their customer service will come in handy for this, but I find this to be a big inconvenience. For this reason, I plan to migrate my site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use is none other. The accessibility for new users and the fast and reliable hosting helps to ensure that your IT needs are consistently met. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the ease of use isn't so straight forward. The customer service can be difficult to get in contact with and the opportunity to create meetings to help other office personnel to understand the hosting service is not as reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the ease of use when downloading my scanned photos and png's or jpg's from Ai. It offers a sleek website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that the cost was a little lower, although it is cheaper than other sites - I have often wondered if just sharing a PDF as a link would work just the same? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used a lot of web hosts in the past, and I have always said that I can't tell you who is the best, but I can tell you which ones to avoid. A small orange (ASO) has bucked that trend. I actually actively suggest that people give them a try because I have always found there support to be extremely helpful (when needed -- which is infrequent), their portals to make sense and allow multiple different accounts to separate concerns between the multiple businesses I am involved in, and they price can't be beat. For simple hosting, they have small enough accounts that you don't over pay, and yet I have never had a significant downtime with their service, unlike many other providers I have used in the past. The enable SSH access with an authorized key, which really helps a Linux user like myself, and they have cPanel setup for those that don't need lower level access.

I wish they handled domain registrations better so I could use them for that as well and reduce my number of service providers. However, their control panel for advanced DNS usage is very lacking and I usually avoid them for domains. Luckily they have clear and easy instructions on how to point your DNS to their hosts so they work well with others. It would be nice if I could remove the need for the additional provider though!!

The web hosting capabilities are more professional than companies like Wix which is nice and they are partnered with web developing and designing software which is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that it is not as well known and established as companies like Wix despite being better in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used them for over 10 years and love the customer service, and cost effective prices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They lack an easy e-commerce platform for first time users, so that is the only site I would not host there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I liked about A Small Orange was how reliable its hosting was paired with amazing customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I didn't like about A Small Orange was how high the cost of servers were. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their prices are pretty nice, giving you some relatively good deals (especially on Black Friday/Cyber Monday when everything is like 75% off) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have some server/up-time problems and it seems their customer support has never quite recovered from the great crash of December 2015. Chat can take 30 minutes to get someone and it can take 3 days in between emails. It's gotten a little better though, so maybe it will continue to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
