Frequently Asked Questions

A2's Turbo hosting is already fast — why switch?

A2 Turbo uses LiteSpeed server and caching to speed up WordPress. That's great for PHP. But a pre-built static site served from the CDN edge is fundamentally faster — there's no PHP to optimize.

Will I lose the "anytime money-back guarantee"?

A2's money-back guarantee is prorated after 30 days. Check your remaining balance before canceling. Modern platforms are month-to-month with no commitment.

I use A2 for email too — what do I do?

Migrate email to Google Workspace ($6/month) or Zoho Mail (free for 5 users) before canceling A2. Both offer better deliverability and spam filtering.
