A2 Hosting, long known for its developer-friendly features and performance-focused hosting, has officially rebranded as Hosting.com. According to a press release issued on May 7, 2025, the move signals the company’s intent to evolve beyond its technical roots and appeal to a broader, trust-driven customer base.
Why the Change?
A2 Hosting has built its reputation since 2001 by catering to technically-savvy users who valued speed and reliability. A2 Hosting got its name from Ann Arbor, Michigan, the city where it was founded — hence “A2” as a shorthand nod to its hometown roots. With the new brand, Hosting.com aims to emphasize simplicity, clarity, and trust. The rebranding is also seen as a step to unify the company’s offerings under a more universally recognized and authoritative domain name.
This is more than a name change — it’s about aligning our mission with what customers want most: a reliable, straightforward hosting provider they can count on.
— Bryan Muthig, Founder and CEO of Hosting.com.
What Will Stay the Same?
Despite the brand transformation, the company assures current customers that there will be no changes to existing services, products, or support. All the hosting plans, infrastructure, and performance that A2 was known for — like Turbo Servers and developer tools — will remain intact under the new Hosting.com banner.
“Our customers will continue to receive the same high-speed performance and customer-first service, just with a new look and a broader mission,” said Muthig.
What’s Next?
The company’s vision under Hosting.com is to become “the most trusted brand in hosting”. That means expanding its market presence, focusing more on businesses and agencies, and simplifying the onboarding process for users less familiar with web infrastructure.
Industry observers are keeping a close eye on how Hosting.com will differentiate itself in a crowded market where brand trust and name recognition are major competitive advantages.
HostScore’s Take
This is a bold move — and a smart one. The domain Hosting.com gives the company a strong semantic and branding edge, especially among new users who associate trust with simplicity. As long as Hosting.com retains the performance strengths A2 Hosting is known for, this could be a winning rebrand that positions them well for long-term growth.
