In a move that marks a significant milestone for one of the web hosting industry’s most recognized and respected names, A2 Hosting has officially rebranded as Hosting.com. This transformation isn’t just a cosmetic change — it’s a powerful leap into the future, backed by strategic vision, enhanced infrastructure, and global ambition.
The transition comes in the wake of A2 Hosting’s acquisition by World Host Group earlier this year and reflects a broader initiative to unify and modernize services under a globally resonant brand. With over two decades of technical innovation behind it, Hosting.com now positions itself to become the most trusted name in hosting worldwide.
As part of this change, a large-scale migration involving hundreds of thousands of services is currently underway. Core components like payment methods, user accounts, and service data have already been fully transferred. However, some transitional tasks — such as importing historical invoices and fixing auto-login issues for cPanel and WHM — are still being finalized. Hosting.com has been transparent with its customer base throughout the process, promising improved support response times, new dedicated phone lines, and even a VIP support team for larger clients.
Despite some early bumps during the migration, the company assures its users that the foundation of A2 Hosting remains firmly in place, enhanced by greater global reach, modern tools, and better performance.
From acquisition to evolution
Earlier in 2025, World Host Group — a fast-growing player in the hosting world — made headlines by acquiring A2 Hosting, following its previous acquisitions of LuxHosting and Nimbus. This marked the first major acquisition in the hosting sector this year, signaling a wave of expected consolidation in an industry poised to exceed $216 billion by the end of 2025.
With over 25 brands and more than 500,000 customers worldwide, World Host Group has built a powerful portfolio in less than five years. The acquisition of A2 Hosting was seen not only as an expansion but as an alignment of shared values — particularly around technical excellence and customer-focused service.
Why rebrand as Hosting.com?
According to Seb De Lemos, CEO of World Host Group, the decision to evolve A2 Hosting into Hosting.com reflects both vision and practicality.
“With Hosting.com, we’re not just preserving [A2 Hosting’s] strengths but amplifying them,” he said. “Our goal is to build the world’s most trusted hosting group.”
The new brand name brings greater global recognition, simplicity, and scalability — critical elements as Hosting.com sets its sights on international growth. It also comes with enhanced infrastructure, a more modern customer experience, and a unified global identity designed to serve businesses and developers across the world.
What customers can expect
While the name may have changed, Hosting.com is reassuring customers that the core services, support quality, and team remain the same. The rebrand brings several customer-facing benefits:
- Global recognition: a straightforward, memorable domain like hosting.com opens new doors in emerging and established markets alike.
- Modern tools: customers will enjoy an updated Turbo Hub dashboard, improved automation, and a more intuitive user interface.
- Stronger support: expanded support teams, improved response times, and VIP service channels are being rolled out to meet growing demand.
- Product continuity: existing customers can continue using their A2 Hosting plans with no disruption and have the option to migrate gradually.
