Unlike many other competitors, A Small Orange puts direct limitations on its customers, not allowing websites weighing higher than 30gb on a single shared server. However this is logical as a website that heavy must have ~15000 pages even if it receives moderate traffic its server and MySql resources consumption must be high which can cause interruptions for other websites stored in the same server. This also means that unlike other web hosts you won’t experience any website crashes due to sudden heavy traffic.
A small orange not only comes with a 45 day money back guarantee, but you can also cancel anytime and get the balance amount refunded if you choose a yearly plan and decide to shift to a VPS after 6 months.
Six things I love about a small orange
Support: A Small Orange offers excellent and responsive ticket support and 24*7 live chat assistance in case you mess something.Uptime: ASO has excellent uptime, and according to my experience I've hosted my 8 blogs on it.. and didn't face a downtime still now
Variety: There are many plans to choose from, meaning that you don’t need to spend extra for resources you don’t need.
SSD memory: ASO’s shared hosting uses raided SSD disks which are at least 14 times faster than its mechanical counter-parts, giving you and your website visitors the fastest possible response times even in the most demanding scenarios. This also means that your website load speed will be faster and so will be your visitor’s experience.
No long term commitment: Every plan (Except the first) can be paid on a per month basis, thus can help small business bootstrapping for their budget.
Black Friday deals: Almost every year during the black Friday and Cyber Monday period, A Small Orange offers steep discounts upto 75% off its shared hosting. This is a good time to save some cash and get quality hosting.
A Small orange also commits itself to eco-friendly green hosting which is good in the long run and is also awarded a 3Degrees Certification for its dedication.
Cons:
No sitebuilder: Although this might not mean much for people, many of them unfamiliar to wordpress or other CMS and with a low budget cannot make sites of their own.Email sending limitations: Every shared server can send only 300 emails per hour, which might be a hinderance to some. But this is still more than what competitors offer.
Our Final Review: If you are a blogger or some Small Business looking for affordable and quality hosting, your search might stop at ASO. We migrated all our websites to ASO and saw a noticeable improvement in their load time and performance. Their ticket support never betrayed me. If you are not with A Small Orange you should seriously consider trying them. You can always opt for their monthly offering and we would be glad to hear your comments about your experience with them below.
