A2 Hosting vs. SHPV France 2021

very clearly flawed (or nonexistent? They’re busy trying to take down my reviews rather than fix their problems) insofar as account recovery and their support staff, to my direct experience, is very susceptible to phishing. I will not return to or recommend A2 in the future. Very disappointing staff. This is in addition to receiving poor website hosting help in the past.

ng there and not helping at all.
This host was recommended to me as it had some features like sqlserv and pdo that rarely any webhost provides. I got a 1-year plan just so they would remove the key features I decided to host with them without any prior notice. When I confronted them about it, all I got was "Yeah, sorry. We do not do sqlserv and pdo anymore". No refund, no compensation.
As this is a joke of a hosting service, I transfered my domain over to namecheap to be done with them and let my remaining time run out. It was all well until they automatically charged me a renewal I did not want. I messaged them within the same day explaining my situation and that I do not wish to continue using their service and they simply closed my ticket with 15 minutes without replying to it.
I only got a reply after I sent another message to the closed ticket and all I got was they do not do refunds. Fair enough.
However, they also charged me for the domain that I had already transfered over to namecheap, so I do not exactly where that fee comes from. I paid the domain upfront the first year and I transfered and paid for an extension with the new register before it expired.
They won't refund me a charge for a service they do not provide and are ignoring my tickets.
Don't bother, you might as well find some local guy that hosts on machines in his basement and still get better customer support and value/money.
It is a disgrace they got a 2/10 for me for this review when they should have gotten 0/10.
