Pricing & terms
A2 advertises promotional first-term pricing that steps up at renewal, which is normal for the market but worth reading closely. Nxeon's displayed price is what checkout charges.
Performance & specs
A2 offers its own Singapore and European options that can match our latency, plus regions we don't reach.
Both offer NVMe-class storage on their higher tiers — real-world speed depends more on the plan than the brand.
A2's dedicated IP is usually a paid add-on on shared hosting; ours ships with every plan, no tier gate.
Management & support
Full root comes standard here regardless of plan size; on A2 it's reserved for their VPS/dedicated tiers.
Backups, snapshots and resize come with every Nxeon plan rather than being assembled from A2's optional add-ons.
Both offer a free migration path — A2's is plan-dependent and often manual; ours is automated and read-only on every plan.
Platform & ecosystem
Game servers are a headline use case here with one-click templates; on A2 you'd configure everything yourself on a plain VPS.
Both let you register a domain next to your hosting — a convenience feature on either side, not a specialty for either.
Why the move sticks
Backups and resize aren't add-ons
Daily backups, instant snapshots and one-click resize ship with every plan — no separate add-on menu to assemble.
Switching is free and automated
Our one-click migration scans your A2 server read-only and brings your stack up on Nxeon at the same paths — no DB passwords needed.

Common questions
Straight answers, including the ones that favor A2 Hosting.
Is Nxeon a good A2 Hosting alternative?
A2 Hosting is known for speed-tuned shared and WordPress hosting, with VPS options and data centres including Singapore. Nxeon is a focused, single-tenant developer VPS: full root on NVMe/ZFS, first-class game servers, domains in-dashboard and free one-click migration, deployed from Singapore or Falkenstein, Germany. If you want your own box with managed conveniences rather than a shared environment, Nxeon is a strong alternative.
Do both have an Asia-Pacific location?
Yes — A2 Hosting offers a Singapore data-centre choice, and Nxeon runs a real Singapore node too (plus a second real region in Falkenstein, Germany). Both can serve APAC users with low latency; the difference is the product around it, not just the location.
Can I run WordPress or apps on Nxeon?
Yes. WordPress and other stacks are available as one-click apps, and you get full root to tune the server yourself on NVMe/ZFS storage. A2 manages the shared/WordPress environment for you; Nxeon gives you the whole box.
What does Nxeon cost?
Simple all-in monthly plans with a dedicated IPv4 included and no credit card required to sign up. The price you see is the price checkout charges — no renewal step-up.
