Quickest Support!

I am a formmer systems administrator for another web hosting company and I am here to say that I have enjoyed my self at A Small Orange. Their support team is great.

Even though they don't have a way to call them or chat live (which if you aren't someone who is new to this and is a self learner...and you should be in this business....then you will not need phone support or live chat) they do answer all technical questions on there wiki and have a great forum comunity. But you don't need to worry because as I said before there E-Mail support is wicked fast.

Biggest Pro: Support Turnaround Time (not ticket responce time, they solve your issue not ask stupid questions)
Biggest Con: I don't really have one. Read my review.

A Small Orange but a Big host

I have been with asmallorange for over 3 years and have two accounts with them, asmallorange was the first the 1st international web host that I tried and I never had to look any further, they have been providing excellent service in all aspects. The support has been very helpful and responsive, whenever I have dropped any mail to help@asamllorange.com I have got a response within 30 minutes, they also helped my out of the way by manually moving a sub-domain from one account to other. Price is great as compared to the features the are offering , the plans are only limited in terms of bandwidth and disk space, all other features like ad-on domains, sql db’s etc are unlimited, they also give you shell access on their cheap shared hosting plans. Price of extra bandwidth and disk space is also very reasonable, I would strongly suggest aso as a solid and economical host.

Biggest Pro: shell access
Biggest Con: none

Great hosting

I have been with a small orange for a bit over a month now and I must say it has been great so far. I haven't experienced any downtime or any problems at all. The speeds have been very fast for me for both http and ftp. Furthermore, the prices are very cheap too and there are even coupons availible (search for them and you will probably find some) which make it even cheaper. By the way, I am currently on their shared hosting. They have several packages which in my opinion are all very cheap for what they offer. A Small Orange use cpanel and if your old host had cpanel they will transfer the files over for you too.

A Small Orange = A Big Win!

I first joined A Small Orange after hearing alot of good things on several forums. I took a look at there website and was impressed as it didn't appear to be a overly popular web host that let people slip through the gaps when it comes to support. I decided to give it a try and why not with prices so low! I must say i wasn't expecting to have to wait to get approval for my website which i wasn't to happy with as i was eager to get my blog online that day. 2 minutes later i received an email - yep my site account was activated within two minutes. Since then i have really had to contact support and when i had it was because of problems i was occurring with a 3rd party script which needed certain features to be activated which they gladly did for me.

Biggest Pro: Price!
Biggest Con: Can't think of one

A Small Orange (ASO) Review

I have had several websites hosted at A Small Orange (ASO). I decided to go because I had heard about their competitive rates and good customer service.

I have used Shared hosting only and haven't had any major problems with them. Their have had no major outages that have affected my websites. Obviously they have been down sometimes but it's nothing major and is an extreme rarity.

In terms of customer support, ASO resp honds fairly quickly and has always resolved any issue that I had. For example, I needed the main domain of my account switched several times and they quickly modified it.

Another time I inquired on a script that they no longer used (a CGI mail form script) and they were able to give me a copy. Customer support has been very smooth.

Even the one time I thought I wasn't accessing my Cpanel (when in fact is was the firewall that was blocking me from getting in).

I would recommend this host to anyone who wants to host a website on a shared server. My experience has been completely satisfactory and ASO offers great bang for the buck.

A Small Orange

I have used this host since January of 2006. It has been nearly 2 years and I have enjoyed this greatly. The price isn't that much and uptime, speed, and server has been great. Throughout the time that I have had this site, I cannot remember a time when the site was down. Only time was about 1-2 days for server upgrades. I use this host for my Counter-Strike gaming clan. My clan as well as I have loved the site. We use vBulletin for the forums and have been a great way to keep in touch with one another. I recommend this host to anyone who is looking for a reliable host for personal or public use.

A Small Orange has a funny name but great hosting

I switched over to A Small Orange a while back because my previous host had decided to systematically change all the permissions on my cache folders so that they were not writable by my scripts, thus breaking my site. I was a little put off by A Small Orange's pricing but I figured you get what you pay for and I am willing to pay for great service and timely support.

Every time I have had a request they have taken care of me as if they value me as a customer (gasp!). It is because of this that I will stay with them for the foreseeable future. In fact, I like them so much I actually have paid for a year in advance. I am comfortable with them and I am reasonably sure that they won't take advantage of my trust.

Biggest Pro: Ruby on Rails
Biggest Con: No SSH unless you ask.
