hosting.com (formerly A2 Hosting) Reseller Hosting Review: What the Classic cPanel/WHM Program Offers, and Why This Page Can't Show You a Price

hosting.com (formerly A2 Hosting) sells four tiers of classic cPanel/WHM reseller hosting: Reseller 30, 60, 120, and 150, named for how many client cPanel accounts each tier allows. Two independent capture attempts against the live pricing table in 2026, including one run with a real Chrome browser session specifically to rule out a bot-detection block, both found every price cell on the plan comparison table rendering as a bare "Buy" button with no dollar figure attached to any tier, on any of the four plans. That is a confirmed, twice-reproduced client-side rendering defect on hosting.com's own page: not a paywall, not a bot fingerprint block, and not something this review can work around by citing a number from anywhere else.

The Short Answer

hosting.com's Reseller 30/60/120/150 program is a full-featured, classic cPanel/WHM reseller platform: unlimited bandwidth, daily backups, free SSL, private nameservers, and a stack (LiteSpeed, CloudLinux, Softaculous, Monarx) that matches what hosting.com runs on its own retail accounts. WHMCS, Blesta, and Upmind billing integrations are built in via a documented API, which matters more for agencies than for solo resellers since it is what lets a team automate provisioning instead of creating each client account by hand. The catch is pricing: hosting.com does not disclose a dollar figure for any of the four tiers on its own reseller page, in either of two independent capture attempts. Buyers who need a firm number before evaluating a reseller program will have to get it directly from hosting.com's sales team or checkout flow, not from this page or any third-party estimate.

Full Tier Spec Table: Reseller 30 / 60 / 120 / 150

hosting.com's reseller page frames the four tiers as scaling in three dimensions: number of client cPanel accounts, disk space, and LVE (Lightweight Virtual Environment) resource limits. Every tier includes daily backups and the same underlying platform stack: the differences below are the only things that change tier to tier.

Every tier also ships free SSL certificates and instant setup, and hosting.com's own copy frames the model as "no hidden upgrades, no broken promises": plans scale in accounts, disk, and LVE limits, and switching tiers later is described as "a soft change" on hosting.com's side rather than a migration.

One internal inconsistency worth flagging for buyers who read hosting.com's own FAQ section on the same page: it states account counts range "from 15 on our entry plan up to 300 on our largest," which does not match the 30/60/120/150 figures in the structured tier table above. Both numbers are verbatim on the same live page. This looks like FAQ copy that was not updated when the tiers were last renamed or resized, but hosting.com has not resolved the discrepancy publicly, so treat the tier table above, not the FAQ prose, as the current structure.

cPanel, WHM, and Billing Automation: WHMCS, Blesta, Upmind

Every Reseller tier includes full cPanel and WHM access with, per hosting.com's own copy, "no restrictions." WHM sits above the individual client cPanel accounts and is what lets a reseller create, suspend, terminate, or upgrade client accounts without touching a server directly.

For agencies specifically, the more relevant feature is billing automation: hosting.com's reseller program integrates with WHMCS, Blesta, and Upmind "out of the box" through a documented API, which it says can automate "account creation, invoicing, and client management without touching it manually." For an agency running more than a handful of client sites, that API is what turns a reseller account into an actual business system rather than a spreadsheet of logins, and hosting.com also states the API is "fully documented and ready to go" for anyone building a custom integration on top of it instead of using one of the three named billing platforms.

White-Label: Private Nameservers and Brand-Forward Design

hosting.com markets the Reseller line as "fully white-label and brandable." The two concrete features behind that claim are private nameservers (so a reseller's DNS shows their own brand, not hosting.com's) and what hosting.com calls a "brand-forward experience so your customers see your business, not ours." hosting.com frames the underlying pitch directly: "You sell it. We run it," on a platform it says powers 700,000 cPanel accounts.

Package-level white-labeling extends into WHM itself: resellers can create custom hosting packages with their own resource limits, set feature lists to control what each client can access, and delegate panel access so a reseller's own team can manage client accounts without sharing the reseller's main login, relevant for any agency where more than one person needs day-to-day account access.

The Platform Stack: LiteSpeed, CloudLinux, Softaculous, Monarx

hosting.com states every cPanel account on every reseller tier runs the same stack, regardless of which of the four plans a reseller buys:

• LiteSpeed Web Server: a paid, full LiteSpeed license on every plan, which hosting.com says serves sites faster than Apache and pairs with LSCache for WordPress-specific load-time improvements.
• CloudLinux: isolates each cPanel account to its own user so one client's account cannot affect another's performance or security, a meaningful protection on a shared reseller server.
• Softaculous: a one-click auto-installer for 400+ applications (WordPress, Joomla, Magento, Laravel, and others named specifically).
• Monarx: described as "always-on, proactive protection" that scans file changes in real time (uploads, plugin changes, edits) rather than waiting for a client to notice an infection.

The stack also includes MariaDB, multi-version PHP (switchable per site, so different client sites can run different PHP versions), Node.js and Laravel support for non-PHP client apps, and Anycast DNS. hosting.com also states it runs exclusively on AMD EPYC processors with NVMe SSD storage, and separately claims accounts get "up to 50x the performance of some competitors." That comparative figure names no competitor and no test methodology, so treat it as a marketing claim rather than a benchmarked spec.

Migration Support

hosting.com describes reseller migrations as handled by an in-house team rather than a self-serve tool: "All new reseller accounts include free migrations, handled by our in-house team; this isn't a self-serve tool and you're not left to figure it out alone." Its stated process covers both individual account moves and large-scale reseller transfers: hosting.com says a reseller can either hand over cPanel/WHM backups or grant direct access, and its migrations team plans the transfer to minimize disruption before handing back a ready signal so the reseller can cut DNS over at the right time. Separately, hosting.com's homepage cites 100,000 migrations completed, from "small blogs to complex enterprise sites."

Guarantee and Support

Every Reseller plan includes a 30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee alongside the free migrations and an uptime SLA, per hosting.com's own reseller-page copy. Support is positioned as 24/7/365 and in-house: hosting.com's pitch is explicitly aimed at emergency scenarios ("when something goes wrong at 2am, you want to reach someone who can fix it, not someone reading from a script"), though the reseller page capture does not specify a support channel (chat vs. phone vs. ticket) or an average response time for the reseller line specifically. Buyers who need a firm response-time number should confirm it directly with hosting.com rather than assume it matches the general 24/7/365 claim.

Security on every tier includes SSL certificates, DDoS protection, and firewalls built into the base infrastructure, with cPanel/WHM providing the tools a reseller uses to manage each client account's security individually.

The Rebrand: Why It Says "hosting.com (formerly A2 Hosting)"

hosting.com is the current name for what used to operate as A2 Hosting. The clearest on-page evidence of the rebrand is a customer testimonial published directly on hosting.com's own reseller page, attributed to a reseller named John Cubbin:

"This is my second Reseller program, along with maintaining a few individual sites for friends, and I'm again glad I've gone with hosting.com (formerly A2). I've had a few hiccups on my end but the important thing, your people have been incredibly helpful. Timely and helpful communication. Issues can always pop-up of course, but it's how well people work to resolve them that matters to me."

That "(formerly A2)" framing appears in hosting.com's own marketing copy, not an outside source: the brand is confirming its own rebrand history to its own customers. Buyers who remember A2 Hosting's reseller program by name should read this as the same underlying company and program, now operating under the hosting.com name.

hosting.com's reseller page also states it has 17,000+ trusted resellers worldwide and powers 700,000 cPanel accounts. Both figures are consistent across the capture used for this review.

Who Should Buy This (and Who Shouldn't)

• Buy if: you want a classic cPanel/WHM reseller setup with WHMCS/Blesta/Upmind billing automation already built in, you can tolerate not knowing the exact monthly cost until you talk to sales or reach checkout, and you value a 30-day money-back guarantee as a hedge against that pricing uncertainty.
• Buy if: you are consolidating multiple client cPanel accounts under one white-labeled WHM login and need private nameservers plus package-level control over what each client can access.
• Skip if: you need to compare hosting.com's reseller cost against competitors' published prices before you can build a client-facing quote: there is nothing on hosting.com's own page to compare against today.
• Skip if: a guaranteed support response-time commitment (not just "24/7/365") is a hard requirement for your agency's own client SLAs. Get that number in writing from hosting.com directly before signing.

Verdict

On features, hosting.com's Reseller 30/60/120/150 program is a complete classic cPanel/WHM reseller platform: full WHM access, WHMCS/Blesta/Upmind billing automation, private-nameserver white-labeling, a LiteSpeed/CloudLinux/Softaculous/Monarx stack on every account, free migrations, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. On price transparency, it is currently the weakest of the reseller and agency-hosting programs HostingDive has reviewed in this category, not because the price is high or low, but because it isn't published anywhere on hosting.com's own reseller page, confirmed across two separate capture attempts. Buyers who can live with getting a quote directly from hosting.com before committing get a full-featured reseller stack; buyers who need to shop by published price first will need to look elsewhere or contact hosting.com's sales team directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't this review list hosting.com's reseller prices?

Because hosting.com's own reseller page does not show them. Two separate capture attempts (one a standard capture, one using a real Chrome browser session specifically to rule out a bot-detection block) both found every price cell on the Reseller 30/60/120/150 comparison table rendering as a bare "Buy" button with no dollar figure attached. This is a confirmed defect on hosting.com's own page, not a limitation of this review.

Is "A2 Hosting" still the correct name for this program?

No. The program now operates under the hosting.com brand. hosting.com's own reseller page carries a customer testimonial that reads "I'm again glad I've gone with hosting.com (formerly A2)," confirming the rebrand in the company's own marketing copy.

How many client accounts does each Reseller tier support?

30, 60, 120, and 150 client cPanel accounts on the Reseller 30, 60, 120, and 150 tiers respectively, per the structured tier table on hosting.com's reseller page. (Note: a separate FAQ section on the same page states a "15 to 300" account range, which does not match this tier table; treat the structured table as current.)

Does hosting.com's reseller program integrate with billing software?

Yes: WHMCS, Blesta, and Upmind all integrate via hosting.com's documented API "out of the box," per hosting.com's own copy, for automating account creation, invoicing, and client management.

What happens if I want to cancel a hosting.com reseller plan?

Every Reseller plan includes a 30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee, per hosting.com's reseller-page copy.
