Your initial billing cycle is greatly discounted. Both by a promo discount (first term discount) and a duration discount (based on how long you select your billing cycle to be). This means that you can get the best discount for choosing long billing cycles, up to 3 years. It also means that the price will be about the double after your initial cycle.
Plan features
Dedicated IP address is $4/mo. Domain registration is $14.95/year, which is pretty expensive. Domain whois protection is $9.95/year, so I would suggest registering your domain name at another registrar. Check out our domain guide for tips. The AntiSpam is called Barracuda Spam Firewall and costs $3/mo for one domain. Backups start at $1.99/mo for 5 GB of storage. The 30 most recent backups are kept and that means you can have a month worth of backups if you select to backup daily. Another nice feature with this plan is that you can add CPU power and 1 GB of ram for only $3/mo.
Data center location
Choose between USA southwest (Arizona), USA northeast (Michigan), or EU (Amsterdam), Asia (Singapore).
Conclusion
This plan has only 0.5 GB RAM and 1 CPU core. I would suggest to check out the 2 slightly more expensive shared web hosting plans from A2 Hosting for much more resources and higher value offers.
Access to several data center around the globe is a plus, and so is the included free website builder app and the wide range of accepted payment options. I don't like that priority support is $20/mo - I would like to have fast support included in the price without paying extra. However, it is a great way to save a lot of money by not choosing it. On their order page, you will also find an option to add a dedicated IP address. It says that it is recommended for SSL Certificates, but that is really not the case anymore. It was only an issue with some old browsers.

Conclusion
Host unlimited websites and get more resources to accommodate more visitors to your sites then that of the cheaper A2 Hosting plan. This plan has a Turbo feature that not only supposedly makes your website faster but also making them consume less resources. I believe it is a little bit much to ask double the price than that of the A2 Swift plan. I am glad too see that this plan has HTTP/2 which is a great feature to speed up your site.

Initial discount
The A2 Hosting host has lots of different VPS plans available, including Linux, Windows, managed and unmanaged options. Currently, though, I will only add the managed Linux hosting to this website as that is by far the most popular option and makes it all easier to compare. If you go with an A2 Hosting managed VPS you can benefit from the huge coupon code discount on your initial period. The coupon codes are currently easily available on the VPS page on the A2 Hosting website. They should even apply automatically, but I found that it sometimes would need to be added manually when going back and forth a lot between the order pages.
