A2 Hosting, now operating as Hosting.com, built its brand on Turbo servers and that performance focus carries into its unmanaged Linux VPS range. You get root access, a choice of Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux or Rocky, NVMe SSD storage and a free choice of control panel, all backed by an anytime pro-rated money-back guarantee that is unusual in this industry. Their Perpetual Security stack adds dual firewalls, KernelCare patching and free HackScan monitoring, so even an unmanaged box starts from a hardened baseline. Data centres in Michigan, Arizona, Amsterdam and Singapore keep latency low, and the Guru Crew support team is available around the clock even on unmanaged plans.
