We have been very pleased about the positive experiences that our customers have had with Xen. Our Xen VPS platform provides our customers with an affordable and feature-filled alternative to dedicated hosting.

These control panels are perfect for webmasters looking to maximize the benefits experienced with Xen Hosting. We will even install them to your account for a nominal fee.

Q - Are there any other open source technology you leverage to manage, monitor, etc Xen?
Our Xen hosting servers are compatible with a huge range of open source applications. There are way too many to name, but some of the most used software applications that our customers use include Drupal, Elgg, Magento, Dolphin, Joomla and many more.
Q – How has open source Xen enabled your success?
A2 Hosting is always looking to support the very best in web development technology. Xen has allowed us to expand our product offering and to meet specific technical requirements for many of our customers. Not only do we offer multiple VPS plans, but our customers choose their virtualization platform, including Xen.

A2 Hosting has been happy to pledge hosting accounts to Xen administrators to further the voice of their community.
