A Small Orange offers a wide range of services with their web hosting plans. The company has plans for shared, dedicated, cloud-VPS, website builder, and reseller web hosting, as well as WordPress integration. Its plans don't include unlimited storage or bandwidth, but this is because company policy discourages from using said terminology as it can be misleading to consumers. A handy questionnaire helps users find exactly the kind of plan they need based on their web hosting needs, be it for a personal blog, online art portfolio, or business website.

A Small Orange checked off on all the security features we considered, and has password protected directories for additional safety. It's also working on improving its network edge DDoS mitigation software. Although in theory, this means the company has an extensive security ecosystem, customers actually have to sign up for a SiteLock plan (prices ranging from $20 to $200 per year) to benefit from many of these security measures.

A Small Orange's shared hosting plans come in tiny, small, medium, and large varieties. None of them are advertised as having introductory prices. A disclaimer warning that said prices only apply to the first term could make matters confusing for consumers though. Plan terms range from one to 36 months, and all its plans renew after said term has expired unless canceled beforehand. The company's small, regular, and large plans all provide discounts if customers decide to pay for terms longer than one month. Moreover, customers have a 90-day guarantee on all its shared, business, reseller, and VPS plans.

A Small Orange is not accredited with the BBB, has a B- rating on their page, and has received 12 negative reviews there, although more recent ones have been answered by the company. On Trustpilot, its score is a poor 3.5, but that is the result of only 9 reviews, 78% of which have been bad. Moreover, contacting A Small Orange without previously having purchased one of its plans proved difficult. The company Contact Us page didn't actually host any information, instead asking for log-in information that a potential consumer would not have.
