This is a total fact, proof can be post here for everyone to see the truth how bad a2hosting is. People shall not be scammed by them any more!
After sending two emails to them asking why one website with less 10 visitors per day can cause their server I paid for overload, then I got this reply, the core meaning there is: either you stop asking, or pay more to upgrade to the VPS (at least $360 per year), otherwise they cancel the service.
No real solution, no "customer care", no technical support, even no a name that people can see who are responsible for the case, only one thing there: You need to pay more.
I am really doubting they first trick people by a low price to use their shared host, and later, after a little while, making the server already paid overload, so you have no other way but paying more to upgrade, of course, you must be doing those quietly, if you asking, they will shut you down.
There are two things from them, one is a livechat confirming the server overload is not the website problem but something else he didn't say clearly, another is an email from them, saying the website built totally on opencart is not optimization thus causing server overload, and must use their managed VPS which can be posted here also.
I must say, if opencart as a open source now is trying to get benefit through advertising this A2hosting which is scamming people, you can ignore this, but you will not go far.

I agree with Victorj - I would backup everything and get your money back. Or go with a host that will help you transfer everything from them like evolve (see my signature), then get your money back.

I am sorry to hear you have been experiencing issues with our hosting services. Having looked into this, it would seem your account was hitting the resource limits which we have implemented in order to protect other users on the server. These limitations were disclosed as a part of the Swift package you signed up for and so, this was not an issue of an overloaded server as you describe.
Prior to offering a VPS upgrade we offered to assist you in optimizing your OpenCart installation which we expect would have brought your resource usage down to acceptable levels. Unfortunately, you decided against our assistance.
As you did not want our assistance in optimizing your OpenCart installation we informed you, unless your installation is optimized, you will keep hitting the resource limits and so a VPS upgrade would be necessary.
Whilst we try to satisfy all of our clients, in certain cases this simply isn’t possible and unfortunately, we feel it would be best for everybody involved is we went separate ways. That being said, if you require any assistance in backing up your data and transferring to a new hosting provider please let us know as we would be more than willing to help you.
We wish you the best with your new hosting provider and thank you for trying A2 Hosting.

I know sites (opencart) on shared hosting, hitting a 1000 or more visitors, get about 12 to 15000 pageloads excluded the load from search engines, hosted on similar priced hosting, that never hit the limit off resources.
In fact my all of my sites are on a vps, and even with high traffic it never exceeds above 10% resources.
SO eitehr your resources are extreem limited, or that site is getting a huge visitor/search engine traffic

Our Swift package includes 1 GB memory, 2 x 2.1 GHz CPU cores and 8 GB virtual memory which is enough resources for a fairly busy OpenCart store. In fact, we have many clients pushing significant traffic across our shared packages including OpenCart users. In this case I can't comment on what Sabrina's traffic is/was though I do invite her to share those details. All things considered, it is safe to say the best option for Sabrina would have been to upgrade to a VPS server just like you have.

IF a company is focused on providing hosting for Opencart carts, and they advertise shared hosting for that hosting, they should know if it can be done under a normal OC installation. I have been on shared hosting for years and I have NEVER had my web host tell me I am maxing out my resources. So it makes me really interested to know how much traffic Sabrina has.
You say
does that mean you can't because of privacy concerns or you can't because you don't know how much traffic was processed going to her site?In this case I can't comment on what Sabrina's traffic is/was though I do invite her to share those details
Now I would love so much traffic that I would need a VPS, and I will be asking advice about that in another post, BUT just how much traffic do you have to have in order to require a VPS with Opencart???

As I'm sure you're aware, each situation is unique. It's not a matter of "X amount of visitors will then require you to get a VPS". It's a combination of the hosting plan, the traffic and the configuration of the website.
Everyone knows a poorly coded website can cause issues. Opencart out of the box is a great platform, but additions and customizations to it can cause load issues if not done properly.
If you'd like to have us give you some recommendations based on your unique needs, we'd be glad to help with that on another thread, PM or a ticket directly with my team!

Nope. Your reply reads, to me, like a political answer versus providing valid load-levels that can be handled for vanilla opencart version X, etc. so I am not interested.a2hosting wrote: If you'd like to have us give you some recommendations based on your unique needs, we'd be glad to help with that on another thread, PM or a ticket directly with my team!

How many products/cats are in the op's store? Could it be not his/her fault per-say? OC is pretty inefficient in various spots and surely you didnt repair them all unless you actually have your boots on the ground running a real store under load (i could be wrong). As 1 example, its quite trivial to (get) DOS (by good bots) on things like google feeds. Google merchant bot hits 3 times for a feed consistently, which could easily cap limit and/or hit entry process causing LVE server errors (500) causing warns/auto-suspends from CloudLinux. As you can see, there is no caching, and if you didnt add it, then that its your fault for advertising "optimized oc":
https://github.com/opencart/opencart/bl ... e_base.php
Here is an example of requests on a very small feed with optimized/custom module. The google_base feed is far less efficient, with far greater mem use and much longer render times. This can easily cause LVE warns:
So i can go to that feed, hit enter like 50 times, and get anyone suspended. Whos fault is that? Yours for advertising blazing fast, or his for simply running a store? That is just 1 example of quite a few.2016-08-01 3:00:41 @GoogleMerchant Example Store | Shopping Feed was generated via IP 74.125.75.99 [Googlebot] Memory: 18MB Time: 5.02 Sec

I had installed it late in the evening when traffic was low, next day my hosting rang me and informed me that my site was hitting the roof on sql resources wich it had not done before, so they raised resources to make sure my site would function.
they also investigated and told me that it started after uploading a file wich they found wich had a date from the time it started and it was hitting sql resources.
when i got home deleted file and everything was oke.
admired this company because they kept my site running, informed me about wich why how and provided a solution, still with them now on vps, but thats more a seo issue

In my past experience, I encountered several cases of very poor themes or extensions overwhelming Opencart with millions of dB queries without need (e. g. the famous Shoppica, using some recursive queries for categories to build its nice megamenu).
So, personally I strongly suggest to the user to provide to all of us more information, instead of simply complaints.

i was also thinking the same way that shared hosting is not suitable for ecommerce platform, as here we are expecting highter trafic than regular website.. then how these guys offering shared hosting to handle higher page hits , now i understand its trap to take our mony ...
I think OC need some tuning and experienced work for Server, Database, PHP, themes, modules etc... for a good level of e-commerce performance.
