[Solved] A2 Hosting Card Decline | Buy A2 Hosting in India with UPI or Rupay Card

If your card keeps getting declined on the A2 Hosting website, this page explains why it happens and how to get around it.

A2 Hosting Card Decline Problem in India

A2 Hosting is well known for its optimized server performance in the industry. But they recently shut down payments on their Indian website, which used to accept every Indian payment gateway and method. I asked their support team why, and they told me it was the higher tax they would have to pay Indian payment gateways to keep operating.

Update: A2 Hosting is now Hosting.com. I cover the current plans, prices and renewals in my Hosting.com review.

Hosting is a price war, so they could not raise prices to cover an extra 18% tax. Instead, they now redirect every Indian A2 Hosting customer from a2hosting.in to a2hosting.com during checkout.

So if you want A2 Hosting in India, you have to buy it on the global site, A2Hosting.com, which does not take Indian payment methods like UPI, RuPay cards or wallets.

First Solution for Payment Decline on A2 Hosting in India

A2 only removed the Indian payment gateways. It did not shut its hosting service for India, unlike SiteGround, which switched off its services here completely. So you can still order if you have the right card. These are the payment methods A2Hosting.com currently accepts.

1. Visa International Card
2. Master International Card
3. American Express Card
4. Discover Card

Indian banks do not usually hand out cards with international transactions switched on, so you may need to visit your branch and ask for one. Tell them you need to pay in USD so they enable cross border transactions on your card.
