What happened to A Small Orange?
A Small Orange was a beloved independent host known for honest service. It was acquired by one of the big hosting conglomerates years ago, and today its website sends visitors to a customer login page; it no longer sells plans to new customers. If you were a fan of what it stood for, we think you’ll feel at home here.
The best deal is an honest one.
Honest prices that never jump at renewal, U.S. servers, and real people who pick up the thread. Try us for 30 days, risk-free.
