Did you do a speed test between ASO and A2?

No. Though to my eye they seemed similar.
Just a basic generic WP site.

What was "wrong" about your signup?
I guess I signed up for a month-to-month?
So, the only way to get the advertised price is to sign up for a two year commitment and use their coupon, which is only available on first signup.
Net net, it's $12.99 for basic hosting which I think is pricey.
ASO is $5 monthly or $4.17 if you do a year commitment.

Forgive the necropost here, but I didn't see anyone mention just using Wordpress.com. Is the main reason for spinning up your own Wordpress instance with hosting provider XYZ just more for security than anything? Or are there other reasons I'm missing (I saw mention of certain types of optimizations with A2, for example)?

Some of the nicer (paid) plugins do not work there due to extra permissions or something.

Their site says "managed" Wordpress. Does that mean they actually patch the Wordpress server OS and application for you? I can see they definitely do a great deal of optimization that makes your site ready for use after 1-click.

Most sites do auto-patching of Wordpress since the standard tools do this for you.

Hostadillo does full managed WordPress, too. They even install plugins and stuff.

@BRRABill you can DIY your own on digitalocean for $5 a month and there are some options that make it pretty simple, or you could run a LAMP or WAMP from your own connection. It's kinda a pain and then there's noone to message when you're stuff is down to fix it...

That's actually what I have been doing. (On VULTR.)
I got tired of the slow speeds with every shared host I tried. Site is blazing now.
