Our managed hosting plans in Australia are built around how much your website does for your business. All of them are fully managed; the difference is performance headroom, extras and the level of support.
Essentials suits small business sites, brochure sites and landing pages that need secure, reliable hosting without extras. Business Class is the right plan for most growing businesses and every WooCommerce store: it adds CloudFlare CDN, WP Rocket caching, managed WordPress updates, uptime monitors and priority support with 24/7 uptime monitoring and pager escalation. First Class is for high-traffic and mission-critical websites that need premium performance tuning and dedicated support through your own account manager.
Choose a fully managed VPS when a site, or a portfolio of sites, needs dedicated resources: large WooCommerce catalogues, heavy traffic, custom server software or strict isolation from other customers. The base VPS runs on AWS in the Sydney region with 2 vCPU, 8 GB of memory and 100 GB of storage, and suits roughly 1 to 10 websites.
Every plan comes with a free, zero-downtime migration, Let’s Encrypt SSL, multi-layer security hardening, automatic malware cleaning, daily VM snapshots with 14-day retention, Route 53 DNS managed separately from hosting, and 24/7 infrastructure monitoring. Prices are in Australian dollars and exclude GST. There are no lock-in contracts, and if you ever leave, we provide a final backup of your site.
