All plans include

Hosted in Australian data centres, close to your visitors. The operating system, web stack, backups, and monitoring are all set up and managed for you., We move your existing site over for you.

Break things safely, then push when ready., Run the PHP version your site needs, and switch when you’re ready. Node.js and other runtimes are set up to suit what you’re running., Free TLS certificate issued and renewed automatically for every domain. No setup, no charge., A snapshot of the whole server every 24 hours, kept offsite, with 7 days of restore points as standard. More frequent backups, even hourly, can be set up for your server on request., CPU, memory, and storage allocated to your server alone, not shared with other customers' sites. Predictable performance under load., Your own IP address, shared with no one. Its reputation is yours alone, and it’s easier to allow-list with third-party integrations., Available on request at no extra cost, and something we usually set up. Your site is cached and served from edge locations worldwide, so visitors load it from somewhere close to them and the server does less work., Server and object caching available on every plan, ready to switch on and set up to suit your stack, so pages assemble fast and the database does less work., Background queues, workers, and scheduled tasks set up and kept running, for apps that need them, such as Laravel or Node.js., The operating system and server software kept patched with security updates. It’s part of managing the server, so you never have to think about it., A managed firewall filtering traffic before it reaches your server, with rules we maintain., Comes with the Cloudflare CDN, which we usually set up at no extra cost: attacks are absorbed at the network edge before they ever reach your server., We check every minute that the server and the services on it are responding. If anything goes down we get a text within the minute and look at it, outside business hours included., Guaranteed for the infrastructure we run: the server, its connection, and the services on it. If it dips below 99.9% in a month, you can claim a credit on your next invoice. Terms on the legal page., It’s your server: take root access if you want it. Most clients leave the running of it to us, which is rather the point of managed., You deal with people who know your setup, not a ticket queue, an offshore help desk, or a script. We aim to reply within a business day. + more.

A server that’s yours alone.

On shared hosting, your site has its own allocation on a server it shares with other sites. Private hosting takes the sharing away. The CPU, memory, and storage are reserved for your site, with your own IP address, so performance stays predictable when traffic spikes, a sale goes live, or an app is busy working in the background.

It suits online stores, sites the business depends on, and apps built with Laravel or Node.js, as well as WordPress and WooCommerce. Plans run in Australian data centres. If you need another region, a particular cloud, or more than one server, that’s a custom setup, designed and quoted before anything is built.

It’s fully managed: we set the server up for what you’re running, keep it patched and updated, monitor it around the clock, and back it up. The site or app itself stays yours to update, or add a WordPress maintenance plan or website support and we’ll handle that too.

What would moving involve?

Put in your site’s domain and we’ll look up where it lives now, who runs its DNS, and where its email goes. Moving is free either way.

Looked up with public DNS, straight from your browser. Nothing is stored.

  1. Site Where the website lives
  2. DNS Who runs the domain’s records
  3. Email Where the mail goes
