HOSTING & SECURITY

Website Hosting & Security Australia

Managed WordPress hosting on Australian servers: daily backups, updates, malware monitoring and support from the team that built your site. $29.95 a month, no contract.

What your $29.95 a month covers

Hosting is the monthly fee that keeps your website online, and with us it is managed hosting, which means the maintenance is our job, not yours. Your $29.95 a month covers:
Australian server hosting:
your site lives on servers in Sydney, so it loads fast for the people who actually buy from you.
Daily backups:
a copy of your entire site is taken every day. If anything goes wrong we roll back, you do not start again.
WordPress core and plugin updates:
we apply updates and check nothing breaks. Out-of-date plugins are how most small business sites get hacked.
Malware monitoring and spam blocking:
sites are scanned and traffic from known attack sources is blocked before it reaches your pages.
Support from the people who built your site:
when something needs fixing there is no ticket queue to an overseas call centre. It is on us.

What is billed separately

Two things sit outside the monthly fee, and we keep them separate so you can see exactly what you are paying for:

Your domain name:

around $45 a year, renewed in your name because it is your asset.

Your SSL certificate:

$45 a year. SSL is the padlock in the browser bar, and browsers now flag sites without it as Not Secure. It encrypts everything between your visitor and your site, which matters the moment someone types anything into a contact form.

Email is also separate from hosting; see our Email Hosting page for how we set that up with Google Workspace.

Why managed hosting beats cheap DIY hosting

You can rent raw hosting for a few dollars a month, and for some people that is the right call. The difference shows up the day something breaks. On DIY hosting, a hacked site, a plugin conflict or a white screen is your problem to research at 9pm. On managed hosting it is our problem, we have the daily backup, and we have fixed the same issue fifty times before. Over 15 years and 2,000+ websites, the pattern is consistent: the cheap plan costs more the first time it fails.

No contracts

Hosting is month to month. Your site is built on WordPress, so it is portable, and if you ever want to host elsewhere we hand everything over. Clients stay because the service is worth it, not because a contract says they must.

Our friendly team is ready to help you navigate your way to a fresh web design.

Yes. WordPress sites are portable and we will hand yours over cleanly. We recommend our hosting because we maintain and secure everything ourselves, and fixing problems is our job rather than yours.

No. The SSL certificate is $45 a year, billed separately, so the hosting fee stays honest and you can see each cost on its own line.

We restore from the daily backup, close the hole that let the attack in, and you are back online. This is the main event managed hosting exists for.

No, email runs separately from your website so a problem with one never takes down the other. We set up business email through Google Workspace; see the Email Hosting page.

Your site comes down but nothing is held hostage. Your domain stays in your name and we provide your site files if you are moving on.
