Legacy Cloud Hosting ( from list above)
These plans are most suitable for WordPress website hosting. We provision a hefty 5 GB of hosting space as standard, allowing your website to grow with time.
The PHP memory limit for this plan is 128 MB, allowing WordPress to function under increased load and/or site complexity. Many WordPress plugins fail or perform poorly under lower memory limits.
We provide for up to 5 subdomains, and unlimited alias domains are allowed.
4 Years in the Making
Our hosting infrastructure is built using the power of WPMUDEV Services. We have spent over 4 years developing a high-performance hosting solution within their highly secure, scalable data centres. This structure as well as the following is covered by Hosting fee.
Australian Based
An Australian data centre hosts all of our infrastructure, providing for low-latency access to you and your customers. Redundant backups are factored into our infrastructure.
Since we operate the servers that our customers’ websites run on, we are always in a position of advantage with regards to making any necessary changes to ensure your online business runs smoothly.
This is an important fact when you are looking to develop and serve highly available websites:
As the people who will help you develop your online business, we will also be operating and maintaining the hosting environment and it’s high level of performance.
Everyday Monitoring
Our dedicated hosting team monitors our servers 24/7, 365 days a year.
All our hosting plans include uncapped data to and from your website, ensuring that your visitors never experience a ‘quota exceeded’ message.
CloudLinux, Plesk, PHP
Our webservers support PHP versions current and previous 2 versions, allowing you or your web developers to choose the version most compatible with their application. Perl, CGI and Python are also supported.
Our webservers run the CloudLinux operating system, using LVE technology to segment performance among subscribers. This ensures that other sites hosted on our webservers do not overload your own service.
Backed Up Daily
We provide for daily backups by default, with 3 days worth available in ‘hot storage’ ready for immediate use. Manual backups may be taken at any time.
All of our hosting plans allow for the use of a separately purchased Secure-Socket-Layer (SSL) certificate under an SNI mechanism. This allows you to protect your visitors’ data during transfer to your website. Highly recommended for eCommerce online shops.
Awesome Performance Record
Email hosting is a high-priority area for us. We provide a carefully monitored environment, with high quality anti-spam and anti-virus protection.
PLEASE NOTE AS OF 31/12/22 WE CAN LONGER SET UP AND SUPPORT STAND ALONE HOSTED EMAIL SERVICES. ALL CLIENTS NEW AND EXISTING ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OFFICE365 AND/OR GMAIL FOR THEIR EMAIL NEEDS.
Separate Server
Unlike many cPanel hosters, we host your email on a separate server pool from our web servers. We provide a separate interface for email management, and our customers appreciate the secure segmentation that this provides.
SSL Ready
Access to our services is via Transport-layer-security (TSL) protected IMAP/POP3 protocols. SASL-authenticated SMTP for outgoing email is also standard. An uncluttered webmail client is also available, allowing your email users to securely change their password via the inbuilt self-service portal in webmail.
Outlook/Thunderbird
Autoconfiguration of email settings is one of our most noticeable features. A typical Outlook setup involves entering your email address and password, and a few clicks. No configuration of server names, ports, etc. is typically provided. We provide autoconfiguration for Outlook, Thunderbird, Mac Mail, and Apple iOS.
