Managed hostingwith upkeep done.
Australian website and WordPress hosting where we also look after the updates, plugins, security and backups, so Adelaide business owners can stop worrying about the technical side of their website.
Website maintenance taken care of
Your website is often the face of your business, and keeping it in good shape takes regular work. Managed hosting puts that work on our plate. On top of hosting your site, we handle the technical side of maintaining it: updates, security, backups and fixing problems when they come up.
This is the difference from our standalone website hosting. Standalone hosting keeps your site online and backed up but leaves the updates to you. With managed hosting, we update your website and plugins every month, keep an eye on security, and deal with issues from software updates to server optimisation.
It suits businesses that would rather hand the technical side to someone they trust and spend their own time running the business. Whether you have a small blog or a large online store, the aim is the same: a site that stays up, stays secure and gives your visitors a good experience.
What's included
Monthly updates
We handle your website updates each month, from recommendations through to making the changes and testing them.

Sydney-based servers
Hosted in NextDC data centres in Sydney, for fast load times for Australian visitors.
Australian support
A local team you can reach by phone or email, with no overseas call centres.
Updates handled for you
Monthly updates keep your website current. That means fixing bugs, improving performance and, where you need it, adding new pages, updating your product catalogue or bringing in new plugins. We take care of the whole process: talking through what you need, making recommendations, making the changes and testing them properly before they go live.
Fast, local and secure
A slow website loses visitors before they've seen what you offer, and a slow site also costs you enquiries. Hosting close to your audience cuts the time information takes to travel, so our servers are located in NextDC data centres in Sydney. Hosting in Australia also means your data is stored within the country and handled under Australian data protection and privacy laws.
Support from real people
When something technical goes wrong, you want to talk to someone who understands the problem. Our support team is based in Australia and is a phone call or email away, whether it's a minor hiccup or a major issue. We don't just fix problems either. We'll give you straight advice on getting the most out of your website and hosting.
Common questions
How is managed hosting different from regular shared hosting?
Shared hosting puts many websites on one server that share its CPU, RAM and disk space, and generally suits small, low-traffic sites. Managed hosting adds the work of looking after your site: server management, security updates, performance optimisation, regular backups and technical support.
How is this different from your standalone website hosting?
Our standalone hosting plans don't include updating or maintaining your website. Managed hosting adds monthly updates, plugin updates and security monitoring, so your site stays current and patched without you having to arrange it.
Do you update plugins?
Yes. We keep track of new plugin updates and apply them to your website, so you get the latest features, security patches and improvements.
Most of my customers are overseas. Can you host my website internationally?
Yes. We offer international hosting for Australian businesses with an overseas customer base, so your site can sit on overseas servers for faster loading while you still deal with us here in Australia.
Is managed hosting worth it?
It's worth it if you want to hand the technical side of your website to people who know it. You get security, monitoring, maintenance and support without needing your own IT staff or spending your own time on it.
