Hosting
WordPress hosting in Australia, tuned and looked after
Fast Australian servers set up for WordPress, with free migration, free SSL and people who actually know WordPress when something goes wrong.
The short answer
WordPress hosting is web hosting set up specifically for WordPress sites: the right PHP version, caching that suits WordPress, and support staff who know it well. Ours runs in Australian data centres, includes free SSL and a free migration, and starts at $29 a month + GST.
What "optimised for WordPress" should mean
Plenty of hosts use the phrase. Here’s what we think it should actually include.
Current PHP
Supported PHP versions, so your site is faster and isn't running software with known holes.
Server-level caching
Pages are served quickly without stacking up caching plugins that fight each other.
Isolated sites
Your site's resources are your own, so a busy neighbour can't slow you down.
Backups and restores
If something goes wrong, there's a recent copy to go back to.
Security at the server
Protection that stops common WordPress attacks before they reach your site.
WordPress-savvy support
People who know the difference between a plugin conflict and a server fault.
Speed from Australian servers
Distance still matters online. A round trip from Sydney to Los Angeles takes around 137 milliseconds, while Sydney to Melbourne takes about 10. Every page needs many of those trips, so overseas hosting adds up.
Speed affects sales. Deloitte’s “Milliseconds Make Millions” study found a 0.1 second improvement in mobile speed lifted retail conversions by 8.4%. Google also uses page experience, measured by Core Web Vitals, as part of how it ranks sites.
Hosting close to your customers is one of the simplest speed wins there is.
WordPress security for the world's biggest target
WordPress runs about 39% of all websites, according to W3Techs. That popularity makes it the biggest target on the web. Patchstack recorded 11,334 new WordPress vulnerabilities in 2025, and 91% of them were in plugins.
Good hosting stops a lot of attacks before they reach your site, but it can’t update your plugins for you. That’s where WordPress maintenance comes in. Most of our WordPress customers pair hosting with Maintain & Protect, so the server and the site are both looked after.
Which plan suits your WordPress site?
Personal plans suit brochure sites and blogs. Busy business sites and online stores do better on Business or VPS hosting.

WordPress hosting FAQs
What is WordPress hosting?
Hosting set up for WordPress: suitable PHP versions, caching and security that suit WordPress, and support from people who know it.
Is managed WordPress hosting worth it?
If your website matters to your business, usually yes. You get faster help and fewer problems. Pair it with Maintain & Protect if you want updates and security handled too.
Will you move my WordPress site for free?
Yes. Every plan includes a free migration. We move your files, database and email, and test everything before switching over.
Which PHP version will my site run?
A current, supported version. If your site needs an older one while it’s updated, we’ll help you plan the upgrade.
Do I need a caching plugin?
Usually not on our hosting. Server-level caching does most of the work. We can advise if your site has special needs.
