Shared Hosting: From $39 AUD per month<\/h2>\n

Hosting Australia’s lowest-priced option still costs more than the competition, but it packs a lot of value. This makes Hosting Australia ideal for users with sizable budgets who are on the lookout for the most cost-effective web hosting deals.<\/p>\n

Rightly described as an “all-in-one” plan, Hosting Australia’s shared hosting comes with enough resources to support everything from a personal page to an online business. You get a hefty 50 GB of storage and unmetered bandwidth, plus the ability to host an unlimited number of domains, subdomains, databases, and email accounts. However, you don’t get free domain name registration like you would from other providers.<\/p>\n

Standard software like the industry-standard cPanel and Softaculous script installer come free, so you’re assured of effortless account management and web application installation. Popular apps like WordPress, PrestaShop, and Magento can easily be deployed with a few clicks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Built-In Performance Boosts<\/h3>\n

More than the usual features, though, Hosting Australia gives you advanced security and optimization tools free of charge. Your cPanel installation comes with a free SSL certificate, making it easier to launch e-commerce ventures. SpamExperts filters your traffic for spam, while built-in anti-virus technology guards your site from malicious attacks and intrusions. You’ll also get free, automated daily backups with 1-click restores, so you know you can have your site back instantly even if the worst does happen.<\/p>\n

Thanks to CloudLinux technology, your account is also insulated from the other accounts that share your server. This means you don’t have to worry about the effects of other users’ security vulnerabilities or site activity – a setup that protects your resources from getting pulled elsewhere, too. CloudLinux can also boost CPU limits to accommodate high traffic. With all-SSD servers, I\/O speed assurances, and the free Cloudflare and Railgun performance enhancements, you can expect blazing-fast site performance even during periods of intense activity.<\/p>\n

Contract Terms<\/h3>\n

Hosting Australia has four different billing cycles for you to choose from: monthly, annual, biennial, and triennial. You get big discounts if you sign up for the longer cycles. There are no penalties for canceling your account, so you technically aren’t locked in; however, Hosting Australia only provides refunds for cancellations made 3 days afer registration.<\/p>\n

VPS Hosting: From $50 AUD per month<\/h2>\n

VPS hosting is the way to go if you’ve got more resource-intensive or high-traffic websites to work with. All of Hosting Australia’s VPS plans come with 50 GB of SSD storage, unlimited bandwidth, 1 dedicated IP address, and DDoS protection, so you know your sites can handle heavy-duty traffic and fend off malicious attacks.<\/p>\n

That said, if you’re considering VPS hosting, you’ll have to choose between two main categories: self-managed or fully managed.<\/p>\n

Self-Managed vs Fully Managed<\/h3>\n

The self-managed option costs much less than Hosting Australia’s offer of full management. For the Start Up plan, for example, going for self-management costs $50 AUD per month, while leaving the management to Hosting Australia costs $240 per month.<\/p>\n

This isn’t just a question of cost, though. If you’re confident in your technical skills and would like full control over your virtual server, the self-managed plans are the only way to go; Australia Hosting’s fully managed plans don’t grant root access.<\/p>\n

Self-managed plans are also fully customizable, so you can adjust different aspects of your server configuration to fit your needs. Depending on your chosen plan, you’ll start with some baseline resources, with the freedom to pay extra fees for, say, more RAM or storage space.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, self-managed plans are as barebones as they come. This means you’ll be missing out on great, money-saving services like a cPanel\/WHM license and migration assistance for pre-existing cPanel accounts, which only come with the fully managed plans.<\/p>\n

Fully Managed Perks<\/h3>\n

Fully managed plans give up root access for a lot of conveniences. Business with the budget for it can focus on growing their audience by leaving all the day-to-day server upkeep to Hosting Australia.<\/p>\n

The company will take care of software and OS updates\/patching, plus constant server monitoring and reporting so you’re alerted whenever an issue arises. Technical staff support extends to the software you install, with Hosting Australia taking care of troubleshooting and updates for those, too.<\/p>\n

VPS Hosting Pricing<\/h3>\n

Regardless of which management option you choose, here are the baseline resource you’ll be getting with each package, as well as monthly prices for both management types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Feature<\/th>\nStart Up<\/th>\nSuperior<\/th>\nEnterprise<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Self-Managed Price<\/td>\n$50<\/td>\n$89<\/td>\n$142<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fully Managed Price<\/td>\n$240<\/td>\n$279<\/td>\n$332<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
RAM<\/td>\n1 GB<\/td>\n2 GB<\/td>\n4 GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
CPU Cores<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can opt for monthly or annual billing cycles. As with the shared hosting plans, you’ll also receive discounts if you sign up for the longer cycle.<\/p>\n

Dedicated Hosting<\/h2>\n

For enterprises with larger resource needs or where reliability and security are of the utmost importance, Hosting Australia offers dedicated servers, as well.<\/p>\n

If you’re considering this option, the company does its best to tailor the plan to fit your needs, so you’ll have to contact Hosting Australia directly.<\/p>\n

Guarantees<\/h2>\n

Hosting Australia gives you an impressive 100% uptime guarantee, so you can expect compensation for any unscheduled downtime. Unfortunately, the company’s refund policy is much less generous: you’ll only get a full refund if you cancel your account within 3 days of registration.<\/p>\n

Customer Support<\/h2>\n

Hosting Australia assures you of 24\/7\/365 technical support through email, support ticket, and live chat. Phone support is also available during operating hours on both weekdays and weekends.<\/p>\n

The company also maintains an organized knowledgebase and FAQ to help you out with common procedures and questions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
