Thanks to cPanel, you can supervise your different domains, block IP addresses, monitor visitor statistics through tools like Webalizer and AWStats, and more. Web Hosts Australia&#8217;s support for custom cron jobs also lets you automate many regular site actions or tasks, saving you time and effort.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also get the handy Softaculous one-click script installer. This puts over 350 web applications at your fingertips. You&#8217;ll be able to install popular tools like WordPress and Drupal (CMS), osCommerce and ZenCart (e-commerce shopping carts), phpBB (forums), and more, with just one click.<\/p>\n<h3>Great Bonuses<\/h3>\n<p>Aside from these standard hosting features, though, Web Hosts Australia also includes some handy freebies. There&#8217;s the one-click site backup service, which ensures that you&#8217;ll always have a copy of your site data handy in case disaster strikes. Speaking of disaster, you&#8217;ll also have tools like Spam Assassin and anti-virus scanners to fend off malicious attacks and minimize the risk of any outages or site failures.<\/p>\n<h2>Windows Hosting: from $12 AUD per month<\/h2>\n<p>Web Hosts Australia recommends that you stick to their Linux hosting plans, but if you absolutely must have Windows-based hosting, the company offers three different packages for you to choose from. However, compared to the Linux-based plan, these come with some severe resource limitations, as you can see from the table below:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Feature<\/th>\n<th>Personal<\/th>\n<th>Business<\/th>\n<th>Deluxe<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Price<\/td>\n<td>$12<\/td>\n<td>$19<\/td>\n<td>$29<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Storage<\/td>\n<td>2 GB<\/td>\n<td>4 GB<\/td>\n<td>6 GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bandwidth<\/td>\n<td>4 GB<\/td>\n<td>8 GB<\/td>\n<td>12 GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Email Accounts<\/td>\n<td>30<\/td>\n<td>50<\/td>\n<td>75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Subdomains<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MySQL Databases<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MS SQL Databases<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>FTP Accounts<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>All plans use the customizable enKompass control panel and come with a 99.9% guarantee. There&#8217;s support for .NET 1.x to 4.x, MS XML, SOAP, and WinHTTP, PHP, Perl, CGI, and TCL. You&#8217;ll also be able to use MS SQL, MS Access and Excel databases.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from these Windows exclusives, you&#8217;ll also have the same features as the Linux hosting plan: everything from the unlimited email tools (autoresponders, forwarders, etc.) to web-based file managers and PhpMyAdmin access.<\/p>\n<h2>VPS and Dedicated Hosting: from $19 AUD per month<\/h2>\n<p>If you need more robust resources and features, consider getting a VPS or dedicated hosting package instead. Though these technically aren&#8217;t sold under the Web Hosts Australia label, your VPS and dedicated hosting options are offered by the same parent company (Fluccs Australia) through a sister site, Dedicated Servers Australia. Unlike Web Hosts Australia&#8217;s shared hosting plans, all of these packages are covered by a 100% uptime guarantee<\/p>\n<p>VPS hosting can be self-managed or fully managed, and you can choose among different Linux and Windows versions for your operating system, plus cPanel or Plesk for your control panel software. Here&#8217;s a quick look at the specifications and pricing for each plan:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Features<\/th>\n<th>VPS 1<\/th>\n<th>VPS 2<\/th>\n<th>VPS 3<\/th>\n<th>VPS 4<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Self-Managed Price<\/td>\n<td>$19<\/td>\n<td>$39<\/td>\n<td>$79<\/td>\n<td>$159<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fully Managed Price<\/td>\n<td>$209<\/td>\n<td>$229<\/td>\n<td>$269<\/td>\n<td>$349<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CPU Cores<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RAM<\/td>\n<td>1 GB<\/td>\n<td>2 GB<\/td>\n<td>4 GB<\/td>\n<td>8 GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Storage<\/td>\n<td>50 GB<\/td>\n<td>80 GB<\/td>\n<td>100 GB<\/td>\n<td>200 GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bandwidth<\/td>\n<td>200 GB<\/td>\n<td>300 GB<\/td>\n<td>400 GB<\/td>\n<td>500 GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Meanwhile, dedicated hosting plans can use single or dual-processor servers and have fully configurable specifications (RAM, storage, etc.). You can also choose your preferred Linux or Windows operating system, as well as your control panel software. Various degrees of server management services are also available for additional fees.<\/p>\n<p>Single-processor dedicated servers start at $159 per month, while dual-processor dedicated servers start at $399 per month.<\/p>\n<h2>Billing and Guarantees<\/h2>\n<p>Web Hosts Australia doesn&#8217;t set out a clear uptime guarantee for its Linux shared hosting plan, but the three Windows shared hosting packages do come with a 99.9% uptime guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>You get some degree of flexibility thanks to Web Hosts Australia&#8217;s lack of long-term contracts. You can choose from monthly or annual billing cycles, with one domain name registration coming free with the annual cycle.<\/p>\n<p>If you cancel your account within 30 days of registration, you can claim a full refund from Web Hosts Australia. The company also has a price guarantee, which assures you that they won&#8217;t be hiking prices anytime soon.<\/p>\n<h2>Customer Support<\/h2>\n<p>Web Hosts Australia provides 24\/7 support through email, their Help Desk support ticket system, live chat, and their toll-free number. Aside from that, you can check on server status, get advice for less urgent issues, and browse frequently asked questions on the company&#8217;s active community forums. There&#8217;s also a comprehensive knowledgebase containing tutorials and guide articles, though some of the video demos currently lead to error pages.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><section class=\"grayRow\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"newverdictBox\"><div class=\"newboxHeader\"><h3>What's the Verdict on Web Hosts Australia?<\/h3><\/div><span class=\"newverdictText\"><a href=\"\/visit-webhosts-au\" style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Worth It, Some Issues<\/a><\/div><\/section><section class=\"whiteRow\"><div class=\"row\">\n<h2>Web Hosts Australia Review 2020 &#8211; Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re in need of a variety of hosting packages and the flexibility of month-to-month billing, check out Web Hosts Australia.
