Managed WordPress hosting in Australia, for websites that deserve to be loved.
Australian WordPress hosting that isn’t a cramped spot on a shared server. Your site gets its own space on our Australian servers, and a person in Perth who looks after it.
What makes it managed WordPress hosting.
Most hosts sell you server space and leave the rest to you. We run the server and look after the WordPress site on it, for businesses in Perth and across Australia.
Its own space
Most hosts: Often one shared space with hundreds of other sites.
With us: Each site has its own isolated space and system user, so a problem on another site can’t reach yours.
A staging copy
Most hosts: Rarely included, or sold as an extra.
With us: Every site has one, so changes and updates are tested before they go live.
Updates by a person
Most hosts: Left to you, or switched to automatic.
With us: WordPress, theme and plugin updates are done by hand and checked afterwards. No blind automatic updates.
Backups in more than one place
Most hosts: Often one copy, kept on the same server.
With us: Server-level and off-site backups, kept for at least two months and restored in minutes.
Patched, protected, cleaned up
Most hosts: Up to you to spot, fix and clean up.
With us: Plugins checked for known weaknesses and patched fast, logins protected with two-factor sign-in, and if your site is ever hacked, we clean it up at no extra cost.
99.9% uptime, watched
Most hosts: A support ticket, once you notice.
With us: We aim for 99.9% uptime. Monitoring tells us straight away if your site goes down, and we act on it.

We move your WordPress site for free.
Moving hosts shouldn’t be your job. We copy your site to our servers, check it meets our security standards, test it, then switch it over, with little or no downtime.
Free for WordPress sites
If your site needs rebuilding first, we’ll quote that separately before we start.
Common questions.
Still have a question?
Ask a person, not a chatbot. We reply within one business day.
What does “Australian VPS” mean?
Your site runs on a virtual private server in Australia, in its own isolated space, rather than on a crowded shared server.
Is moving my site free?
Yes, for WordPress sites. If it needs rebuilding first, we quote that separately.
Will my site go down during the move?
Rarely, and only briefly. We test it on our servers before we switch your domain over.
How reliable is the hosting?
We aim for 99.9% uptime, and monitoring alerts us the moment a site goes down.
Is care included, or is it extra?
Included. Every hosting plan is a care plan, with updates, backups, security and 30 to 90 minutes of support time each month.
Can I host an online store?
Yes. Protect suits small shops and Propel suits large stores.
Do you host email?
No. We host websites only, so your email stays with your current email provider.
Is there a minimum term?
Six months, and you can change plans as your site changes.
Tell us what you need.
We reply within one business day with a quote, or a few quick questions if we need them.
