Questions? Check our frequently asked questions!

Managed WordPress Hosting involves maintaining the foundational software your website is built on, such as WordPress, its plugins, and your website security, keeping them updated and secure. Contrary to popular belief, most major web hosting providers do NOT update or secure your website; this responsibility is usually left to the site owner, who often neglects it. As a result, a few years down the line, the website becomes vulnerable to hacking...

Our servers are housed in Sydney's largest EQUINIX data centre, which is staffed by onsite server technicians around the clock.

Our bare metal Dell server is operating well below its maximum capacity. We intentionally over-specified our server requirements to guarantee uninterrupted performance even during peak traffic periods. With ample headroom and resources at our disposal, our server infrastructure ensures smooth and seamless operations for your website, regardless of surges in user activity.

We leverage the power of Linux servers equipped with C-Panel, a user-friendly control panel, to provide you with robust hosting solutions. Linux, renowned for its stability and security, serves as the foundation for our server infrastructure. With C-Panel, you gain effortless site management capabilities, empowering you to handle various aspects of your website with ease. From managing email accounts to handling backups and security settings, our Linux servers with C-Panel offer a comprehensive and user-friendly hosting experience.

We have a two tiered server management structure. Firstly we run the day to day servers, adding new customers and site maintenance. Then, we have server managers within the Sydney Data Centre for hardware maintenance and network up keep.

Yes we do! We use the fastest caching system available for the WordPress platform, WP Rocket Caching System which is added to all sites we host at no charge to you! ( A US$39 per year licence)

Absolutely not! In order to provide efficient serving of all our clients sites, we do not host thousands or even hundreds of sites on our server. Instead we offer premium hosting services capable of high speed at all hours of the day including peak periods without ever exceeding our server’s capability. In fact, our server is way over spec for the service we provide, allowing massive growth before ever needing to upgrade.

No! Other platforms such as Magento, Joomla and Drupal are far more demanding on a server’s resources, so we do not host those platforms on our server at all. Our server is tweaked for WordPress only.

Yes we do! We do a complete server backup daily. We also take periodical backups and store them in the cloud for disaster recovery.

Yes we do! Unlike cheaper hosting services, we are here to help when you need it. We do not use an online ticketing system as they are annoying, simply pickup the phone and call!

Sure can! If you can provide us with your WordPress admin access, we can move your site efficiently for a small fee of $125 + GST. You must provide us with ADMIN access to your WordPress Website.
