Which hosting fits your business?
Same servers, same security, same support team. The difference is how much your business leans on the website from one day to the next.
The simple rule: if you pay for your traffic, in ad spend or in SEO, choose Fully Managed. If customers find you on their own, Basic is all you need.
The one to pick if customers find you on their own
Basic Managed Hosting
A reliable site with minimum hassle.
For businesses that win their work through reputation, referrals and repeat customers. Your site needs to be there, look right and load fast whenever someone looks you up. It is important, but it is not the engine of the business, its traffic needs are small, and it does not need a team working on it.
This is you if
- Your site is a brochure, a portfolio, a local service site or a small store
- Customers find you through referrals, word of mouth or your Google listing
- You are not paying for clicks or running an SEO campaign
- A few hours of downtime would be annoying, not expensive
- You want updates, backups and security handled, and never to think about hosting
On a bad day: the site is slow for an afternoon. We fix it, and nobody is out of pocket.

Fully Managed Hosting
For businesses that market online, every day.
For businesses proactively marketing online: running Google Ads or other paid traffic, doing SEO aggressively, including for AI search, and relying on the site day by day, sometimes hour by hour, to generate leads, customers and sales. Downtime and issues have a serious impact on the bottom line.
This is you if
- You run Google Ads, Meta ads or other paid traffic to the site
- You invest in SEO, in Google and increasingly in AI answers, and being found is tied to revenue
- The site brings in enquiries, bookings, calls or orders every day
- An hour of downtime, a broken form or a slow checkout costs real money
- You chose the hosting, and you do not want to be the one who gets the 7am call
On a bad day: the site is slow for an afternoon while your ads keep running. You pay for every click and lose the enquiries. Our job is to make sure that day does not happen, and to catch it fast if it does.
You do not need this if customers find you without ads or an SEO push. Basic will serve you well, and if you ask us, we will tell you so.
From US$99 a month

Fully Managed, with the Conversion Tracking Pack
For businesses that need proof of what the site produces.
Everything in Fully Managed, plus PixelYourSite and CallRail set up and kept working, so every form, sale and phone call is credited to the ad, keyword or page that produced it. Your monthly report shows leads, sales and calls next to speed and uptime.
This is you if
- You want to know which ads and keywords bring in customers, not just clicks
- Phone calls are a large share of your enquiries
- You report marketing results to a boss, a board or a client
- Your ad platforms are bidding without seeing all your conversions
On a bad day: a plugin update quietly stops your forms reporting to Google Ads, and the bidding drifts for weeks before anyone notices. We test the tracking on a schedule, so it is days, not weeks.
Any Fully Managed plan, plus US$99 a month and a US$295 setup
See what is in the packWhat Basic covers
The platform, looked after properly. Try it for $1 for the first month. Even Basic includes the things most hosts sell as extras: a free concierge migration, tested daily updates, backups every two hours, a firewall, daily malware scans with cleanup, Cloudflare, free SSL and a monthly Core Web Vitals email. If something breaks inside the website itself, you or your developer fix it, or we quote it.
What Fully Managed adds
Our people, working on your site. Ongoing speed work as the site changes, fixes when something breaks, regular checks that your forms, analytics and call tracking still record every lead, monitoring of the pages that earn money, a named person, and a monthly report you can forward to the boss. When something goes wrong at 7am, it is our problem before it is yours.
Not sure? Start on Basic
That is a sensible place to begin. The day you start paying for traffic is the day to move up. It is the same server, so nothing is migrated and nothing goes offline, and you can move back just as easily. Your monthly Basic email will tell you when paid or fast-growing traffic shows up on the site. proposed
| The job | Basic Managed | Fully Managed |
|---|---|---|
| Servers, security patches, firewall, Cloudflare | We do it | We do it |
| Offsite backups every two hours, kept for 30 days, plus your own hourly backups to Dropbox or Drive | We do it | We do it |
| WordPress, plugin and theme updates, tested before they ship | We do it | We do it |
| Malware scans and cleanup | We do it | We do it |
| Monthly Core Web Vitals email | We do it | We do it, for your key pages |
| Uptime monitoring with alerts | Not included | We do it |
| Free migration | We do it | We do it, with a speed pass |
| Making the site pass Core Web Vitals, and keeping it passing | You | We do it |
| Fixing things that break: checkout, forms, plugin conflicts | You or your developer | We do it |
| Checking analytics, forms and call tracking still work | You | We do it |
| A named person and a monthly report you can forward to the boss | Not included | Included |
Both lines get the same servers, firewall, backups and 24/7 support. Move between them at any time.
A slow site quietly loses visitors, leads and sales
Half your mobile visitors leave before it loads
Google’s own data: 53% of mobile visits are abandoned when a page takes more than three seconds. They never see the phone number, the form or the product. If you run ads, Google’s advice for a poor landing page starts with “Improve loading speed.”
Google, “The need for mobile speed”, 2016. Google Ads Help, Quality Score article, read September 2026A tenth of a second moves leads and sales
Across 37 retail and travel brands, a 0.1 second improvement in mobile speed lifted retail conversions 8.4%, average order value 9.2%, and cut lead-generation bounce rates 8.3%. Vodafone: 31% better LCP, 8% more sales.
Deloitte for Google, “Milliseconds Make Millions”, 2020. Google web.dev Vodafone case study, 2021Down on your busiest day is the expensive kind of down
One in six shoppers who abandon a checkout say the site had errors or crashed. A form that fails or a site that falls over during a launch, a sale or a peak week loses the leads and calls you cannot get back.

First report at day 30Monitored, maintained, reported
Daily tested updates, offsite backups every two hours, malware scans with cleanup, uptime and vitals monitoring on Fully Managed, and your monthly report. Raise anything, any time.
OngoingPriced by what the site does, not by gigabytes
For businesses that market online and rely on the site every day. A useful test: if you spend more on ads or SEO in a week than the plan costs in a month, protecting that spend is the cheapest line in your marketing budget. Fully Managed replaces four things you would otherwise buy separately: a host, a developer on call, a speed specialist and someone to read the monitoring. It runs on the same platform as Basic Managed Hosting below. Visitor figures are a guide to fit, not a cap. Annual billing takes two months off.

- What changed on the site, and did anything break?

What people say when the site stops being their problem
“Brendan and the team did a phenomenal job of switching over our web hosting. Not only is our site faster and more secure, they also assisted with some other small changes to the site to accelerate our SEO ranking. Highly recommended!!”
“Their hosting and security services cannot be beat. If I could give them more than 5 stars then I would, because they always go above and beyond to make sure the service they provide you far exceeds expectations.”
“I’ve been using Brendan and his team for more than 5 years now. Their professional recommendations for my businesses, my client’s businesses and the provision of training and support have always been spot on.”
Hey, I’m Brendan.
We started hosting websites in 2008, when we started our SEO agency and were rebuilding sites for clients. Back then we put them on a shared plan, not knowing better. Very quickly clients started complaining about 504 and 502 errors and sites going down. That is when we first took site performance seriously.
We wrote a blog post on site speed that has now been seen by millions. In 2016, because we were getting so many enquiries about speed, we started a service focused purely on site speed, and it became a whole agency in itself. We have helped over 5,000 sites since, and we took those learnings and built them into the WP Alpha platform.
Along the way we built our own monitoring software for real-visitor speed data and uptime, because we could not buy what we needed. Both are part of every plan.
Brendan TullyFounder, WP Alpha
WooCommerce stores are welcome
Carts, checkouts and logged-in pages cannot be cached like ordinary pages, which is why stores feel slow on ordinary hosting. Every plan includes Redis object caching for exactly those pages, and the larger plans add the processing power a busy order screen needs. If you take 20 to 50 orders a day or more, start on Power or above.
On the Scale and Command Fully Managed plans we also place an automatic test order through your checkout every five minutes and alert you if it fails, and we load test the store before a sale. proposed service, confirm
Asked on almost every order form
What is managed WordPress hosting?
Hosting where the host looks after the platform for you: the server, security, backups, updates, caching and malware cleanup. Basic Managed Hosting is exactly that, for small businesses that want a reliable site with minimum hassle. Fully Managed Hosting adds our people working on the site itself, for businesses that depend on it daily for leads and sales.
What is the difference between Basic Managed and Fully Managed hosting?
Same servers, same security, same support team. Basic is for small businesses with modest traffic whose site is important but not mission critical. Fully Managed is for businesses marketing online in earnest, with Google Ads, paid traffic or serious SEO, where downtime or a broken form hits the bottom line. It adds ongoing speed work, fixes, tracking checks, a named contact and a monthly report.
Can I move from Basic to Fully Managed later?
Yes, either way, at any time. It is the same server, so nothing is migrated and nothing goes offline.
Does hosting matter for AI search, such as ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews?
A little, and it is worth getting right. AI assistants learn about your business by crawling your site, the same way Google does, so the basics carry over: a fast site, clean pages and a server that answers every time. The common mistake is security settings that block AI crawlers by accident. On Fully Managed Hosting we check which ones can reach your site and set it the way you want. Your content and reputation still do most of the work.
Do I have to move hosts?
Yes. The plan only works because we run the platform the site sits on. We do the migration, it is free, and 99 of 100 happen with no downtime window.
What counts as a fix?
Up to an hour of a developer’s time on one problem: a broken checkout, a contact form that stopped sending, a plugin conflict, a missing call-tracking number, a layout that shifted after an update. Redesigns and new features are quoted separately.
Can my developer or agency still have access?
Yes. SSH, SFTP, staging and a full management console are there for them. We ask that updates go through our tested process.
Do you work with Elementor, Divi, WooCommerce, LearnDash, MemberPress?
Yes to all of those. Page builders are the most common reason a landing page fails Core Web Vitals, and fixing that is most of what the speed pass does.
What is in the monthly report?
Uptime and incidents, real-user Core Web Vitals for your top landing pages with a pass or fail, updates applied and rolled back, threats blocked, the tracking check, fixes done, and one recommendation for next month.
Do I need to be running ads?
No. The simple rule is this: if you pay for your traffic, whether in ad spend or in SEO, choose Fully Managed, because a slow or broken page wastes money you have already spent. If customers find you on their own, Basic Managed Hosting is the same platform from A$29 a month and it is all you need. You can move between them any time, and if you ask which one fits, we will tell you straight, including when the answer is the cheaper one.
Can I leave?
Any time. There is no contract, and your nightly backup has been going to your own Dropbox or Google Drive since the first week.
Where are the servers?
Sydney and Melbourne for Australia, plus UK and US data centres. You choose at signup and we put Cloudflare in front so the rest of the world is fast too.
See what your visitors actually experience
Enter your site. You get a pass or fail against Google's Core Web Vitals, 40 weeks of history for LCP, INP and CLS, homepage versus whole site, mobile versus desktop, and the same report emailed weekly or monthly so you know the moment something changes.
