STAGING
Home / Basic Managed Hosting

A reliable site with minimum hassle. From A$29 a month.

WordPress hosting for small businesses whose site is important but not mission critical, with small traffic needs. Tested daily updates, backups every two hours, firewall, malware scans with cleanup, Cloudflare and a free migration are all in.

What looked-after means

Free concierge migration

Our team moves the site. 99 of 100 migrations happen with no downtime window; if one is needed we schedule it after hours.

Updates tested before they ship

WordPress, plugin and theme updates run on a staging copy with before-and-after screenshots and an error-log check. If anything shifts, it does not deploy.

Offsite backups every two hours

Plus your own backups, as often as hourly, to your own Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3 or FTP. Your site, your backups.

Firewall and daily malware scans

A web application firewall with brute-force protection in front of every site, and daily malware and antivirus scans with cleanup.

Cloudflare, SSL and staging

Cloudflare CDN set up for you, unlimited free SSL certificates, HTTP to HTTPS conversion, and a staging site when you want one.

A monthly vitals email

Every Core site gets the free Core Web Vitals report by email each month, whole-site view. Per-page vitals, speed work and fixes are on the Fully Managed plans.

Four steps, most of them ours

  1. Ask anything first. Email us or use the live chat, which is staffed 24/7.
  2. Pick a tier. Start on Starter if unsure and move up later.
  3. Check out. We send you what we need for the migration.
  4. We migrate you and go live. Then we help decommission the old host.
When the site starts earning

Power and Serious are the natural step to a Fully Managed plan once the site carries real leads and sales. Ongoing speed work, fixes and per-page vitals start there.

Basic Managed Hosting FAQ

What are the traffic and storage limits?

There is no traffic quota and no metering of visitors. Storage is the only limit, and it is the difference between the tiers.

Which data centre do I get?

Australian customers choose Sydney or Melbourne. UK and US customers are hosted in their own region. Cloudflare sits in front so the rest of the world is fast too.

What is not included on Basic Managed Hosting?

Speed work beyond the migration pass, per-page real-user vitals, fix credits, and a named account manager. Those are the Fully Managed Hosting plans, and you can move up any time.

Can I pay yearly?

Yes. Yearly billing is ten months for twelve. There is no minimum contract on monthly.

Do you host multiple sites?

Yes. Ask for the multi-site rate on Basic Managed Hosting; it replaces the old bulk hosting plans.

Marvin S.Google review
★★★★★

Very happy with the work they did to optimize the caching and speed on the website. They also debugged some weird issues that I was having related to caching plugins.
