Australian WordPress Hosting and Website Care Plans

Yes. Sites are hosted in a Google Cloud data centre in Melbourne by default, with Cloudflare Enterprise in front, so Australian visitors get low-latency load times and your data stays onshore, which matters for the Australian Privacy Principles. Support comes from our Melbourne studio, not an overseas ticket queue.

Yes. Melbourne is our default location, but a Sydney data centre is available on the same platform. If most of your customers are in New South Wales or Queensland, or you simply prefer Sydney, tell us when you enquire and we will set your site up there instead.

Kinsta, a managed WordPress platform built on Google Cloud's Premium Tier network and C2 machines, with Cloudflare Enterprise security and caching in 300+ locations worldwide. Each site runs in its own isolated container, uptime is checked every 3 minutes with an SLA-backed 99.9% guarantee, and platform engineers are on call 24/7/365. We manage all of it for you, so you only ever deal with us.

Distance adds latency. A server in the United States or Singapore adds load time for every Australian visitor, which drags down Core Web Vitals and conversions. Kinsta's own testing found 80 to 95% lower round-trip times for Australian cities compared with hosting in Singapore or Taiwan. Australian web hosting keeps your site close to your customers, keeps data onshore and puts the person who built your site an email away when something breaks.

A care plan is hosting plus the upkeep. Hosting + Care adds weekly WordPress core, theme and plugin updates, security and malware scans, performance checks and priority support, so your site stays fast and secure without you logging in. Hosting + Growth adds a monthly on-page SEO check and one blog post. If you want more than that, see our SEO packages.

Yes, on the Hosting + Care and Hosting + Growth plans. We manage WordPress core, theme and plugin updates each week, check that nothing breaks, and apply security patches. The Hosting plan covers the infrastructure only.

Every site is backed up automatically every day and the backups are kept for 14 days, so a bad update or a mistake can be rolled back in a click. Each site also has a staging environment, so changes can be tested safely before they go live.

Uptime is checked every 3 minutes, 480 times a day, and platform engineers respond around the clock. If a site is ever compromised, it is cleaned up free of charge under the platform's hack-fix guarantee, and we handle the whole process for you. On the care plans, weekly updates and security scans make that a rare event in the first place.

No. We focus on high-performance web hosting, and keeping email separate is what keeps your site fast and secure. We recommend a dedicated business email service such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, and we can point your domain at it when we set up your hosting.

If your traffic or storage grows beyond the plan limits, we will quote the extra capacity and handle the change for you, scheduled to avoid downtime.

Yes. We move existing WordPress sites onto our Australian hosting, run a health check when the site arrives and tell you what we would fix before any care plan starts. Mention migration when you enquire and we will scope it alongside your plan.
