For everyone else

WordPress hosting for
small business

Cafés and restaurants, hairdressers and barbers, beauty salons, retail shops, cleaners, mobile mechanics, real estate agents, florists, driving instructors, gyms and personal trainers, tutors, celebrants, pet groomers. Most Australian small businesses need the same four things from a website and are sold about forty. This is the four.

What small business actually need from a host

Not a feature list. The three things that decide whether your site helps you or embarrasses you.

Be found, be trusted, be contacted

Someone searches, lands on you, and decides in about four seconds. They need to see what you do, that you are real and local, and how to reach you. A fast Australian server and a valid certificate cover most of that before a word of your copy is read.

A price you can predict

Five dollars a month, or ten if you need several sites in one place. No renewal price that triples in year two, no support tier, no per-visit charges. If it stops suiting you, cancel - there is no lock-in and we refund the first month.

Nothing you have to keep an eye on

You did not start a business to administer a web server. We patch the machines, renew the certificates, keep your WordPress login closed to the public and take the backups. You update your opening hours and your prices.

Everything a small business site usually has to do

All of it runs on a $5 plan. WordPress plugins do the work; we keep the thing they run on fast, patched and backed up.

  • Opening hours, location and a map
  • A contact or booking form that reaches your inbox
  • Services and prices
  • Photos of the place, the team or the work
  • Google reviews and testimonials
  • An online shop, if and when you want one
Where your data lives

Your site, your enquiry forms and your customer list stay in Australian data centres, run by an Australian company answerable under Australian law.

Need more than a small site?

Every site runs in its own container, and when yours needs more we build a custom one to fit - so you never pay for resources you don't use.

Running a bigger site?

A busy online store, a marketplace or a site with lots of people logging in needs more room - even when it's quiet. We'll build it a container to fit, from $5 a month extra.

Tell us about your site
Looking after sites for clients?

Web developers and IT providers: run every client's site from one account, give each client their own login, and get containers sized to fit each one.

FAQ

Small Business - questions we get asked

Do I need to know anything technical?

No. You pick a plan and a city, and we build you a working WordPress site with its own certificate. From there it is the normal WordPress editor - the same one every web designer in the country works in. If you would rather not touch it at all, hand the login to whoever builds your site and they will know exactly what to do with it.

I already have a website somewhere. Is moving it a nightmare?

It is not, and you do not have to do it. Tell us where the site is now and we will move it across for you at no charge, on both plans. Your current site stays up the entire time - nothing changes for your customers until you say the word.

What if I only need a couple of pages?

That is most of our customers. A homepage, a services page, a contact form and your opening hours is a completely legitimate website, and it will load faster than the forty-page one your competitor paid four thousand dollars for.

What exactly do I get with a "container"?

Your own isolated Docker container running Nginx, PHP-FPM, and WordPress. It's not shared hosting where you're competing with hundreds of other sites for the same WordPress installation. Your container has its own filesystem, its own database user, its own SSL, and its own NVMe storage. You can reboot it, redeploy it, or destroy it from your dashboard without asking anyone.

Do you back up my site?

We offer an optional Daily Backups add-on that takes a daily off-site snapshot of your full WordPress site (files plus database), keeps 7 days of history, and lets you download or one-click restore from your dashboard. You can add it at any time from your dashboard - we never silently charge for it. We strongly recommend it for any production site.

We also recommend exporting your WordPress content periodically yourself (Tools → Export in WP-Admin) and keeping copies offsite. Pricing for the add-on is shown on our website and in your dashboard.

Will you move my existing site over for me?

Yes, and it doesn't cost anything - it's included on both plans, and there is no setup fee, no migration fee and no minimum term attached to it. Tell us where the site is now and give us access, and we'll bring the files and the database across, get it running on our servers, check it over, and only then tell you exactly when to change your DNS. Your existing site stays up and serving visitors the entire time, so there's no window where your site is offline while we work.

While we're in there we'll set Cloudflare up for you as well, if you want it - free CDN, caching and DDoS protection in front of your site. That's also included, and also something we just do rather than something you buy.

If you'd rather move it yourself, you can: the dashboard has import tools that take the common WordPress backup formats, including All-in-One WP Migration and Duplicator archives. Either way, the answer to "what does the move cost" is nothing.

Do you offer a free trial?

No free trial, but the cost to try it is $5. If it's not right for you within the first month, email us and we'll refund it - no questions asked.
