Serving Perth, Western Australia

WordPress hosting
in Perth

Perth has always been underserved by eastern-states hosting companies. That ends here. We run a dedicated NVMe server in Perth, so WA businesses get the same speed advantage as their east coast counterparts - without the 50ms+ latency penalty of cross-country routing. From Fremantle to the Swan Valley, your WordPress site loads fast.

From $5 AUD/month - ultra-low latency from our Perth NVMe server.

Why host your WordPress site in Perth?

Every millisecond of page load time costs you visitors. When your server is physically close to your audience, pages load faster - and Google rewards fast sites with higher rankings.

Most Australian small businesses are still running on US or Singapore servers with 150-200ms round-trip times. Our Perth data centre cuts that to under 5ms for Perth visitors.

Your data never leaves Australia. That means better performance, compliance with Australian data residency expectations, and a hosting provider that's actually accountable under Australian consumer law.

Who we host in Perth

Perth is the most isolated capital city in the world and Australian hosting has treated it that way for twenty years. A Perth business on an east coast server pays a 50 millisecond penalty each way on every single request - on a WordPress page making sixty requests, that is a delay you can watch happen. We run a server in Perth, so WA visitors get the same experience a Sydney business takes for granted. For mining services firms whose clients are on satellite or microwave links from site, that head start matters even more.

How your visitors actually reach it

Perth connects to the eastern states over a small number of very long terrestrial links, which is why cross-country latency is so high and so hard to improve. The only real fix is to put the server in Perth, which is what we have done.

FAQ

Hosting in Perth - questions we get asked

How much faster is a Perth server for WA visitors, really?

Roughly 100 milliseconds saved on every round trip compared to a Sydney server. A typical WordPress page makes dozens of requests, so it is the single biggest speed decision a WA business can make - considerably more than any caching plugin will give you.

My customers are in WA but my web designer is in Melbourne. Does that matter?

Not at all. They will find the dashboard slightly slower to use than you do, and that is the whole of it. Pick the city your customers are in, not the one your designer is in.

Do you actually have hardware in Perth?

Yes. Not a cache, not a CDN edge - your container, your files and your database are on a machine in Perth.

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.
