Serving Sydney, New South Wales

WordPress hosting
in Sydney

Sydney is Australia's largest business market. When your clients in the CBD, North Shore, or Western Sydney visit your site, they should see it instantly. Our Sydney data centre delivers sub-5ms latency for NSW users, with NVMe drives and dedicated PHP-FPM containers so your WordPress site never shares resources with anyone else.

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

Why host your WordPress site in Sydney?

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 Sydney data centre cuts that to under 5ms for Sydney 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 Sydney

Sydney has the densest concentration of finance, broking and professional services businesses in the country, and those are exactly the sites where a certificate warning or a slow load costs a client. It is also the most competitive local search market in Australia - when four mortgage brokers in the same postcode all rank on page one, page speed is one of the few things left that separates them. Our Sydney server runs NVMe storage in a Tier 3 facility with a direct path to the NSW exchanges.

How your visitors actually reach it

Sydney carries the majority of Australia's international capacity and the country's largest internet exchange, so a Sydney-hosted site is the closest thing to a default good answer for a national Australian audience. Traffic to most NSW ISPs never leaves the metro area.

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

Hosting in Sydney - questions we get asked

Most Australian hosts say they are in Sydney. What is different here?

A lot of them mean a reseller account on someone else's Sydney hardware, or a US company's Sydney region. We run the machines, we choose what goes on them, and you get your own container rather than a share of a box with several hundred other WordPress sites on it.

My audience is national. Should I pick Sydney by default?

It is a reasonable default. Sydney has the best connectivity to the rest of the country and to overseas, so if you genuinely have no geographic centre of gravity, it is a sound choice. If most of your customers are in one state, pick that state.

Do you host in Sydney or just route through it?

The server is physically in Sydney. Your container, your files and your database are on that machine, in that city, and your dashboard tells you which one.

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.
