Melbourne web hosting searches usually come from one of three people: a business owner replacing a site, a freelancer or agency looking for somewhere to put client work, or someone whose current host has gone slow. The right answer differs for each.
WordPress hosting and cPanel hosting are the same plans, the first written for WordPress sites and the second for multi-domain and email-heavy setups, and reseller or VPS plans suit agencies. Skyrack hosts everything in Sydney and answers DNS queries from a node in Melbourne as well as Sydney, Perth and Adelaide. Shared plans start at $4.98 a month with free SSL, hourly off-site backups and a 99.9% uptime SLA. Our team migrates sites for free and is on the other end of email, chat and call-back requests if you want a second opinion on a plan.
