*📜 Plan description

Entry Microsoft 365 plan oriented to essential collaboration with hosted Exchange email. Per-user licence includes Outlook/Exchange Online with a 50 GB mailbox, Microsoft Teams for chat, calls and meetings, SharePoint-backed file sharing and 1 TB OneDrive storage. Apps are delivered as web and mobile versions with automatic feature updates; desktop installs are not included in this tier. The provider manages licensing and billing locally with Australian support channels, so you can onboard staff quickly while keeping budgets predictable on annual terms that show ‘as low as’ pricing per mailbox. The service carries Microsoft’s 99.9% uptime target and phone/online support is highlighted for assistance.

A practical fit for small teams that need business-grade email, calendars, shared files and secure collaboration without desktop Office. It can be upgraded later to Standard or Premium for installable apps and device/security management as needs mature, preserving identities and data while adding capabilities.

📄 Editorial Review

Melbourne IT is an Australian brand founded in 1996 (originating from the University of Melbourne; co-founded by Peter Gerrand, Tom Dangthanh, and Barbara Sutton) and forms part of the ASX-listed Webcentral Group. They present themselves as a long-time, locally operated provider focused on small and medium-sized businesses.

Their catalog spans Shared Hosting (cPanel in Sydney), WordPress-optimised hosting, Managed VPS, Email hosting (including Microsoft 365 and custom business email), a website builder, domain registration, and SSL certificates. Traditional web design services are not offered anymore as of 2025.

Shared and WordPress plans emphasize ease of use (one-click apps, cPanel, WordPress Toolkit), Australian data residency, and marketed uptime targets up to 99.99% for WordPress. Managed VPS targets growing and high-traffic sites, highlighting enterprise-grade Dell hardware, daily backups, cPanel/WHM management, DDoS protection, and a 99.95% uptime target. The email portfolio ranges from very low-entry "Small" and "Work" tiers to Microsoft 365 Business, with security add-ons like spam filtering, MFA, antivirus, and MailGuard 365. Domains remain a core competency, with a long history as Australia’s first registrar and services for both SMBs and corporate portfolios.
