*📜 Plan description

Designed for growing sites and small businesses, cPanel Plus lifts storage to 50 GB NVMe SSD and expands allowances to 10 websites, 25 databases, 50 email accounts, with the same unlimited bandwidth and LiteSpeed stack. You still get free SSL, malware scanning, weekly backups, free migrations, and Sydney data locality. Performance caps are set to 1 vCPU with 2 GB virtual memory—enough for busier blogs, small stores, and multi-page brochures that benefit from NVMe speed without moving to a VPS.

Common platform benefits include cPanel control for familiar management, Australian hosting with Sydney data centre presence, 24/7 support, CloudLinux for stability, and one-click installers. Prices are AUD including GST with ‘as low as’ annual discounts; the service advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee on hosting and a 99.9% uptime commitment. A free first-year domain is available on annual terms to reduce setup friction.

📄 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.
