*📜 Plan description

Top WordPress shared plan recommended for eCommerce or heavy traffic deployments. Includes unlimited WordPress websites, 100 GB SSD storage, unlimited bandwidth and databases, unlimited business email accounts, proactive security stack, daily backups, SSL, and staging/cloning. It’s intended for agencies or multi-site owners that need many installs while keeping routine maintenance—updates, backups, hardening—fully streamlined through the WordPress Toolkit in cPanel. A free domain is included on annual terms to simplify new project launches.

WordPress hosting is delivered on Australian infrastructure with 24/7 support, a 99.99% uptime objective, and pricing in AUD including GST. ‘As low as’ pricing reflects annual discounts; pay-monthly options are published for planning. The general 30-day hosting money-back guarantee applies (domains/third-party services excluded), and features like daily backups, proactive security, and one-click recovery help reduce operational risk during updates and content pushes.

📄 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.
