*📜 Plan description

Step-up managed VPS for growing sites and small application stacks that need more CPU, memory and storage. This tier raises specs to 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM and 250 GB storage, keeps bandwidth unmetered, and increases the included IPv4 allocation to two addresses for cleaner network segregation or dedicated services. Built on KVM virtualisation, it inherits the same enterprise features: daily backups, AutoSSL, WAF, malware/AV protection, automatic OS security updates, server-template hardening, and quota management. Networking highlights include an auto-failover multi-homed design, dual Tier-1 carriers and load balancing options, with 24/7 monitoring and an Australian helpdesk for rapid triage and guidance. cPanel remains included for site management and migrations, and a promotional free domain is available on qualifying terms.

Best for multi-plugin CMS builds, small WooCommerce stores and API back-ends that demand steady performance without the burden of OS care. You keep application freedom while the provider manages the platform, aiming for low-latency Australian delivery and a 99.95% uptime target across facilities and links.

📄 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.
