📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Conetix is an Australian-owned web hosting and managed infrastructure provider headquartered in Ipswich, Queensland. The company has operated since 1999, with founder and CEO Jamin Andrews closely involved in its technical and customer-service direction. The business maintains a relatively compact Australian team, with an employee range of approximately 11–50 people.

Conetix has built its reputation around Australian hosting, local technical assistance and fully managed services. Its customer base includes small and medium-sized businesses, digital agencies, developers, government-related organizations and website owners who prefer to keep their websites and business data within Australia.

The service range covers Business Web Hosting, WordPress Hosting, Managed WordPress, Joomla Hosting, Managed Joomla, Managed VPS, agency-focused Partner VPS services, business email, Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, Google Workspace, email filtering, email backup, domain registration, SSL certificates, Plesk licenses, KernelCare and managed Cloudflare services. Dedicated servers also remain part of the wider infrastructure portfolio, particularly for customers transferred through acquisitions and customized business arrangements.

Business Web Hosting is the conventional shared-hosting service. Plans include NVMe or SSD storage, Plesk, free SSL certificates, WordPress Toolkit, Sitejet Website Builder, selectable PHP versions, email hosting, malware protection, traffic allowances and server monitoring. The Starter plan is suitable for one or two relatively small business websites, while the Professional and Premium packages increase storage, bandwidth, email capabilities and practical website capacity.

Managed WordPress provides a much more comprehensive service than ordinary shared hosting. Conetix technicians handle WordPress updates, security, monitoring and routine technical maintenance. The service includes nightly backups, staging environments, Git, SSH, WP-CLI, Imunify360 security, performance monitoring, free migration and Let’s Encrypt SSL. Higher packages add stronger vulnerability protection and isolated VPS resources.

Managed WordPress backup retention can extend to 12 months, which is considerably longer than the standard disaster-recovery retention supplied with conventional shared hosting. This makes the service appropriate for business websites where a long history of recoverable versions is important.

Joomla customers receive a similarly specialized environment. Standard Joomla Hosting includes Joomla-oriented management tools and optimized PHP hosting, while Managed Joomla adds software maintenance, monitoring, backups and security assistance. Compatibility with several Joomla generations is useful for organizations still operating older installations or completing staged Joomla upgrades.

The Managed VPS range uses Dell PowerEdge hardware, NVMe storage and replicated infrastructure. Conetix manages the operating system, security patches, PHP, MySQL, web-server configuration, monitoring and backups. Customers can retain root access when required, but routine server administration remains under the control of the Conetix technical team.

Managed VPS packages include Plesk Obsidian, Imunify360, server monitoring and an independent backup vault. These are managed application servers rather than low-cost unmanaged virtual machines. They suit businesses that need dedicated resources without taking responsibility for Linux administration, security hardening and software maintenance.

Partner VPS services extend the same model to web agencies and developers managing multiple customer websites. Plesk simplifies subscription, domain, email and customer management, while Conetix maintains the underlying operating system, security and monitoring. This arrangement can be more efficient than maintaining a large collection of unrelated shared-hosting accounts.

The business email platform provides Australian-hosted mailboxes with POP3, IMAP, SMTP and SOGo webmail, together with calendars, contacts and SpamExperts filtering. Conetix also supplies Microsoft 365 Business and Enterprise subscriptions, Exchange Online, Microsoft 365 backup, Google Workspace, centralized email signatures, anti-spam services and external mail-server backup.

This broad email portfolio accommodates both companies that need straightforward Australian-hosted mailboxes and organizations moving toward Microsoft or Google collaboration platforms. Local support remains available even when the underlying productivity service is supplied by a third party.

Domain registration supports more than 470 extensions, together with automatic renewal reminders, domain transfer assistance, parking and premium DNS management. SSL options range from free Let’s Encrypt certificates included with hosting to commercial RapidSSL and wildcard certificates.

KernelCare licenses are available for rebootless Linux kernel updates, while Plesk licenses can be purchased for servers hosted outside the Conetix network. This makes the company useful not only as a hosting provider but also as a supplier of related server-management software.

Conetix expanded through several acquisitions and customer migrations. StudioCoast customers joined the platform in 2021, while UpThereCloud was acquired in 2026. Soularc website hosting, email, VPS and game-hosting services also joined Conetix during 2026. These transactions expanded the company’s shared hosting, VPS, email and legacy dedicated-server customer base.

The company operates a modern responsive website suitable for desktop and mobile devices. Services, account management and technical information are provided in English, while pricing is primarily presented in Australian dollars.
