*📜 Plan description

Hostmate 20 is a Linux cPanel shared hosting plan with 20GB NVMe disk space, 600GB monthly data transfer, 2000MB memory allocation, 200% CPU allocation, and hosting for 11 domain websites made up of the primary domain plus 10 addon domains. It includes unlimited email accounts, unlimited WordPress installs, unlimited parked domains, unlimited subdomains, LiteSpeed web serving, free SSL, backups and virus scanning, Softaculous and WP Toolkit access, and free priority ticket support. The plan can be paid month to month at AUD 12.90, quarterly at AUD 38.70, semi-annually at AUD 77.40, or annually at AUD 143.64, which is equivalent to AUD 11.97 per month and is the lowest monthly equivalent price shown. Setup is free. The plan is suited to a growing business, agency-style small portfolio, WordPress and email workload, or a cPanel account that needs more storage, more transfer, and more addon domain capacity than the entry plan while keeping the same included support and security stack.

All shared hosting plans include cPanel, LiteSpeed, unlimited email accounts, unlimited parked domains, unlimited subdomains, DNS management, email forwarders, email aliases, autoresponders, POP3 and IMAP access, spam and virus protection, webmail, SPF and DKIM related DNS text records, unlimited MariaDB and MySQL databases, unlimited FTP accounts, CGI, Perl, SSI, cron jobs, Curl, GD 2, AWStats, Webalizer, bandwidth reports, raw access logs, error logs, password protected directories, custom error pages, phpMyAdmin, File Manager, JetBackup, Softaculous Auto Installer, WP Toolkit, PHP selector from 5.6 to 8.3, and free SSL for all hosted domains. The platform uses HP Enterprise servers with HP NVMe Enterprise drives, LiteSpeed for faster page delivery, Imunify360 for malware, web attack and vulnerability protection, and NSFocus DDoS protection and mitigation for malicious traffic. Daily backups cover website files, databases and email accounts, with three months of restore or download points available from cPanel, and account data is also mirrored to a secondary drive for reliability. Customers can change PHP versions in cPanel, install WordPress with a few clicks, run unlimited WordPress installations across primary domains, addon domains, subdomains or folders, and request a free cPanel transfer from another host. Pricing is the same for new and renewing customers rather than being a first-invoice promotion. Existing customers can upgrade or downgrade hosting automatically from the account login, with prorated charges or credits. Technical support is available by ticket and email, with 24x7 friendly email technical support, Australian support staff, and web servers located in Sydney, Australia. The web hosting service has a 30 day money-back guarantee, while domain registrations and renewals remain non-refundable. The terms include a 200000 inode limit per account, databases should stay under 1000MB, and extra bandwidth can be purchased if a cPanel account exceeds the monthly data quota.

📄 Editorial Review

HostMate is an Australian hosting and domain provider operated as part of The Great Aussie Surfshop Pty Ltd Hosting Group, with ABN 15 089 554 718. Their business history goes back to 1999, and their hosting activity is aimed mainly at Australian small businesses, WordPress users, domain owners, and customers who want simple cPanel hosting rather than complex server infrastructure.

Their product range is focused rather than broad. HostMate offers Linux cPanel web hosting, WordPress hosting, domain registration, domain transfer, DNS management, email hosting through cPanel, free SSL certificates, daily backups, malware scanning, WordPress setup, WordPress maintenance and uptime monitoring, and basic Google SEO setup services. They do not have a clear VPS, dedicated server, cloud server, reseller hosting, or colocation product line.

The shared hosting range is built around three plans: HostMate 10, HostMate 20, and HostMate 30. These include NVMe disk space, cPanel, LiteSpeed, unlimited email accounts, unlimited WordPress installs, addon domains, parked domains, subdomains, Softaculous, WP Toolkit, free SSL, JetBackup backups, and Imunify360 malware protection. The plans scale from 10 GB to 30 GB NVMe storage and from 300 GB to 900 GB monthly data transfer.

HostMate is especially suitable for Australian customers who want low-cost shared hosting, cPanel familiarity, WordPress convenience, Australian server location, and ticket-based local support. It is less suitable for users who need root access, SSH, Node.js, Python/Ruby/Laravel support, remote databases, dedicated IP addresses, VPS customization, or enterprise cloud infrastructure.

The company operates in English. No multilingual/localized version is available. Prices are displayed in AUD and include GST.
