*📜 Plan description
Entry managed VPS built for small production sites, busy blogs and lightweight eCommerce. Base resources include 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 200 GB storage on fast SAN/NVMe-backed infrastructure, paired with unlimited monthly bandwidth on a 10 Gb-capable network edge. One dedicated IPv4 address is included and native IPv6 is available; the virtualisation platform is KVM, giving kernel-level isolation and predictable performance. Security stack covers web application firewall, anti-virus/malware/spyware, automatic security updates, OS template hardening and AutoSSL for easy TLS. Operational tooling includes daily backups, quota management, email/SMS monitor alerts, auto-failover multi-homed network paths, load balancing options, dual Tier-1 ISP connectivity and 24/7 Australian helpdesk with proactive monitoring. cPanel is bundled for familiar site administration, staging, email and DNS. A free domain name incentive is advertised on eligible terms so new projects can launch without extra registrar steps.
Positioned as a fully managed environment: the provider handles setup, patching and routine maintenance while you retain application control. It targets Australian latency and data residency with locally owned data centres, and a published 99.95% service uptime objective. Ideal when shared hosting limits are reached but you prefer a hands-off OS experience over running your own server.

📄 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.
