*📜 Plan description

Top managed VPS configuration focused on concurrency and headroom for heavier frameworks, workers and traffic bursts. It doubles memory to 16 GB and CPU to 8 vCores with 300 GB storage, includes four IPv4 addresses and unlimited bandwidth, and rides the same KVM stack for isolation and predictable performance. Security and operations mirror lower tiers—WAF, AV/malware protection, template hardening, AutoSSL, automatic patching, daily backups, quota controls, alerting via email/SMS, plus auto-failover multi-homed routing, dual Tier-1 carriers and optional load balancing. cPanel is bundled for administrative continuity and migration ease, and Australian 24/7 monitoring/support underpin quick diagnostics. A complimentary domain on eligible terms helps green-field projects launch fast.

Designed for agencies and production workloads that need consistent resources without hiring sysadmins. You retain application autonomy while the provider oversees the platform, with Australian data centres, local ownership and a 99.95% uptime objective to keep services responsive and compliant with common AU data-residency expectations.

📄 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.
