*📜 Plan description

Built for one website just getting started, cPanel Starter bundles 30 GB NVMe SSD storage, unlimited bandwidth, 20 email accounts, 10 databases, LiteSpeed web server, malware scanning, weekly backups, free SSL, and Sydney data storage. Resource limits are 1 vCPU and 1 GB virtual memory, which suit lightweight CMS themes, landing pages, and small blogs. A free domain name is included on annual billing and you can migrate in at no cost; the control panel is standard cPanel for easy file, email, and DNS management.

All Melbourne IT cPanel plans are hosted in Australia with prices shown in AUD including GST, and include 24/7 support, one-click installers, CloudLinux account isolation, and a published 99.9% uptime target. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies to hosting (domains and some third-party services excluded). ‘As low as’ pricing reflects the best annual term discount; monthly pay-as-you-go is also available with clearly published standard rates.

📄 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.
