📄 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.

😠 These guys sell .com.au domains for $168 odd for 2 years and the wholesale price is only $16 for 2 years, other companies like Crazy Domains sell .com.au at retail for $38 for 2 years!
My wife's domain had lapsed by a few days and we wanted to transfer it to Crazy Domains, Melbourne IT refused to transfer it unless we first paid $89 to renew it, AUDA the governing authority advised me that what they were trying to do was wrong, nothing had to be paid to Melbourne IT to transfer the domain.
Melb IT customer service was rude and got narky when I stated I had spoken to AUDA and said they did not know what they were talking about (this is the governing body for .com.au domains!).
In the end got it transferred with help of the new company and AUDA and absolutely NO HELP from Melbourne IT.
Never again will I do business with Melbourne IT or any of its subsidiaries!

😠 Terrible experience, poor service. Close your shop!
I had terrible time with them. It seems that they do not know how IT works.
We have specifically asked for a Windows based host which covers ASP.net. Three weeks later after we completed all our files and tested everything on a demo host, everything from our end was perfect. Then uploaded all the files to MelbourneIT provided host and error messages appear. After a few days of spending time and money to figure out why the website was not working, we found that what they gave us was a Linux type hostingp. They said it takes 4-24 hours for propagation to occur, waited for 24 hours (Saturday),nothing happened, call them, they do not provide level 2 support out of business hours, call Monday they say the problem is my developer, the developer upload files on a demo host, everything working fine, coming back to MelbourneIT now Tuesday and still waiting for them to call me to just confirm if they can fix the problems or I have to go somewhere else!
Midday I gave up on MelbourneIT and signed up with a different host provider, now my website is working!!
It appears that, they don't know what you want, or don't know what they are selling or not know how to work out things that they sell.
Horrible experience which affected my brand and reputation. There are lots and lots of other reasonable providers, why would I go with MelbourneIT.
I should have read the reviews before signing up with them!
