Network Presence (Australia): A Deeply Technical, Service-Focused VPS and Cloud Hosting Provider
Network Presence is a proudly Australian-owned and operated hosting provider specializing in high-performance VPS and Cloud infrastructure, co-location, and managed hosting services. Founded with a strong engineering ethos, the company positions itself not as a mass-market hosting brand, but as a partner for technical professionals, developers, ISPs, and enterprise-level customers who need custom hosting environments and deep system administration expertise.

Performance and Flexibility at Its Core

What distinguishes Network Presence is its unapologetically technical approach. Their Cloud and VPS offerings are built for customers who want full control, customizability, and dependable performance backed by local support. Plans are provisioned from world-class Australian data centers—primarily in Sydney and Adelaide—with NVMe storage, IPv6 support, and generous network configurations.
Cloud users can take advantage of a resource pool model that allows for the creation and management of multiple VPS instances under a single order. All standard Cloud and VPS plans come with at least two IP addresses, root access, and optional hourly billing—an uncommon but welcome flexibility in the Australian market.

Managed Services with a Human Face

For customers who require hands-on support, Network Presence offers a standout product: "SysAdmin as a Service"—a remote system administration offering where experienced Linux and Internet engineers are available on-demand. Their team brings ITIL, RedHat, and Unix/Linux credentials to the table and offers professional consulting not just for server administration but also for broader ISP and corporate infrastructure needs.
This service extends across everything from Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress appliance hosting to custom deployments and cloud-native architecture support. For larger clients, this can scale up to a "Whole of Business" model, providing ongoing hosting and connectivity strategy.

Co-location with Enterprise Perks

For those looking to deploy physical infrastructure, Network Presence offers both Hosted and Dedicated Colocation options. Their colo services are not a barebones rack rental—they come with optional remote hands, network-enabled PDUs, KVM access, and ongoing SLA-backed monitoring and management. Customers can use their own hardware or lease enterprise-grade equipment from Network Presence with full admin rights.

Tailored Solutions and Open Source Emphasis

Network Presence is particularly strong for open-source environments. Their "Appliance Hosting" solution allows clients to quickly spin up pre-configured Linux servers with MySQL/Postgres, CMS platforms, or file sharing solutions—all optimized for performance and deployed with optional admin assistance.
In contrast to most commoditized hosting providers, Network Presence thrives by offering bespoke configurations, direct engineering support, and transparent, expert-level service for those who need more than just a cPanel and a helpdesk.
