📄 Editorial Review

Velocity Host is an Australian hosting and IT provider operating through Velocity Host Pty Ltd. The company is Australian-owned and operated, with its current registered office in Bondi Junction, New South Wales, and a postal address in Mount Beauty, Victoria. The recorded founding year is 2007, with a 2-10 employee range and headquarters in Kilsyth, Victoria. The active private-company registration uses ABN 18 609 902 776 from December 21, 2015, while an older SLA still carries ABN 17 396 833 552. Those records indicate a corporate-history change or legacy document that should be clarified when a contracting entity matters.

Gerardo Altman is managing director and "Director of Problem Solving," with more than 25 years in IT and a solutions-architect role. Online work dates back to 1998, and the WordPress development practice dates to 2005. The team includes Ed Cassin, David Sorauer, Janet Kay, Noe Rivera Santamaria and Gerard Thomas in technical, SEO, administrative and support roles. The business serves small and medium businesses, corporate organisations and government customers, with a strong Australian data-residency focus and English-language service pages.

The core range covers shared hosting, reseller hosting, custom VPS and VDS services, domain registration, professional email, managed WordPress, managed servers, cloud backup, Nextcloud, disaster recovery, TrueNAS storage, Proxmox virtualisation and spam filtering. Velocity Digital adds WordPress website design, e-commerce builds, SEO and WordPress maintenance. The company also offers managed IT support and desktop-as-a-service, although those are broader IT engagements rather than ordinary web-hosting plans.

The standard hosting packages use cPanel/WHM, LiteSpeed Enterprise, CloudLinux, Imunify360 with CSX, automated CMS installation, Matomo private analytics, Acronis backups and per-account resource controls. The Startup, Established and Pro shared plans are aimed respectively at small sites, growing business sites and stores with larger catalogues. Startup provides 1 vCPU, 512 MB RAM, 10 GB SSD storage, 250 GB IP transit, 3 MB/s I/O and unlimited databases at $6.60 per month excluding GST. Established increases the allocation to 2 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD, 500 GB IP transit and 6 MB/s I/O for $13.20 per month. Pro provides 2 vCPU, 3 GB RAM, 30 GB SSD, 1,000 GB IP transit and 9 MB/s I/O for $26.40 per month. Additional websites can be added under the primary cPanel account, but separate plans are recommended when each site needs independent performance.

The hosting stack includes caged account environments, CloudLinux LVE resource isolation, LiteSpeed, adaptive firewall and intrusion detection, Imunify malware scanning, free automated SSL, staging and production cloning, SFTP and SSH access, Git, WP-CLI and Drush. Every cPanel account receives nightly Acronis backups with 14 restore points and self-service restoration. The company separates email from web servers through its separate Velocity Mail platform, which is intended to keep a mail problem from slowing the website environment.

The managed WordPress range is deliberately less crowded than ordinary shared hosting, with a stated maximum of 20 accounts per server. Start Up costs $129 per month excluding GST and is intended for up to 1,000 monthly visitors or a store with 100 products. Established costs $159 for up to 5,000 visitors or 300 products, while Pro costs $195 for larger sites and stores with 600 or more products. Each plan includes one website, a managed development site, cPanel/WHM, LiteSpeed Enterprise, Redis Object Cache, CloudLinux, Imunify360, Matomo analytics, Acronis backups, local self-service backups with 14 retention points and off-site disaster-recovery storage of 100 GB, 200 GB or 300 GB respectively. WordPress core and plugin updates, security hardening, PHP compatibility checks, malware monitoring, performance tuning, backup restoration and monthly reporting are part of the managed service; content editing, product uploads and general web development are excluded.

The reseller range is split between shared cPanel reseller accounts and dedicated-resource VPS reseller accounts. Shared Startup, Established and Pro plans cost $18, $30 and $50 per month excluding GST. They provide 6, 12 or 18 cPanel accounts, 2, 4 or 6 vCPU, 3, 6 or 9 GB RAM, 30, 60 or 90 GB SSD storage and 600, 900 or 1,200 GB IP transit. Each includes WHM, LiteSpeed, CloudLinux, Imunify360, automated CMS installs, Acronis backups and 14 self-service retention points. The dedicated VPS reseller tier costs $352.90, $492.78 or $715.30 per month excluding GST. It raises the allocation to 30, 100 or 200 cPanel accounts, 4, 6 or 8 vCPU, 8, 16 or 32 GB RAM, 160, 320 or 640 GB SSD storage and 2,500, 3,000 or 3,500 GB IP transit. White-label branding, private nameservers and client-level cPanel logins make the range suitable for agencies and managed-service providers.

Velocity Mail is a separate SmarterMail-based email environment. Startup costs $9.90 per month for up to three users and 45 GB pooled SSD storage, Established costs $39.60 for up to 12 users and 180 GB, and Pro costs $108.90 for up to 21 users and 315 GB. All three include unlimited mailboxes, webmail, POP/IMAP, aliases, calendars, contacts, tasks, notes, resource mailboxes and voice/video conferencing. Optional archiving and MAPI/ActiveSync licenses are priced separately. Secondary MX servers queue mail during a primary-server outage, while Cyren antivirus, SpamAssassin, greylisting, reputation block lists and custom allow/deny rules protect the mail flow. The service is hosted in Melbourne and is designed to keep email under Australian privacy law.

The VPS and VDS range spans a broad current catalogue. VDS 1, VDS 4 and VDS 16 provide 1, 4 or 16 GB RAM, 1, 2 or 6 vCPU, 25, 80 or 320 GB SSD storage and 500 GB, 2 TB or 3 TB transfer for $7.70, $30.80 and $123.20 per month excluding GST. The KVM VPS dedicated-compute table ranges from 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB SSD and 2 TB transfer at $46.20 to 192 GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 3,840 GB SSD and 6 TB transfer at $1,871.10 per month. A shared-compute KVM table starts at 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 50 GB SSD and 1 TB transfer for $15.40 and reaches 192 GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 3,840 GB SSD and 6 TB transfer for $1,478.40. Optional monthly backup charges are shown for the shared-compute rows, from $4.50 to $345.60.

The virtual-server environment offers local ZFS SSD storage, full root access, Linux or Windows choices, DDoS protection, proactive monitoring, dedicated resource allocations on VDS, and control-panel options. A separate managed-server service covers VPS, VDS and physical servers for $110 per month including GST. It includes setup, security hardening, monthly operating-system patching, 24x7 emergency support for critical outages, nightly managed backups retained for 14 days and resource monitoring, but managed VPS customers do not receive full root access.

Domain registration supports search, registration, transfer, bulk transfers, auto-renewal and dashboard management, including a registration certificate. Current domain pricing is available through the client portal rather than listed with the public offer. The company also offers Managed Nextcloud on a dedicated Australian instance: the BYO-email plan is $80 per month excluding GST for up to five users, while the Nextcloud plus Velocity Mail bundle is $95. Both include file sync, storage, calendars, contacts, automated backups, HTTPS, security hardening and Australian support.

The KISS Open Source Cloud Backup service uses a simple storage-based model. Tiers are $90 per TB per month for 1-5 TB, $70 per TB for 5-9 TB and $50 per TB for 10 TB or more, all excluding GST. Storage and transfer are included, data is checked monthly for corruption, and the service supports desktop, NAS and physical or virtual server backups through SFTP, rsync, Syncthing, Rclone or native ZFS send/receive. Nightly snapshots are retained for seven days, ZFS scrubbing and snapshots support recovery, and a seed-loading option can ship hardware for large initial uploads. Data is stored in a Victorian Tier 4 facility, with shared, dedicated and reseller zones available.

Additional offerings include vPROTECT spam filtering at $150 per domain per year excluding GST, with a $300 one-time consulting and implementation fee. The Proxmox service has operated for more than six years and became a partner in 2022. It is built on Proxmox Mail Gateway and uses RBL checks, receiver verification, greylisting, SPF, SURBL, allow/deny lists, quarantine summaries and ClamAV scanning. Historical proof-of-concept dates of April 2024 and an end date in February 2025 remain in the vPROTECT information, so the current commercial status should be confirmed before ordering. TrueNAS hardware is scoped, supplied, configured and managed locally, from Mini systems to R, X and M Series appliances, with ZFS RAIDZ, immutable snapshots, S3-compatible storage, iSCSI, SMB/NFS, block replication and optional cloud replication. Proxmox Virtual Environment, Proxmox Backup Server and Proxmox Mail Gateway services extend the virtualisation and backup portfolio.

Velocity Digital builds responsive WordPress websites, e-commerce stores and SEO-ready projects in Australia. Website design packages range from simple five-page calling-card sites to larger business, catalogue and custom e-commerce builds. SEO starts at AUD $799 per month. WordPress maintenance costs $70 per month excluding GST, with monthly core and plugin updates, security and uptime monitoring, rollback of broken plugins and a $150 one-time health check when the site was not built by the company. Emergency work outside the maintenance plan is billed at $150 per hour with a 30-minute minimum.

The service is English-only, with prices in Australian dollars or dollar notation, generally excluding GST. Its infrastructure is operated locally, and customer data remains onshore under its data-residency policy. Status monitoring exposes public components for the Micron21 and Primus networks, shared hosting, control panels and DNS, with historical 90-day uptime readings of 100% for several services. Current content combines modern WordPress presentation with older long-running copy, so any plan or policy appearing in more than one version should be confirmed.
