*📜 Plan description

M365 Business Basic is positioned as an online only entry point into Microsoft 365 for organisations that want professional mailboxes and core cloud services without paying for desktop app licences. This plan includes one professional email address per user on Exchange Online with a 50 GB mailbox and access to Outlook and the other Office apps via web browsers and mobile apps rather than full desktop installations. Users also receive 1 TB of OneDrive storage for each licence so they can store and share documents in the cloud while collaborating with colleagues in real time. The pricing grid shows a discounted rate of 13.44 AUD per month for a one year term with a total of 161.28 AUD payable upfront for the first year and a renewal amount based on a standard monthly rate of 16.80 AUD per user. Business Basic is a good fit for teams that mostly work in the browser or on mobile devices and that want enterprise grade email and storage together with Teams based meetings and collaboration but do not require installable Office applications on every computer.

All Microsoft 365 plans sold through Webcentral combine hosted Exchange email with the wider Microsoft cloud productivity platform so that staff have a consistent set of tools for communication and collaboration. Each user receives a 50 GB mailbox with support for custom domains plus 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage for personal files and document libraries making it easy to keep work accessible across desktops laptops and mobile devices. Depending on the tier organisations can enable access to web and mobile Office apps or full installable desktop applications along with Microsoft Teams for chat meetings and webinars so internal and external communication remains coordinated. Licences are provisioned and managed through the Webcentral control panel while the underlying services run in Microsoft data centres giving customers the resilience and compliance benefits of the global Microsoft 365 platform with local Australian billing and support. Webcentral assists with migration from existing providers helps configure DNS records and offers guidance on client setup reducing the complexity of moving email and documents into the cloud. Customers benefit from the provider wide 30 day money back guarantee on eligible annual plans around the clock support via phone live chat and helpdesk and the ability to scale seats up or down as staffing changes while keeping their data protected by Microsofts security features and regional data residency options where available.

📄 Editorial Review

Webcentral is an Australian web solutions provider with roots going back to 1997, when it began operating as Netregistry and quickly became a popular choice for local businesses looking for affordable domains and hosting. Today it operates under the Webcentral brand as part of the Webcentral Group, positioning itself as Australia’s largest and most experienced domain name registrar with accreditation for both Australian and international extensions. The focus is clearly on Australian small and medium-sized businesses, start-ups and side projects that want local infrastructure, local support and a single provider for domains, hosting, email and associated digital services.

From a product perspective, Webcentral covers most of the classic hosting categories. On the domain side, it offers registration and management for a wide range of TLDs, including .au, .com.au and other Australian extensions, as well as global names like .com, .net and .org. Domain transfer services and SSL certificates are integrated, so customers can keep domain, DNS and certificate management under one account.

The core hosting portfolio centres on shared hosting, WordPress hosting, cPanel hosting, reseller hosting, VPS and virtual dedicated servers. Standard shared hosting is presented as simple, reliable "Web Hosting" plans aimed at small sites and business websites, with unlimited bandwidth, databases, daily backups and built-in security features such as DDoS protection and SSL. cPanel hosting targets users who want more control, pairing the familiar cPanel interface with LiteSpeed web server optimisation, AMD EPYC processors and NVMe SSD storage in an Australian data centre. WordPress hosting and managed WordPress hosting push this further for content-driven sites, adding WordPress-specific tooling such as staging, cloning, automatic updates and performance optimisation, plus security hardening and daily backups.

For more demanding workloads, Webcentral offers Linux and Windows VPS hosting (both unmanaged and managed) as well as fully managed Virtual Dedicated Servers. VPS plans provide full root access, the option to choose server location and operating system, and support for multiple control panels including cPanel, Plesk, Webmin, CyberPanel and aaPanel. Virtual Dedicated Servers are positioned as a step up for businesses needing dedicated resources and managed infrastructure, with Webcentral handling operating system maintenance, patches, monitoring and security. These services are complemented by email and collaboration products (Professional Email, Business Email and Microsoft 365), which allow customers to integrate domain-branded email and productivity tools into the same ecosystem.

Beyond core hosting, Webcentral also sells a set of website and digital services that make it more of a full-service provider than a pure infrastructure host. An AI Website Builder is available for users who want a fast, no-code way to launch a site, and there is a "Website Design by Experts" offering for custom WordPress builds managed by an in-house team. Security services extend beyond standard hosting protections into specialised website security bundles, and the "Marketing Radar" product provides competitor and brand-monitoring tools that sit on top of hosting and domains to support ongoing digital marketing.

Webcentral uses local Australian infrastructure and support teams in Melbourne and Brisbane for hosting and domains, with 24/7 availability via live chat and an extensive knowledge base.

Overall, Webcentral comes across as a mature, broad-spectrum provider for Australian businesses that want everything from domain registration and basic shared hosting through to managed VPS and virtual dedicated servers, with additional layers for security, email, Microsoft 365 and marketing tools. The tone is informal and approachable, but the underlying portfolio and infrastructure are notably extensive for a regionally focused host.
