Best Webhosting

We’ve been in the web building business for almost ten years and we’ve used a lot of dodgy, unreliable web hosting providers in that time. We know only too well the frustration and loss of time and money it causes. It’s also important to know you don’t have to pay hundreds of dollars a month for web hosting, especially if you’re just wanting a small 5 page website. Most small business operators don’t need super expensive hosting with all the bells and whistles either. Here are three of the best Australian web hosting providers we recommend:

Crucial Paradigm

A fully Australian Owned and Operated hosting company, Cruial Paradigm offers cheap and reliable web hosting for home and business users. You also get 24/7 email support and most plans include phone support as well. Your site will be setup in an Australian based datacentre which means your site will load faster for Australian customers and you’ll also get the SEO benefits of hosting an Australian based site in Australia.

Crucial Paradigm currently hosts more than 12,000 websites and manages more than 450 servers worldwide which should give you peace of mind. The company, which has been in business since 2003, has hosting plans starting at $15 per month and free setup. Students can also get fast, reliable hosting for just $20 per year.
