Managed Joomla Hosting

Our servers are based in Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia. We have been hosting our websites domestically for over 15 years now.

No! We are very strict on this. While we offer monthly, quarterly and annual payment options, we do not believe you should be tricked in to a long contract that you may not be happy with. We also do not offer first year only pricing tricks! This is just another antic employed to race every competitor to $0 hosting.

We do not believe in overselling. It is a very common technique where companies will offer you 10's if not 100's of gigabytes of storage for next to nothing. Ultimately they over promise but when you look at the fine print, they only really offer a fraction of that due to some hidden rule. We try to keep the offerings as simple and as transparent as they should be.

It is the level of support and the environment your site is hosted. If you are someone who just wants their site hosted, not have to do updates to the software and your website optimized for performance, then this is the service for you. If you don't mind getting in there and saving a few bucks then check out our Shared Linux Hosting Plans.

Great question! There is a few big differences. Before we get in to the key reasons, we are a smaller hosting provider in the scheme of things and we do have our own infrastructure like the bigger companies. We also operate another side to the business that is a digital agency. This digital agency is called Suncoast Web Solutions and offers the full suite of website design, website development and internet marketing services. When we combine both businesses we essentially become a full service digital agency.

1. We are one of the most experienced in the industry. We have been hosting websites since 1999!
2. The first is the fact that we will not oversell. We hate this as it gives customers a false sense of security and value.
3. We have dedicated team members with specific skillsets. This means we have dedicated WordPress Developers, Designers and Server Support people working on each aspect of a clients service.
4. We have also been hosting websites since 1999, this is well before cloud servers and technology became available. There are very few organisations that can claim this today. Not even Google Cloud, Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure can claim this.

A lot of hosting providers still use bare metal drives (older hard drive technology) in their servers or cloud platforms and a few are starting to offer this and are promoting this as a feature. We promote it as a feature but we have had this as a standard with SSD drives since 2012 and NVMe storage since 2021. Flash based storage does make a big difference in performance locally on each server. Without getting too technical, Bare Metal Drives will achieve data read/write speeds of 80-160MB/s. SSD Drives can achieve read/write speeds up to 600 MB/s. NVMe can reach a read/write speed of 7,000 MB/s / 5,100 MB/s.

We have the most available in the industry! We accept payment via Direct Debit, Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard & AMEX), PayPal and Bitcoin. Most others will only offer 1 or 2 of the 4.

Unlike regular hosting, managed Joomla hosting is specifically optimized for Joomla websites. It includes specialized support, automatic updates, security features tailored for Joomla, and faster performance.

Managed Joomla hosting offers benefits such as enhanced security, automatic updates, expert support, improved performance, scalability, and backups, relieving users from technical tasks and allowing them to focus on their websites.

Managed Joomla hosting is recommended for Joomla websites with high traffic, businesses, e-commerce sites, or users who prefer hands-off management and want to ensure optimal performance, security, and support for their websites.

Yes you can, however, we offer FREE migration services to help you seamlessly transfer your existing Joomla site to our platform.

Our Managed WordPress hosting is backed with support from Joomla specialists who have been working on Joomla based websites since its original release in August 2005. In fact we were one of the very first custom template builders for Joomla templates in Australia... Our team can assist with technical issues, optimization, troubleshooting, and advice on Joomla-related items.

Yes, our managed Joomla hosting is scalable, allowing you to easily upgrade your hosting plan to accommodate increases in traffic, storage, or other resource requirements as your website grows.

Yes, of course! You can install Extensions, Modules, Plugins and Themes on managed Joomla hosting, but it's recommended to choose reputable ones from trusted sources to ensure compatibility, security, and performance. If you do get stuck though, you can reach out to our team for extra support and we will happily assist where we can. It may however incur an additional fee if there is extensive configuration and changes to your sites design needed.
