🌐 FAQWeb hosting & domains: your questions, answered
Straight answers to the questions and worries people have before they buy.
Is VentraIP Australian?
Yes. VentraIP describes itself as the largest privately owned digital service provider in Australia, with Sydney-based hosting and 24/7 Australian support.
Why do hosting prices jump at renewal?
Intro prices are discounts for the first invoice or term. VentraIP's Business Entry standard price is $11/mo, and Hostinger Premium renews at $15.89/mo.
Do I need Australian hosting for an Australian website?
It isn't required, but servers in Sydney usually load faster for local visitors, and local support keeps the same hours as you.
Can I get a .com.au domain?
You need an Australian presence, for example an ABN or a registered business.
Is SSL included?
Both VentraIP and Hostinger include free SSL certificates on their hosting plans.
Will they move my existing site?
VentraIP offers free migrations. Check the current terms with any host before switching.
