Everything that matters when choosing a host for an Australian website, in plain English.
Most small sites only need shared or WordPress hosting. Website builders are easiest but less flexible.
VentraIP's promo applies to the first invoice of a new hosting purchase (up to one year). Hostinger's lowest price needs a 48-month prepay and renews higher.
.com.au names require an Australian presence, such as an ABN. Domain and email can be bought from the same provider for simplicity.
When your site goes down at 9pm, an Australian-based team helps. VentraIP's ProductReview rating (4.9 from 1,934 reviews) is driven largely by support.
