When You Need More Than the Basics
If your WordPress site is slow, crashes under traffic, or limits what you can do — you’ve outgrown your basic WordPress hosting service.
Custom hosting makes sense when you need:
-
High performance for busy sites or eCommerce
-
Custom plugins, complex themes, or integrations
-
Stronger security, backups, and uptime guarantees
-
Australian-based support that actually responds
