Any experience or advice on australian web hosting. I am looking for australian physical servers, but also affordability is something I am interested in. I am after shared web hosting.

Thanks

My suggestions would be to look to look at Netlogistics at http://www.netlogistics.com.au They have fantastic support - second to none - but aren't super cheap.

NETLOGISTICS look bit expensive?

Matt, are you running any of your sites on their servers?

Australian hosting services are always more expensive than US. Its the same with all other services. I mean our broadband is the most expensive in the world.

Hi Max SEO,

Yes I am running or in some way involved in quite a number of sites on Netlogistics servers, although I also have sites with other providers.

Basically I'm involved in two sites that have separate accounts with them which are paid for directly by the clients themselves.
I also have more recently signed up with a 10 domain reseller account with them which works out better value provided sites don't have massive requirements. This currently has around 5 different sites on it and it runs really well - the server it's on generally sits at around 1-2% cpu usage so they definitely are not overselling their capacity unlike some.

The other company I would consider is Digital Pacific at http://www.digitalpacific.com.au/ - The next reseller account I set up will be with them as it's not good to have all eggs in one basket and they are also very good from my more limited experience with them.

I've also used a few others, none have been good enough to promote nor bad enough to shame. Pricing for Australian based hosting is obviously much more expensive than offshore, it depends what you are using it for. Reseller hosting there is less gap between the two than there is for single hosting accounts Aus vs Offshore. If you are running an international focus site or something on a budget trying to make money from affiliate stuff, then hosting in the USA or even Singapore is the way to go. If you are however doing sites for Aussie businesses, most are more than happy to pay $20 or so a month without blinking, and it's just not worth the hassle of doing it offshore in these cases.

According to my experience recently i got the account in this site goresellers.com as a reseller & got the hosting services at cheap cost & got nice solution ..

Hightek hosting isnt bad and its not too bad in pricing. It has the fastest lag time i've seen.

if your looking for multiple sites on the one account, consider aussiehost.com - they have a good reputation AFAIK. I'm hosting 20+ sites on one account - no problems in 8 months.

We can offer you Australian hosting.
