Web24

What Web24 does

Web24 is an Australian VPS, web hosting, and cloud hosting provider founded in 2001 and headquartered in Mount Waverley, Australia, operating as a regional brand under Newfold Digital Inc. (formerly Web.com). The company serves approximately 5,000 Australian SMBs and IT professionals with a product portfolio spanning Linux VPS (from $11/month) and Windows VPS (from $72/month), enterprise-grade VMware-based virtual servers with no setup fee, dedicated servers, cloud web hosting on cPanel and Plesk, reseller hosting, domain registration, Comodo SSL certificates, and managed services (Web24 Management Pack, R1Soft-powered backups). Infrastructure runs on VMware virtualization with SSD storage, supporting distributions including CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, and Windows Server 2019, with scalable plans up to 128GB of RAM and a one-click application installer (Softaculous) for CMS and eCommerce platforms.

The company monetizes exclusively through subscription billing (monthly and annual) distributed via direct-to-consumer channels — its own website, phone sales (1300 493 224), and a customer self-service portal — with quote-based pricing for enterprise deployments. GTM is hybrid across geography (Australian SMBs requiring .au domains and local support) and persona (IT professionals and developers needing VMware and multi-OS control). Web24 does not disclose revenue, headcount detail beyond a 1–10 employee range, funding history, or named customer logos. The company previously operated under the AusWeb brand and maintains an extensive (200+ article, largely 2010–2016 dated) tutorial library that supports organic search acquisition. Competitive positioning is built on Australian localization, VMware access without in-house expertise requirements, and a bundled hosting-plus-add-on model rather than proprietary technology or AI capabilities.
