What Perth Web Hosting does

Perth Web Hosting is a privately held, founder-owned web hosting and email hosting provider founded in 2008 and headquartered in Perth, Western Australia. The company operates cPanel-based Linux web hosting on high-availability infrastructure located in the Next DC P2 data center in Perth City, serving small to medium businesses, web designers, marketing agencies, IT resellers, and not-for-profit and education organizations across Western Australia. Its core technical stack combines cPanel with LiteSpeed caching, JetBackup 5 (automated off-site backups every six hours), SpamExperts mail filtering, and Softaculous/WordPress Manager tooling, with Microsoft 365/Exchange Online offered as a partner-resold email option.

The product portfolio spans shared cPanel web hosting (entry tier from $6.95/month exGST), Semi-Managed WordPress hosting ($24.95/month), cPanel Reseller hosting ($49.95/month) for agencies and IT resellers, cPanel IMAP/POP3 email, and Microsoft 365 per-seat licensing. Adjacent services include domain registration, virtual private servers, WordPress/web design services, and assisted migration. Revenue is generated primarily through monthly recurring subscriptions with discounts for annual prepayment, supplemented by professional services billed at $119/hour exGST for fault-related work and a $79 minimum for assisted migrations. The company claims 99.99% uptime over the last four years.

Distribution and customer acquisition are direct-to-consumer: customers sign up via the company website, with telephone and email support routed through a local Perth team (08 6365 4522, [email protected]). Marketing is largely organic — website, Facebook, Twitter, and a support wiki that doubles as content marketing. The firm emphasizes local ownership, 16+ years of operating history, and a free no-downtime migration service as primary acquisition levers. Public customer references include small businesses (Allduro, GTurbo, Jacksons Drawing Supplies), healthcare (Lions Eye Institute, Bullcreek Podiatry), education (North Metro TAFE), and nonprofits (Guide Dogs WA, Nations Church, Transform Cambodia). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company has no disclosed external investors.
