Fully managed website hosting.

Our website hosting is a fully managed website hosting service. This means we take care of the technical parts of your website hosting service, so that you can focus on other aspects of your website and business. If something does go wrong with the host, you can feel reassured knowing that we're there to quickly take care of it (with no unexpected costs).

 

What Is Website Hosting?

The website host is where the website sits. In its most simplest form, there would be a computer in a data centre - with your website on it.

What Is Managed Hosting?

Our managed hosting service provides the hosting space, plus several important layers of service, monitoring and support to make sure that your website runs well.

Why Use Managed Hosting?

In short, peace of mind. Our managed hosting provides you with reliable server security, maintenance and support at a predictable price.

 

What often happens with non-managed hosting is a website is deployed and no-one is maintaining the server. The website owner either thinks nothing needs to be done, or that the web developer is looking after it. After a while, performance degrades, or worse, the server security hasn't been updated - opening up the website to potential vulnerabilities.

 
 

What do we actually do?

Server management can be hard and time-consuming. We have the experience to deploy and maintain the server's security and performance. We've also layered on extra services that other hosting environments don't include, to keep your website running tip-top - all part of the monthly hosting plan.

 

Australian Hosting.

Speed matters, so we locate our web server in Sydney, Australia to provide fast, reliable website performance for your Australian customers.

Setup + Deployment.

We set up the hosting space, install your website, delegate the domain name to point to the new server and test the deployment after the site goes live.

Server Monitoring.

We scan the server in search of any irregularities or potential failures and fix any problems before they develop into major issues or service disruption.

Security Updates.

We maintain the security of the server, including operating system patches and updates, virus scanning, spam filtering and firewall configuration.

Back-ups + Roll-backs.

We provide nightly back-ups (rolling for 7 days) and off-site back-ups every 2 months. Made a mistake and need a roll-back? We do the roll-backs for you at no charge.

Hardware Upgrades.

We like fast, shiny new things as much as you do. We upgrade the server's hardware components when new, improved options become available.

Performance Maintenance.

We take care of the day-to-day running and maintenance of the server to ensure that it is running optimally, fine-tuning server settings and upgrading server software when updates become available.

Local Support.

One of the biggest benefits of managed hosting is that – if there ever is an issue with the server or your hosted email – there is qualified support on hand via phone or email to assist you.

Optional WP Updates.

If we're hosting your Wordpress site, we can run your Wordpress Core and Wordpress plugin updates for you, offering you complete peace of mind knowing that your website is being kept secure.

Outbound Spam Protection.

We use a third-party system that prevents the server from getting black-listed if you inadvertently start sending out spam emails.

Managed Email.

We provide managed email services as part of the hosting package. We can add/remove email accounts for you, setup forwarders, email autoresponders, email redirections and setup webmail.

Email Fallback

We provide another off-site server - if the main server goes offline, your incoming emails will be sent to the fallback server, and then sent to you when it's back online.

What are the benefits of managed hosting?

Reduced cost of operation.

Not all businesses can justify the cost of the hardware and full-time expertise required to manage hosting in-house. The cost can often outweigh the benefits. Our managed hosting service is the next best thing. It is a more effective IT solution where the costs are distributed and shared across all of our hosting clients.

Get more for less.

Because the costs are distributed, you get more than just a web host; more than just a box. We are able to build in extra redundancies (such as dual SSDs and Fallback Email Servers) and layer on extra support services and expertise that give you peace of mind, knowing that everything that should be done, is being done.

Managed hosting plans.

Our hosting plans are generally well resourced for most websites (we love fast loading sites!), so the main thing to consider is the size of the SSD Storage Space that you will need. Not sure how much space you need? Get in touch and we can help you work it out. With simple, transparent pricing across all plans and reliable customer support if you need it, you'll always feel confident with our Australian managed website hosting. All prices are in Australian Dollars and include GST.

These discounted audit offers are only available to clients that have moved on to our server (or during the migration process) to ensure that our managed hosting clients get the very best performance and security outcomes. All prices include GST.

 

Simplifying the technical bits.

In Short...

While there's a lot to consider when choosing the right managed hosting plan, the main thing is to think about the size of your SSD storage space. Depending on the size of your website, you should choose a plan that has more space than you need, but not an excessive amount of space (why pay for what you don't use?).

Most new Wordpress builds (if we build the website) would start on the Startup or Basics plan and only upgrade if required. For migrated sites, we can take a look at your existing setup and the resources you're currently using and recommend a plan to suit your needs.

 

SSD Storage.

Solid State Drives (SSD) are the backbone of any good server. Think of them as the space where the website sits. The bigger your website, the more space it will take up, and the more SSD Storage it will need.

Older servers use Hard Disk Drives (HDD), but SSDs are much faster and more efficient at serving up websites. Any good modern server should be using SSDs. Our server uses dual SSDs (one SSD is a mirror of the other), so if one fails the other will continue to serve the websites until the first SSD can be replaced. Built in redundancies like this make our server extremely reliable.

Bandwidth.

Bandwidth is the amount of data being sent over a month. The more traffic you have, or the bigger the website, the more bandwidth you may require.

99% of our clients use less than 20GB of bandwidth, meaning that even our Startup and Basics managed hosting plans are more than enough for most websites.

RAM (Memory).

RAM is the memory of the server. If there's not enough memory, and you're getting a lot of traffic, it would be like making visitors wait in line to receive your website - and no one should have to wait!

Our hosting plans have more than enough RAM for a typical Wordpress website - 2GB is plenty for a well built website.

CPU Cores.

CPU Cores are the server's processors. The higher the number of CPU Cores, the more processing power your server will have.

One CPU Core provides a moderate amount of processing power, suitable for typical websites built on Wordpress, however our managed hosting plans start with two CPU Cores to allow for any spikes in traffic.

Free SSL.

All websites require an SSL Certificate (it shows up as a green padlock in the browser's URL) to show that a site is verified.

We supply a FREE basic SSL as part of the hosting plan, that is suitable for most websites. If you do buy a different SSL, we can install it for you - all part of the managed hosting service.

Australian website hosting.

Our managed hosting servers are based in Sydney, Australia to ensure the very best website performance for your Australian customers.

Why Host Your Website In Australia?

Speed matters. Cheap offshore hosting can add 2-3 seconds loading time in Australia for most sites (for bigger sites it can be even more!). No-one likes waiting for a slow website - it can cause frustration for visitors and a drop-off in conversions.

Google uses website speed as one element of its ranking algorithm - Google likes fast websites too! All other things being equal between your website and a competitor's, if your website loads faster, it should rank higher in Google Search.

If most (or all) of your website visitors are in Australia, you should host with a fast, local web host.

Superior Sydney-based Support.

Our support team is based here in Sydney too. When you actually need assistance with something, you don't want the hassle of waiting in a queue for an offshore call centre.

Get personal hosting support from our support team via email or phone. Our team are highly trained, they're also the Designers and Development Engineers who design and build most of the websites we host. They typically have a long understanding of your website, a deep knowledge of your hosting requirements and a personal attachment to seeing your website succeed.

That's just so much better than a faceless offshore call centre.

Wordpress Optimised Hosting.

Our managed hosting service is designed to work well with Wordpress websites.

New Wordpress Websites.

Websites built by Jimmyweb

When we build a new Wordpress website, our developers build with Speed and Security - front of mind.

All of the Wordpress websites that we design, build and host come with a suite of extra security plugins installed and set up by default - such as Wordfence, Secuuri, and our own Version Monitor plugin.

Our server has also been optimized to work well with WP Rocket Cache, another plugin that we install by default on websites that we build. WP Rocket Cache is the best caching plugin for Wordpress available. The website is also speed tested at the time of launch, with measures taken to ensure the best possible load times.

Existing Wordpress Websites.

Websites Migrating to Jimmyweb

Before migrating your existing Wordpress website to our server, we would review your site for any speed issues and perform Wordpress speed optimisation of your website, as well as any required plugin updates, and provide an estimate for how much it would cost to take care of these issues (this would be a separate cost, as we didn't build the site).

We will migrate your Wordpress website to our server and install Wordfence, WP Rocket Cache and WP Version Monitor. These plugins help us to keep your website secure and running fast. And if you agree, we will make the speed improvements.

Once the site is completely up to date, we can schedule regular Wordpress Core and plugin updates (optional, but recommended) as part of the managed hosting service.

WP Wordfence.

Wordfence is the best security plugin for WordPress websites, and we include the Free Wordfence plugin on your website as part of the managed hosting service, helping us to maintain your website's security.

WP Rocket Cache.

WP Rocket Cache gives your website an ultra-fast load time, essential for improving Search Engine Optimization and increasing conversions. We install WP Rocket Cache for you for as part of your managed hosting plan (saving you $39/year).

WP Version Monitor.

We've built our own Wordpress plugin that allows us to monitor the version numbers of WP Core and the Wordpress Plugins on our hosting clients' websites. Our plugin then alerts us when your website needs plugin and security updates.

Optional WP Updates.

In order to keep your website running fast and maintain a secure Wordpress website, we can run regular scheduled Wordpress Core and plugin updates for your website - while this is optional, it is highly recommended.

 

Beyond Wordpress Hosting.

We are more than just a managed Wordpress hosting provider. We can help with all of your Wordpress development, general custom web design and web development needs.

We can build new features and functionality, design a new custom Wordpress website or tweak/update your current theme, upgrade the site to WooCommerce, integrate with other systems and even help with simple tasks like adding images and content to your Wordpress site. Get in touch for a quote for any of these additional services.
