Our key difference
Why do we do this?
Because a website is only as good as the server it runs on. We build websites and run the servers they live on, so we know how to set both up to deliver your site as fast and reliably as possible. Having your hosting and your website in the same hands means that when something isn't working, we can see it and fix it properly, without waiting on anyone else.
- 01
Servers tuned for your site
We set up our own servers for WordPress, so your pages load fast for visitors and for Google.
- 02
Direct access, quicker fixes
With the hosting and the website in one place, we can overhaul what isn't working straight away. No chasing logins or a hosting company's support desk.
- 03
One team, no finger-pointing
Slow site or broken form? There's no back-and-forth between a host and a developer. It's us, and we sort it.
- 04
SEO that sticks
Speed, uptime, SSL and letting Google, Bing and AI search crawlers in all happen at the server. Because we control it, the optimisation we do on the move doesn't get undone.
- 05
Email that arrives
We run the mail service too, so DKIM and SPF are set up properly and your emails land in inboxes, not spam.
- 06
A safety net
Daily full backups, kept for 7 days, on servers we look after ourselves. If an update or change goes wrong, we can put it back quickly.

How much does SEO cost?
It depends on what your site needs, and most of the cost in SEO comes from fixing the basics. This offer does those basics properly once, when your site moves: speed, crawler access for Google, Bing and AI search, Search Console, sitemap and structured data. For many small businesses that's the part that matters most.
If you need more than that, call 03 8899 7868 and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it.

Questions about pricing
How much does SEO cost?
With us, full SEO and AI search optimisation is included when we move your WordPress site to our hosting: $1,000 + GST for the first year, hosting, SSL and 3 email accounts included. If you need ongoing SEO work beyond that, we will tell you honestly what it would take and whether it is worth it.
How much is WordPress hosting in Australia?
Ours is $400 + GST a year after the first year. That covers fast Australian hosting set up for WordPress, SSL, WordPress maintained, daily backups kept for 7 days and 3 email accounts.
Why is hosting bundled with SEO?
Because speed, uptime, SSL and crawler access are all decided at the server. We run the servers and build the websites, so we can tune both together and fix anything that is not working straight away, without waiting on a separate hosting company.
What happens after the first year?
Hosting renews at $400 + GST a year. That keeps your hosting, SSL, WordPress maintenance and 3 email accounts going.
Do the prices include GST?
No. With GST, the first year is $1,100 and hosting after that is $440 a year.
Is an SSL certificate included?
Yes. Every site on our hosting has SSL, so it loads over https with the padlock in the browser.
Can you move my existing email accounts?
Yes. We can migrate your previous email accounts, and we set up DKIM and SPF so your emails are trusted by other mail servers.
What if I need more than 3 email accounts?
Extra email accounts are $9 + GST each.
Will this get me to page one of Google?
No one can honestly guarantee that. What we can do is make your site fast, set up properly and easy for Google, Bing and AI search to read, which is the foundation every ranking is built on.
