Best Web Hosting Australia March 2020
Your No 1 source for Australian Web Hosting Reviews
Our mission here at Web Hosting Jury is to help Australian’s find the best web host that suits their particular needs. It is an absolute jungle out there with web hosts so let us be your guide. I am a Perth born entrepreneur and web enthusiast who started reviewing web hosts in 2002 after getting hit by a bandwidth overuse bill from an Australian web host (let’s not mention names) of over $1000 for one month. This was for a community website that was not generating any revenue at the time. Back then I quickly realised that hosting with a web host in Australia was just not viable due to the bandwidth charges at the time. I shifted my website to a US-based web host. This is what started my quest to find the best web hosts, review them and make the whole process much easier.
Since then I have hosted 100’s of different websites on different hosts. I have been invited by many of the top web hosts to tour their facilities and go behind the scenes to understand their operations.
While almost everything about hosting and running a website has changed since 2002 the fundamentals of a good host are still the same: Ultra-reliable servers located in the right places, accessible and knowledgeable customer support and competitive pricing.
This website has been created specifically for Australians to find the best host. I have looked at both Australian and overseas-based web hosts to find the right balance of reliability, server speed, customer support and pricing.
Our Top 5 Overall Best Hosts

HostGator
HostGator is one of the most popular names in the hosting industry. Founded in 2002, by Brent Oxley, who was a young college kid at the time, the company grew to the point where it landed its official office in Huston, Texas. However, the company’s early days were spent in Canada, but they moved to Huston as a step in the direction of growth, something which highlights the demand for quality hosting services at that time. Quality hosting is still in high demand which is why HostGator continues to lead via innovation. The company later opened offices in Austin, Texas and then expanded into Brazil. Since then, the company has been on a consistent upward trajectory. One of the biggest reasons why HostGator has done so well where many have failed is its attention to providing what people want. The company focuses a lot of attention on upgrading existing equipment offering multiple service packages and lots of upgradability. That means a person who starts with a basic or startup package can easily grow into more products which will be beneficial to their service or products. That expandability means that website owners don’t need to switch hosting to get the service they want. Australian website owners will find that HostGator offers more than any other hosting service provider catering to the country. That means Australians just like any users in any other part of the world can use the full breadth of HostGator’s services without any hindrance. Furthermore, efficient technical assistance means that clients aren’t left high and dry in the event of a problem. We’ll get to these and other features that make HostGator a top choice for all people in this review.
