Business web hosting
Managed hosting for a business website. The server is our job. The website is yours. The price is on the page rather than at the end of a phone call.

What managed hosting means here
Your website needs a server that is switched on, patched and answering. That is the part we run. You keep the website itself: the pages, the platform it is built on, and what goes on them.
It suits a normal business website. It is not the right home for an application that needs its own machine.
The server is not your problem
Keeping the machine running is our job, not a task on your list.
Hosted in Australia
The hosting is in Australia, and the person who sells it is the person who runs it.
Priced before you ask
Hosting starts from $27.50 a month. One number, on the page, before you talk to anyone.
All prices are in AUD and ex GST. Indicative. Your fixed quote comes after a free consult.
The limits, before you find them yourself
Shared hosting has no root access. That is what makes it managed. If your application has to install its own software on the machine, hosting is the wrong product and a cloud server is the right one.
You also need a domain name pointed at the hosting. Domain names start from $22 a year.
Alien Cloud sells the space. If you need someone to plan it, run it or fix it, that is Alien IT. Building the website itself is a different job again.
Need root on the machine? Cloud servers start from $88 a month.
Questions worth asking before you move a website
What does business web hosting cost?
Hosting starts from $27.50 a month. All prices are in AUD and ex GST. Indicative. Your fixed quote comes after a free consult.
What does managed mean here?
It means the server is our job and the website is yours. You do not patch the machine or keep the web server running.
Do I get root access?
No. Shared hosting has no root access, by design. If your application needs root, buy a cloud server instead, from $88 a month.
Do I need a domain name as well?
Yes. A website needs a domain name pointed at the hosting. Domain names start from $22 a year.
Can you move my existing website across?
Moving it yourself onto hosting bought here is fine. A managed move, where someone else does it and owns the outcome, is a project, and projects are Alien IT rather than Alien Cloud.
Where is the hosting?
In Australia, and the person who sells it is the person who runs it.
