Why people move here

The person who answers can fix it

phas is run by the developer who configures the servers. Your ticket goes to them, not to a queue that asks you to clear your cache.

The price on the page is the price

No introductory rate that doubles at renewal, no feature paywalls, no exit fees. Domains renew at the going rate and you hear the exact amount a week ahead.

Close to your visitors

Servers in Melbourne, support 8am–8pm Australian Eastern time, 7 days, and your sites under Australian privacy law.

Hosting plans

Same isolation, tools and support on every plan — pick by how much room you need. Add-ons and domains bill alongside on one card.

Free SSL on every plan. Free migration with any new plan. Prices in AUD, no GST charged. Compare plans in full.

A full control panel on every plan

Nothing is held back for a bigger plan. Open it from your dashboard, already signed in.

One-click installs

WordPress in a click, plus Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Moodle, Matomo and more.

PHP your way

Pick the PHP 8.x version per domain and change php.ini settings yourself.

Node.js, Python and Ruby

Run apps beyond PHP in the same container.

Databases

MySQL databases with phpMyAdmin, imports and a live process list.

One dashboard for the lot

Hosting, domains, DNS, backups, monitoring, billing and support live on the same account. These are real screens.

DNS on Cloudflare, edited here

Every domain gets a Cloudflare zone with a record editor that checks each record as you save it, plus SSL mode, redirects, a parked page and DNSSEC. Email forwarding is free on every domain.

Know before your customers do

Monitoring checks your sites every minute, tracks response time and certificate expiry, and emails you when a site goes down and again when it's back.

Security

Walled off and watched, on every plan.

One compromised site shouldn't take the rest with it, and a busy neighbour shouldn't slow yours down.

Isolation

Your own container

Rootless, with its own CPU and RAM limits, walled off from every other account.

Firewall

Web application firewall

The OWASP Core Rule Set in front of every site, tuned so WordPress and WooCommerce work.

SSL

Free SSL, renewed for you

Let's Encrypt certificates issue automatically and renew on their own.

Sign-in

Two-factor sign-in

Protect your account with an authenticator app, and see and revoke every signed-in device.

Monitoring

Servers watched 24/7

Infrastructure monitoring alerts us the moment a server or service misbehaves.

Backups

Encrypted off-site backups

Premium Backups keeps 30 days of daily copies away from the server, $10/mo or $120/yr. How it works

Live in three steps

One checkout for the domain, the plan and any add-ons.

  1. 01

    Find your domain

    Register a new name, or use one you already own — it can stay where it's registered.

  2. 02

    Pick a plan

    Monthly or yearly, paid by card. No contract, and you can upgrade in place later.

  3. 03

    Go live

    Your container is ready within minutes. Install WordPress in a click, or we'll move your site for free.

Already hosted somewhere else? Migration is free with any new plan — a person moves files, databases and DNS, you approve a preview, nothing goes dark.

How migration works

Common questions

Can I bring a domain I already own?

Yes. Keep it registered where it is and point it at us, or transfer it in. Hosting attaches to any domain at checkout, wherever it lives.

What happens when I outgrow my plan?

Upgrade yourself from the hosting page — the checkout pre-selects the next plan up, charges the prorated difference to your saved card, and your container resizes in place. Same server, no reinstall.

Are backups included?

Not in the base plan. Without it you need your own copies; Backup Wizard in the control panel makes one. Premium Backups does it for you: a full copy every day, encrypted, kept off-site for 30 days, restored from your dashboard. It's $10 a month or $120 a year per plan.

Is email included?

Mailboxes aren't part of hosting plans, but free email forwarding is part of every phas domain — info@yourdomain to any inbox you already use. For mailboxes, see the providers we recommend. Your site's own mail, like contact forms and receipts, needs SMTP or our Transactional Email add-on, because the server doesn't send mail itself.

Where does my data live?

On our servers in Melbourne, under Australian privacy law. Premium Backups adds encrypted off-site copies. The Privacy Policy lists every supplier that holds data, and where.

Is there a contract?

No. Plans run month to month or year to year, and you cancel from your dashboard — nobody phones you to talk you out of it. The price on the page is the price you pay; there's no introductory rate waiting to jump.

Your name is probably still out there.

Search a domain in the bar above. Registering starts the checkout, hosting attaches in the same cart, and free DNS and email forwarding come with it.
