HCWeb Hosting Centre
Independently Australian-owned · Servers in NSW & QLD

Hosting from our own servers, not someone else's.

We own and operate every server we host on, in Sydney and Brisbane data centres. When you open a ticket, the reply comes from the sysadmin who runs the platform — not an offshore Level 1. From $3/mo.

01 · What we run

Three server tiers.
One honest answer to "why does it cost more?"

I

Shared servers

Mixed-tenant servers for personal sites, small business pages, and projects that don't need dedicated grunt. Starter and Standard plans live here. Still NVMe-backed, still anti-DDoS protected — just with more neighbours.

$3–$6 / month
II

Business servers

Lower density. Fewer sites per host. More CPU and RAM allocated to your account. The right home for a business site you can't afford to be slow. Daily backups, priority queue.

$20–$30 / month
III

WordPress & WooCommerce

LiteSpeed web server with built-in caching, PHP-FPM with a dedicated worker pool, and a WooCommerce-aware setup that keeps cart and checkout fast under load. NVMe storage throughout.

From $80 / month
02 · Pricing

Pick a plan, not a server farm.

Every plan includes free SSL, automated backups, staging environments, unlimited databases, anti-DDoS, and direct sysadmin support. The difference is where your site lives.

03 · Control panel

No cPanel bloat.
Just Enhance.

We don't run cPanel. We run Enhance — a modern hosting control panel that does everything cPanel does (sites, email, databases, SSL, file manager, DNS) in a faster, cleaner interface.

  • One-click install for WordPress, Joomla, and 100+ apps.
  • SSL provisioned automatically — no clicking around for Let's Encrypt.
  • Email, DNS, databases and file manager — all in one panel, all fast.
  • No upsells, no licence-fee creep, no legacy interface.

04 · Email you can trust

We don't host spammers.
That's a feature, not a limit.

Email is included with every plan, for genuine business correspondence. We don't allow bulk-mail senders or marketing-blast servers on our network — which means our outgoing IPs stay clean, and your legitimate emails actually land in customer inboxes instead of being blocklisted alongside the spammers.

What you get
  • Unlimited mailboxes per plan
  • SPF, DKIM, DMARC configured for your domain
  • Webmail + IMAP + SMTP
  • Spam filtering on inbound
  • Clean outbound IP reputation
  • No bulk senders sharing your IP

06 · Questions

Things people ask us before signing up.

01 Where are your servers located?
All of our hosting servers are located in Sydney and Brisbane data centres. Our DNS infrastructure is split across two data centres for redundancy. We own and operate every server — we are not reselling someone else's hosting.
02 Do you offer phone support?
No, and intentionally so. Every support conversation goes through live chat (Mon–Fri 9am–6pm AEST) or our 24/7 ticket system, so we have a written record of every issue and every fix. Tickets are answered directly by the sysadmins who run the platform — no L1/L2/L3 escalation, no offshore call centre.
03 Why don't you use cPanel?
We use Enhance — a modern, fast control panel without cPanel's clutter. It does everything cPanel does (sites, email, databases, SSL, file manager, DNS) in a cleaner interface that's faster to navigate. No legacy bloat, no licence-fee pressure.
04 Can I send bulk email or marketing campaigns?
No. We host email for genuine business correspondence only and don't allow bulk/marketing senders on our network. The upside: our outgoing IP reputation stays clean, which means your legitimate emails actually land in inboxes instead of being blocklisted alongside spammers.
05 Do you migrate my site for free?
Yes. On Business and WordPress plans we migrate your existing site at no charge. Just open a ticket with access details and we'll handle it.
06 What's the difference between Standard, Business and E-commerce?
They run on physically different servers. Standard plans share a server with more sites — fine for personal projects and small business pages. Business plans run on lower-density, performance-tuned servers. E-commerce plans run on WooCommerce-optimised servers with object caching and dedicated PHP workers.
Ready when you are

Move to honest Australian hosting.

We'll migrate your existing site and email for free on Business and WordPress plans. Open a ticket with your current host's access details — we'll handle the rest.
