HBHosting: Australian hosting with local support and website edits included

HBHosting is an Australian web hosting provider that has been operating since 2017. Its offering combines infrastructure located in Australia, local customer support, and a service that is unusual in the sector: the possibility of delegating minor website changes to the company. The company states it has more than 500 Australian businesses as clients and presents its offering as an alternative for those who do not want to personally handle the technical maintenance of their website.

Hosting with practical support

The service relies on servers located in Sydney and cPanel access. The company describes its platform as optimised for WordPress, although it clarifies that the hardware supports any type of website, including those developed with custom code. Features included in all plans include SSL certificate, free migration from another provider, daily backups, and Australian technical support.

Website edits included in selected plans

The differentiating feature that the company highlights is the inclusion of minor website edits in certain plans. Clients can request changes such as modifying text, replacing images, updating links and buttons, uploading blog posts, adjusting menus, adding products, or making minor layout tweaks. The exact scope depends on each request and the plan purchased. If the volume of changes exceeds what is included, HBHosting offers the possibility of requesting a one-off quote or a recurring add-on.

Hosting plans

The company structures its catalogue into three tiers, with prices expressed in Australian dollars and a 30-day money-back guarantee:

• Essential: self-managed plan aimed at high-performance websites, with free SSL, daily backups, free migration, 5 GB SSD, and 200 GB bandwidth.
• Business: includes three minor edits per month, automated updates, free domain name for the first year on annual plans, priority support, 15 GB SSD, and 300 GB bandwidth.
• Managed: adds six minor edits per month, VIP support, premium security, and resource monitoring, with 30 GB SSD and 400 GB bandwidth.

Client profile

HBHosting targets its service at small businesses that need a professional website without managing complex technical aspects, WordPress site owners looking for practical support, tradespeople who want to keep their page available to their clients, and designers or agencies that prefer to delegate hosting and maintenance while focusing on development.

Infrastructure and customer support

The company emphasises its local character: infrastructure in Australia, Australian support staff, and status as a local provider. The servers are located in Sydney and, according to the company, are designed to offer fast and reliable performance for both Australian sites and international visitors. The management team includes Dan Simmon as director, Oded Simmon as senior consultant, Aryeh Zinn as chief technology officer, Asher Simmon as marketing director, and Caleb Butterfield in tier III technical support.

Growth outlook

HBHosting has announced the upcoming launch of VPS plans and maintains an open waiting list for those interested in receiving notice during the early launch phase.
