What our clients say
If you're looking for a web hosting provider with local Australian support, I highly recommend Zen Hosting. Their customer service team is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to go above and beyond to help you.
Julian C via Google Business
They are by far the most professional to deal with in Australia. Their customer support service is flawless. I highly recommend them for your business or personal hosting.
Michelle via Google Business
What I love about Zen is that support is always fast and responses are always clear and very helpful. I'm not a 'big' client but feel like one because of how I'm treated by the Zen Hosting team, each and every time I've emailed for support.
Espie via Google Business
I have been using Zen Hosting for a few years now, and they always deliver. Their service is 5-star, and I have always felt looked after and valued as a customer. I manage a number of websites, and these guys are definitely lifesavers at times.
Bodhi via Google Business
After recently switching to Zen Hosting after being with VentraIP for 10 years, I have been blown away by the value and level of service that Travis and his team provide. Highly recommended.
Liam via Google Business
What I love about Zen Hosting is their support! I have been with them for years now, even tried other hosting platforms, but no other platform has given me the quickest and kindest support. They deserve all the stars I can give.
Dyanne via Google Business
Hosting at a great price, but most of all their support is the best support I have dealt with in my 20 years of IT experience. Very refreshing. Highly recommended!
Mitchell via Google Business
Fast hosting, rock-solid reliability, and great tech support, assistance, and advice. I’ve been with Zen for many years and really rate them as one of the best hosting providers around.
Stuart via Google Business
They respond to a problem so quickly, and with a solution that means minimum downtime for a client's website. I've used well-known hosts from the USA, but these guys are on my doorstep and so much better.
Elmer via Google Business
"My sites are faster and more reliable and they feel more secure. The level of advice and support offered has also been amazing. Not just in the migration but the ongoing communication has been so beneficial to my business."
Clayton via Google Business
"Fantastic service. Fast reliable servers that are well maintained and backed up by excellent technical support. Very reasonably priced for the quality of service."
Paul via Google Business
"We couldn't be happier. They are very responsive to help desk enquiries and always go over and beyond. This team is far superior to other companies that we have used in the past and they are locally based in Australia."
Steven via Google Business
"Nothing is too much trouble and you can expect the most professional and friendly service by some of the most experienced and knowledgeable people in the industry. I am very grateful that they are behind our business."
Rebus Legal via Google Business
"By far the best web hosting company I've used in over 9 years. I've never had support get back to me so quickly and be so helpful AND human! Can not endorse enough."
Jamie via Google Business
"Easily the best hosting company I have dealt with. Perth-based company with swift, professional, reliable and trustworthy support. It's great to have confidence in your hosting provider and I couldn't recommend these guys enough. Thanks a mill!"

VPS Hosting FAQ
Our team of technical experts provides fast and
efficient 24/7 ticketing support to all hosting
customers.
As a Dedicated Server client,
you'll receive priority support. Our management
is
so thorough, reliable and helpful that it's
trusted by everyone
from tech novices to IT professionals across
Australia. We're confident it will exceed your
expectations too.
We can have your Perth VPS set up in one
business day but if you need it sooner, just let us know and we'll
do
our best to speed things up.
If you opt for Management, we then configure and
harden the system. Hardening is all about using
tools and
techniques to
help make your service secure. Sound confusing?
Take where you live, for example. The process of
hardening
can be
compared to locking your home's doors and
windows. Hardening also prevents resources from
being
wasted or
consumed by
unnecessary tasks.
System hardening doesn't end there though; it's
an ongoing process.
If you get Management, software installation,
backups and web site migration (moving your
cPanel
web site
from another
provider to our service in Australia) are
included too.
Server Management can be complicated and time
consuming, especially if you're a tech novice.
Zen
Hosting's Management is
much more comprehensive than you'll find
elsewhere.
Our qualified experts start by securing your
system in Australia, then we proactively monitor
its
performance and health
(this includes but is not limited to CPU usage
and load), provide extensive support for system
administration and
technical issues, and perform software upgrades
as necessary. We can also set up and take
backups.
When choosing a managed provider, keep in mind
that not all hosts offer the same set of skills,
practices
and service.
Zen Hosting's Management is optional and trusted
by everyone from tech novices to IT
professionals
across
Australia.
Without Management, you're responsible for all
the tasks that keep your system secure and
running.

high-performance software to choose from for

We use nifty systems for our servers,
including Grafana with Prometheus, that let
us keep an eye on
everything from the availability of a
critical web site to server health. We
automate some tasks
using Ansible. Important alerts are also
sent to our Slack channel.
Do you have special monitoring requirements
for your web site? Just
let us
know for
more information.
It’s hard to compare virtual cores at different providers unless you know the hardware platform.
We use Supermicro servers, which have a ton of processing power. If you’d like more information, just drop us a line.
What is offered as part of Management varies from provider to provider.
For example, some hosts won't assist you if there is an issue with a .htaccess file because they don't consider it to be part of server maintenance.
An indication of the type of support your new hosting provider will provide may be how promptly and thoroughly they address your sales questions. So what are you waiting for? Put us to the test and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Unlike many hosting companies, Zen Hosting isn't owned by an overseas conglomerate. We’re a proudly Australian business and you can rest assured that we’ll continue to provide top-notch service and affordable services for years to come.
Also, our servers are in Australian datacentres on quality networks and we don't oversell them, so you won't experience any unnecessary slowdown.
And we’re extremely proactive, going above and beyond to help customers. If difficult technical issues arise, we can get to the bottom of them fast. You'll be amazed by the quality and speed of our support team, who are genuinely passionate about web hosting and customer service.
