The Australian Hosting Guide That Actually Tests from Australia
Every speed test runs from a Sydney server. Real WordPress installs. Real uptime data. No rankings inflated by commission rates.
Every ranking is backed by real Sydney speed data
International comparison sites test from US or EU servers. That's useless for Australians. We measure TTFB from Sydney using real WordPress installs — the same stack you'd actually run.
- TTFB measured via curl from Sydney — not a CDN edge node
- Identical WordPress installs with same theme + plugins on every host
- 30-day uptime monitoring via UptimeRobot on all providers
- Renewal pricing shown alongside intro pricing — always
- We rank by performance, not by commission rates
