What our clients say.
A few of the people who trust us with their IT and hosting.
Stack2 are not just a web host, for our Marketing Agency they are a dedicated partner. Working together for close to 10 years now, Stack2 not only manage your agency’s IT infrastructure and cyber security, they also power hundreds of websites we have built for clients. The team are responsive, proactive and extremely knowledgeable. I cant imagine our agency without them.
Mary-Anne Amies, Founder & CEO at Wise Up Marketing
We've been working with Leigh and the team at Stack2 for several years, and they've become our go-to provider for all things web and email hosting. Having a local Australian team has been a real advantage, and their service has been consistently exceptional. Knowing our hosting is in safe hands gives our team complete peace of mind!
Christian Andrée, Managing Partner at Made Somewhere
I’ve worked with Leigh at Stack2 since 2020 across 4 different businesses, and I honestly wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Leigh has a way of making even the most overwhelming tech issues feel manageable, always explains things in plain English, responds incredibly quickly, and never makes me feel silly for asking questions. I trust him completely with my IT and web hosting, and he is the first person I recommend whenever a client needs reliable IT support.
Cheryl East, Founder at Complete Bookkeeping & Admin Support
I’ve worked with Leigh and the Stack2 team for close to eight years now, and I’ve never viewed their work as an expense, they’re genuinely an asset to my digital marketing agency. They’ve supported me at every stage, and whenever I’ve scaled up, they’ve scaled with me. Their customer service is exceptional; no question is ever too big or too small and nothing is ignored. Leigh takes the time to understand your needs and will work with you to find the right IT solution for your business. Before moving across to Stack2 in 2018, I had tried several other business technology providers. I’ve never once considered leaving Stack2. The consistency, reliability, and local support make all the difference.
Julia Makin, Founder & Executive Director at Sink or Swim Marketing
We've trusted Stack2 to host not only our own website but also many of our clients' websites for years, and they've consistently delivered exceptional service. They are always quick to respond, and they resolve any questions or technical issues promptly and efficiently. A special mention goes to Leigh, who we work with most often. His technical knowledge is outstanding, and he's always friendly, approachable, and easy to communicate with. His attention to detail and ability to quickly troubleshoot even complex issues gives us confidence that our websites, and those of our clients, are in good hands. While Stack2 may not be the cheapest hosting provider on the market, we've found the level of expertise, reliability and efficiency they provide more than justifies the investment. Their service has been a big reason we've remained a loyal customer over the long term. We also really value that they're Australian-based. Having local support available during our business hours means we can get help when we need it most, without worrying about time zone delays. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stack2 to anyone looking for dependable hosting backed by knowledgeable, responsive support.
Nadia Kerr, Founder at Hatchling Web
Why Stack2
Technology delivered personally.
We intentionally work with a select number of businesses and agencies so every client gets direct access to experienced engineers — not a call centre.
Tier-one offshore call centre.
First reply from someone reading a script, escalation queue 24+ hours, follow-up emails from a different agent every time.
The engineer who runs the server.
Median first reply 18 minutes during business hours. Same engineer follows the ticket end to end — because we only take on as many clients as we can serve personally.
Wait for something to break.
Inclusive resources that quietly aren't, mandatory annual renewals at a higher price, and no one watching until you file a ticket.
Monitored before you notice.
Every site is pinged every minute. An incident immediately pages the on-call engineer — you'll typically hear from us before you've noticed yourself.
Owned by a holding company in Houston.
Your data is governed by terms you didn't sign, hosted somewhere you didn't pick, supported on a timezone that isn't yours.
Single-digit team in Traralgon, Gippsland, and Melbourne.
Australian-owned, Australian-hosted, AEST business hours. You can ask to speak to the founder. He'll reply.
Stack2 IT Support

What's included
The fundamentals, on every plan.
No upsell ladders. The things you'd expect from a host are part of the price.
Sydney infrastructure
Servers live in Sydney, your data stays onshore. Low latency for Australian visitors, predictable performance.
SSL & DNS by default
Free SSL via Let's Encrypt, DNS managed in Route 53, automatic renewals. You don't touch it; it just works.
Nightly backups, off-site
Every site is snapshotted nightly to a separate region. One-click restore from the dashboard, no support ticket required.
WordPress, Node.js or static
PHP + MySQL with the WordPress optimisations done. Node.js apps and plain static hosting also supported. Bring what you've got.
Uptime monitoring
Every site is pinged every minute. If something goes down, we know before you do — and so does the on-call engineer.
Engineers, not a tier-one script
Email and ticket support are handled by the engineers who run the platform. Most tickets resolved same business day.
See the platform
Real infrastructure, not a pitch deck.
Every site on Stack2 is monitored, backed up, and reported on through the same dashboard our engineers use — the Stack2 Platform. It's not a mockup; it's what runs underneath the personal service.
FAQ
Common questions.
If your question isn't here, contact us and an engineer will reply — usually within a few hours during business days.
Web hosting is a service that makes your website accessible on the internet. We provide the server space, technology, and support to keep your site online 24/7 — think of it as renting space on a computer that's always connected.
Three WordPress hosting plans:
- Spark — great for a starter site, $15/mo
- Grow — our most popular plan for growing businesses, $30/mo
- Scale — for high-traffic sites and WooCommerce stores, $65/mo
Yes — a domain (like yoursite.com.au) is your website's address on the internet. If you don't have one, we can help you register the right one. Visit our domains page to check availability.
Every plan includes: free SSL via Let's Encrypt, nightly backups (off-site), NVMe SSD storage, web application firewall, real-time malware scanning, DDoS protection, unlimited email accounts, unlimited bandwidth, and WP Toolkit in the control panel. No upsell ladders — these are all in the base price.
Yes — migrations from cPanel, SiteGround, Kinsta, WP Engine, and self-managed VPS hosts are included on Grow and Scale plans, and available as a fixed-fee add-on on Spark. We do the migration; you check it works. Get in touch to start.
Web hosting servers are located in Sydney. Your data stays onshore. Backups replicate to Melbourne for redundancy. We don't host outside Australia.
Yes — standalone email hosting plans with unlimited accounts, inbound and outbound spam filtering, DKIM, SPF, webmail, and daily backups. Plans from $8/mo. See email hosting for details.
NVMe SSD storage, Redis object cache (Scale plan), and servers hosted in Sydney for low-latency delivery to Australian visitors. Each site runs in an isolated container so one site's traffic never impacts another.
No. The stack supports PHP/MySQL (WordPress, WooCommerce, Laravel), Node.js apps, and plain static sites. We don't currently host Python or .NET apps — get in touch if that's what you need.
Email and ticket support on every plan, answered by the engineers who run the platform. Most tickets resolved same business day. We don't do phone support for hosting — it keeps response times honest and the people answering technical.
Yes — Stack2 is 100% Australian owned and operated, based in Melbourne. We've been providing IT and hosting services to Australian businesses since 2008. Learn more about us.
Every plan includes: web application firewall, real-time malware scanning, DDoS protection, free SSL certificates, isolated containers (so one compromised site can't affect others), and outbound spam filtering to protect your sending reputation.
We provide managed IT support for small and medium businesses — Microsoft 365 setup and management, remote helpdesk, network troubleshooting, hardware advice, and ongoing IT management for businesses that don't have an internal IT team. Think of us as your IT department. Learn more about IT support.
Our default is remote support, which resolves most issues quickly without waiting for a technician. For clients in Melbourne, we can visit on-site when the situation genuinely needs it — hardware replacement, office moves, network setup, and similar tasks.
Yes — this is a common arrangement for small and medium businesses. We handle day-to-day helpdesk, Microsoft 365 administration, hardware procurement, and longer-term IT planning. You get experienced IT support without the cost and overhead of a full-time hire. Get in touch to discuss what that looks like for your business.
