Crazy Domains is a high-volume domain registrar and basic hosting provider — built to onboard as many customers as possible at low introductory rates. Stack2 is built for the specific, professional workflow of an agency managing WordPress client sites: central dashboard, care plan automation, white-label tools, and pricing that doesn't change at renewal.

Both Stack2 and Crazy Domains host data in Australia. The key difference is what's built on top of the hosting — and how the pricing holds up at renewal.
Crazy Domains is well-known for promotional first-year rates that jump significantly at renewal. For agencies who plan their client hosting margins based on year-one pricing, this creates an uncomfortable conversation — either with the client at renewal, or absorbed as a margin squeeze.
Stack2's pricing is what it is. Month one equals month twelve. Plan your margins, set your client billing, and know exactly what you're paying — without needing to re-negotiate or absorb a renewal spike.
Crazy Domains handles millions of customers. Their support is built for volume — helpful for basic account questions, less useful when you're debugging a WordPress conflict at a client site with a deadline. Support queues and generic responses are the norm.
Stack2 is a Melbourne-based specialist team. When a client site has an issue, you're talking to someone who knows WordPress, knows the infrastructure, and works in your timezone. No queues to a generic helpdesk.
Crazy Domains provides cPanel shared hosting. There's no agency dashboard, no bulk WordPress management, no care plan automation, and no client access controls. Running client sites on Crazy Domains means managing each one manually, individually, indefinitely.
Agency dashboard, bulk updates, uptime monitoring, white-label reports, AutoCare, client access controls. Everything a professional agency needs to manage client WordPress sites is built in — not bolted on, not an extra charge.
Crazy Domains sells hosting. AutoCare automates your entire care plan workflow: WordPress updates applied on your schedule, a branded client report generated, and emailed automatically. If you're billing monthly care plan retainers today, AutoCare converts that billing into revenue that costs you nothing to deliver.

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.
