The infrastructure decisions that make Stack2 hosting fast and reliable for Australian visitors.
Sydney NVMe infrastructure
Servers in Sydney, data onshore. NVMe SSDs are significantly faster than SATA — pages load faster for Australian visitors, and Google's Core Web Vitals scores reflect it.
LiteSpeed + Redis caching
LiteSpeed handles PHP faster than Apache. Redis object caching keeps repeated database queries off the disk. Together they make a meaningful difference on real-world sites.
Isolated containers
Each site runs in its own container — not a shared folder on a shared server. One noisy neighbour can't slow your site down, and a compromised site can't touch yours.
WAF + malware scanning
Web Application Firewall blocks common attack patterns at the edge. Real-time malware scanning catches anything that makes it through. Both are on every plan by default.
Nightly backups, off-site
Every site snapshotted nightly to a separate Melbourne region. One-click restore from the dashboard — no support ticket required.
Unlimited email included
Every plan includes unlimited email addresses at your domain — no per-mailbox fee, pooled storage. Outbound spam filtering is on by default.
The fundamentals, on every plan.
No upsell ladders. The things you'd expect from a host are part of the price — regardless of which plan you're on.
LiteSpeed technology
High-performance LiteSpeed web server on every plan — significantly faster than Apache for PHP-driven sites.
Isolated container per site
Your site runs in its own container. No shared directories, no noisy neighbours. Resources are yours.
PHP 5.6–8.5 + Node.js
Choose your PHP version per site from the portal, or run Node.js apps. PHP 8.5 recommended for best performance.
Nightly backups
Full site and database snapshots every night, stored off-site. One-click restore from the dashboard.
Outbound spam filtering
Email sent from your site is filtered before it leaves our servers — keeping your domain off spam blacklists.
Web Application Firewall
WAF rules block common attack patterns — SQL injection, XSS, WordPress exploits — before they reach your app.
Realtime malware scanning
Files are scanned continuously. Compromised code is flagged immediately — not discovered after the damage is done.
DDoS protection
Network-level DDoS mitigation absorbs volumetric attacks upstream. Your site stays available when being targeted.
Hosted DNS
DNS managed by Stack2 with fast global propagation. We configure it when your site goes live.
Free SSL certificates
Let's Encrypt SSL on every domain, auto-renewed. HTTPS is on before your site is live.
MariaDB + PostgreSQL
MariaDB for WordPress and MySQL-compatible apps, PostgreSQL for everything else. Both included on every plan.
Engineer support
Email and ticket support on every plan. Handled by the engineers who run the platform — median reply 18 minutes.

Sydney, in AWS ap-southeast-2. Your data stays onshore. Backups replicate to ap-southeast-4 (Melbourne) for redundancy. We do not host outside Australia.
Yes — free migrations are included on Grow and Scale plans, and available as a fixed-fee add-on on Spark. We migrate from cPanel, SiteGround, Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways, and self-managed VPS hosts. We do the migration; you check it works.
PHP 5.6–8.5 with MariaDB (ideal for WordPress and Laravel), Node.js apps, and plain static sites. We do not currently support Python or .NET apps — contact us if that is what you need.
Email and ticket support on every plan, handled by the engineers who run the platform. Median first reply is 18 minutes during business hours (AEST). Same engineer follows the ticket end to end — no offshore call centre, no script.
Every site is pinged every minute. An incident immediately pages the on-call engineer. You will typically hear from us before you have noticed yourself. Post-incident report within 48 hours.
Bandwidth is unlimited on all plans — no overage charges. Storage ranges by plan (5 GB on Spark, 15 GB on Grow, 40 GB on Scale). The vast majority of business websites sit well under 5 GB. We will let you know before you are close to your limit.
