What every plan includes
Seven things, in every plan. This page explains what each one does and how it behaves, so you are not guessing.
Upload from the browser
Drag a folder or a zip into the dashboard and it lands in your site’s web root. Tick "replace everything" for a clean deploy, or leave it unticked to add and overwrite files. A file browser underneath lets you delete what you no longer want.
- Folders are zipped in your browser before upload
- Up to 512 MB per upload
- Zip paths are checked so nothing can escape your site’s folder
SSL that looks after itself
Every site gets a certificate from Let’s Encrypt as soon as its domain points here, and it renews before it expires. You can see the issue date and expiry in the dashboard, but you never need to act on them.
- Issued automatically once DNS resolves
- Renewed automatically, every time
- A retry button if you added the domain before pointing it
Daily backups, kept 14 days
Each site is archived every night and the last 14 are kept. Restore any of them from the dashboard, or download one to keep. You can also take a backup yourself before changing something you are unsure about.
- 14 nightly backups always on hand
- One-click restore of files and database
- Manual backups whenever you want one
DNS hosted here, edited here
Point your domain at our nameservers and manage every record from the dashboard: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV and CAA. Keeping email elsewhere is one MX record. Prefer your registrar’s DNS? One A record is all it takes.
- Nameservers ns1 and ns2.prestigehosting.com.au
- Full record editor with sensible defaults
- Or a single A record if you would rather not move DNS
PHP 8.3 and MariaDB
Static HTML, WordPress, Laravel, a hand-written PHP app: if it runs on PHP 8.3 with a MariaDB database, it runs here. Databases are created from the dashboard and the credentials are shown once.
- OpenLiteSpeed with PHP 8.3
- MariaDB databases, created on demand
- Change PHP version per site from settings
FTP over TLS
Some workflows want an FTP client, and that is fine. Every site has FTP credentials you can reset from the dashboard, and the connection is encrypted with TLS so passwords never cross the wire in the clear.
- Works with FileZilla, Cyberduck, Transmit and others
- Explicit TLS on port 21
- Reset the password whenever you like
Servers in Sydney
Your site is served from Sydney, so visitors in Australia and New Zealand are not waiting on a round trip to another continent. Your files, backups and database stay in Australia, which matters for privacy obligations.
- Australian data residency
- Short round trips for Australian visitors
- Run by a team on the Gold Coast
Before you pay
What we do, and what we don't
We would rather you know exactly what you are buying.
What Prestige Hosting does
- Host a site you already have, or one someone is building for you.
- Run plain PHP and static sites: HTML, WordPress, Laravel, anything on PHP 8.3 and MariaDB.
- Give you a dashboard for the things you actually touch: files, DNS, SSL, backups, databases.
- Answer email ourselves. The people who reply are the people who run the servers.
What it does not do
- A drag-and-drop site builder. There are no templates, themes or page editors here.
- Domain registration. You bring a domain you already own and point it at us.
- Email hosting, not yet. Your email stays wherever it is now.
- Managed WordPress updates. WordPress runs well here, but you install and update it yourself.
If you need a site designed and built, the company behind Prestige Hosting, Prestige Technology Solutions, does that work. Prestige Hosting hosts it.
