Web Hosting Services

Business Web Hosting

Concise Digital provides a range of options for business web hosting, including hosting on Shared Servers, Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Servers. Many businesses also use Content Delivery Networks as part of their business web hosting solution.

Business Web Hosting is usually priced according to the storage capacity you need and the bandwidth (i.e. data flow) used by the website hosting.

Concise provides a range of SSL certificates that help provide the encryption of data travelling between web browsers and web servers.

It is important to make sure regular backups are run for your website data. Backups are rarely needed, but when something bad happens you need to have fast access to restore data from good backups. With Concise, backups are run daily, weekly and offsite. Backups are kept for 30 days.

Whilst nothing is ever fully ‘secure’, a good hosting company will have good security systems and protocols to reduce the likelihood and impacts of security attacks. Each Concise Hosting Plan includes Anti-Spam and Anti-Hacker systems for increased security protection.

The in-house Concise tech support staff are available 24/7 to support you and your business on our servers and hosting infrastructure. Our technicians are all highly qualified and Concise is fully certified to manage and support high-level business hosting.

Shared Server Hosting

With Shared Server hosting, a number of different websites are hosted on the same server and share the computing resources of that server.

Many websites for small businesses are hosted on ‘shared’ servers.

Shared Servers are normally satisfactory for websites with low traffic volume as different websites are likely to use shared computer resources at different times, so all sites on the shared server can generally load quickly and perform as needed.

At Concise, we do offer shared server hosting, however, Concise has strict limits on the number of business websites we allow on each shared server. These limits help to maintain a high quality of service for all hosted clients on the shared server. We also have sophisticated server monitoring systems to ensure resource usage, traffic volumes and bandwidth usage are kept within our desired parameters.

Concise builds and hosts a variety of different business websites, including accounting web designlaw firm website design and websites for mining and resource companies.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting

With a Virtual Private Server or VPS, you enjoy faster, more reliable and more secure website hosting. The VPS has specific computer resources and software allocated to you for the exclusive use of your business.

Typically, there are multiple Virtual Private Servers running on a single server hardware ‘box’. The capacity depends on the technical hardware and software specifications, including its memory and processing power capabilities.

When you arrange hosting on a VPS, you specify the memory and processing power you want to have for your website or sites. You can usually upgrade to higher VPS specifications as your requirements grow.

Dedicated Server Hosting

The next step up from VPS Hosting is having your own Dedicated Server.

As the name suggests, when you have Dedicated Server Hosting, you are given the exclusive use of a separate stand-alone server in a data centre. This becomes your hardware for the dedicated use of your business, and you have full use of the entire processing power, resources and software on that dedicated server.

eCommerce Web Hosting

An eCommerce-enabled online store are often ‘mission critical’ to the success of that business, so it requires good, fast and secure hosting services.

Good shared server hosting may be satisfactory for low-traffic online stores, but Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting is a good investment for the long-term future of a growing and successful online store.

A good approach for a new online store might be to start with shared server hosting and then move to VPS hosting as the business starts to grow.

PrestaShop Web Hosting

PrestaShop is an open-source enterprise-grade eCommerce-enabled content management system that requires significant server resources to operate well.

You can start your PrestaShop hosting with a shared server Hosting Plan, however PrestaShop always works better when hosted on a VPS. As such, we typically recommend VPS Hosting for any significant PrestaShop store.

Concise Digital designs, builds and hosts PrestaShop stores. We are the only technically certified PrestaShop development agency in Australia.

Concise often gets called upon to fix problems with PrestaShop stores that were built by other agencies or built DIY by clients who did not really know what they were doing. In our troubleshooting to diagnose the cause of problems, we find a lot of poorly performing PrestaShop sites have cheap and inadequate cut-price hosting plans.

If you are going to the relatively high expense of building your valuable online store in PrestaShop, then don’t risk your success with cheap hosting. Plan on using a VPS, and potentially moving to multiple dedicated servers as your business grows.

WordPress Hosting

Compared to PrestaShop, hosting a WordPress website is a lot easier and a lot less demanding of server resources.

Most WordPress websites can happily be hosted on shared servers, however, it is still essential to have fast and reliable hosting for your WordPress site.

Concise Digital provides premium WordPress hosting with 24/7 tech support. We provide hosting packages to suit your WordPress website requirements, so you don’t end up paying more than you need to.

School Web Hosting

School website design is a specialty of ours at Concise Digital.

We have special web hosting packages for school websites, with pricing from $240 per year + GST.

Most schools find it essential that a school website is securely hosted and loads quickly so students and staff can access the information they need quickly.

Laravel Web Hosting

At Concise, we work with lots of unique businesses with very specific requirements for how their online business systems need to look, feel and function.

In order to meet these requirements, Concise develops unique custom-built websites, web stores and web applications and we use the elegant and powerful Laravel framework to rapidly build complex online systems.

Once built, these online systems need to be hosted somewhere and Concise is an expert in hosting Laravel websites, stores and web applications.

Content Delivery Network (CDN)

If your website has large amounts of content that must load quickly for visitors in different geographic locations, then adding a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to your hosting is a great option.

Similarly, if you attract international visitors and want to sell your products and services to customers located outside of Australia, then your website content needs to be delivered quickly to your target customer in their countries or geographic regions. You can achieve this by adding a CDN to your website hosting.

Concise Digital recommends several different Content Delivery Network options that can be easily added to Concise Hosting.

Peakhour is the leading Australian-owned Content Delivery Network (CDN) provider. Peakhour’s CDN services fit between the visitors browsing a website and the web server that hosts the website. Peakhour intelligently optimises and caches website content for website visitors, and protects the web server from malicious attacks. Peakhour offers an all-inclusive security, performance, and availability service at scale, and with simple volume-based billing.

Concise is a Peakhour partner because we like Peakhour’s technology, global network, personalised service and extensive support. We work closely with Peakhour to provide secure high-performance hosting and content delivery for some large hosting clients.

Concise Digital is an Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner and AWS hosting experts. The Concise Digital data centre is located in Sydney as part of the AWS hosting infrastructure. Amazon have the CloudFront CDN which uses a global network of over 400 Edge locations and 13 regional caches in more than 90 cities across 47 countries. In Australia, CloudFront’s Edge locations are in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, with the regional cache in Sydney.

Other good CDN options include Microsoft’s Azure, Akamai and CloudFlare.

Adding a CDN to your hosting does cost an additional fee, but for most businesses the extra security, speed and availability are worth the investment with good ROI. It’s all about using fast and secure website hosting and content delivery to create more happy customers no matter where they are located.

Talk with Concise Digital to explore the best CDN options for your business website.

Thinking of Changing Web Hosting Providers?

Finding your website too slow? Getting a “508 Resource Limit Reached” error? Not happy with your current web hosting provider?

Even if you get your website built elsewhere, we can still host it for you if the website meets our quality standards. We can migrate your website to our hosting servers, fix any problems and get you on the path to success.

The Importance of Local Hosting

If you’re a business based in Australia and your customers are also in Australia, it makes sense to have Australian Web Hosting. Why? Because having a web server located near your website visitors means faster speed. Fast speed provides a better user experience and is an important ranking factor for search engines.

Why Host Your Website With Us?

We are an Amazon Accredited Partner

Concise Digital is an Amazon Web Services accredited partner, and our underlying hosting infrastructure uses Amazon Web Services Data Centres around the world.

For our Australian clients, servers are physically located in Sydney, Australia. We’re fully qualified AWS hosting experts, equipped to manage and support very high-performance website hosting.

Standard Up-Time Benchmark of 99.99%

At Concise Digital, we work very hard to keep your site ‘UP’ and available. Our standard Up-Time benchmark is 99.99%.

Every web hosting plan includes 24/7 monitoring which will alert our systems team if your website is down so you don’t have to worry.

High-Availability Web Servers

Our standard web hosting services utilise high-availability shared servers. Some Australian web hosting companies host thousands of websites on a single shared server. We are different.

Concise Digital utilises a best practice approach, with high-availability servers and very low numbers of other websites on our shared hosting servers.

Our low share ratios mean you don’t have to share the server bandwidth and processing power with hundreds of other websites. And you won’t suffer random spikes and long slow load times.

For websites needing more than a shared server, then virtual private servers (VPS) and dedicated hosting servers are available. These are available for premium hosting plans and enterprise hosting solutions.

Hosting & Web Development Under One Roof

Since 2005, Concise Digital has employed our own technical systems team. In fact, we’re one of the very few web companies in Australia with a full-time in-house web development team and a full-time in-house systems team.

When you choose Concise Digital to build your website, it makes sense for you to also choose us to host your website. This means you will never be put in the middle of a fight between your web developers and your web hosting company. At Concise, they virtually sit next to each other.

We Take Security Very Seriously

We take your security very seriously, however, we cannot guarantee that your website will never be hacked (no one can guarantee that). It is important for you to know we always have the right to make your site unavailable at any time.

If your site has been hacked, or if we suspect it may have been hacked or its security compromised in any way, then we may turn your site off to the public and quarantine your site on our network until the security issue is rectified.

This is done to protect your business, your customers and other clients, users and businesses on our networks. We hope you would expect nothing less.

We Do it All

We can handle everything from fast and reliable hosting services that meet your website’s needs all the way through to the development and marketing of your website.

What Software or Services Do You Need Assistance With?

Have a Question About Our Web Hosting?

One of the big problems with shared servers arises when too many websites are hosted on the same shared server. This overloads the available computer resources and slows down all of the sites on the server. It is a common ‘bad’ practice amongst cheap web hosting companies with very cheap hosting prices. Cheap hosting can be tempting, but it is usually a false economy and adds unnecessary risks to the success of a growing online business

No, WordPress is not insecure and risky, as long as it is properly installed, has good secure plug-in modules if extra functionality is wanted, is correctly hosted, and kept up to date as the software is improved.

The WordPress codebase is open source, and under constant scrutiny from good people and bad people. Good people find ways to improve the code, while the baddies look for vulnerabilities in the code.

Software updates to WordPress are released several times a year and some are critical for the security of your WordPress website and any other systems connected to it. It is imperative that security updates are installed for your WordPress website as soon as possible after any update is released. Make sure you or your web company thoroughly check your website after each update as some updates may break functionality on your website.

A Virtual Private Server or VPS has specific computer resources and software allocated to you for the exclusive use of your business.

VPS hosting is hosting on a Virtual Private Server. When you arrange hosting on a VPS, you specify the memory and processing power you want to have for your website or sites. You can usually upgrade to higher VPS specifications as your requirements grow.

Dedicated hosting is always better, however good shared hosting may be satisfactory for you. What you need to avoid is bad shared hosting on overloaded shared servers that have too many websites sharing the same resources on the server. Check out our video for further explanation.

Cloud Hosting is when websites are hosted on a network of connected virtual and physical servers, rather than deployed on a single server. This can provide greater flexibility and scalability.

Good shared server hosting is usually the best and most cost-effective option for low-traffic websites.
