We believe that we are ahead of our competition because we are located wholly within Canberra. Despite this, our prices continue to be competitive. Many other web hosting providers, even those located in Canberra, rent their servers overseas, which results in slower loading times for visitors in Australia. Our servers are connected to 155mbps links through multiple providers, meaning that our websites can be accessed at high speed from all major locations in Australia.
Our servers are located in the TransACT building, in Dickson, ACT, which gives us access to the following features:
