Managed Web Hosting
Web hosting built for speed, security and managed support
Cheap hosting is everywhere. Reliable, performance-focused hosting is not. Our managed web hosting gives Australian businesses a stable technical foundation, with server-level caching, SSL configuration, daily backups, proactive monitoring and support from people who understand the website, DNS and infrastructure behind it.
Why Hosting Matters
Your hosting affects more than whether your website loads
Web hosting is the server environment that keeps your website available, fast and secure. If it is poorly configured, your website can become slow, unstable, hard to protect and difficult to recover when something goes wrong. For businesses investing in SEO, website development or e-commerce, hosting is not a background detail. It affects load speed, crawl efficiency, user experience, Core Web Vitals and the reliability of forms, checkouts and content management. We treat hosting as part of the wider website system. That means we consider the website build, DNS, SSL, caching, backups, monitoring and future maintenance together, rather than leaving each piece with a different provider.
- Faster local load times for Australian users, supported by Australian-based infrastructure where applicable.
- Managed server configuration, SSL certificates, backups, caching and monitoring handled by our technical team.
- Hosting aligned with Website Development, Domain Name Management and Email Hosting, reducing provider finger-pointing when issues occur.
Managed Hosting Inclusions

Hosting Approach
Managed web hosting compared with generic shared hosting
Low-cost hosting can suit very small or non-critical websites. For a business website that supports enquiries, sales or SEO, the hosting environment needs closer management. The difference is not just server space, it is how performance, security, support and recovery are handled.
Performance
Website speed can affect user experience, conversion and technical SEO signals.
Often relies on a crowded shared environment, basic caching and limited configuration access.
Managed configuration, server-level caching and performance review aligned with the way the website is built.
Support
A single technical contact can reduce delays when providers blame each other.
Support teams may only deal with hosting tickets and may not understand the website, CMS, DNS or email setup.
Hosting support connects with website development, maintenance, domain management and email configuration where relevant.
Risk management
Security monitoring reduces risk, but no hosting service can guarantee complete protection or uninterrupted operation.
Backups, SSL, malware scanning and monitoring may be limited, optional or left to the website owner.
Daily backups, SSL setup, proactive monitoring, firewalls, malware scanning and security patching are part of the managed environment.
Migration Process
How we move websites to managed hosting
A rushed hosting migration can break websites, email, forms, SSL certificates and DNS records. We plan migrations carefully, test the new environment and coordinate cutover steps to reduce disruption. Temporary interruptions can still occur because DNS propagation, third-party providers and internet caching are outside any provider’s full control.
-
Phase 01
Audit and preparation
We review the current website, hosting, DNS and related services. Backups are taken where possible, and the new hosting environment is prepared before changes are made.
-
Phase 02
Migration and testing
Website files, databases and configuration are migrated, then tested before the final cutover. Where practical, services are prepared in parallel to reduce risk.
-
Phase 03
Go live and monitor
DNS changes are coordinated, SSL is checked, forms are tested and the hosting environment is monitored after launch. Ongoing management then continues under the agreed hosting arrangement.
Uptime and Support
Clear uptime expectations without unrealistic promises
We aim to maintain 99.9% monthly uptime for websites and hosting services managed on our infrastructure. This applies to the availability of the Dobble-managed web server and hosting environment, measured monthly. It is not a claim of 100% uptime, and it does not cover issues outside our direct control. Hosting depends on many connected systems, including DNS, domain registrars, CDNs, payment gateways, email providers, client internet connections and third-party services. We explain those boundaries clearly so businesses can make informed decisions instead of relying on vague uptime claims.
99.9% monthly uptime target
Applies to managed infrastructure
The target applies to the availability of websites and hosting services managed on our infrastructure, subject to the applicable agreement.
Important exclusions
Third-party and client-side issues are excluded
Scheduled maintenance, emergency maintenance, domain registrar issues, DNS provider issues, CDN failures, Microsoft 365 or Google service outages, force majeure events, client changes, misuse and services not hosted on our managed infrastructure are excluded.
Service review where applicable
Credits depend on the SLA
If monthly uptime falls below 99.9% due solely to an issue within our managed hosting infrastructure, affected clients may request a service review. Service credits may be available where applicable under the client’s SLA.
Hosting Plans
Managed web hosting options
Hosting requirements vary depending on traffic, website complexity, security needs, support requirements and whether the site is part of a wider SEO, maintenance or website management engagement. We do not publish fixed hosting prices because the wrong hosting plan can create performance problems or unnecessary cost.
Final pricing is provided after we review the website, infrastructure and support requirements.
