We had been with a service provider, which was then acquired by the worst hosting provider in the universe ( crazy domains / vodien / dreapscapes etc) Anyway, Ventra IP has helped us to move all our services over, customer service us local Australian, support is fantastic, the service is outstanding. I would like to highlight the control panel, and the order process, which is absolutely brilliant, I have never actually seen anything near as good as their system. 10/10

In over 15 years using many different hosting services, VentraIP is by far the best that I have ever used, and I now recommend all of my clients use them. The prices are great, the services just work almost flawlessly, and on the rare occasion that there are any problems the customer service is exceptional with support staff that really know what they are doing.

It’s not owned by Melbourne IT. They actually try and retain customers. I’ve referred them to so many clients over the years thanks to their lack of hidden fees. They are just nice and reasonable and I trust them enough to give them my review

I recently moved to VentraIP as my experience with my previous provider GoDaddy was HORRIBLE. (I was a customer with GoDaddy for 9 years on their most premium hosting tier - with 7 domains). After migration, the team at ventraIP were very professional and solved all my issues including SSL transfers etc immediately and I have found that loading times, email transit times and generally everything is now much much faster. I have also not yet experienced any downtime whereas previously with GoDaddy, there was at least 2-3 hours downtime every week. I highly recommend VentraIP.

We switched to VentraIP 2 years ago as we were very unhappy with our last web hosting provider. The transition was seamless and I only have very positive things to say about their technical support. Waiting times are non existent and the staff are very knowledgeable. I can highly recommend VentraIP!

Things We Get Asked All the Time

We've answered some of the most frequently asked questions.
What is WordPress Hosting?

WordPress Hosting is a specific website hosting designed to optimise WordPress websites with enhanced features, increased security, and simplified management.

What if I need more resources than the prescribed plan?

The Switch promotion offers our WordPress hosting plan, which has 10GB of SSD storage, 200% CPU and 2GB of memory (among features like a free SSL certificate). If you need more than the provided resources, upgrades are available during any stage after signup. However, this will cease the switch promotion, and the new plan’s cost will be payable once the upgrade has been finalised.

Will my site experience downtime as part of the switch?

Setting up your account with ourselves, creating your plan and even migrating your site data itself will incur no downtime whatsoever. Downtime can occur when the DNS on your domain name is changed to load the content from our servers rather than your current host. DNS propagation can take 4-8 hours but is often a lot faster. During this step, you can experience some downtime though most changes are seamless from one server to another.

When will I receive a reply from my switch application?

Applications will be processed by our Solutions team, who operate 9-5 Monday to Friday. Our team strives to reply to you within 1-2 business days to proceed with the switching process. If you submit your switch application on a Friday, you should expect a reply Monday, for example.

How long will it take to move my website?

Migrations will be booked as soon as we have the necessary login credentials to get your data moved across. These can be submitted anytime once logged into your VIPControl with a Migration Request. In most cases, the migration will occur as early as overnight, the same night your switch request is actioned and the details submitted. If the requested time slot has already been booked, you will be moved to the following night or another date of your choosing.

When does my free hosting expire?

VentraIP will match any remaining pre-paid period of your existing hosting service from the previous provider for up to 12 months free. The free hosting period will be rounded up to the nearest time frame of 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, based on your service expiry date. Our Solutions team will manually review every submission to ensure the correct free hosting period has been applied before approving your switch application.
