Amazon Web Services infrastructure, free SSL, nightly backups and uptime monitoring we actually watch. The same servers we put our largest builds on, run by the people who build WordPress sites for a living.
Basic WordPress hosting is a hosting plan without a maintenance plan on top. You get the server, a free SSL certificate, nightly backups kept for 30 days and uptime monitoring we watch.
We run it on Amazon Web Services in Sydney or Auckland, the same infrastructure behind our largest builds. Choose Auckland and your site is hosted in New Zealand. What you are not paying for is our time each month, and that is what makes it our entry level plan rather than a cheaper server.
If your website is built using WordPress, yes!

We have ‘adopted’ over 800 websites made by other web companies – helping host, maintain and evolve them.
Cheap hosting is not a scam. It is a different product, priced for volume, and the economics only work if almost nobody needs help.
We have adopted more than 800 sites built by other people, so we see the same six problems again and again. The monthly bill is never the part that hurts.
Every site we host runs on Amazon Web Services, with SSL, nightly backups and monitoring that alerts us the moment something goes down. There is no cheaper shelf we put the smaller sites on, and no neighbour whose traffic spike becomes your problem.
You can pick Sydney or Auckland. Auckland keeps your site and its data in New Zealand, which matters if you have obligations about where things are stored.
The one difference on a basic plan is that monthly WordPress and plugin updates are yours to run rather than ours. If you would rather hand that over, our managed plans cover it, and we can help by the hour whenever you need us.

AWS regions to choose from: Auckland and Sydney
Your site sits on AWS in Sydney or Auckland, the same infrastructure we put our largest builds on. Choose Auckland and the site is hosted in New Zealand.
Lock it down! Get free SSL certificates because your site’s security shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Oops-proof your site with daily backups. It’s like a time machine for your data—no flux capacitor required.
Keep an eye on things! Our real-time monitoring tools ensure you’re always in the loop with what’s happening on your site.
Surf’s up! With unlimited bandwidth, your site can ride the wave of traffic without wiping out.
10 GB on Basic, 20 GB on Plus, 40 GB on Pro, and bandwidth is unlimited on all three. Real numbers, not a fair-use clause you find out about later.
Say goodbye to license headaches! We handle all your plugin license management needs, so you can focus on your business.
Pro covers FacetWP, Gravity Perks, WPML, WP All Migrate and image compression. Licences we would otherwise be asking you to buy one at a time.
Pro gives you a copy of the site to break safely. Try the update there first, then push it live once you know it holds.
You are not on a retainer, but you are not on your own either. When something needs a person who knows WordPress, we are here and we bill for the time we spend.
Start on Basic and shift to a managed plan the month you decide you would rather not think about it. Same server, same site, no rebuild.
Updates run on your schedule rather than ours. For teams with their own developer or a set release process, that is the point of a basic plan rather than a drawback.
We have been hosting purely WordPress websites over the last 15 years, we know how to take care of things so they last.
Your site sits on AWS in Sydney or Auckland, the same infrastructure we put our largest builds on. Choose Auckland and the site is hosted in New Zealand.
Keep an eye on things! Our real-time monitoring tools ensure you’re always in the loop with what’s happening on your site.

Three tiers. The server is the same on all of them, the licences are the difference.
Hosting on its own. For people who look after their own WordPress and want a fast, safe place to put it.
Our most common plan. Adds the plugin licences most Brontë-built sites rely on to keep working.
Adds premium licences and a staging site, so you can test a change before it reaches anyone.
All prices are + GST per month. These are hosting plans rather than maintenance plans, so monthly WordPress and plugin updates are yours to run and we can help by the hour whenever you need it. Migrations and premium SEO plugin licences are quoted separately. Want us to look after the site as well? Managed plans start at $100 + GST a month.
Brontë runs WordPress on Amazon Web Services for organisations across New Zealand and Australia. When a site outgrows a basic plan, there are two ways up.

Dedicated WordPress Hosting from $250 + GST a month
The infrastructure is the same across all three. What changes is how much of the work sits with you.
AWS hosting, free SSL, nightly backups and uptime monitoring, from $50 + GST a month. For teams who look after their own WordPress. You are reading its page.
We run WordPress too. Monthly core and plugin updates, licences and a team who already knows the site. For when updates keep slipping down the list.
Your own server, sized to your traffic. For busy sites where slow or down costs real money.
