Reliable, secure hosting designed for Australian businesses.
App Forge offers both managed hosting, where we handle updates, security and backups for you, and self-managed hosting for those who prefer full control.
Our managed hosting runs on Australian-based servers, backed by local support to keep your website fast, secure and online.
If you prefer to manage your own hosting environment, we offer a range of automated hosting plans with instant setup and full control.
Perfect for developers, agencies, and experienced users who want flexibility and scalability.
Self-managed hosting powered by cPanel, giving you full control over your websites, email accounts, databases, and DNS settings.
All-in-one website packages where App Forge handles the setup and management so you can focus on running your business.
Includes hosting, email setup, website builder tools, and optional ecommerce features.
Self-managed doesn’t mean unsupported. The App Forge team provides direct local support whenever you need assistance — no overseas call centres.
Yes. You can transfer your domain to App Forge or keep it with your current provider and simply connect it to your hosting account using DNS settings.
If you're unsure how to do this, our team can assist with domain setup, DNS configuration, and connection to your hosting environment to make the process simple and stress-free.
If you’re new to domains, you can also learn more in our What is a Domain? guide.
Yes. We offer free website migration for new clients. In most cases, our team can migrate your existing website to App Forge hosting, taking care of everything from backups and file transfers to databases and DNS updates to ensure a smooth and stress-free transition with little to no downtime.
However, some website builders such as Wix, Squarespace, Zoho Sites, and other closed platforms do not allow direct website migration. In these cases, the website may need to be rebuilt on a new platform such as WordPress.
If you're unsure what platform your website is currently using, our team can review your website and recommend the best approach for moving it to App Forge.
Our managed hosting plans are hosted on our primary server located in Australia, providing fast performance and reliable connectivity for Australian businesses and their customers.
In some cases, we can also provide hosting on alternative server locations, such as European infrastructure, depending on your website requirements.
Our self-managed hosting plans are provisioned through secure enterprise hosting infrastructure operated by our trusted hosting partner, with servers located in multiple global regions to ensure reliability and performance.
Yes. You can upgrade your hosting plan at any time as your website grows.
If you’ve already paid for a plan, the remaining value of your current plan can be credited toward your upgrade, making the transition simple and cost-effective.
Monthly plans have no lock-in contracts and can be cancelled at any time.
Yearly plans include two months free, offering the best value, and run for the full billing period once activated.
If you're unsure which plan is right for you, our team is happy to help you choose the best option for your website.
