Netports Australia is an internet technology and online infrastructure service provider with core competencies in the delivery of internet based hosting solutions. Highest quality industry leading website hosting services, secure e-commerce transaction systems, website design and development services and domain name registrations are examples of our individual business-to-customer enterprises.
Founded by Peter Thwaites in 1999, Netports Australia is wholly owned by Peter who is a hands-on owner/operator. Peter's brother Chris, with a wealth of banking and financial accounting industry experience to his credit, joined Netports Australia in 2004 and now oversees the e-Path credit card payment gateway operations and manages the billing and accounting department of Netports Australia in Brisbane.
Netports Australia is 100% Australian owned and is now managed out of Cairns, North Queensland, Australia. Netports Australia utilise datacenters in Brisbane, Melbourne, Dallas and Altanta to deliver the highest possible performance and reliability across its range of core product and service offerings. We do not own any of these datacenters . . . not yet.
When you choose Netports Australia to provide a service, you are in proud Australian hands.
Netports Australia's Philosophy - To provide the quality of service we would expect to receive ourselves as a website hosting customer or hosting reseller. Its really as simple as that!
Quality & Affordability - Netports Australia has built a reputation on providing unusually high quality at very affordable prices. We don't have three story office blocks in every state of Australia nor do we have a fleet of company cars. We are a lean, mean hosting machine so you get more, much more, for a lot less.
Best Hosting Servers - All servers are periodically upgraded to ensure our customers enjoy the best hosting infrastructure, are tested daily for speed and stability issues, and monitored 24/7 by skilled system administrators. Quad Xeon™ 2.8 Ghz with 4 GIG RAM and RAID array HDD's are specifications you are not likely to find being offered by many Australian webhosts, at least not for anywhere remotely near our pricing. But that's what we are about. Its what we do.
There Are Cheaper Alternatives - If we hosted on a batch of old single CPU servers with only 512 MEG RAM or less, maybe had a cheaper control panel instead of cPanel™ and had them located in sub-standard datacenters then we could easily reduce our hosting prices considerably. But our clients would only be getting the same type of hosting that is common place and our support department would be running red-hot. Sorry, but that type of hosting model can be left for the other webhosts out there. While we do come reasonably close to being amongst the least expensive webhosts in Australia, the truth is we are not. If you want the absolute cheapest website hosting, then you're looking at the wrong website.
No Gimmicks - While many other webhosts may rely on expensive advertising, cheap prices, colourful websites and service gimmicks to gain attention, Netports Australia prefers to rely on our existing customers spreading the word about their experiences with us. In our opinion, nothing is more powerful advertising than a recomendation from a hosting client who is having their expectations met every minute of every day, month after month. We appreciate the business of each and every client, and accordingly, this is where we channel our efforts in every respect.
Thanking Existing Clients - As a way to show our appreciation to existing clients when they refer a new hosting client to us, we credit their account with one months worth of hosting on their next billing cycle. We don't make a fuss about it, or overly advertise it, we just do it. The key motivation for a referral has to be because of the quality and reliability of what we provide, and not because there is a reward in it.
