Hosting & WordPress care
Web hosting & WordPress maintenance in Sydney
Fast, secure, fully looked-after websites, so you can run your business instead of your website.
IT Inspire provides managed web hosting and WordPress maintenance for Sydney and Australian businesses. Your site runs on Sydney-based LiteSpeed servers, and our Parramatta team keeps it updated, backed up, secure and monitored — with plans from $99.99 per month.
Website hosting is the server that keeps your site online. Website maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps the software healthy: WordPress updates, backups, security checks, monitoring and small fixes. IT Inspire Pty Ltd bundles both for Australian businesses — Sydney LiteSpeed hosting, specialist WordPress care, and local support from Parramatta — including sites we did not originally build. Plans are month to month, with 30 days’ notice.
Why it matters
Why your website needs ongoing hosting and maintenance
A WordPress website is software, and software needs care. Skip updates and small problems grow: a plugin conflict takes down your contact form, an outdated component becomes an entry point for malware, or pages creep past the few seconds visitors will wait. Most owners only find out when a customer tells them, or when enquiries quietly dry up.
Faster pages keep visitors on the site long enough to call, book or buy.
Speed, HTTPS and an error-free site support how Google evaluates your website.
Updates, backups and monitoring cut the chance of downtime, data loss and hacks — and shorten recovery when something does go wrong.
No more logging in to click “update” and hoping nothing breaks. We test, update and report.
Hosting, maintenance, email and domain support from one local team — not three companies blaming each other.
What’s covered
WordPress maintenance by specialists
IT Inspire has been designing, building and supporting WordPress websites for more than 10 years. Updating safely takes more than pressing a button: plugins can conflict, themes can break, and a careless update can take a live site offline.
Daily backups
Files and database backed up every day and kept for 7 days, so a failed update or accidental deletion can be restored.
Security & spam
SSL checks, spam protection on forms and comments, and server software kept current to reduce malware risk.
Monitoring
Premium and Online Store plans add uptime and broken-link monitoring, plus database performance optimisation.
Included developer time
1, 3 or 5 hours a month for content edits, small design tweaks, a new section, staff photos or minor fixes.
Monthly report
What we updated, what we fixed, backup status, and what we recommend next — in plain English.

Hosting
Sydney-based LiteSpeed web hosting
LiteSpeed is built to serve WordPress quickly and handle traffic spikes. Hosting in Sydney means a shorter path between your website and Australian customers, and your site data stays in Australia.
Speed
LiteSpeed server technology and caching help pages load quickly on desktop and mobile.
SSL included
A premium SSL certificate for every regular hosting customer, checked so the padlock does not lapse.
Server care
We maintain the server software to reduce the risk of hacking and malware injection.
Email & domains
We can manage your domain and DNS, and set up Google Workspace email on your own domain. Workspace is billed separately.
You own it
Your domain stays in your business’s name. There is no lock-in beyond 30 days’ notice.
One team
Hosting is managed by us, so there is no separate host to chase when something needs fixing.

The difference
Web hosting vs website maintenance
Hosting keeps your website online. Maintenance keeps it working well. Cheap hosting on its own leaves the updates to you.
Who it’s for
Who our hosting and maintenance plans are for
Service businesses
Tradies, clinics, professional services and consultants who rely on the site for calls, quotes and bookings.
Online stores
WooCommerce shops where downtime or a broken checkout costs sales. See our eCommerce web design.
Sites built by someone else
We review security, plugins, speed and hosting first, then move the site to our hosting — or maintain it where it is. If it needs a rebuild, that sits with web design.
Growing businesses
A long-term partner for the website, plus SEO and business automation when you are ready — not just a hosting login.

Frequently asked questions
How much does website hosting and maintenance cost in Sydney?
Plans start at $99.99 per month for Essential, $199.99 for Premium, and $299.99 for Online Store. Every plan includes Sydney LiteSpeed hosting, daily backups, software updates, security checks and local support. Larger or custom websites are quoted individually. Plans are month to month, with 30 days’ notice.
What is included in a website maintenance plan?
WordPress core, plugin and theme updates, daily backups kept for 7 days, SSL checks, spam protection, email and phone support, a monthly report, and a block of developer time (1, 3 or 5 hours). Premium and Online Store add uptime monitoring, broken-link monitoring and database optimisation. Online Store also adds cache optimisation and WooCommerce maintenance.
What is the difference between web hosting and website maintenance?
Hosting is the server that stores your website and makes it available online. Maintenance is the work that keeps the site healthy: updates, backups, monitoring and fixes. A website needs both. IT Inspire bundles them so one local team is responsible for speed, security and uptime.
Where are your servers located?
Hosting is based in Sydney, Australia. That shortens load times for Australian visitors and keeps your website data in Australia.
How often do you back up my website?
Every day, and each backup is kept for 7 days. If an update fails, something is deleted, or there is a security incident, we can restore a recent working version.
Do I get an SSL certificate?
Yes. Regular hosting customers receive a premium SSL certificate, and we check it as part of maintenance so it does not lapse unnoticed.
Can you host a website that IT Inspire did not build?
Yes. We start with a free health check of the software, plugins, security and speed, tell you about any issues, then move it to our hosting and bring it up to date. We can also maintain a site where it is. Major repairs are quoted before work starts.
What happens if my website gets hacked?
Prevention comes first: current WordPress and plugins, server updates, and daily backups. If a site is compromised, we restore a clean backup and close the vulnerability. Downtime and security issues are handled the same business day.
Do you provide business email hosting?
We set up and manage Google Workspace so your team can use professional email on your domain, with Gmail, Calendar and Drive. Google Workspace is billed separately from website hosting. We can also manage domain renewals and DNS.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Plans are month to month and can be cancelled with 30 days’ notice. Your domain stays in your business’s name.
Do I need maintenance if my website is new?
Yes. Updates and security fixes start arriving within weeks of launch, and backups matter most before anything goes wrong.
Do you maintain Elementor or Divi websites?
Yes. If speed is a problem, we’ll also tell you whether a rebuild would cost less over time.
