The Melbourne hosting company that answers its own phone

Hi, I'm Tom.

Web Cat Hosting was founded in Melbourne in 2026 by me, Tom Brown. I'm an Australian who has spent my career working in tech, and I started Web Cat because I kept watching small Australian businesses get squeezed by hosting companies that were either offshore call-centre giants or resellers who vanished when something broke.

I wanted the thing I could never find as a customer: hosting on Australian servers, priced honestly in Australian dollars, where the person answering your support ticket is the same person who runs the platform. So I built it.

Deliberately small. Genuinely local.

Web Cat is a young company and a small one — and that is the point. Every client gets the founder, not a ticket queue. When you email hello@webcat.com.au, you get me. Your sites run on enterprise Australian infrastructure with NVMe storage, daily off-site backups and free SSL, but the service layer is a human who knows your name and your site.

What we promise

• Australian servers, full stop. Sydney data centre — your data stays onshore and your visitors get local-speed load times.
• Honest pricing. AUD, GST included, no teaser rates that triple at renewal.
• 30-day money-back guarantee. On every hosting plan, no hoops.
• Free, zero-downtime migrations. We move your cPanel sites and keep them online the whole way.
