Hosti
For Australian trade businesses

A websitethat actuallyworks.

Either you’re paying an agency far too much for a slow site you can’t change, or you’ve got a Facebook page and a hope. Both cost you jobs.

01 Why it matters

A real domain is the cheapest credibility you will ever buy.

Customers judge in about two seconds. A free builder subdomain tells them you’re having a go on the weekend. Your own domain tells them you’re a business that will still be here next year.

It costs roughly $20 a year. We’ll register it, or move the one you already own across, at no charge.

We practise what we sell — this site runs on hosti.live, not a free preview URL.

03 How it works
01

Tell us what you've got

Two minutes on your phone. Who hosts you now, what you pay, what you paid to have it built. No site at all is the easiest case to fix.

02

We tell you what it should cost

A straight answer, usually same day. Sometimes that answer is “your setup is fine, leave it alone” — we'll say so.

03

We build it and it goes live

$500, paid when you're happy, not before. Live in about a week. Then $5 a month and we handle the boring parts.

04 The entire price list

The build

$500once, ever

  • A real custom site, not a template with your logo on it
  • Your services, suburbs, licence numbers and photos
  • A quote form that emails you the second it's filled in
  • Set up to show for your trade plus your suburb
  • Paid when you're happy with it, not before

The hosting

$5a month, no lock-in

  • Loads in under a second on 4G
  • SSL, backups and security handled — you never see it
  • Small text and photo changes included, just ask
  • Your domain registered or moved across free
  • Cancel any time and take the site with you

Domain registration is about $15–$25 a year, paid to the registrar rather than to us.

05 Fair questions
$500 all up? What's the catch?

None. $500 is the build, once. $5 a month keeps it online. It isn't $5,000 because we use AI tooling for the heavy lifting, so a build that took an agency three weeks takes us a few days. We pass that on instead of pocketing it.

Am I locked in?

No. Hosting is month to month. Cancel any time and we hand over the site files and point your domain wherever you want, free. We'd rather you stayed because it's good value than because you're stuck.

What if I already have a site?

We look at it honestly first. If it works and you're paying a fair price, we'll tell you to keep it. If it's a WordPress site you can't edit, takes six seconds to load, on a $79 plan you forgot you signed — that's the one we fix.

How is $5 a month even possible?

The sites we build are static. No database, no server sitting idle costing money. They're served from a global edge network that's genuinely cheap at this scale. WordPress hosting is expensive because WordPress is expensive to run, not because hosting has to be.

What about changes later?

New photos, price changes, a new service, updated hours — included. Send a message, we do it. A whole new section gets quoted separately and you'll know the number before we start.

Find out what you’re overpaying.

Six questions, about two minutes, no phone call unless you ask for one. If your current setup is good value we’ll tell you to keep it.
