Australian VPS Comparison

What is a VPS?

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. A VPS is a private server in the same way a dedicated server is. You should have full root access to do what you like to it.
Reboot it when you like. Turn it on or off when you like.

The private server is provided using virtualization as a virtual machine, hence the virtual private server.

Why should I host in Australia?

If your service is primarily targeted at Australians you will get much better response times by using local VPS Hosting. Not to mention you’ll also get an SEO benefit as well as dealing with a local Australian Business.

Last but not least you’ll also be helping the Australian economy as we’re an Australian business with Australian Staff.

Why use SSD storage?

Great question! We hosting providers host all kinds of services for all kinds of businesses. This creates a truly random and unpredictable storage IOPS (input output operations per second) load.

The problem with traditional spinning HDDs is that they don’t perform so well on random IO jobs. SSDs on the other hand perform up-to 70 times faster on random I/O loads!

These guys are fantastic, they get straight on to and resolve any queries I may have within minutes rather than hours or days. Their annual fees are unbelievably reasonable and the additional, very well priced, annual support contract is worth its weight in gold.

Nothing is too difficult for ServerMule. They are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable. They communicate clearly and precisely and solve all of my issues promptly and with a smile. I have multiple servers with them and they are solid, fast and very well priced.As my business needs grow, I find I am more reliant on them to work with me to serve my clients' needs. I can't recommend them highly enough.

The support staff are very knowledgable, local, and they understand how critical our problems were even if they were small. They amazingly answer within minutes and are available around the clock when you need them. We have a combination of VPS and web hosting and found that Servermule servers are very fast !!

I have tried a number of hosting providers before finding Servermule. I find them prompt and reliable and a great team to work with.

I've been a ServerMule customer for about four years. In that time I can think of only one or two significant service interruptions, and in those cases they did a good job of keeping me posted on what was going on, and addressing the fault in a timely manner. They have also worked with me to setup non-standard VPS environments, which I greatly appreciate. Their normal quality of service is excellent and you would be hard-pressed to find a better VPS provider at a similar price-point.

Have been using them for 2 years. Switched to them because of such a reliable service which I wasn't getting from the bigger players!

After 10 years of struggling with other hosting companies I have finally been able to focus on my business and not have to deal with endless outages and overseas support teams that don't speak english. My only regret is not moving my VPS account to ServerMule sooner!

The support has been fantastic. Almost no wait time, the guy that answered the phone was able to my questions right away. I'm so glad I switched from HostGator.

Service is amazing and uptime truly fantastic, over one year on the VDS and zero downtime and fantastic consistency even under fairly heavy load. The tech savvy will appreciate the great prices, flexibility and speed of servermules web hosting solutions. Helpful staff to be commended too...

ServerMule are definitely worth it! They were extremely helpful and full of great advice. They made sure that our website migrated successfully and fixed any issues they came across straight away while keeping me in the loop! Thank you so much for all your help!

I'm usually not the one who take time out for feedback. I know, I'm lazy however for Server Mule, they're worth my time. Being a newbie to hosting and VPS's, I've required a fair few open cases to get my servers up and running because of my lack of experience. The continued prompt and knowledgeable response provides me confidence I've made the right choice for my website. Our website is quick and responsive and I've had ZERO issues. I highly recommend Server Mule for all types of Cloud Hosting.

ServerMule provide exactly what they say they will - affordable VPS without unnecessary frills. I've only had to contact support once (which turned out to be my lack of understanding a particular facet), and I was super impressed by the speedy turnaround.

I've been using Server Mule's VPS hosting for prototype software and the machine has been running solidly with no faults. This is really cost effective for $10/month for a quick way to get up and running on a VPS host.
