Our network and company

An independent Australian hosting business since 2008, running our own network and hardware.

Who we are

Hosting since 2008, now with customers and resellers on every continent but one.

Ransom IT started as a shared hosting provider in a single datacentre. We grew quickly, adding services and locations as our customers needed them.

Today we provide VPS, dedicated servers and colocation to individuals and businesses around the world. We focus on flexible, customised services that give our customers real value.

We're not a reseller of anyone else's products. Our VPS nodes, dedicated servers and network hardware all belong to us.

Where we are

Services are available from all major Australian cities, as well as Auckland, Singapore and Tokyo.

How we run it

A decentralised network with no single core, built for redundancy and so each location stands on its own.

  • Performance-focused hardware. Solid state storage standard, in redundant pairs wherever possible. Most dedicated servers are on 10G ports.
  • Dedicated resources and a closely watched network. We monitor core connectivity continuously to keep performance consistent.
  • Independent points of presence. With a strong backbone network.
  • 24/7 emergency support. We have a solid record of communicating clearly and working with customers when technical issues happen.

Available in every location

Every service is available in all eight cities.
