Panthur is my web host of choice for Australian small businesses.
To be clear, there are lots of hosting options out there. Some are more expensive than others, some offer different benefits, and it can be difficult to compare apples-to-apples at times.
For me, there are three deciding factors for any website host. They are:
- Are they easy to use?
- Is there support helpful and responsive?
- Are they charging market rates?
From my perspective, Panthur ticks all three boxes with ease.
But the area that I’ve found them to excel in (above other website hosts I’ve used) is their support. I have raised a LOT of support tickets over the years, for myself and for my clients. In that time every call I’ve put in with Panthur has been answered within a minute, I’ve spoken to an Australian representative, and typically everything has been sorted in under 10 minutes. By comparison, some other hosts have used off-shore call centres, pointed me towards their FAQs (which I’ve usually read before making the call), or bounced the call around their Level 2 support team.
If you’re after a good local host, and you don’t want any additional stress if something ever goes wrong, then have a look at Panthur.
