Three tiers to match where your business is today. Upgrade or downgrade any time — we never lock you in.
All plans include free DNS management, domain locking, 24/7 monitoring on Australian infrastructure, and direct access to our Melbourne consultants during business hours.
BlueGorilla started in 1996 in a spare bedroom in Emerald, helping the first wave of Melbourne businesses get on the emerging internet. We registered some of Australia's earliest .com.au names and watched the web mature — from dial-up modems to today's AI-powered search.
Through every technology cycle, one thing stayed constant: business owners want reliable partners who tell the truth. No jargon. No inflated sales pitches. No pressure. Just good advice, sharp pricing, and a phone call answered in Melbourne when something breaks.
We're consultants first, resellers second. If the cheapest plan is the right fit for your business, that's what we recommend. We don't make more on upsells.
When you call or email, you talk to someone who knows Victoria — knows the difference between Geelong and South Yarra, knows what a long weekend at the MCG means.
We've been through auDA rule changes, the .au direct launch, ICANN transfers, and every eligibility rule change since the 90s. We know the loopholes before they become problems.
Everything runs on proven Australian domain, hosting and email infrastructure — so you get carrier-grade reliability, local peering, and boutique-level personal attention from our Melbourne consultants.
"Switched our 14-domain portfolio from a national provider to BlueGorilla in 2023. DNS changeover happened on a Tuesday night, zero downtime, and our email actually lands in inboxes now. They also caught two renewals we were about to miss. Worth every dollar."
"I'm a sole-trade electrician in Essendon. I tried setting up my own website on a cheap host once and my email broke for a week. BlueGorilla did everything — domain, hosting, Gmail-style email, even walked me through phone setup. It just works. I tell every tradie I meet."
"Our WooCommerce store was timing out under load at Christmas. BlueGorilla migrated us to their WordPress Business plan, set up Redis and a CDN, and checkout speed dropped from 8 seconds to under 1.2. We actually processed Boxing Day orders without crashing. Unreal."
Can't find what you're looking for? Call us or send an email. We answer everything — even the "silly" questions (there are no silly questions when your livelihood depends on it).
Talk to a Human →With 30+ years of experience in the Melbourne market, we know which TLDs actually protect your brand, how to structure multi-domain portfolios correctly, and the eligibility rules for .au domains. We handle the paperwork, ABN/ACN verification, and DNS setup so you get it right the first time — no lost domains or broken email from misconfigured records.
We've seen businesses lose access to their primary domain because someone typed a typo in the registrant email. We've seen .com.au applications rejected for incorrect eligibility reasons. A consultant avoids those costly mistakes.
For Melbourne and Australian businesses we always recommend .com.au as the primary domain — it signals trust and local presence. Pair it with .au for short-brand redirects and .net.au if you operate in tech or infrastructure.
We also recommend defensive registrations — for instance, a café might register cafe.com.au, cafe.au, cafe.net.au, and then specific industry TLDs like .cafe or .melbourne when the budget allows. We tailor portfolios to industry and competitive environment.
Yes — our hosting plans run on Australian infrastructure with local support based in Melbourne. No offshore call centres. We specialise in cPanel Linux hosting, managed WordPress hosting tuned for WooCommerce and Australian traffic, and business email with full calendar/contacts sync.
Our hosting platform has points of presence in both Sydney and Melbourne, ensuring low-latency response times for Victorian visitors. For high-traffic sites we layer on Australian-edge CDN options.
Absolutely. Free migration is included on all Business and Professional plans. We copy your files, databases, and email mailboxes, test everything in a staging environment, then switch DNS outside business hours to ensure zero downtime for your Melbourne customers.
The migration typically takes 3-5 business days end-to-end depending on complexity. We give you a precise schedule and handle all coordination with your previous provider if you grant us temporary access. If your current host charges release fees, we disclose that up front.
Domain registration: instant for most gTLDs. .au domains typically activate within 1-2 business days once eligibility is confirmed (we verify your ABN/ACN documentation immediately on submission).
Hosting accounts: provisioned the same business day if we receive payment before 3pm Melbourne time. Done-for-you migrations typically complete 3-5 business days from kickoff. Urgent setups available for a small premium — just ask.
No catch. We display the actual first-year and renewal price on every TLD and plan. We don't use $0.99 teaser domains that renew at $49. We don't force multi-year bundles to get a reasonable rate. Our pricing model is simple: modest margin on our wholesale rates, disclosed clearly.
We stay in business because clients stay with us for decades. Chasing first-year discount churn is the opposite of how we operate.
Fill in your details once — we create your customer record, register your domains, and provision hosting & email through our secure provisioning pipeline. No redirects. No middlemen.
Drop us a note using the form. Or, if you'd rather talk to a real Melburnian directly, give us a call during business hours. We answer our own phones.
Specialising in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, outer east, and Gippsland — from Croydon & Lilydale through Pakenham, Warragul, Traralgon and out to Bairnsdale & Sale. On-site consults available across the region by appointment.
