Maku

Hosting built by the people who build your site.

Our own environment, refined over 15-plus years of hosting WordPress and running more than 900 sites on it today. LiteSpeed servers, real security, and support from the developers who actually build on it.

How we work

The problem

Generic hosting wasn’t built for WordPress.

Most hosting is built to run anything: WordPress, a static site, a random PHP script from years ago. That flexibility comes at a cost. Caching is basic, support has no real idea how WordPress works, and when your site slows down on a Monday morning, you’re in a ticket queue with everyone else.

That gap is what our own environment was built to close. We sell it through our hosting brand, Skyrack, and it is tuned for one platform rather than all of them: a cPanel stack built around WordPress, LiteSpeed for caching, CloudLinux keeping every account isolated, and Imunify360 watching for malware.

What you get

What every plan includes.

Speed: LiteSpeed servers

LiteSpeed web servers and LiteSpeed Cache, so pages load fast without a stack of caching plugins.

Security: CloudLinux and Imunify360

A firewall, malware detection and proactive defence, with every account isolated so one site can’t affect another.

Support: by WordPress developers

The people answering are the people who build WordPress sites. Troubleshooting, tuning or advice, we know the platform.

Stability: modern Dell servers

Reliable hardware and a tuned environment keep your site available and responsive around the clock, with 99.9% uptime.

Backups: nightly or on demand

Nightly off-site backups on every plan. On-demand or more frequent backups for sites that need longer retention.

Management: full cPanel access

Email, databases, files and installs from one familiar interface. It also lets us support you properly.

Process

How a move to our hosting runs.

Review your current setup

We look at your site, traffic and any special requirements before recommending a plan.

Build the new environment

We set up your cPanel account and configure LiteSpeed caching, usually within a day.

Migrate for free

We copy the live site across at no cost and switch DNS, timed so visitors never see a gap.

Confirm and monitor

We check everything loads correctly, then leave nightly backups and monitoring running from day one.

Fit

When our hosting isn’t the right fit.

If you’re expecting a huge, unpredictable traffic spike, like a launch with no forecast of how big it’ll get, a server sized for that event will usually serve you better than a standard plan. Get in touch and we’ll say so plainly rather than sell you a tier that’ll struggle.

We also only host WordPress. If you’re running a separate app or a non-WordPress platform alongside your site, that part will need hosting elsewhere.

Why Maku

Why people host with us.

We’re 100% Aboriginal owned and operated, and we’ve been building and hosting WordPress sites for over 15 years. Support comes from the same developers who build WordPress sites for a living, not a generic ticket desk reading from a script.

  • Free migration from your current host, and no lock-in contract if you ever want to leave.
  • 99.9% uptime on modern Dell servers, with nightly off-site backups and on-demand backups available.
  • Because we host and build the sites, our maintenance plans and security service plug straight in with no handoff between providers.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Can you move my site to your hosting?

Yes, migration from your current host is free. See migrations for how we handle a move with no downtime and no lost rankings.

What’s your uptime like?

We run on modern Dell servers with a stated 99.9% uptime. Every account is monitored, and the WordPress Management Service add-on includes 24/7 uptime monitoring on top of that.

Do you host email too?

We can through cPanel, but honestly, we usually point clients to Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for email. Business email deliverability is a specialised problem, and those platforms solve it better than shared web hosting.

Do I need a maintenance plan as well as hosting?

Hosting keeps the environment fast, secure and backed up. Our maintenance plans keep WordPress itself updated and include hours for changes. Our own WordPress Management Service add-on covers core, theme and plugin updates plus uptime monitoring for less, if that’s all you need.

Can I keep my domain somewhere else?

Yes. Your domain and your hosting don’t need to sit with the same provider, and we’re happy to work with whichever registrar you already use.

What happens if I leave?

You take your files, database and domain with you, with full cPanel access the whole way through. Hosting runs month to month with 30 days’ notice to cancel, no lock-in contract and no exit fee.
