Not every "managed cloud" provider is the same. Most resell capacity from overseas hyperscalers, charge extra for essentials, and route your support calls offshore. We do none of those things — and the difference is felt every day you're a customer.
When Cloud365 was founded in 2011, most managed cloud hosting options for Australian businesses meant either expensive overseas providers with no local support, or generic shared hosting that could not handle real custom business applications. We saw the gap and filled it.
Cloud365 is a specialist managed application hosting provider — focused entirely on hosting, managing and supporting business software and custom applications for Australian companies. We are not a web hosting company. We are not a reseller of AWS or Azure capacity. We own our own infrastructure in Australian data centres and manage it with our own police-cleared Australian team.
We built our own infrastructure — owned outright, not rented — in Australian data centres. We hired local technical staff. We priced our services in Australian dollars at a fixed monthly rate. And we included the things most providers charged extra for: backups, monitoring, security, domain management.
Fifteen years later, that model is unchanged. We still own our infrastructure. Our support team is still local. Our pricing is still fixed. The only thing that's grown is our capacity and our client base — from small businesses in Melbourne to government departments and corporate clients across Australia.
These are not marketing points — they are structural decisions we made when building Cloud365 that affect your experience as a customer every single day. For Australian businesses comparing managed cloud hosting providers, these differences are the ones that matter most when something goes wrong.
Our hosting platform is purpose-built on HP, IBM and Cisco hardware — the same equipment used by major financial institutions and government departments. Every piece of infrastructure is owned outright by Cloud365 and managed by our team.
Cloud365 is run by a team of Australian technology professionals with decades of combined experience. Every person who touches your infrastructure is employed by Cloud365, police-cleared and under confidentiality agreement — not a contractor in an overseas support centre.
Our customers aren't all the same — they range from boutique legal firms to government departments to mining companies to clothing retailers. What they share is a need for business-critical software to be hosted reliably, managed professionally, and supported by people who know what they're doing.
The features in this table aren't nice-to-haves — they're things every business application in the cloud genuinely needs. See how Cloud365 stacks up against a typical overseas or reseller provider.
The way cloud hosting is priced matters as much as what it costs. Pay-by-the-hour billing creates anxiety and unpredictability. We offer a fixed monthly fee in Australian dollars — designed around your application, not a generic tier.
Our data, privacy and usage policies are publicly available and written in plain English. We believe you should know exactly how your data is handled before you become a customer.
