Frequently asked about Netregistry
How much does Netregistry cost at renewal?
Netregistry renews at $11.95/month — exactly double the $5.95/month intro rate. The renewal price kicks in on your second billing term. Longer contract lengths lock in the intro price longer, but the eventual renewal price stays the same across all plans.
Does Netregistry offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Netregistry offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on shared hosting. The refund window starts from your purchase date, giving you a risk-free trial period to test the service before committing long-term.
Is Netregistry good for WordPress hosting?
Netregistry supports WordPress with 1-click installation on shared plans and offers managed WordPress hosting for those wanting more. However, shared plans lack daily backups and LiteSpeed caching, which managed WordPress typically includes. Evaluate your backup and performance needs before choosing shared.
Does Netregistry include cPanel?
Yes. Netregistry includes cPanel on shared hosting plans, providing a familiar interface for file management, databases, email, and DNS. If you've used cPanel elsewhere, the control panel will feel at home on Netregistry.
What support channels does Netregistry offer?
Netregistry offers both phone support and live chat. Being Australia-based, support is aligned with Australian business hours. Contact options are available through their website for pre-sales and technical inquiries.
Where are Netregistry's servers located?
Netregistry hosts on Australian servers, making it a strong choice for Australian businesses and sites targeting local audiences. Low latency to Australia and data residency compliance are key advantages over offshore hosts.
