VentraIP
VentraIP was founded in 2010 and is the largest privately owned web hosting and domain name registrar in Australia. They are 100% Australian owned and operated.
VentraIP have acquired a few smaller web service providers over the last few years and it seems unlikely that they will be bought by any other company in the meantime.
They have grown steadily, mostly relying on word of mouth rather than big advertising campaigns or through affiliate sales.
VentraIP resells web hosting and domain registration services through their Synergy Wholesale brand and also had a budget web hosting and domain registration service under the Zuver brand until April 20201 when Zuver was phased out in favour of VentraIP.
