Australian webhosting

[GTP]

Have a client who needs to have a website hosted but also wants to choose the hoster.
He does't want to use a US, UK or other company.
Any recommendations for an "Aussie" hosting company?
My suggestion of Crazy Domains was not accepted as an option because (apparently) they are owned by a US company.

TIA

I use SmartArtist

Based in Aus - with great local tech support as well.

I refer clients to web devs for hosting, but my own hosting provider is iiNet which is a good option if a customer wants a larger established Australian company. Lots of small businesses in my region use Telstra with internet and hosting bundles. If that customer has (or wants to use) Telstra internet they could negotiate a business package that includes hosting and it might be surprisingly competitive.

Hey thanks @frase. This looks ok and I'll make the suggestion.
@fincoder, thanks for those suggestions.
That was my first thought as well; why not use your dev?
He told me they use GoDaddy, so didn't want to go that way.

I'd have never thought of ISP's to do webhosting!

Couple of thoughts. Look for colo facilities and ask if they have anyone doing web hosting. Also many ISP's either do hosting or partner with hosts.

Gotcha, thanks @Markverhyden
Seeing the client later today so will have some discussion material available.

I recently signed up with VentraIP.com.au. Totally Australian, support is very responsive.

Thanks @glennd I'll throw this suggestion into the pot as well.

I moved from Hostgator to https://dreamithost.com.au/. They had good reviews when I was researching webhosting, and so far they seem to be OK.
