have (officially) teamed up!
Get ready for a faster, more secure and dynamic website.
For more than 5 years, pointdot has excelled in digital marketing strategies, kicking big goals with their clients. As they expand, they’ve chosen to partner with us, Wolf IQ, to handle their client’s website hosting and maintenance. This strategic move allows them to focus on marketing strategies that drive their clients’ business growth. A perfect match!
What is website hosting and why do I need it?
Website hosting is like renting a spot on the internet where your website lives. It’s a service that makes sure your website is viewable to anyone who wants to visit it online. Just like you may need storage for physical products, a website needs a place to store its files and show them to people. This space is commonly referred to as a ‘server’.
pointdot’s web servers are being turned off very soon. They have negotiated a 25% discount for their clients to be applied to new website hosting plans…. Lucky you!
We place our client’s websites directly into Google’s cutting-edge servers. This means it will be ‘business as usual for your website, just with some enhanced capability, including:

Prefer to host elsewhere?
That’s cool, as much as we’d love to welcome you to the fam, there are no hard feelings. Simply email hello@wolfiq.com.au and let us know that you will be hosting elsewhere. We will arrange a copy of the website files for you.
Let's dive into some questions and answers
In short, yes. The server that your website is currently on is being decommissioned. We have worked with many hosting companies and believe that our setup with Google Cloud is one of the best. For us to be truly effective and guarantee your website’s performance, we require your website to be hosted on our servers. It’s a quick and painless task, which generally takes 20 – 60 minutes depending on the size of your website. We will take care of all of the heavy lifting. Of course, if you prefer to take your website to another hosting company, you are free to do so.
pointdot and Wolf IQ have had an ongoing relationship since pointdot was launched. Our company directors have long standing professional relationships and the respective teams communicate on an almost daily basis. We are the web specialists and pointdot are the digital marketing professionals. The two companies are the perfect compliment to each other.
Absolutely! You simply email your requirements to support@wolfiq.com.au and our team will quote you on the updates and then get to work. If you need regular updates, we will recommend one of our website care plans to give you even better ‘bang for your buck’.
You can securely checkout online, using your preferred credit card. We don’t store any credit card details and all payments are processed by Stripe.
All of our plans allow for up to 10,000 visits per month and up to 5GB of solid state storage. If you need more, no problems at all. Just let us know and we will create a custom plan for you.
Yes, absolutely. You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel your plan, as needed. We can help you to make the best choice if you need a little guidance. Feel free to call on 1300 072 134 or to email support@wolfiq.com.au.
Our servers are located in Google’s Cloud Data centres. We currently have access to more than 20 global servers. You can view the full network here.
There are three ways to submit a support request. The most popular is via email at support@wolfiq.com.au, or you can use the live chat on our website, or feel free to call on 1300 072 134. We look forward to hearing from you!
Our head office is located on George Street, Sydney, next to the Apple Store. We also have a small team of developers in the Phillipines. We can certainly meet in person if you are in Sydney! If you are elsewhere and would like a face-to-face catch up, just let us know and we will see what can be arranged.
Initially all we require is an administrator level login to your WordPress website. This will enable us to login and migrate a copy of your website over to our servers. We may also need your domain name logins, it just depends on how things have been setup already. Don’t stress though, we will step you through the requirements and help out as much as humanly possible.
In short, no. Email management can be quite specialised and it’s never a good idea to host your emails on your website server. We recommend either GSuite or Office 365 for email. We can certainly help you get started and for larger companies we can recommend some IT partners who excel in this area.
