TL;DR: 15 years as a customer. They destroyed a client’s website, misled me for 23 days, blocked my support access mid-incident, and refused accountability. ACCC complaint ready. QCAT claim coming.
If you’re considering Digital Pacific, understand the risk. If something breaks, there’s a real chance no one answers calls or tickets, your incident gets marked low priority, and any eventual response may be incorrect. Your site could stay down for weeks. If you escalate, your support access may be removed while issues remain open. When you push for accountability, it may be dismissed as routine maintenance and your losses treated as your problem.

I was with Digital Pacific for 15 years and referred over a dozen clients. This is what that meant:
In early March 2026, I found my shared hosting was running on infrastructure that reached end of life in 2020, with no security patches for years. I raised it expecting a routine upgrade. Support told me modern Node.js could not run on shared hosting and pushed me toward higher cost plans. That was false. Their own staff later confirmed they already run modern shared hosting capable of current software, and acknowledged the conflicting info in writing.
In the same ticket, I was told migration to modern shared hosting would cost $99. Also false. It was later confirmed migrations under their upgrade program were free. That was not disclosed when the fee was raised.
Digital Pacific then promised in writing both my accounts would be migrated at no cost and I’d receive advance notice before either move.
What happened: a stable client site was migrated with no formal notice. The only mention was a side note buried in a reply on a thread I could no longer respond to. The migration failed. The database was destroyed. The site went down. Digital Pacific did not tell me the migration occurred, failed, or that the database was gone. I found out when my client reported the outage nearly a week later.
Support then collapsed.
I raised a Critical ticket. No action for 35 hours. The first reply was boilerplate. No timeline, no cause, no acknowledgment of deadlines I’d set. Just “we’re working on it” from a provider that had already contradicted itself.
The day I learned the site was down, I called and was put on hold for 1 hour 13 minutes before disconnecting. I simultaneously opened a Chat in their website that ran 3 hours 15 minutes without any response before auto closing for “no response detected,” framing their silence as my failure.
On a CRITICAL issue...
I sent formal notice: restore the database by a set deadline or I’d be forced to perform emergency rebuild work and bill them. Deadline passed. No response. No restore attempt. No contact.
Every ticket in this period had at least a 24 hour delay before any reply. Some as long as a week. Critical issues, data loss, formal escalations... same result.
When replies did arrive, they were dismissive, inconsistent, or wrong. One staff member saw the temporary landing page I built because the real site was gone, confirmed it loaded, and considere the issue resolved. They did not check the database or actual functionality. They treated a placeholder, created due to their failure, as proof everything was fine. That pattern repeated. Poor assumptions, incorrect responses, and even when I replied immediately, I waited another 24 hours or more.
When I requested a refund, they redirected the ticket to an unrelated thread and marked it answered. No mention of a refund. No acknowledgment at all.
At no point did Digital Pacific accept responsibility. Not for false statements, the failed migration, the destroyed database, weeks of non response, removal of support access, or the unauthorized change to my account email while I had no access and active complaints open.
They repeatedly claimed in writing the database was restored while the site showed a database connection error for 14 days after the first claim. Actual restoration occurred on 4 April 2026... 23 days after the failure.
I have an ACCC complaint prepared and am pursuing recovery via QCAT. I’ve retained full ticket history, all correspondence, invoices, and written admissions.
15 years. Over a dozen referrals. This is the outcome.

Always been a great business to deal with, fast and efficient.

We have been with Digital Pacific for over 7 years
While the service was owned by an Australian business, it was expertly managed. We have a managed server. The costs is expensive and it used to be worth it.
NOT ANY MORE.
Then the support for the service went offshore to the Philippines, and India, with still some tech support for a VPN server [ which is what we have]
The tech took the call , based on a support ticket.
The whole thing is a mess now- no more answering the phone, no phone support, only online chat. Staff answering the phone obviously need the income- there is a language barrier, negative response to a female voice , particularly from India, staff who dont have the technical background to understand the details of the problem let alone the solution
SO NOW- NO MORE VOICES ON A PHONE WHO DONT KNOW. NOW WE DEAL WITH AI - appalling
I have had many experience with terrible service over the last 6 month from poorly trained staff
Response to tickets have been slower and slower- so the new corporate owners have obviously cut staff numbers and the ones who are left are sitting on the Titanic- w/o training and dealing with clients whose business is being impacted on. The phone staff just dont know.
Im trying to sort out an issue now with them- and if its simple? it may be resolved. They dont read the details of the problem on the ticket. They must be on the clock to solve the problem super fast.
I dread a migration with them'
Avoid them if u can
UPDATED REVIEW
I have been asked to provide more detail regarding this latest problem- there have been so many issues that the latest one is one of the many that I have been required to deal with - NO TRAINED STAFF
Digital replies to any negative feedback is a SIMPLY template they trot out. They are putting it back onto me to give them detail
I would spend hours each time trying to sort out past issues. Digital asks for more detail to avoid solving the problems of lack of trained staff.
The problem remains since going offshore - not enough trained staff in the more complex VPN server , not enough staff, staff who have no idea what to reply unless they see it on the script in front of them. No more of that anyway- its all being referred to AI and emails that take days to see a response if you are lucky and then of course that it answers the question
THAT IS MY UPDATE FROM MY DIGITAL BAD EXPERIENCES

Antwort von Digital Pacific
After their upgrade they deleted my main reseller account, destroyed my customer sites within my reseller account and then nothing.. several escalations, tickets, chat bots and never answering calls. Obscene solutions provided in tickets with massive delays. In progress migrating off the platform. Very disappointing and a direct breach of their own SLA. VCAT Here I come, Destroyed a once very established online presence for my business and crushed brand and customers within. I cant believe I'm leaving a review in the hope of some communication from this once good provider. Out of pocket transferring multiple customers to retain business. Woeful.

Antwort von Digital Pacific
Not only did you NOT RESOLVE MY EMAIL ISSUE AFTER 2 MONTHS (this was caused by YOU changing servers) but then you IGNORED my secure message to CLOSE MY ACCOUNT, and proceeded to TAKE MY MONEY from my VISA card, even though there was a STOP ORDER on the payment at SUNCORP bank.
When I rang customer service and asked to escalate the complaint to a supervisor, I was told there was no one available.

Antwort von Digital Pacific
I have been with them for 15 years-they dod an upgrade and now my website doesn’t even load. 2 support tickets later - no communication whatsoever. Pretty disappointing!

Antwort von Digital Pacific
Since changing hands to foreign owners.. This company has not only broken our entire hosting and workflow, their support is NON-EXISTENT. I have now called several times, waited over 30 mins on hold and had the calls just magically disconnect every time. The online chat says "You will need to wait a minute for service" that 30 mins later turns into "Your wait time is now 10 minutes" then every 10 minutes repeats with "Your wait is 10 minutes".
When you do reach a rep (I've had to make several calls) they literally prompt some AI agent or a sorely flogged out experienced person who is literally helping every inexperienced rep who answers the phone.
I did remove my previous 1 star review but again.. issues persist. there is no solutions and promises that were made simply aren't happening.
Please avoid Digital Paciifc.
Oh and before you" copy/pastes the same review reply message they have for everyone else, please don't bother. Your company is completely cooked since digital pacific sold offshore.

Antwort von Digital Pacific
Simple and complex problems always persist, however the support team at DP promptly resolves these matters, regardless in these awkward times its great to have reliable support when needed.

Antwort von Digital Pacific
I have asked a number of times to review my account and websites. Yet almost two month later still no information based on a phone conversation. I gave a ticket about this and asked for a manager or senior supervisor to contact me yet still nothing.

Antwort von Digital Pacific
Have been with Digital Pacific for over 13 years. DP used to be awesome. Really good support, based in Australia. They were more expensive, but it was worth it. Now, they are still more expensive, but support is horrible. Now you wait over an hour to speak to someone in the Philippines who doesn't even understand the technical issue I need help with.

Antwort von Digital Pacific
Digital Pacific used to be a good service. Not anymore. I have been trying to update my website and I can't get in. I contacted tech support and have been on hold for 2 hours now. I will now have to look at other companies in Oz.

Antwort von Digital Pacific
Following a recent infrastructure migration by Digital Pacific, we have experienced multiple issues affecting services and account functionality. Since the migration, we have raised several support requests and currently have five unresolved tickets.
Response times have been slow, with tickets sitting in “Awaiting INC” for extended periods, and follow-up has been difficult. Attempts to contact support by phone have also involved lengthy hold times (over an hour in most cases).
The main concern is not any single issue, but the combination of:
• multiple post-migration problems
• five open unresolved tickets
• delayed or limited communication
• difficulty contacting support
When migrations for business services occur, timely communication and responsive support are critical. At the moment, it has been challenging to obtain updates or resolution.
Hoping to see improvements in responsiveness and follow-through.
The oldest ticket was opened 16th February, over 5 weeks ago!

Antwort von Digital Pacific
EDITED TO ADD
Don't be fooled by the copy and paste answer on my post from DP that is the same on EVERY post here.
I DID go complain to your reviews@ address as well as billing@ and support@, that was on 20 March and STILL no resolution. I can't even easily move my files due to all the timeouts. Utterly and totally disgraceful.
I have been a loyal customer for over 15 years, currently with 20 sites hosted.
I have put up with their fall in service since moving seemingly everything offshore as I still could manage the features I wanted to manage.
They have completely lost the plot. I have been working for 2 weeks now trying to get them to do anything. I can understand that sometimes faults occur, but to not have them fixed after weeks on end, and these aren't small faults! They are massive faults affecting my sites, many are broken and if I had access to their server config I could fix this myself.
I have now signed up with a new host, problem is, I can't backup sites to transfer them and even if I try a file by file download, I get time outs. I'm effectively stuffed. I am now waiting for the 5th day in a row to see if anyone will come on chat. They aren't answering tickets and they actually deleted 7 tickets!
My next move will have to be legal action I guess. Its insane!

Antwort von Digital Pacific
just overall poor service. They break your site with modsecurity settings and you can't contact them because they don't answer and their security blocks you from actually submitting a ticket.

Antwort von Digital Pacific
The recent cPanel migration has bee a total failure. I have had my customers emails failing, websites not working, databases stop working and I still have a site that has now been down for over a week. Every day I call them the promise to fix the issue and to get back to me once it has been fixed. Its still not working a week later and no replies to my emails nor does anyone call me back. I call them every day and on average I have been on hold for 2 or 3 hours before they answer my call.
TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE !!

Antwort von Digital Pacific
Such poor customer service! I was with Digital Pacific for 10 years and never had a problem, then suddenly my website went down after an update (which I was told would not affect my site) and I was completely unable to reach them for days on end. I tried calling, emailing, and getting a support ticket and four days later I still haven't heard a thing. In desperation I've had to change providers. I just can't believe they have gone completely MIA with no regard for their loyal customers! Definitely do not recommend!

Antwort von Digital Pacific
Very disappointing and costly experience.
What was meant to be a 4-hour maintenance window turned into 7+ days of website downtime and ongoing issues. Even now, the site is not functioning correctly, with missing pages and display errors.
Support has been extremely difficult to deal with — slow responses, no accountability, and no follow-through on promised call backs.
To make matters worse, I’ve repeatedly been told the website is “fine” when it clearly isn’t.
This has cost my business thousands in lost revenue, and I’m still chasing both a proper fix and compensation.
Would not recommend based on this experience.

Antwort von Digital Pacific
Used to be good when it was Australia based, but now all help desk outsourced overseas - long wait times (1hr+) for support.

Antwort von Digital Pacific
Their support is appalling and the setup of my VPS service still is not working. They say whilst on the phone on hold to support that for quick service, use their support chat, it is even slower in reality.
Avoid these guys

Antwort von Digital Pacific
62+ Hours since the server upgrade that will have "minimal impact" on our services was "completed". No emails, no websites, minimal support since. There are about 2 people at Digital Pacific that know what they're doing and they don't have the access they need to fix all the problems.
I have several unanswered support tickets, I've lost about 24 hours in total so far working on this, much of that sitting on hold trying to get through to tech support.
Avoid their "Quick chat" at all costs. I had a chat opened yesterday for 3 hours. A very detailed description sitting in that chat. I stepped away from my screen for 10min and during that time someone from Digital Pacific entered the chat, asked if I was there, gave me 60 seconds to respond and closed the chat... all they had to do way read my previous message and start working through the issue.
Digital Pacific is owned by Newfold Digital now, the CEO Sharon Rowlands who is steering this ship, clearly is trying to destroy the brand for some reason. Whatever costs they are trying to save, they will lose ten-fold in customers who leave.
I would avoid Digital Pacific and any company owned by Newfold at all costs.
