Office 365 for Australian business

Microsoft 365 Business puts Outlook, Teams, OneDrive and the Office apps on your domain, with Australian hosting, DNS and support in the same account as your website.

Microsoft 365 apps in one tenant

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and OneDrive share one Microsoft 365 login. Staff edit files, send Exchange email and join Teams meetings from the same tenant instead of mixing personal Outlook and consumer OneDrive accounts.

Outlook, Teams and OneDrive

Teams, SharePoint and co-authoring

SharePoint team sites, Microsoft Teams and real-time co-authoring in Word and Excel let Australian staff edit the same files from the office or remote sites. DNS, licensing and mailbox issues stay with HSJ Host in Australia, alongside your domain and website.

Australian Microsoft 365 support

Microsoft 365 email and device security

Business Basic and Standard include Exchange anti-malware and spam filtering. Business Premium adds Microsoft Defender, Intune endpoint management and Purview data-loss prevention so laptops, mail and customer files stay under control without buying a separate security stack.

Why migrate from cPanel email to Office 365

cPanel email is included with hosting and is fine until the team outgrows webmail. Office 365 is Microsoft 365 Business: Exchange email on your domain, Outlook on every device, Teams and the Office apps, billed in Australia. The website can stay on shared cPanel hosting. You buy licences here. If the inboxes already exist, we can migrate them.

Outlook on the phone, not only in webmail

cPanel email lives in a browser. That is awkward on a job, and worse when the inbox is stuck on one laptop while someone is on leave. Microsoft 365 Business gives you Exchange email as you@yourdomain, including .com.au and .com, plus Outlook on Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android and in the browser. Calendar and contacts travel with the mailbox.

Business Basic is enough if you mainly need email, Teams and web apps, from $15.35 per user per month GST inclusive. No lock-in. We set the DNS records if the domain is with HSJ Host. Already using cPanel inboxes? Keep the website where it is and move mail only.

View plans

One login for email, files and meetings

cPanel email is mail only. Files end up in someone’s personal Drive. Meetings live on whichever Zoom account was handy. Office 365 is one Microsoft login for Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, which is why offices buy it even when the website is staying on cPanel.

Need desktop Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook installed on PCs and Macs? That is Business Standard at $29.65 per user per month GST inclusive, or Business Premium at $49.45 if you also want Defender, Intune and extra device control. Basic is the wrong plan if staff live in desktop Office all day.

Quotes and invoices from a tired cPanel mailbox still disappear into junk. Office 365 includes Exchange spam and malware filtering most small cPanel setups never match. Business Premium adds Microsoft Defender and data-loss protection if you handle customer files on laptops. You are billed in AUD, GST inclusive, with Australian support for Outlook, Teams and DNS.

Order the licences on this page. If you already have cPanel, Gmail or Google Workspace inboxes, a basic cPanel cutover is $120 per inbox GST inclusive. Other sources get a quote. Licences and the mailbox move are separate.

Office 365 and Microsoft 365 FAQs

How much Office 365 costs in Australia, whether it is the same as Microsoft 365, Business Basic vs Standard vs Premium, desktop apps, .com.au email, and when to leave cPanel mail.

How much is Office 365 in Australia?

Office 365 is now Microsoft 365. With HSJ Host, Microsoft 365 Business Basic is $15.35 per user per month GST inclusive, Business Standard is $29.65, and Business Premium is $49.45. Prices are in AUD, billed monthly, with no lock-in contract, for 1 to 300 users. These are business plans, not Microsoft 365 Personal or Family.

Is Office 365 the same as Microsoft 365?

Yes. Microsoft renamed Office 365 to Microsoft 365. The business licences are Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Business Standard and Business Premium. You still get Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams and Exchange email. People searching Office 365 Australia are looking for the same Microsoft 365 Business plans sold on this page.

What is the difference between Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Standard and Premium?

Microsoft 365 Business Basic includes web and mobile Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, plus Exchange email on your domain, Teams, SharePoint and 1 TB of OneDrive. Business Standard adds desktop Microsoft 365 apps, webinars and Microsoft Bookings. Business Premium includes everything in Standard plus Defender, Intune device management, Windows 11 Pro upgrade and data-loss protection. Choose Basic for mail and Teams, Standard for desktop Office, and Premium when email and devices need extra security.

Does Microsoft 365 Business Basic include desktop Word and Excel?

No. Business Basic includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook in the browser and on mobile only. Desktop installs of the Microsoft 365 apps are in Business Standard and Business Premium, with installs on up to 5 PCs or Macs, 5 tablets and 5 phones per user.

Can I use a .com.au or .com domain for Microsoft 365 email?

Yes. Microsoft 365 uses Exchange for you@yourdomain addresses, including .com.au and .com, with anti-malware and spam filtering. If the domain is already with HSJ Host we set the DNS records. If it is registered elsewhere we give you the exact MX, SPF, DKIM and CNAME records to add.

Should I keep cPanel email or buy Office 365?

Keep cPanel email if one or two people only need webmail with hosting. Buy Office 365 when the team needs Outlook on phones, shared calendars, Teams, or desktop Word and Excel. The website can stay on shared cPanel hosting. HSJ Host sells Microsoft 365 Business licences and can migrate cPanel inboxes for $120 each GST inclusive.

Ready for Office 365 with a local team?
