Common questions you might have

What happened with Bluefish Hosting?

On 1 March 2024, Nexigen Digital announced the acquisition of Bluefish Hosting, a retail Australian provider of web hosting, and domain names.

The acquisition will see all customers from Bluefish Hosting transferred to Nexigen Digital’s retail arm, VentraIP, by the end of the month.

What will happen from here?

For the time being, everything will remain the same, and you can continue to log into your Bluefish Hosting account to manage your services. Over the next few weeks, the VentraIP team will move your services as they currently stand to be managed through VentraIP’s own management system, VIPcontrol.

How will my Bluefish Hosting account be billed from now on?

For the time being everything will remain the same, and you will be billed as usual via your Bluefish Hosting account.

All Bluefish Hosting customers will receive further correspondence from our team once services have been moved into their VIPcontrol account, at which point billing will be handled within VIPcontrol.

What is happening to my Bluefish Hosting domain names?

Until further notice, all Bluefish Hosting domain names will continue to be managed within your Bluefish Hosting account

All domain names will soon be automatically and seamlessly moved over into your VIPcontrol account. As most of Bluefish Hosting’s domain names are registered via our sister company Synergy Wholesale, we’re able to seamlessly move all domain names without the need to change domain registrar.

It’s important to note that these changes will not impact any services you have tied to your domain name (such as email or web hosting services) and these will continue to function as normal.

If your domain does not appear in VIPcontrol and you’d like our team to assist you with a domain transfer, please do not hesitate to call us on

13 24 85 or submit an eTicket via VIPcontrol with the request.

View our domain names FAQ section for more information.

How do I manage my Bluefish Hosting hosting service?

Until further notice, all Bluefish Hosting hosting services will continue to be managed within your Bluefish Hosting account

All active Bluefish Hosting customers will soon have a VIPcontrol account created for them based on the details stored within the Bluefish Hosting billing portal.

You will receive further information at a later date from the VentraIP team regarding the migration from Bluefish Hosting to our own hardware. Once your migration is complete, all hosting services will be managed within your own VIPcontrol account.

If we need to conduct a physical hosting migration of services before being moved into VIPcontrol, you will be notified by email with the details you need.

You can find some further information on VIPcontrol in our FAQ articles here.

How do I get support for my Bluefish Hosting services?

All Bluefish Hosting customers are encouraged to continue using the Bluefish Hosting support system for tickets, and the VentraIP phone number for 24/7 phone support. 

You will be able to access LiveChat support by visiting the VentraIP website. Once customers’ accounts are moved to VentraIP, they will receive further information to advise them to use VIPcontrol for eTicket support

Or call us any time on 13 24 85.
