Web Hosting for New Zealand Businesses
When it comes to hosting your website, your got unlimited options to choose from. But the big question most New Zealand website owners ask is - "Should I host my website overseas, or should I host it in New Zealand?" The main advantage of hosting overseas is cost. Many overseas or US based hosting companies will charge less than their New Zealand counterparts.
The main advantage of hosting in New Zealand is the support. You can pick up the phone and talk to a real live Kiwi rather than sending an email into the deep dark depths of the interweb and hope for a response. Plus, as you'll see in the table below, the monthly website hosting fees are not that much more expensive than overseas offerings. You'll probably find that once you take into account the conversion rate from US dollars (and the value of your time) that hosting your website in New Zealand is the superior option.
In short, the benefits of a hosting your site in New Zealand are:
- Faster download speeds for your website users
- Local web hosting customer support (this can be very difficult with international web hosting companies)
- Security - New Zealand is a lower risk than other countries for network security breaches
We recommend OpenHost for hosting your website in New Zealand. We've recommended our clients use them due to their fast response times and uptime reliability when it comes to keeping your website live.
