web hosting
We can recommend two options for your hosting needs: The first is typical Website Hosting and the second is a Website Network Package, developed, hosted and promoted by us.
Website Hosting: There are many hosting companies, including some that offer free hosting services. However, there is always a catch and you generally get what you pay for. With the free services you will most likely have to tolerate their pop up advertising, spam-like letters and restricted bandwidth. Along with this, many seem to mysteriously disappear, along with your Website!
So, you need to look for a reliable, well established company as your host. Our personal recommendation, based on experience, is Net24 Ltd, who currently host our web server and also have small, affordable business packages to suit most people's budgets.
The disadvantage is that you need to have a good understanding of Website maintenance and the Internet, as you are normally left to promote the Website yourself.
Website Network Package: This is suitable for private and commercial clients who wish to be incorporated into our high traffic Network. New Zealand's Information Network only hosts sites that we design and develop ourselves. Once your Website has been constructed and incorporated into the Network, it is automatically hosted on our web server so that the information is always available to users wishing to view your information.
Speed and Reliability! Our high speed custom-built web server, designed for a 24/7 web serving environment is located in a secure, monitored facility in Christchurch, New Zealand. The server is a Pentium 3 1GHz with mirrored hard drives and a Gigabyte of RAM (and a button that makes it go 'beep'). It is located at Net24 Ltd where it is in a very stable environment with multi redundant international bandwidth through both Telecom and ClearNet, so if one goes down the other is still available as back up.
