MyHost: hosting and domains for the New Zealand market

MyHost is a web hosting and domain services provider based in New Zealand, serving businesses and agencies across the country. The company presents itself as a no-fuss option for businesses of any size, with shared hosting plans, virtual private servers (VPS), dedicated servers, colocation, and managed services. Its offering is complemented by domain registration and a website builder.

Shared hosting plans

The shared hosting catalogue is organised into three tiers: Small, Medium, and Large. All include unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited databases, unlimited FTP and email accounts, unlimited parked domains, free daily backups, and an automatic free SSL certificate. The Small plan allows you to host 2 websites; Medium, 4; and Large, 8. Support methods vary by plan: the first two offer email and a ticket system, while Large adds phone support. The company applies fair and acceptable use policies and notes that file limits are 20 times average usage.

Domains and website builder

MyHost lets you search for and register domains with extensions such as .nz, .au, and .com. The site shows reference prices for these domains, expressed in New Zealand dollars and excluding GST. It also offers a website builder that lets you create professional sites without any coding or design experience.

Services for advanced needs

For projects that require more resources than shared hosting, the company offers several alternatives. VPS servers are designed for startups, e-commerce sites, or applications that need a more powerful environment. Reseller hosting offers white-label plans so other businesses can offer hosting to their clients. Dedicated servers provide full control, power, and privacy, and are aimed at those who need specific configurations or to meet strict security requirements. Colocation lets you host your own hardware in MyHost's facilities, with modern architecture and security measures.

Track record and structure

Founded in 2000, MyHost has 26 years of experience in the sector. In 2009 it became part of SiteTech Group, the largest New Zealand-owned hosting provider, which also includes other brands such as SiteHost. The company states it has more than 9,000 customers and a highly skilled technical team. Its proposition focuses on reliability, with a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and transparent communication with customers.

Infrastructure and support

MyHost operates from New Zealand and offers 24/7 support. The company highlights its proactive approach to system maintenance, with constant server monitoring and updates to keep applications running. Support is provided via email, ticket system, and, on certain plans, phone. The company also publishes a blog with news and tips on domains and hosting.
