website hosting

quick guide to hosting...

If you have a website you need to have "hosting". Basically this is the storage of your website on a nice fast server in a secure room somewhere with a fast internet connection (Generally they will have redundant power supplies, internet connections and air conditioning) "serving" out your website pages, images and performing any necessary calculations and processes for your visitors around the world.

If you are not ready for a website yet but want to register a domain name to secure it for adding a website later on as well as the added benefits of:

Unlimited email addresses (info@123.co.nz, john@123.co.nz etc etc)
Independence from your ISP (Internet Service Provider) - so if you change provider in the future your email address doesn't! Meaning you don't have to tell everyone your new email every few months, get new business cards, update your website...
Professional image for your business or convenience for your family - everyone can have their name as an email address (e.g. name@business.co.nz or firstname@lastname.co.nz)
Secures it so no-one else can use it!

Then ‘machhost.e-park' is for you.

If you have a CMS or don't need to regularly update your website then ‘machhost.basic' is probably perfectly fine - if you do need changes you just "pay-as-you-go".

If you are too busy to update your website all the time, aren't "web savvy" or are just starting out in business and don't have the man-power then one of the other options, ‘machhost.60' or ‘machhost.120' is probably ideal.

Give us a call if you have any questions - We can help choose the best plan for you. As well as helping you make the change if you currently use another host.

* All plans require that you register a domain name at $50 +GST for 1 year.
Editing means changes to page content for existing pages only - not the adding / removing of pages / layout graphics etc.
