Web hosting provides the environment in which your website files, application and database run. A small brochure site and a database-backed business application can need different resources and maintenance arrangements. NZHost starts with the software you use and the work you need the site to do, then assesses a suitable hosting scope.
Who this is for
Businesses with an existing website, a new site ready to launch, or a developer who needs an appropriate hosting environment.
Define the scope before work begins.
Review your application's PHP, database and runtime requirements
Discuss resources and room for future growth
Agree on backup, access and maintenance responsibilities
Plan the transition from your existing host
Your proposal identifies resources, responsibilities, locations, backup arrangements, pricing and applicable support terms. These considerations are not fixed package inclusions.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Questions about web hosting
What does my website need to run?
Identify the application, required PHP or other runtime version, database, scheduled tasks and storage. Compatibility matters more than a long feature list. We can review those requirements before a proposal is agreed.
Who looks after the website itself?
Hosting administration and application maintenance are separate responsibilities. Clarify who updates the site, handles changes and checks it after updates. If you want WordPress care or a broader operational scope, explore those options separately.
What should I compare in a hosting proposal?
Look at resources, billing and tax, backup and recovery arrangements, support scope, access and actual hosting location. These details should be agreed for your service; a New Zealand business address does not establish where data is stored.
