Hosting Questions Answered

Common questions about moving to managed NZ hosting.

Why not just use a cheap hosting provider?

Cheap hosting (like GoDaddy, HostGator, or Bluehost) puts your site on shared servers with thousands of other sites, often overseas. You get slow NZ load times, no real support, and no WordPress optimisation. The $5–$15/month you save costs you in lost leads from a slow, insecure site. Pair fast hosting with a WordPress maintenance plan for complete peace of mind.

Do you host non-WordPress sites?

Our managed hosting is optimised for WordPress. For other technologies (static sites, custom apps), get in touch and we'll advise on the right hosting solution.

Can I migrate from my current host?

Yes. We handle full WordPress migrations — files, databases, and DNS updates. We run the new site in parallel before cutting over to ensure zero downtime.

What happens if my site goes down?

Our monitoring alerts us immediately. We investigate and resolve hosting issues as a priority — typically within 1–2 hours during business hours. For critical issues, we're on it as fast as possible.

Is the SSL certificate really free?

Yes. SSL certificates (Let's Encrypt) are included in all hosting plans at no extra cost. We manage renewal automatically so you never have to worry about an expired SSL.

Can I keep my existing email if I move hosting?

Yes. Website hosting and email hosting are separate. We migrate your website without touching your email setup. If you want business email hosting too, we can quote for that separately.
