Sharing The Love

People saying nice things about us is always great to hear, but when they say it publicly it's even better.

Our experience with SiteHost has been outstanding. We have tried working with a number of different providers locally and offshore, and in the past we have had a number of support and scalability issues. That’s when we decided to look for a hosting company that focused on its customers, and eventually chose SiteHost as our new home. But as you know better than anyone, shifting hosting providers can be a major project, and I really have to say that the way you helped us shift, not only with the migration itself, but also with creating a migration plan, was such a huge help!

We primarily use Cloud Containers and Dockerisation. Being able to run different versions of PHP for example, or different container setups, is a really great advantage for us. There are other providers who have similar options, but they are based overseas and won’t be able to give us the required performance you provide. Honestly, I don’t think that anyone is doing the Containers like you guys do, especially not in New Zealand.

Have around 100 domains with SiteHost, and they are all very competitively priced, with very very good customer service always helping with any technical issues or queries we may have. Always easily reachable and local techs who really know their stuff. ★★★★★

Total reliability - this is tempting fate but in the time I've had servers with you I have never needed to contact you for support around the usual issues that seem to plague other providers: lost packets, downtime from broken routers etc. That peace of mind and improved productivity (time to focus on valuable work instead of resolving problems) has been great.

SiteHost are by far the most reliable and competent hosting company we have used. If I had to choose a company for our VPS needs again, this is the company I would choose. ★★★★★

Over the decade (and more) that I've been using SiteHost, they've not only provided consistently good service, they've also made it a primary focus, even while growing their business, technology base, and services. I've not only received fast and friendly service every time I've contacted them but they are one of the very few technology companies I deal with who provide knowledgeable staff who can actually help. ★★★★★

Over the years you have helped us out of a number of tricky situations where our infrastructure knowledge simply wasn’t advanced enough to solve it ourselves. We know we can rely on you and the way you help us has earned you a lot of loyalty. We speak a similar language in the way we provide services and that alignment is really important for us. We have complete trust in your abilities. When someone from your team says something, we believe it. That trust is critical. All trade is built on trust and you have that.

AlphaOne have been with SiteHost since day one. They managed our production servers except few that we manage it our own. Somehow, one of our servers broke down and I spent almost 4 hours troubleshooting it and I gave up because I have other things to fix. I asked SiteHost help. Not hours later, but minutes later they emailed and boom! Issue fixed! That quick! So glad it's fixed before the sunrise or else my team can't work until our Gitlab server is fixed. Thank you SiteHost. Game changer! ★★★★★

We like having full control of Cloud Containers and direct access to code. Ultimately we have more control over what we have on SiteHost compared to other hosting providers. You guys actually listen to feedback, too. We talked about how CWP had live monitoring of disc space and memory usage, and pretty soon afterwards SiteHost had that as well.

When we're hunting around for hosting one of our primary things is support. That's always been key. I've hosted with a lot of American companies, and their support is either next to none, non-existent, or handed off to a call centre that's really not well connected to the company at all. So from my point of view, it's peace of mind.

I had been hosting with another company for years until they got taken over by Dreamscape and everything turned to a disaster overnight. So I went on a search to find a truly owned NZ website, domain name and email hosting company. What a relief it was to find Site Host. Really good customer service, timely responses, easy to use, reliable and fast console. Couldn't be happier. ★★★★★

Since moving to SiteHost from another provider, I couldn't be happier with the service I've received. Right from the first enquiry to actually making my services go live, SiteHost understood what I wanted to achieve, gave me options I could decide on, kept me informed at every step and did what they said they would do in terms of implementation and cost. I would highly recommend SiteHost as a professional, competent, knowledgeable and reliable IT service provider. ★★★★★

We've got a couple of VDSs and a couple of VPSs with SiteHost. We used to have our own servers - physical hardware in a data centre - and we were spending a lot of time maintaining them and checking on them when they crashed. I'd say that SiteHost changed my business for the better. While I'm still technically on call to my customers. I'm not on call to the same degree - not for a hosting solution.

As Silverstripe experts, we have a range of small to large clients and are always looking to add value.

Their high-quality support has incredible response times and often go above and beyond.

I like to recommend SiteHost as a local provider who can support their service... getting high quality domestically located support is harder than it should be and SiteHost seem to be one of the last bastions for this that I'm confident about endorsing.

Mark F.

Our company has been a client of SiteHost for over 6 years now - DNS and domain registration, email, and server services. As a website development and managed website hosting provider, our success depends on our upstream providers. This very much includes the "in-house" technical knowledge of those providers as well as high-quality products and services. SiteHost is a key upstream provider that enables our business to provide a high-level service to our clients. Our expectations are therefore very high and SiteHost has always exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend SiteHost. ★★★★★

Our client wished to determine if someone could disrupt their service through a Denial of Service attack. We called our good friends at SiteHost who, at short notice, were able to provide us with servers that could generate an appropriate volume of traffic. I don’t know of many other companies that could have provided that. You have the networking knowledge and skills, and expertise in the team to facilitate it. You were interested in understanding what we were trying to achieve, too. There are only a few providers in New Zealand that I’d trust to do that.
