SiteHost and the local sector

Government web hosting from experienced locals

Local, compliant hosting for Aotearoa's public sector. Whatever systems you're running, at whatever scale, you can count on our local infrastructure, expert support, and Government experience.

We have used a number of providers over the years and we weren’t always satisfied with the levels of service and we had to do a lot of troubleshooting ourselves. So we looked around and SiteHost really seemed the best in terms of cost-effectiveness and scalability. So we decided to give it a go. And we haven’t been disappointed. You guys are by far the best we’ve worked with. When you say something, you do it. And you always deliver to very high standards.

Why SiteHost?

We're an experience, reliable, and trusted hosting partner.

Cloud Containers + Premium Management

Robust and flexible Silverstripe hosting

Cloud Containers are our most popular hosting for Silverstripe developers. And for websites that need the highest level of care, attention and uptime, Premium Management adds an incredibly valuable array of monitoring and services.

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.

Developers love SiteHost

We regularly ask our customers how we're doing. Here's a selection of things we've heard lately.

In terms of the rapport and experiences that we've had with SiteHost over the last three, four years has been exceptional in terms of a hosting provider. Being local it's super easy to get on the phone and just ask what's going on - or sometimes you call us first, especially from the technical side.

To me as a business owner, we’ve built our company on people as much as technology. SiteHost people turn up and meet us, so we know your faces and names. There are people behind the company, and it feels like it's a relationship and a partnership.
