50% Off High Performance Servers That Beat the Big Names

This is easiest if you talk with us, partly because our advice on which platform (and how much of it) to go with can save you a lot of time, and partly because we'll be able to double-check your eligibility for introductory pricing nice and early.

Create your new SiteHost account and spin up your new hosting. You'll see our regular prices in the checkout, but don't worry about that. We'll rebate your discounts as soon as we can.

Email 3 months' bills from your old provider to sales@sitehost.nz. We're not prying, just checking that you're making a real move. As soon as that's confirmed, we'll rebate your discount on any bills you've already paid, and lock in lower pricing for the rest of the 12 month period. Once that's done, we won't keep any info that we don't need to.

In short, the difference is speed. Our regular VPS platform delivers enough computing performance for most business needs, at a lower price. The platform is built on incredibly reliable, high-quality hardware and a battled hardened technology stack we've been running for well over a decade. High Performance Virtual Servers are built for intensive computing. High-spec hardware includes Ryzen 9 CPUs (which are so new that they have only been available in our Dedicated Servers for a few months), and the platform is managed via a newly-built virtualisation layer. It’s an entirely different platform built for a more demanding audience.

NVMe (non-volatile memory express) is a faster form of data storage. We offer NVMe as standard because we don't think anyone should be slowed down by their hard drive. Technically, NVMe is the transfer protocol for accessing data quickly from a solid-state drives (SSD).

24/7 Management is a highly recommended optional extra, especially if your server will be hosting critical applications or websites where uptime is important. Problems arise, downtime happens, and you always have something else to be doing rather than worrying about infrastructure. Who would respond at 3am if there's an urgent problem, especially if you don't have your own dedicated system engineers? With 24/7 Management, you know the answer.

We have an uptime guarantee of 99.9% across our Cloud Container, VPS and VDS platforms. We also offer comprehensive SLAs as part of our 24/7 Management. You can read more about our uptime guarantee and getting a full SLA in our knowledge base.
