Features

Performance, control, and flexibility

Whatever size Windows VPS you choose, and whatever you run on it, you'll be on our High Performance platform. Incredible speed, with great support and services from our expert team.

Windows Server

Whatever Windows technology you're using, like .NET, C# and SQL Server, VPS hosting gives you the power and flexibility you need.

Kentico hosting

Kentico Xperience wraps content management, marketing, and commerce into one digital platform. Deliver its best on fast, secure hosting.

Umbraco hosting

Umbraco lets you build websites and apps exactly the way you want. Pair it with VPS hosting to tightly control your system configuration.

Windows Server OS

Windows Server 2022, 2016, 2012, and 2008 are ready to go when you spin up a new VPS, or you can ask for something more specialised.

First class support

Our in-house support team is always on the job. Engineers are available 24/7 and our average response time is measured in minutes not hours.

High Performance hardware

Our High Performance platform offers new superfast hardware, including NVMe storage, and a modern virtualisation layer. Almost 5× faster than standard VPS.

Uncontested performance

Your resources are yours - every SiteHost VPS has its full resources allocated to it at all times. We don't oversell, so what you pay for is what you get.

Administrator access

Every unmanaged VPS comes with full Administrator access, so you can install any packages you need and set them up just how you like.

24/7/365 Server Management

Add optional Server Management and we'll monitor your servers and respond to issues around the clock, so you can sleep well at night (or even take a holiday).

Local servers and NZ service

Host close to local customers, meet data sovereignty standards, rely on our NZ-based support team, and expand to our Sydney location if you need.

SQL Server Web Edition

At $45/month, SQL Server Web Edition is a low-cost option that provides more scalability and features than Express Edition. Suits small or large projects.

Automatic backups

Backups are an essential part of any disaster recovery plan. We'll take a daily backup of your files, and store them securely offsite for 7 days. Only 50c/GB.

High Performance Virtual Server plans & pricing

Every Windows Virtual Server is on our High Performance platform, where is takes around a minute to provision a new server. If you need a Linux Virtual Server we do those too.

Join these happy SiteHost customers

Our VPS customers say great about our products, services and support. Here's a quick taste of their feedback.

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. ★★★★★

Umbraco is a software engineers’ CMS. We'll make the page look like you want, and we'll build the CMS features to generate the data to make that design work. 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. 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.

Being in the web industry for over 16 years now - SiteHost is the best provider we have found in New Zealand. Very reliable service uptime, quality servers, reasonably priced - but mainly they offer proper customer service and care about their customers and will help make things work. Definitely the only provider we would use or recommend. ★★★★★

Frequently Asked Questions

A VPS is powerful and configurable, which makes it a good fit for teams with an experienced sysadmin on board. It's also a good option when you require root or administrator access. We have a number of plans to cover almost every size project.
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).
We highly recommend opting for Server Management if your server will be hosting critical applications or websites where uptime is important. Problems arise, downtime happens. You should consider who would respond at 3am if there's an urgent problem, especially if you don't have your own dedicated system engineers.
Yes. If you're not happy with your hosting simply cancel it within 7 days and you won't be charged. Note that you will need to provide valid credit card details when you open your account.
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.

Why Virtual Servers (VPS)?

Virtual Private Servers offer a great entry point into Windows hosting. They allow you to have complete control over the configurability of your server while being lower cost. Kentico and Umbraco offer a large amount of flexibility for developers. It is important to make sure your hosting can handle whatever direction you want to go.

When you host on a Windows Virtual Server from SiteHost know your website will have full resources allocated to it at all times and you can scale up resources easily to handle whatever you throw at it. Have the freedom of root access or let our expert engineers take the hassle off your hand with our Managed Services.
