AI Platform

Secure, cost-effective AI models hosted in NZ

Safely offload AI tasks to a platform that offers speed, a choice of open-weight models, and low prices.
AI Platform

Open-weight models running at commercial speeds

AI models require capable, high-performing hardware. The outlay for a suitable setup is very expensive for individuals and small businesses. SiteHost’s AI Platform bridges that gap. Access powerful open-weight models with full context windows, without the compromise of heavy quantizing. All at a competitive price.

No data retention

Big providers often have convoluted and ambiguous data retention and training policies. None of that here; your request data is never stored.

Eco-friendly

We have 384 solar panels covering our roofs, and we use every drop of power they create. On sunny days we're almost entirely solar-powered.

Fair pricing

Run powerful AI models without shelling out on an expensive GPU or paying monthly subscriptions. Our usage-based pricing keeps costs efficient.

.
Zero Data Retention

Complete data privacy

Every model we host is served on our own hardware, from our own NZ-based data centre. Requests never go off-site.

High-Performing Models

Cost-efficiency, without compromises

Access high-performing models running on commercial-grade hardware through our AI Platform. Privacy, performance and control at a fair price.

.

Safe & contained

None of your data is ever stored. We use vLLM to serve models with telemetry disabled, keeping your data safe and secure.

Hosting experience

We've run business infrastructure since 2004, and we still love new tech. We've even built and host our own AI-powered tools.

Cost-effective

Our token-based pricing can be a lot more cost-effective than ongoing GPU hosting fees. There's no expensive upfront hardware costs or subscription fees.

Top-grade hardware and facilities

Trust our GPU Hosting experience. Slick infrastructure runs in our data centre under the control of our professional team.

Keeping it simple

Use one fully OpenAI compatible API for all our available models. Just plug-in your API key and you’re ready to go.

Speed things up

If you’re relying on AI models to automate day-to-day tasks, speed matters. Hosting locally means less latency than anything hosted offshore.

Workloads

Intelligent automation

Use powerful AI tools to offload automation tasks. Have big blocks of hard-to-understand data that need summarising or restructuring? Got big databases and documentation piling up that could benefit from context-driven semantic searching? We’re already using the AI Platform in-house to handle a lot of our transcription workload. Take the workload off your team’s hands too.

How good is it when SiteHost is on your side?

Let our customers tell you.

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.

There is a considerable difference between dealing with overseas companies and New Zealand ones. It's our story, too: if any Panel Quote customer has a problem, they can talk to me directly. Sometimes that’s the only way to get things sorted. SiteHost is practising the same thing. It's real, and hopefully it stays that way forever. In terms of hosting, large overseas corporations are pedalling a product that maybe suits a decent percentage of people. But we needed an organisation that answered our questions properly, honestly and truthfully.
