Go for a decent hosting solution overseas - dedicated server if you need it.

We should all buy our PC parts overseas as well!
Suprised to see an enterprising young Kiwi businessman advocating the use of offshore services against Kiwimade

314932 2005-01-17 20:40:00 yep thats what you should see im on orcon ubs with static ip so you are allowed to run servers it will only be on a few hours a day anyway I just do a lot of moddeling for racer (racer.nl) and I need away of hosting my files without paying a truckload of cash Im only a student after all, the upload speed is only 16kbps anyway so it is slow but I will distrubite the files via bit torrent so once people are downloading it should be fine...anyway all just one big experiment Brad H (738)

314934 2005-01-19 05:09:00 $1 per week for 10MB space and 1GB bandwidth per month or, more likely, $14.95 per month for 100MB space and 4GB bandwidth per month at kiwiwebhost.co.nz NZ hosted with NZ based servers and plenty of tools to meet your friends needs.

From what I can see, kiwiwebhost.co.nz is hosted on a US server. Maybe they have other servers that are NZ based?

Hmmmmm......when I started using them to host my sites a couple of years ago, I asked about the location of the servers & was told they were in Hamilton.
There was a reference to this on their website but I can't find it now.
Maybe it's been removed?
The company has recently moved head office to Wtgn, maybe they moved the servers at the same time

Their servers are located 3 floors below their new offices in Wellington
Although they say they say some older accounts are still hosted in the US
Apparently all 7 of mine are run from Wgtn (suppose it doesn't make much difference really)

314937 2005-01-20 09:14:00 Open a command prompt and type

tracert domain_name

This will tell you where the server is located. Sounds about right, having older accounts left on servers in the US.
