167650 2003-08-14 03:37:00 Does anyone know where, if anywhere, in NZ I can find a place to host a website that generates approx 20gigs of data transfer a month at a resonable cost? I currently have a dedicated server in the USA that costs me about NZ$250.00/month, but I wish to server my sites up from a NZ server.

Cheers.

I would think you would have to email em about your requierments and see what sort of deal they can put togther,But id say it would be hundreds cheaper then what you have now.

Whats your site btw?

167653 2003-08-14 04:07:00 Ok, firstly I apologise for my first posts lack of detailed info. Let me clarify my situation. I need more of a 'telehousing' solution where I can have full root access to a server which is solely set up for my use. In the States this is generally called a "dedicated server". I'm not sure of the terminology in NZ. Web hosting firms don't want to know me because of the high data transfer, and more importantly the load this site places on a server's CPU (loads of cgi generated pages etc).
What I need is a server on a fast, reliable connection, which I will administer, allowing 20-30 gigs of data transfer a month.

Hope this explains what I require a little better.

I think it is called telehousing and colocation here in NZ

Have a look at maxnet & quicksilver & see if it is what you are after
www.maxnet.net.nz

www.quicksilver.co.nz

I will do a search & see what I can find & you might want to do is have a look at a few NZ web hosting company’s & NZ ISP & see what they offer in the way of telehousing and collocation.

167655 2003-08-14 04:53:00 Below is a few more host

www.xtra.co.nz ( there server is in NZ)

www.webdrive.biz (there server is in NZ)

www.iconz.co.nz (not too sure if there server is in NZ)

http://aotea.net/ (not too sure if there server is in NZ)

If you find a host you like & you are not too sure if their server is in NZ, just e-mail them, most web hosting company’s do mind you asking question.

If you would like a list of web host you could try( I have a few) e-mail me: stuartw77 at hotmail dot com & I will send you the list :)

167657 2003-08-14 06:16:00 Someone I know "leases" servers from (I think) Maxnet, that are based in Auckland. Basically he can use as much or as little as he wants (including sub-hosting and what-not) and all he pays is the server (and connections) lease. It's not cheap, but would probably come into the same kind of price range as you're paying now, only it's definitely in NZ.

167658 2003-08-14 12:30:00 I think Maxnet would be the pick of the places for what you're after from what I know about the places in NZ. Make sure you know your stuff though. -=JM=- (16)
167659 2003-08-15 01:04:00 Probably worth your while giving Orcon a call Greg S (201)
