| 1308530 | 2012-10-25 09:23:00 | We have been around for quite a while (our original www.webtastix.co.nz site was setup many years ago) just haven’t done much advertising, and have tried to make sure the websites as functional as possible and easy to find everything as we don’t want to make it difficult... as we grow the website will be somewhere we spend some money, up until now we have been putting it all into the servers to make sure they are reliable :) Cheers for the explanation. If I don't find something favourable overseas I will most probably be in touch again. Thanks everyone else for your input too. |

| 1308532 | 2012-10-25 09:44:00 | One more thing re Webtastix, what does semi-managed mean? Usually it's pretty black and white with managed/unmanaged. SiteHost actually looks decent too but Webtastix still gives a lot more international bw for the same price. |

Basically if needed we will help out where we can, with issues with software etc, but it is a best effort type thing, its not something we will keep an eye on and make sure everythings up to date and running nicely etc, and we will also setup remote monitoring on requested ports / services if requested free of charge |

| 1308534 | 2012-10-25 23:32:00 | Cool, what do you use to monitor the services? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1308535 | 2012-10-25 23:44:00 | Cool, what do you use to monitor the services? We currently use nagios, so remotley we can monitor open ports or if the nrpe agent is installed we can monitor individual services, and default is to send the alerts to the user by email, though sms is avaliable for a bit extra :) |

| 1308536 | 2012-10-25 23:54:00 | Ah nice, jolly good stuff NagiOS is, though it can be a ******* to get running. Good on ya :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

| 1308538 | 2012-10-26 06:06:00 | I emailed URPad regarding getting an account from NZ and below is their response. Sorry askewdread as the features offered by Webtastix are awesome but I just can't justify paying 5x more for a VPS I won't be making any money from :) URPad.net Hello, We have absolutely no problems with this, and already have about 150 other customers based out of New Zealand. Thanks, -- Jacob Palermo System Administrator |

| 1308539 | 2012-10-26 09:27:00 | TBH if I was serious about hosting proper dedicated and valuable stuff on a server I'd host it in NZ, for bypassing retarded restrictions imposed upon us and host very casual student web sites for NCEA URPad does the job and it's Cheap. I would actually pay more for a NZ host but all our connections are proxied through aussie so the round trip latency is the same as the states. Until we get fibre (which probably won't be in my lifetime at school) it's not really worth hosting in NZ as the services quality will only be as good as what we can get in the US for less. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
