I have one I haven't used yet (wanted to book the name), but have it parked there in what seems a satisfactory system.
I got it with Xtra, but realised later they were charging me more for the same thing.
So that's a trap to avoid.

503379 2006-11-30 21:28:00 Registerfly are doing specials all the time. Like right now untill tonight .info domains are 75centsUS. Most NZ Domain Registerers charge a little too much for a domain imo. I have seen prices like $27 when you can get them overseas for $5-11 trinsic (6945)

What do you want? a .nz domain name or a .com / .net etc..?

If you want a .nz domain name check out: http://www.simplydomains.co.nz/

If you want a .com / .net etc… then check out: http://www.godaddy.com

Hope this helps & best of luck with your new website :)

Yes, you will need a web host; there are many web hosts out there

Here are a couple of sites that lists web hosts:

http://www.hostinghub.co.nz/

http://www.weblist.co.nz/

www.netguide.co.nz

On choosing a web host it really depends on your budget & where you want the server eg: in NZ / Aust / USA & what you need e.g.: php / ASP / CGI / MYSQL etc…

I Hope this helps :)

If you have any other questions let me know

503383 2006-11-30 22:55:00 There is a free webhost in NZ called www.hostingdirect.co.nz
You can try out with them and see if your website continues to grow then upgrade to a better host.

If you think you may need support I won’t go with them as I e-mail them about a month or so ago with a question & I got a reply about a week latter!

503385 2006-12-01 06:42:00 I've got 3 sites with these guys:
kiwiwebhost.co.nz

They have a $1 a week deal that's pretty good.
You get website + ftp site + 5 emails

And they respond to emails within hours.
