476441 2006-08-06 07:07:00 I am looking for a web hosting company in Auckland which is able to provide good service and fast speed similar to iserve.co.nz.
I am going to start a community website next month. I guess it would be ok to buy disk space and bank limits at the first 6 months. Then I will buy my own server. (not good idea?)
Something like "trademe in 1999", :D
A large traffic volume is expected and the disk space is also important because of the photo storage.
:confused: Which plan from which company is good to me? cheers.

Yes, I just check the webdrive.co.nz and their Lite plan is quite good.
But I am not sure about the connection speed and their support.
(I contacted with openhost.co.nz last week and their response was slow.)
Anyone has been with them? or heard about ? Very appreciated.

Web Drive connection speed is quite good & there support is great & very helpful!

ImageF1 http://www.imagef1.net.nz/ is hosted by web drive

PS: shanelinnz when you talk about there connection speed, what do you mean by that? Do you mean how fast a page loads up from there server?

476446 2006-08-07 07:25:00 I recommend www.webbase.co.nz, they can provide hosting and dedicated servers. They also sponsor faqf1's domain name.

Webdrive are also good, they use the same datacentre in Auckland as Webbase.

Connectivity shouldn't be an issue with either provider.

The site I run with Webbase has just over 1,000 members and goes great.

476450 2006-08-09 06:06:00 Thank you guys. But webbase.co.nz is a Christchurch company. All their servers are located in Auckland? Do you mean it really doesn't matter for the physical location of a hosting company because they should have servers in each large cities? Probabaly iserve.co.nz also have server in Auckland? shanelinnz (10917)
