Website Hosting

The Kiwi Web Hosting Company™ provides professional web hosting solutions for New Zealanders (and the rest of the world!). Our account plans are designed to cater for a wide range of hosting needs - everything from a personal or small business website through to large-scale dynamic database-driven e-Commerce sites.

Why a web hosting account?

A website is your own piece of electronic real-estate. You can do virtually anything you like with it. Whether it's just a base for your email or for sharing ideas, documents, pictures, or for advertising and selling your products online, a website serves as an important basis for communication for individuals, businesses and organisations alike. Our role as web hosts is to not only make building and controlling your website as simple as possible, but also to ensure that your website and email are secure and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Which web hosting account?

We provide three different web hosting accounts. The key differences between the accounts are shown in the table below. For a basic website with about a dozen pages and less than a 1000 visitors per month, the $1-A-Week account is a good place to start. As your requirements grow, you can easily upgrade to one of the larger plans1.

Reliability and security are a high priority by using a combination of branded high-specification server hardware with the best software server software available.

Apart from the usual web hosting staples like 24/7 email and FTP access, all our hosting packages also include the following features:

cPanel is a powerful control panel that integrates many features to allow you to easily manage and configure your email and website. Key features include: easy set up of email accounts, forwarding, autoresponders, password-protected directories, cronjobs, traffic and disk space monitoring, database creation and much more.

Webalizer generates a wide range of statistics from traffic generated by your website. Raw access logs are also available for download for custom stats generation.

Webmail is provided in two different flavours: Horde and Squirrel Mail. Each of these webmail programs can be used to easily access your email from any PC anywhere around the world.

Spamassassin provides powerful and customisable spam filtering on the server side. As well as whitelists and blacklists, you can choose whether to just mark likely spam messages or filter them out entirely.

Virus filtering is performed by default on all mail that passes through the server using ClamAV. ClamAV detects more than 34,000 email virus signatures and is updated regularly.

Mailman is a list management program. It allows users to subscribe and unsubscribe from mailing lists and automates the sending of emails to list members. A comprehensive administrator interface allows for easy management of the list.

MySQL is a popular database system that easily interfaces with PHP, Perl and Python for creating dynamic websites.

PHPMyAdmin is a useful online interface for managing MySQL databases.

phpBB is an open-source forum/bulletin board program. phpBB can be easily installed from cPanel allowing you to set up your own customisable discussion forum in matter of minutes. Note: phpBB requires about 8 MB of free space for installation.

PHP 5.2.9, Perl 5.8.8, Python 2.4.3 are available on our servers. PHP, Perl and Python are popular scripting languages, that are commonly used for creating dynamic and interactive websites. Like all software running on the server, these programs are kept up-to-date as stable releases become available. We are relatively flexible when it comes to installing specific modules where required. SSI and CGI are also supported.

OSCommerce is a sophisticated and highly customisable shopping cart and content management system. OSCommerce has support for various electronic payment gateways, including DPS, WorldPay and PayPal. A demo is available on the OSCommerce website. Note: OSCommerce requires about 20 MB of free space for installation.

Wordpress is a highly customisable publishing platform typically used for creating "blogs". Note: Wordpress requires about 10 MB of free space for installation.

Joomla! is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Note: Joomla! requires about 28 MB of free space for installation.

SSL certificates are available to all accounts to allow sensitive information such as credit card details to be transmitted securely across the internet. If you don't wish to purchase your own certificate, a shared SSL certificate is also available.

Direct Payment Solutions (DPS) is a New Zealand-based company that provides a gateway for online credit card processing. Our servers support all of DPS' services to make real-time credit card processing simple. Note: a merchant credit card account is required with your bank to use DPS' online payment gateway.

1 Accounts can be upgraded at any time. The value of the remaining months of your existing plan will be subtracted from that of the new plan. There are no upgrade fees.

2 Parked domains are domains that point to the top-level directory of your account. Add-On domains are domains that point to a subdirectory within your account. Add-on domains can therefore be used to host multiple websites on the same account. There are some limitations to using add-on domains - please see our FAQ for details.
