Website hosting and email only $15 per month

In its most simple form, "hosting" your website means it is sitting on a big computer (similar to a home computer, but much larger), with a very large capacity, connected 24x7 to the Internet so that anyone in the world can access it. Hosting your website is a bit like paying rent on the building your business is situated in which anyone can visit at any time.

There are an infinite number of hosting packages available - but how do you decide where to host your business website ?

At the bottom end of the scale you will find many "value" hosting packages for as little as $10 per month. At the other end of the scale, you can rent or buy your own dedicated server at several dollars per month. As with any company, they have to make money to be in business and the expression "you don't get something for nothing" holds true with web hosting.

At GreenWeb we offer our standard web hosting via two off shore companies; one in the UK and the other in the US. So why don't we use a New Zealand company? Well to be honest it boils down to value for money and reliability. The companies we use are large and well established. By buying large amounts of space from them we are able to offer our clients a top quality service at very reasonable prices.

Even though GreenWeb's website hosting is only $15 dollars per month you still get all the benefits of high connection speeds as well as the important flexibility of being able to have scripts, software and customised programs. In fact exactly the kind of thing which in many cases cheap hosting companies will not allow to run on their servers and this can greatly hamper your efforts to get the best look and performance from your website.

Does GreenWeb use dedicated servers?

Dedicated Servers are seen as the best type of web hosting for people who are running large resource intensive websites that receive many visitors due to their greater speed and reliability.  The downside is that they are more expensive however we do use them for certain depending on their individual requirements. If you think you may need this service (or if we think your website is likely to benefit from a dedicated server) we are happy to discuss the matter with you.

We can ensure that our web hosting will meet your needs in terms of speed, functionality and security. If you have any questions please feel free to either call or e-mail us and we will be happy to help.
