New
Zealand based
hosting
companies ensure easier help and support for beginners who made require
assistance getting started.
www.feeparking.co.nz
is a full featured, reliable, reputable mid priced option and one of NZ's
larger, more trusted companies.
(I use freeparking for my .co.nz names).
www.cheaphosting.co.nz
- NZ based Hosting only - from $10 a month.
www.netneeds.co.nz
basic hosting plans start from just $1 a week. Competitive domain name
pricing.
www.domains4less.co.nz
can register domain .nz names for about as cheap as you can get.
Overseas Hosting and Domains can
be somewhat cheaper than NZ hosts and can have lots of features given
they are often large foreign companies. But if you need help and support,
it may take longer to get answers and resolve issues. Prices will be in
foreign dollars (usually US) and while some can only register top
level domains (ie .com .net .org and not .co.nz) they can almost all still
host .co.nz names if registered first in NZ (such as through freeparking,
which is what I do). Virtally all hosting companies now provide free web
site building facilities with their hosting packages.
www.000webhost.com
for FREE hosting without ads
or banners. My first choice
for personal sites, 'Mini sites' or for just practicing with.
www.BraveNet.com
- Both FREE piggybacked
sites and professional paid hosting.
www.ipower.com - Excellent
professional paid hosting with free domain names and currently offering
special intro prices. (These are the people
I use for my offshore hosting and domain name registration.)
www.squidoo.com
- Free, (piggybacked) single page sites to share an opinion, sell a
product, push a cause. Click
here for an example.
or
'Hubpages'
for spreading the word - great community environment with like minded
people.
