Why host with us?

• Visitors will enjoy superb access to your site^*. This is because our high-performance Web server connects independently to the two major US Internet backbones. One of the connections uses a "T3" 45 mega-bit/second fiber link. This huge capacity means excellent access times for site visitors, and built-in redundancy in case of problems on any of the backbones.
• Site development will be easier and cheaper, because we provide free standard services such as FormMail and SendMail functions for you or your site developer to use.
• Security is well covered, with our secure server and mail encryption services
• Site updating will be less effort, thanks to our automated Web page uploading and downloading, which uses built-in compression for all file transfers.
• Microsoft FrontPage support is also available, for those who want the simplest possible approach to site design.
• The value of your site will be easy to measure if you select our optional monthly log analysis, which will tell you (among other things) what pages were visited and where surfers came from to get there.
• Your site can be a sophisticated money-earner, not just a promotion vehicle, thanks to our custom automation, electronic commerce and dynamic Web site design services.
• Your special needs can be handled -- our long experience in creating and managing remotely-administered Web sites means we are attuned to particular requirements you may have, such as hosting WebHub-based automated sites.
• You'll get quality service, all the time.We're not an ISP catering for thousands of dial-in users -- instead, we specialise in Web hosting and automation, giving it our full attention.

Special Notes for New Zealand Clients

Do host on with us on our US servers if:

• Your target audience is primarily international or US-based
• You want maximum performance and accessibility.
• You want a local point of contact
  (our Web server may be in California, but we're on hand in your back yard.
• You do want to pay in New Zealand currency, but you don't want to pay high charges for international hits on your pages.
• You want experienced Web professionals hosting your site.
  We're not a month-old startup company, nor are we a vast organisation with a poor grasp of the technical issues involved. We've been satisfying demanding clients since 1989, and creating and hosting complex and extensive Web sites since 1995.

Don't host on our US-based servers if:

• Your target audience is only (or largely) New Zealanders. On average, a New Zealand visitor will get better access to a slow NZ-based site than to a fast US-based site (this is not always the case, but is sometimes so at certain times of day). Thus, hosting on our US-based systems won't make life easier for your "average" visitor if they happen to be a New Zealander.
• You want us to provide ISP (dial-up and email collection) services as well. As Web specialists, we don't offer dial-up services. However, there's no problem in having us host your site while your local ISP handles your dial-up and email services.

As we also offer hosting with comparable services in New Zealand (including a site mirrored in New Zealand and the USA), please contact us if you prefer a New Zealand-based site.
