Hosting Provider MyHost

MyHost is a New Zealand hosting provider, operating since 2013 and focused on the English-speaking market (NZ/AU). The company emphasizes transparent pricing, NVMe drives, and "unlimited" shared packages with no hidden fees. Services cover typical infrastructure tasks: business card websites, online stores, blogs, and projects where low ping within Oceania is important.

Security

DDoS filtering is enabled by default and operates at the network level; exact thresholds are not disclosed, but if limits are exceeded, traffic may be automatically restricted.

Backups are created daily and stored for 14 days for all plans; restoration is available in the panel without a support ticket. Authentication logs are available in cPanel, the retention period is not specified.

Pricing Policy

In terms of positioning, MyHost is closer to the mid-budget segment: the starting shared package is NZ$8.95/month (≈ 5.3 USD) and includes unlimited traffic, disk space, mailboxes, and SSL.

When paying annually, a permanent discount is applied, and the cost for additional websites, databases, and subdomains is listed in the price list without any "surprises." VPS and dedicated servers are offered as a separate line and are aimed at scenarios where price stability is more important than premium options.

Infrastructure

For shared plans, a LiteSpeed cluster + NVMe + Brotli compression is used; for VPS and dedicated servers — KVM, NVMe, no overselling.

For networking — gigabit upstream channels and ports up to 1 Gbit/s with unlimited traffic; up upgrade to 10 Gbit/s is available for an additional fee. Management is done via cPanel: OS selection, reboot, basic monitoring; loading a custom ISO is supported.

Datacenters

The geography covers New Zealand (Auckland) and Australia (Sydney); both sites are Tier III, with dual power feeds and backup diesel generators.

Ping to Auckland is 1–5 ms, to Sydney is 15 ms, to Los Angeles is 120 ms. You cannot move a server outside NZ/AU: you will have to order a new instance and migrate the data yourself.

However, low ping across Oceania and direct participation in NZIX ensure minimal latency for the local audience.

Advantages

— fixed price for the entire contract term;
— NVMe drives and unlimited traffic as standard;
— ability to build a custom configuration and change resources at any time;
— English-language panel and 24/7 support;
— 30-day money-back guarantee without "hidden" fees.

Disadvantages

— geography is limited to NZ/AU — if you need a server in Europe or the USA, there's nothing to choose from;
— backups are included in the price, but are stored for only 14 days;
— IPv6 is issued only as /64 without the possibility of expanding to /56 on VPS.

Us Technologies Used

Public descriptions mention cPanel, as well as the possibility of one-click CMS installation (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal).

KVM virtualization is used for VPS; Linux distributions and Windows are supported. Additional network capabilities allow for more flexible infrastructure configuration than the basic "one server — one IP" setup.

Customer Support

24/7 support via tickets, live-chat, and phone is advertised; according to public statements, simple requests are processed within 10 minutes, while complex ones are transferred to engineers and require time for diagnosis.

For users for whom the quality of support is important, it is reasonable to ask a few technical questions in advance to assess the speed and specificity of the response.
