Hosting Provider MyHost

MyHost is a New Zealand-based hosting provider focused on the English-speaking market. The company emphasizes transparent pricing, NVMe drives, and "unlimited" shared hosting packages with no hidden fees. Their services cover typical infrastructure needs: business card websites, online stores, blogs, and projects where low latency within Oceania is important.

Security  

Backups are created daily for all plans and stored for up to 14 days. Restoration is performed directly from the control panel, without contacting support. Basic DDoS filtering is enabled by default and operates at the network level; however, the exact activation thresholds are not disclosed: if traffic limits are exceeded, restrictions may be automatically applied. Authentication logs are available in cPanel, but the provider does not specify their retention period.

Pricing Policy  

The provider's basic shared hosting package starts from NZ$8.95 per month (approximately 5.3 USD) and includes unlimited traffic, disk space, mailboxes, and SSL. Overall, MyHost targets the mid-budget segment and focuses on predictable costs. An ongoing discount applies for annual payments, and the cost for additional websites, databases, and subdomains is listed upfront in the price list, with no hidden extra charges. VPS and dedicated servers are offered as a separate product line and are designed for tasks where stable pricing is more important than a set of premium features.

Infrastructure  

Server management is performed via cPanel: options include selecting the operating system, rebooting, and basic resource monitoring. If needed, uploading a custom ISO image is supported. Network parameters include gigabit channels and ports up to 1 Gbps with unlimited traffic, with an upgrade to 10 Gbps available for an additional fee. Shared hosting plans utilize a cluster based on LiteSpeed with NVMe storage and Brotli- compression, while for VPS and dedicated servers, KVM virtualization and NVMe drives are used without overselling.

Datacenters  

The provider focuses on the Oceania market and hosts its infrastructure in facilities in New Zealand and Australia. Both datacenters are Tier III compliant and equipped with redundant power supplies backed by diesel generators. Latency within the region remains minimal: about 1–5 ms to Auckland and approximately 15 ms to Sydney, while ping to Los Angeles reaches around 120 ms. Server relocation outside of New Zealand and Australia is not provided: to change regions, you will need to deploy a new instance and migrate data manually. Connection to NZIX helps 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;  

Disadvantages  

• geography 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 cost, but are stored for only 14 days;  

• IPv6 is allocated only as /64 without the possibility of expanding to /56 on VPS.

Technologies Used  

Public descriptions mention cPanel, as well as the possibility of installing CMS in one in one click (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal). For VPS, KVM virtualization is used; Linux distributions and Windows are supported. 

Customer Support  

Complex inquiries are escalated to engineers, so their resolution may require additional time. Simple questions, according to the stated conditions, are usually handled faster. Support operates 24/7 and is available via tickets, online chat, and phone. If support quality is critical for your project, it's worth asking a few technical questions in advance to assess the response speed and the level of detail in the answers.
