CARE, PLANNED
Website hosting NZ
Web hosting provides the server space your website needs to be available online. Website maintenance covers the routine technical work that helps keep that setup cared for after launch. We review your platform and existing arrangements, then explain the hosting and support options that suit your business.
Give your website a suitable place to run. Hosting work can include setting up the hosting space, connecting your domain, configuring the website and checking key pages after setup. You receive a summary of the hosting arrangement, renewal responsibilities and how to request help.
Keep the technical care organised after launch. Maintenance work can include applying supported software updates, checking affected pages and forms, reviewing backup status and reporting issues that need attention. You receive a record of completed work and any recommended next steps.

Website projects in practice
These website projects help illustrate why hosting and maintenance should suit the platform. The care examples below describe what to consider for each type of site.
Clothing · Website demo
A clothing website project presented through GitHub Pages. This demo illustrates a static-site hosting approach; it is not evidence of a managed online shop or payment service.
Care to consider: website deployment, image and link checks, and keeping a recoverable copy of the site. A live shop’s checkout, orders and customer data require a separately planned setup.

Dance · Wellington
A website project presenting breaking dance classes and community information, with practical details for people exploring the programme.
Care to consider: checking class information, contact routes and key pages after changes. Hosting, backup and technical maintenance tasks depend on the website’s actual setup and support plan.

Practical website care
These examples show the practical tasks available. Your care plan confirms the included work and frequency.
Set up or manage website hosting and keep a record of the provider, account responsibilities and renewal dates.
Set up or review backups and check their status. Record what is covered, how long copies are kept and how to request a restore.
Update supported website software, themes or plugins, then check affected pages and functions. Flag compatibility problems and explain the repair options.
Check key pages, navigation, links and certificate status, and test enquiry routes where included. Report faults found and any fixes needed.
Help supported WordPress sites with core, theme and plugin updates. Investigate reported errors, identify unsupported components and explain the next step.
Send the affected page address, what happened and a screenshot if useful. We assess the request, explain the next step and confirm when completed work is ready to check.
A short summary of completed work, checks and anything needing attention. Reports follow the maintenance schedule in your plan.
Illustrative example
Example WordPress website · One scheduled maintenance visit
This fictional example shows the format, not work completed for a customer. Your summary reflects your platform, included tasks and actual findings. A successful backup status does not by itself confirm a tested restore.
Getting started
From your current setup to ongoing care, here’s how it works.
Send your website address, current provider if known, and what you need help with.
We review the platform, hosting and access, then flag any work needed before support begins.
Confirm included tasks, backups, support hours, responsibilities and costs before proceeding.
Arrange access securely, complete agreed setup or migration, and check the website.
Follow the agreed care schedule, report completed work and use a clear route for support requests.
Moving providers
A hosting migration moves your website to a different server or provider. Your website address can usually stay the same. We first review your platform, access and connected services to confirm what can be moved.
Moving the website does not automatically mean transferring your domain registration or moving your email. We identify the services you want to keep and confirm which settings need changing. Any email migration is scoped separately.
We plan the changeover to reduce disruption and explain any expected interruption before starting. Domain changes can take time to reach everyone, so visitors may temporarily reach either hosting setup. Timing depends on the platform, provider and domain settings.
Keep your existing hosting active until the agreed checks are complete and we confirm the handover. This helps avoid losing access to files, email or other services still using the old account.
Discuss your hosting move ↗Costs and inclusions
Hosting and maintenance plans include a documented care schedule, backup arrangements and support expectations. These are confirmed for your website before the service begins.
Pricing reflects your platform, hosting needs and level of care. Setup fees, recurring charges, GST treatment, renewal and cancellation terms are stated before you proceed. Work outside the plan is discussed and priced first. Hosting and maintenance are separate from a website build unless listed in the quote.
Choose the right help
This service focuses on hosting and routine technical maintenance. For prices, photos, team details and wording changes, explore website content updates.
A new look may need a website redesign. New features belong with custom web development, while search visibility and measurement are covered by SEO and analytics.
A short outline is enough to begin. We arrange required access separately.
Your questions
Hosting provides the infrastructure your website runs on. Maintenance covers technical care such as software updates, backups and checks.
We can review an existing website and its access arrangements. Support depends on the platform, condition and available access, so we confirm suitability before accepting ongoing work.
Yes, subject to a review of your theme, plugins, hosting and access. We identify any existing faults before recommending ongoing care.
Not necessarily. Maintenance may be possible with your current hosting. If a move is suitable, we agree preparation, testing and changeover arrangements first. See how a hosting move works.
Check your care plan’s inclusions for backup and restore arrangements. We can review existing backups if you’re unsure what can be recovered.
These can have different providers and renewal dates. Your plan identifies who manages each service.
Response expectations depend on your agreed support plan and working hours. Tell us if you have an urgent issue; we confirm availability and next steps. A response time is different from the time needed to resolve an issue.
Only where listed in your plan. For regular changes to text, images or documents, see our content update service.
The cost depends on your setup and level of care. See how pricing and inclusions are confirmed.
