Our Upstream Providers have recently their hosting and domain registration prices effective from the 1st April 2023 for those on our lower priced plans. We are therefore having to increase some of our own prices. Inflation is causing prices to increase throughout the New Zealand economy, so a price increase shouldn't be unexpected. Likewise the weak NZ dollar means we are paying more for some wholesale services including hosting, which we pay for in USD.
Unfortunately most NZ businesses are having to increase prices. You should see the updated price on your next invoice. We also haven't increased our prices for many years, but it is a fact that in the current economic climate, a price increase was inevitable.
