Major Website Updates Coming

We are making some major changes to our website over the next few weeks, along with a brand new fresh website and design.  Some changes have already been made. This will be the first major update we have had on our website in over 5 years. This may result in some issues and broken links on our websites. If you do notice any broken links, please email us. This will not affect any client websites.

CPanel server hardware upgrades.

We are pleased to announce that all our CPanel servers have had their hardware upgraded over recent months, as part of our regular updating schedule. This will allow the reliability and performance of the servers to remain at their very high levels. The continued reliability of our services is very important to us, and we are pleased to be one of the most reliable and longest established hosting providers in New Zealand, now being in our 12th year of business.

  This is just a repeat announcement to one we posted back on the 15/12/2011, regarding the new URLs for accessing Webmail & Cpanel. Most of our servers now have these new logins as mandatory, so if you are having trouble logging in or getting security error messages, please make sure you are using the new logins below. This announcement ONLY applies to clients on our Premium Grade CPanel branded web hosting plans. Due to security and server upgrades mentioned in a previous announcement, clients on our CPanel plans will soon only be able to login to CPanel & Webmail through a secure login page. Therefore the old login URL you used to use will be phased out in the coming weeks. The new logins will depend on which server your website is installed on. Please check your Account information email that we initially sent you when the account was first setup, which should display the server you are on. If you don't have access to this, you can also try logging int...
