📄 Editorial Review

Domainz is one of New Zealand’s longest-running internet service companies. The business was incorporated on April 15, 1997, under the original name New Zealand Internet Registry Limited and initially managed the .nz domain-name registry.

Its origins are tied to the Internet Society of New Zealand, now known as InternetNZ, rather than to a single individual founder. As New Zealand introduced competition into the domain-registration market, the registry and registrar activities were separated, allowing Domainz to continue as a commercial registrar and internet-services provider.

Melbourne IT acquired Domainz in September 2003 for approximately A$1.5 million. The business later became part of Webcentral, which joined World Host Group through a merger completed in 2024. Domainz now operates within this larger international hosting organization while retaining its New Zealand identity and Auckland corporate registration.

Domainz Limited remains the legal entity behind the service in New Zealand. The company is registered under company number 830304, with David Spellenberg and Nathan Legg serving as directors. Domain registration services are supported through another registrar entity within the same corporate group.

Although Domainz built its reputation around .nz domain names, it now provides a complete range of internet services. Its portfolio covers domain registration, domain transfers, domain privacy, shared hosting, cPanel hosting, WordPress hosting, business hosting, reseller hosting, cloud hosting, Linux VPS, Windows VPS, managed servers, dedicated servers, professional email, business email, SSL certificates, website backups and malware protection.

The shared hosting range consists of Beginner, Starter, Plus and Business packages. Storage capacity runs from 10 GB to 100 GB of NVMe SSD space, while the number of supported email accounts, databases and additional domains increases with each plan. Entry-level packages receive one virtual CPU and 1 GB RAM, while the Business package raises the allocation to two virtual CPUs and 4 GB RAM.

Shared hosting includes unlimited bandwidth, LiteSpeed web-server technology, CloudLinux resource isolation, PHP 8.1, cPanel, Softaculous, SpamExperts filtering, firewall protection, SSL certificates and automated backups. The platform is straightforward enough for a small company website while still providing the tools needed by developers and experienced administrators.

WordPress hosting uses the same NVMe, cPanel and LiteSpeed foundation but adds WordPress-specific management. This includes automatic WordPress installation, managed core updates, security hardening, WP-CLI, one-click staging and LiteSpeed Cache. Website migration is included, and qualifying annual packages receive a domain registration for the first year.

Business Hosting provides a higher-resource environment for ecommerce stores, busy company websites and applications that have outgrown ordinary shared hosting. These plans add stronger resource allocations, daily off-site backups and proactive malware scanning. Customers can also choose from several international infrastructure locations.

Reseller hosting is suitable for developers, agencies and small hosting businesses that want to create separate cPanel accounts for their own customers. Packages support between 10 and 100 cPanel accounts, with NVMe storage ranging from 20 GB to 200 GB. White-label operation, individual resource allocation, SSL certificates, DDoS protection and domain reselling are included.

Each reseller customer receives an isolated cPanel environment rather than sharing one general account. Depending on the reseller package, individual accounts can receive approximately 2 GB to 4 GB RAM together with separate processor, storage and bandwidth limits. Weekly backups are standard, while daily backup options are available for customers who need shorter recovery intervals.

Cloud hosting is available for Linux and Windows workloads. Resources can be expanded as a project grows, making the service suitable for applications whose requirements may change over time. The cloud platform includes daily backups, restoration tools, DDoS protection, firewall controls and intrusion-detection measures.

The Linux cloud environment supports ordinary PHP applications together with Python, Ruby and Node.js projects. Windows cloud plans are intended for applications that depend on Microsoft technologies or need a Windows-based administrative environment.

Linux VPS packages provide full root access, NVMe storage and AlmaLinux. The larger configurations reach as much as 640 GB of storage, 128 GB RAM and 64 processor cores. This gives customers a clear upgrade path from shared hosting to isolated server resources without moving immediately to a dedicated machine.

Windows VPS plans provide equivalent administrator-level access for Microsoft-based applications. Managed Linux and Windows server packages are also available for organizations that prefer Domainz to handle operating-system installation, monitoring, software updates, security maintenance and routine server administration.

Professional Email provides domain-based mailboxes with calendar, contact and task-management functions. Anti-spam and antivirus protection are included, as is mobile-device access. Migration assistance helps businesses move existing mailboxes without manually recreating every account.

Business Email extends this approach into a more complete communication platform for companies that need professional mailboxes under their own domain. Domainz can therefore manage domains, websites and company email through the same customer account.

Security products include SSL certificates, domain privacy for eligible extensions, automated website backups and malware protection. Assistance is also available for compromised websites, which can be useful for small businesses without an internal security administrator.

The website has a modern, full-width layout and works properly on desktop and mobile screens. Services are organized into clear sections for domains, hosting, servers, email and security, making the catalog easier to navigate than older registrar websites.

The website is available in English only, and no multilingual or localized version exists. Product billing is primarily displayed in New Zealand dollars, while Australian-dollar pricing is also used for parts of the wider group’s service platform.

Several contractual details depend on the selected product. Uptime commitments can be 99.9% or 99.99%, while backups may run weekly or daily. Support availability also differs between general customer assistance and specialized technical teams. Customers should therefore read the terms attached to the exact package rather than assuming that every Domainz service uses the same conditions.
