📄 Editorial Review

Gecko Host is a New Zealand hosting provider with an unusually strong specialization in Internet radio services. The business was founded by Dylan Garrod in July 2015, initially operating as a low-cost web hosting company. SHOUTcast and Icecast services were introduced later in 2015 and gradually became an important part of the business. In March 2020, Garrod stepped away from the director role and operational leadership moved to Seth Cole, with the transition taking effect from April 2020. The legal business identity remains Dylan Garrod t/a GeckoHost New Zealand.

The company combines traditional web hosting with Shared Hosting, VPS, Dedicated Servers, Domain Registration, SSL Certificates, SHOUTcast Hosting, Icecast Hosting and several specialist Internet-radio services. This makes GeckoHost particularly interesting for broadcasters that also need websites, domains or server infrastructure under the same account.

Shared Hosting is Linux-based and managed through cPanel. The Baby package includes 4 GB storage and one hosted domain, while Advanced increases storage to 8 GB and supports three domains. Unlimited removes the stated storage and hosted-domain limits. All packages include unmetered bandwidth, unlimited subdomains, unlimited FTP accounts and unlimited email accounts.

The hosting environment includes AWStats, Webalizer, access and error logs, file management, hotlink protection, IP blocking, redirects and password-protected directories. Email functionality includes POP3, SMTP, IMAP, webmail, SpamAssassin, autoresponders, forwarding, aliases and mailing lists. More than 75 applications can be installed through the application installer, including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento and MediaWiki. Shared hosting comes with a 99.99% uptime guarantee and a 7-day money-back guarantee.

The VPS range is unmanaged and designed for customers comfortable administering their own server. Root access is included together with remote reboot controls, rescue functionality and operating-system reinstallation. Dedicated IPv4 addresses are provided, while IPv6 is available on most configurations.

VPS resources range from entry configurations with 1 vCore, 1 GB RAM and 25 GB NVMe storage to substantially larger systems with 12 vCPUs, 24 GB RAM and 500 GB NVMe storage. Ubuntu, Debian and AlmaLinux are available on appropriate packages. GeckoHost also provides an AzuraCast VPS built around Debian 13 and AzuraCast, with 4 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe storage and unlimited transfer. The VPS platform carries a 99.99% uptime guarantee.

Dedicated Servers are unmanaged bare-metal machines available in Oceania, Europe and the United States. Hardware options include Intel Xeon, AMD Ryzen and AMD EPYC processors, with ECC memory available on many systems and NVMe storage used extensively throughout the range. Software RAID is available on suitable configurations.

The dedicated-server range stretches from smaller six-core systems to powerful AMD EPYC machines with 24 cores and 48 threads. Transfer allowances and network-port arrangements depend on the selected location and configuration. Some systems use metered transfer while others include unmetered connectivity. In-stock machines can generally be provisioned quickly, although certain configurations may require between 24 and 72 hours. Additional IP addresses and customized configurations can also be arranged. Dedicated hosting carries a 99.99% uptime guarantee.

Internet radio is one of GeckoHost's strongest areas. Both SHOUTcast Hosting and Icecast Hosting use Centova Cast v3 and support Auto DJ as well as live broadcasting. Broadcasters receive management tools for playlists, scheduling, statistics and stream administration, while free radio-player functionality is also included.

Entry radio packages support up to 100 listeners and include 5 GB of storage with 128 Kbps streaming. Higher plans add unlimited listener capacity, larger storage allocations, 320 Kbps audio, unlimited bandwidth and optional HTTPS/SSL proxy functionality. The +SSL packages also receive priority assistance through chat, email and support tickets.

SHOUTcast hosting carries a 99.99% uptime guarantee and includes assistance with station-directory integration and radio-player deployment. Icecast infrastructure is centrally hosted in France with 1 Gbps connectivity and carries a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Additional broadcasting products include Get More Listeners, which submits Internet-radio stations to numerous online radio directories, and an Amazon Alexa Skill service that makes stations accessible through Alexa-enabled devices. Mobile-app development and other broadcasting services can also be arranged separately.

Domain Registration includes New Zealand extensions such as .nz, .co.nz, .net.nz and .org.nz together with international extensions including .com, .net, .org, .kiwi, .fm, .eu, .me and .stream. Domain customers receive DNS-management functionality, and WHOIS privacy is available where the relevant registry permits it. Existing domains can also be transferred into GeckoHost.

The SSL Certificate catalog includes domain-validation, wildcard, organization-validation and extended-validation certificates. RapidSSL products cover the lower-cost segment, while GeoTrust certificates provide higher-level business validation. Automated installation and renewal can be used when both the hosting account and certificate remain with GeckoHost and the server runs a compatible control panel such as cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin.

The main website operates in English, while the customer billing interface supports a broad selection of languages including Arabic, Azerbaijani, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Persian, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian. Product billing can be displayed in NZD and USD.
