*📜 Plan description
Server Co-location provides space for customer-owned server equipment in Inspire Net's network room, with pricing and the physical arrangement discussed directly with the provider rather than published as a fixed plan. The facility is intended as an alternative to running servers on the customer's own premises while preserving control of the hardware. Network connectivity is delivered over multiple fibre-optic links using several backbone providers for redundancy, and Inspire Net technicians monitor the co-location network throughout the day throughout the year. The network room is secured and climate controlled, and each server rack has an individual uninterruptible power supply.
The customer remains responsible for insuring and maintaining the co-located equipment. Inspire Net can help arrange insurance quotations, but maintenance ownership does not transfer to the provider. Content hosted on co-located servers must be legal. No fixed CPU, RAM, disk allocation, traffic allowance, IP allocation, setup charge or numerical uptime guarantee is published for the service, so these items have to be confirmed when the co-location requirement is quoted. Co-location is specifically recommended for customers who need stronger availability arrangements or who want required outages coordinated more closely than on ordinary shared hosting. The service is operated from Inspire Net's New Zealand premises and is backed by email, helpdesk and telephone support, including a toll-free support number. The co-location arrangement is designed for organisations that want physical ownership and administrative control of their servers without having to provide their own conditioned server room, redundant connectivity or rack power protection. Because no packaged rack-unit, bandwidth, power or IP options are listed publicly, these technical and commercial details remain part of the quotation process. The service sits alongside Premium hosting as the higher-control option for workloads where ordinary shared-host maintenance windows are not suitable.

📄 Editorial Review
Inspire Net is a New Zealand-owned Internet service provider and hosting company based in Palmerston North. The business began in 1998, initially operating from a garage, and founder James Watts remains Founder & CEO. More than 26 years later, Inspire Net has developed into a regional telecommunications provider with 35+ local staff, combining Internet connectivity, web hosting, domains, VoIP and network infrastructure services.Hosting is only one part of the company’s wider technical operation. Inspire Net builds and operates fibre infrastructure around Palmerston North and Tararua and also provides wireless broadband, DSL, wholesale fibre connectivity and business Internet services. This gives its hosting operation direct access to experienced networking staff and locally operated infrastructure rather than functioning as a simple hosting reseller.
The standard web hosting range is compact and easy to understand. Small Linux is the entry shared-hosting package with 1 GB of storage, 1 TB of monthly data transfer and nightly backups retained for seven days. Large Linux increases storage to 10 GB, monthly transfer to 2.5 TB and backup retention to 30 days. Both packages use a conventional Linux, Apache, PHP and database environment suitable for business websites, content-management systems and custom PHP applications.
Customers requiring more resources can use Premium Linux or Windows Hosting, which is configured individually. It includes the capabilities of the Large package while allowing significantly more storage, unrestricted monthly transfer and fewer customer websites per server. Dedicated servers are also available as custom solutions rather than through a fixed catalog of predefined hardware configurations.
The shared hosting platform runs Debian GNU/Linux 12 64-bit, Apache HTTPD 2.4 and MariaDB 10. PHP is available through PHP-FPM for versions 8.1 through 8.4, while PHP 7.4 remains available through mod_php. Supported components include MySQLi, PDO, SQLite PDO, cURL, FFmpeg, GD and ImageMagick, providing a suitable environment for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and many traditional PHP applications.
Every hosting package includes AWStats website statistics. Files can be transferred through FTP, FTPS or SFTP, and databases can be administered using phpMyAdmin. Additional established server modules can also be considered when a website has a specific technical requirement.
Backups are one of the stronger elements of the shared-hosting service. Small Linux receives nightly backups with seven-day retention, while Large Linux receives nightly backups with 30-day retention. SSL support is available, and a standard SSL certificate is included with the current hosting service. Configurations requiring a dedicated IP address or more specialized SSL arrangements may involve additional annual costs.
Domain services are closely integrated with hosting. Inspire Net is an official New Zealand domain registrar and handles extensions including .nz, .co.nz, .net.nz, .org.nz, .gen.nz, .school.nz, .ac.nz, .maori.nz and .geek.nz, together with international extensions such as .com, .net and .org. Additional TLDs can be arranged when required, and a domain does not need to be transferred to Inspire Net simply to use its hosting.
DNS administration is handled directly by the company. Customers can request DNS changes through domains@inspire, while basic email forwarding and MX-record configuration can also be arranged without an additional charge. This approach works particularly well for organizations that prefer direct technical assistance instead of managing every DNS setting through a self-service hosting panel.
Inspire Net also provides server colocation for organizations that want to own and control their physical hardware while connecting it to Inspire Net’s network environment. Customers remain responsible for maintaining and insuring their colocated equipment.
Local nonprofit and community organizations can potentially receive sponsored web hosting, although annual domain-registration charges still apply.
The company’s wider portfolio includes residential and business fibre, rural wireless broadband, DSL, business HyperFibre, VoIP telephone service and virtual PBX solutions. There is no standardized standalone VPS, reseller-hosting or hyperscale-style cloud-server range within the normal hosting portfolio.
The website operates in English and services are priced for the New Zealand market in NZD. No multi-language/localized version exists.
