Q + A
What buyers ask us about MyHost.
These are the questions buyers send us while they are deciding between MyHost and us, answered the way one of our own engineers would answer them on the phone.
Are you a MyHost reseller?
Kapsule Group Limited is independent. We run our own servers, our own control panel and our own support.
Can I keep my domain?
Yes. Point it at us by changing its nameservers, or move the registration across as well. Both are free.
What if I want my site on hardware in New Zealand?
Your site runs on our servers overseas, with our own network serving New Zealand visitors, so a reader in Auckland gets an Auckland response time. Where the hardware itself has to sit in New Zealand, MyHost is the one to talk to.
