How is this different from web hosting?
The distinction is responsibility, not just a larger resource allowance. Define which environment and operational tasks NZHost will handle, what stays with your developer or team, and how changes are approved.
MANAGED HOSTING
Managed hosting for custom applications. Software and systems, considered together.
Hosting for applications that need more than a standard website package. Discuss your runtime, deployment and operational needs, with management responsibilities agreed before setup.
Request a service proposalSERVICE FIT
Make the management boundary clear.
Managed hosting combines a hosting environment with an agreed set of operational responsibilities. For a custom application, that can involve decisions about runtime dependencies, deployment, patching, monitoring and recovery. Those tasks are not automatically all included. NZHost brings software and systems experience to assessing your environment and defining a practical management scope.
Who this is for
Businesses and developers running custom applications or websites that need a clearer operational arrangement than hosting space alone.
Define the scope before work begins.
- Assess application dependencies and deployment needs
- Discuss server resources and environment requirements
- Define access, patching and monitoring responsibilities
- Plan backups, recovery and future changes
Your proposal identifies resources, responsibilities, locations, backup arrangements, pricing and applicable support terms. Published package allowances apply where a package is selected; specialist service details are agreed separately.

Questions about managed hosting
Does management cover application development?
Server administration and application code changes are different kinds of work. Identify release, maintenance and incident responsibilities. A separate development scope may be appropriate for defects, new features or modernisation.
What should we agree about backups and monitoring?
Specify what is checked or backed up, who responds, retention and restore arrangements, and realistic recovery requirements. Coverage, response expectations and any service commitments must be confirmed for the proposed service.
