Cheeky Monkey Hosting Reviews

Cheeky Monkey Hosting is a New Zealand-based web hosting provider founded around 2006 by Jaron Phillips. Phillips started the company after struggling to find a suitable local hosting solution with excellent uptime and support for his own online maritime school. Positioned as a provider of 'professional grade' hosting, the company is 100% New Zealand owned and operated, primarily serving small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), clubs, and individuals across the South Pacific. Their head office and Tier 1 data center are located in Auckland, NZ. The infrastructure features high-speed connectivity, peering with local internet exchanges, high-density blade servers, cloud technologies with load balancing (LVS), UPS with diesel generator backup, climate control, fire suppression systems, video surveillance, and intrusion alarms. Services include shared web hosting, WordPress hosting (utilizing Google Cloud infrastructure), email hosting, cloud hosting, reseller hosting, domain name registration (including .nz, .co.nz, .com, .au, .co.uk, etc.), and free SSL certificates with hosting plans. They emphasize customer support, offering assistance via phone, ticket, and email during business hours (NZ time), complemented by a detailed knowledgebase. A unique aspect is their commitment to social responsibility, donating a percentage of profits to the SPCA. While well-equipped for SMBs, their capacity for large corporate hosting needs is not explicitly detailed.
