I know this is an ongoing argument but I thought I'd try and get some opinions on my predicament.
We have a Magento ecommerce site hosted in NZ for NZers but the performance is horrible. We are on shared hosting and my developers are saying we need better performing servers to host magento i.e at least a VPS. In my opinion for the quality of the product it doesn't seem worth it to host in NZ. Take Nexcess hosts for example. They offer a Magento Optimized Hosting environment for under $30NZD/month severs in AUS UK US. Combine that with a CDN like Cloudfare which has servers in Auckland and we should get good performance shouldn't we?
Nexcess will also migrate the site completely free.
Does anyone have any experience in this and can shed some light on it? Or suggest a good Host in NZ that can provide the same sort of product for the price??
Cheers
