Hi Team,
I have just returned from 7 1/2 years in the UK and not exactly up to speed with NZ life and companies so am looking for some basic advice around service providers specific to NZ.
I am currently working with a web developer to build a Web Application. It will be built in ASP.NET, and we will require a Windows Web Server and a separate MS-SQL Server.
So..
First point of order.. does anyone have any recommendation as to which provider for Virtual Server hosting I should go with?
https://www.net24.co.nz/ (good but it looks a bit expensive for startup)
or MS Azure? (an one used this yet?)
Any other NZ company hosting recommended?
Second point of order.. A big part of my application will be based around people being able to look up their address based off the postal register. I need to create a database with all the up to date postal addresses in it so that people can type their or any other address and have it auto fill in to select the correct address e.g. Like on Sparks Outage page:
http://www.spark.co.nz/help/servicealert/outage-map/
Anyone know a company that provides a plugin to support this? Or do I need to have my own developed? So far looking this up its going to cost $1000 P/A to have the information feed from NZ Post.
