Hosting

The term hosting can refer to a variety of Internet-based services. In the context of .nz, the term usually refers to the hosting of a domain name in a particular DNS through an arrangement between a hosting company and a registrant. This is necessary before a domain name can be used on the Internet. The term hosting is also used when companies, or organisations, host people's web sites or email accounts on their computers. This type of hosting falls outside the responsibility of .nz and the DNC. If a registrant experiences a problem with the use of their web site or email address, it is recommended that they approach the organisation hosting the web site or email account first. In many cases, even if the problem lies in the DNS, the same organisation will be responsible for hosting both.
