Keeping Kiwi Businesses Online Since 2008

Kia ora, I’m Simon, the founder of Red Jet Web Services. We are based locally in Heretaunga, Upper Hutt, and for over 15 years, we’ve been the engine behind hundreds of New Zealand business websites.

I started Red Jet Web Services because I saw too many local businesses struggling with “bare-bones” hosting. Their sites were slow, often insecure, and when things went wrong, they were stuck in a queue with an overseas call centre.

Our philosophy: “Premium is Standard” – We’ve learned that a fast, secure website requires the right tools. That is why we don’t just provide server space; we provide a fully managed platform.

We have invested heavily in our infrastructure and include premium software licenses like WP Rocket and Gravity Forms in every plan. This gives you enterprise-level performance without the hidden costs.

True WordPress Specialists – We are specialists, not generalists. We do not host email (we leave that to experts like Google and Microsoft) so we can devote all our attention to your website.

We also do not touch non-WordPress sites. By focusing 100% on the WordPress ecosystem, we can guarantee a level of depth, security, and expertise that generic hosts simply can’t match.

Whether you need a new home for your site, a conversion from Wix/Squarespace, help with a hacked website, or just a faster website, we are here to help.
