Holds against everyone
Five things Kapsule wins regardless.
Advantages that hold against every competitor on this page. Then pick a competitor below for the deep-dive comparison.
30-day free trial
Card captured for the post-trial renewal, $0.00 charged today. Cancel before day 30 from the billing page and you won't be charged. NZ competitors (MyHost, SiteGround, SiteHost) require payment upfront with money-back rather than a true free trial.
Price locked at signup (clause 7.5)
Our Terms of Service contractually prevent us from raising your renewal price. New customers may pay different rates; your rate stays locked to whatever you signed up at.
NZD-denominated, GST-inclusive
International hosts bill in USD with hidden tax. We bill in NZD, GST included on the invoice. No FX hit, no surprise tax on top.
NZ-based company and support
NZBN 9429050450015. Christchurch-registered. Every support interaction is with an in-house NZ engineer, not an outsourced overflow desk on the other side of the world.
Explicit storage (no "unlimited" bait)
5 GB / 25 GB / 100 GB on each tier. No hidden inode limits, no fair-use throttling that kicks in arbitrarily.
