Honest note
Where MyHost legitimately wins.
MyHost has more years of operation
They've been around longer. If a long brand-history is decision-critical, that's their advantage.
NZ-located servers today
MyHost hosts in NZ today. Kapsule's NZ origin tier (Auckland) ships Q3 2026; until then we're on the global edge tier with sub-150ms TTFB to NZ.
When to pick MyHost
If NZ-located physical servers from day one are non-negotiable for your use case (e.g. specific regulatory or latency requirements), MyHost has that today.
Moving over
Free migration from MyHost.
Free white-glove migration from MyHost. Our team handles the cPanel-to-KPanel move: files, database, email, DNS, all of it. Zero downtime, scheduled outside your business hours, no fee, no hidden charges.
Q + A
What buyers ask us about MyHost.
Are you a MyHost reseller?
No. Kapsule Group Limited is independent. We operate our own infrastructure (global edge today, Auckland origin tier Q3 2026), our own KPanel, our own support team.
Can I keep my MyHost-registered domain?
Yes. We can either point your domain at Kapsule by changing nameservers (no transfer needed) or migrate the domain registration too. Both are free.
How does free migration work?
You give us access to your MyHost cPanel. We mirror your files, export your database, pull your mailboxes via IMAP, and prepare a staging clone on Kapsule. Once you verify the clone, we cut DNS over outside business hours. Zero downtime.
What if I prefer NZ-only physical servers?
We're building Auckland origin servers for Q3 2026. Until then, your site runs on global enterprise infrastructure with our edge network serving NZ visitors at sub-150ms TTFB. When NZ origin launches, existing customers migrate free, zero downtime.
