NZ vs NZ
Kapsule vs
MyHost
MyHost is Auckland-based and a genuine NZ competitor. They do many things well. Here's the honest comparison: including the parts MyHost doesn't advertise.
The inode trap
MyHost's “Unlimited” storage has a 250,000 inode cap across all plans. A busy WordPress site with a full media library can breach this cap, at which point uploads fail. Kapsule uses explicit GB figures so you always know where you stand.
