Q3: What are the advantages of hosting with a local hosting provider such as Avatar?

There are numerous benefits to hosting your New Zealand Web site locally:

• Faster loading times - Web Sites will load quickly for New Zealand viewers when hosted locally.
• Better response times - If there’s an issue with your hosting service, a local provider will be able to respond quickly to your problem. You could run into issues with time zone differences if you are dealing with an international provider.
