Adam, from Zappie Host, wrote us to share this offer for a VPS in Auckland, New Zealand! Needless to say this is a pretty rare place when it comes to hosting in general, but even more so within the LowEnd price range!

Zappie Host LTD is a registered company in the UK under registration number 09481676 and were founded earlier this year. They initially launched with a Canadian location and have now added New Zealand to that. The coupon code ‘H05RLJUU36‘ applies to both New Zealand and Canada-based offers, though only the former have been listed. Zappie Host is represented by a small team who run their own network (AS61138) and are both ARIN and RIPE members. In Canada OVH’s network is being used, whereas their own infrastructure is being used in New Zealand. If you’re not that interested in the 50% discount you can use the coupon ‘FREE-SHIRT‘ to get a free Zappie Host T-Shirt!
Payments are accepted using PayPal and bitcoins. All nodes have E5 CPUs and use RAID10 for their disks. They do not use SolusVM but a control panel integrated within WHMCS. I’m not sure if that means no SolusVM is being used at all, but it any case it is convenient. There’s a 5-day no questions asked refund policy in place, unless you breach their Terms of Service (which you should read before ordering)!

Unfornately the IP’s does not show up as NZ :/
In fact. IP2Location, IPligence, IP Adress Labs and DB-IP – all say Belarus.
We have contacted them (along side a few others) to submit the corrections, Shouldn’t take too long until these will be corrected. Feel free to do either a traceroute or a whois on the IP address to see their Auckland GeoLocation in the meanwhile.
Hi!
It is interesting you have Belarusian IPs.
If I may ask, why do the IPs show up as Belarus? There isn’t any LIR in Belarus that would lease or sell RIPE prefixes to my knowledge. The situation is pretty difficult there.
Regards,
Many LIRs in Belarus currently sell their prefixes.
We have submitted the correction a few days ago to all the major GeoIP database companies. It shouldn’t take longer than I a week to see these corrections kick in I would imagine.
If you want assurance that the servers are located in New Zealand, please feel free to look at the traceroutes for the test IP addresses :)
Quick update about the geoip, seems that MaxMind the IP2location have updated their databases.

Seems like Telstra is not yet accept our IPv6 prefix internationally :( (National IPv6 works)
This will be fixed today (NZST)
Still not fixed.
I know :( Still waiting on upstreams to accept our v6 prefix
We a re pushing hard to get this done as quick as possible.
Regards,
Adam
Sooo… 2Weeks later, and finally we have IPv6 functional. Sorry for the delays @rm
Regards,
Adam
Thank you for the post Maarten!

Guys, offer KVM and will be heroes of LEB :D
Its idea that been sitting on our minds for a little while, we hope to offer KVM at some point, but sadly it wont happen any time soon
Adam
The NZ offers are really nice and unique.
Can you do Centos 5 32bit? When I go though to ordering I can only see Centos 6 and above
We just added Centos 5 to our template list in NZ
Which datacenter in Auckland? Have you colo’d or rented. Thanks.
New Zealand is colo’d in “HD NET”
Location: North Shore, Auckland, NZ
Regards,
Adam
:)
We are running really low on the allocated stock we had for the smaller plans. We will be placing in a new server host node in the dataceneter this coming weekend (18th July) to and have the deal continue for a while longer :)
[So just in case you miss out on the Starter and Medium NZ plans, we will be putting in more stock in a few days. We just did not expect such a demand for the smaller plans we have going]
Cheers,
Adam
Outbound routes is only via Vocus. :( Do you plan on using Telstra for outgoing traffic? It is a little disappointing – Vocus is a heavy peer of Cogent and Hurricane Electric.
@Lucas Yes this is on the cards in the coming day or two (for both outbound and inbound). Its depending how fast Telstra get their things in order, but we are hoping a day or two, not more.
Adam
Got one 2GB Canadian VPS yesterday.
So far openvpn and owncloud are working without any problems.
Support tickets were answered very quickly too.
Good service an value so far.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad you are enjoying the service thus far.
Regards,
Adam
Fantastic offers here Adam! =) Pricing is amazing for NZ.
Are you based in New Zealand yourselves? If so- why the UK registration?
Not originally from New Zealand, however now residing here. Thanks for the kind words :)
Adam
Just a quick review: Very VPS and awesome support.
:) :) We Appreciate the kind words
Regards,
Adam
*stable
“Out of stock” :(
Given that I live in New Zealand this is a huge disappointment…
Oh well, my home fiber connection is 100x faster than this offer anyway…
Really? Who are you using?
Curious, where in NZ are you able to get a 10Gbps line ?
Currently only the “starer” plan is out of stock, and we are planning to also add a server very soon to do some more future proofing.
UFB is pretty sweet, however costs ~50 times more than the plans above :P
Cheers,
Adam
How soon is “very soon”?
My UFB is 1000/500mbit, unlimited data, VOIP landline and with IPv6 all for only $99, I can stack a shedload of PC’s behind my Fritzbox without lagging down the connection lol
Are you with Snap? I’m guessing you’re in Gigatown, as that plan is unheard of anywhere else in NZ.
Yep and yep.
Snap are great, just a shame that 2D brought them…
Whats the DC in New Zealand? Also what is the network SLA
Your main site keeps going offline cloudflare issue??
Might be, thanks for the heads up. we will look into this!
Regards,
Adam
We are Colocated in “HD NET” in the North Shore using our own IP space and network.
We SLA is best effort at this stage. Might change later down the tracker.
Cheers,
Adam
awesome HD is good, can you do a deal on your 4GB VPS plan?
Same coupon code applies to all our plans in all locations :)
Adam
What is the process & cost for extra IPv4?
Feel free to open a ticket regarding extra IP address
Cheers
Do you allow bulk mailing from your server?
No sorry, we do not.

How about a LowEndSpirit style offering?
Can’t believe I missed this deal :(
I picked a NZ VPS up at full price though, It’s going great!
Out of Stock. Can you reopen? I am late…
Nice Ping, I’am from Viet Nam, which near New Zealand, i can see nice ping vps.
Thanks
