AI Platform

Open-weight models running at commercial speeds

AI models require capable, high-performing hardware. The outlay for a suitable setup is very expensive for individuals and small businesses. SiteHost’s AI Platform bridges that gap. Access powerful open-weight models with full context windows, without the compromise of heavy quantizing. All at a competitive price.

No data retention

Big providers often have convoluted and ambiguous data retention and training policies. None of that here; your request data is never stored.

Fair pricing

Run your own AI models without shelling out on an expensive GPU. Open-weight models don't have to be prohibitively expensive.

Fast open-weight models

Access high performing open-weight models, without any compromises. Let the top-of-the-line GPUs in our data centre do the work.

Privacy and security.
Zero Data Retention

Complete data privacy

Every model we host is served on our own hardware, from our own NZ-based datacentres. Requests never go off-site.

API

Cost-efficiency, without compromises

The best open-weight models demand powerful and expensive machines. Access high-performing models running on commercial-grade hardware through our API. The privacy, performance and control of self-hosting, at a fair price.

Safe & contained

None of your data is ever stored. We use vLLM to serve models with telemetry disabled, keeping your data safe.

Hosting experience

We've run business infrastructure since 2004, and we still love new tech. We've even built and host our own AI-powered tools.

Cost-effective

Serving through the API means your costs are tied to usage. It’s a cost-efficient way to run AI models without requiring massive initial investment.

Top-grade hardware and facilities

The infrastructure runs in our data centre on slick modern hardware, under the control of our professional team.

Speed things up

If you’re relying on AI models to automate day-to-day tasks, speed matters. Hosting locally means less latency than anything hosted offshore.

Keeping it simple

Use one fully OpenAI compatible API for all our available models. Just plug-in your API key and you’re ready to go.

AI Workloads

Take the weight off

Use powerful AI tools to offload automation tasks. Have big blocks of hard to understand data that need summarising or re-structuring? Got big databases and documentation piling up that could benefit from context-driven semantic searching? We’re already using the AI Platform in-house to handle a lot of our transcription workload. Let AI take the workload off your team’s hands too.

How good is it when SiteHost is on your side?

Let our customers tell you.

There is a considerable difference between dealing with overseas companies and New Zealand ones. It's our story, too: if any Panel Quote customer has a problem, they can talk to me directly. Sometimes that’s the only way to get things sorted. SiteHost is practising the same thing. It's real, and hopefully it stays that way forever. In terms of hosting, large overseas corporations are pedalling a product that maybe suits a decent percentage of people. But we needed an organisation that answered our questions properly, honestly and truthfully.

When we're hunting around for hosting one of our primary things is support. That's always been key. I've hosted with a lot of American companies, and their support is either next to none, non-existent, or handed off to a call centre that's really not well connected to the company at all. So from my point of view, it's peace of mind.
