Managed WordPress Hosting for Data-Heavy & Science Websites

Science and research websites often carry enormous loads - from document repositories and video streaming to data filters and complex search tools. Without the right hosting, these sites can slow to a crawl, frustrate users, and even become inaccessible at critical times.

At Weave, we've been supporting New Zealand science programmes and data-rich platforms for over 20 years. Our managed WordPress hosting is optimised for high-performance websites with large archives, ensuring your resources are fast, secure, and easy to access for every audience.

Why hosting matters for research & data platforms

• Reliability for public resources - Your publications, datasets, and tools must be available 24/7. Downtime means stakeholders can't access the information they need. 
• Performance under load - Sites with heavy grids, filters, and facets can slow down quickly without the right optimisation. We keep them smooth and responsive. 
• Search & discovery - Users need to find resources quickly. We provide real-time indexing of all uploaded PDFs and documents for powerful on-site search. 
• Media delivery - Large video files and livestreams require hosting designed for speed. Our infrastructure handles streaming with ease.

What's included

• Performance - Advanced page caching, Redis object caching, and CDN distribution for assets and video. 
• Document storage & indexing - Unlimited PDF/document hosting with automatic real-time indexing for on-site search. 
• Video delivery - Optimised hosting for video streaming, from short explainers to full-length recordings. 
• Search & filters - Hosting configured to support complex WordPress queries, filters, and facets at scale. 
• Security - Proactive patching, vulnerability monitoring, and firewalls to protect sensitive research data. 
• Reliability - Daily backups, staging sites, and uptime monitoring every 60 seconds from multiple locations.

Why Weave?

There are plenty of hosting companies. Here's why organisations across New Zealand trust us with their WordPress sites:

• Trusted by NZ science programmes - We've hosted platforms like Our Land & Water and NZ Biological Heritage, managing hundreds of datasets and resource pages. 
• Proven performance - From real-time search indexing to high-traffic streaming, we've optimised WordPress for data-heavy use cases. 
• Long-term support - We understand research projects evolve. We're here to adapt your hosting as your datasets and resources grow.

Case in Point

A national science programme needed a platform to host hundreds of projects, publications, and tools - all discoverable by multiple audiences. We delivered a hosting setup with advanced caching, real-time PDF indexing, and video streaming. The result: a fast, reliable website that stakeholders across policy, research, and community sectors could access without friction.
