At WordPressHosting.nz we want to be open about how our content is made. We use artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool in our editorial process, but every page is reworked, fact-checked and edited by a person before it is published. This page explains how that works.
How we use AI
We use Claude, an AI tool developed by Anthropic, to make parts of our work more efficient. That includes gathering and organising research, structuring a guide and producing a first draft. AI helps us work faster and cover technical topics thoroughly.
AI is always an aid and never the final word. No page is published in the form it leaves the AI tool.
Our human editing
Once a draft exists, an editor takes over. This is where the most important part of the work happens. During editing we:
- Fact-check details against reliable primary sources, such as hosting providers’ own documentation and plan pages, WordPress.org, the Domain Name Commission and InternetNZ.
- Correct or remove anything that is wrong, out of date or misleading.
- Rework the language so that the text is clear, accurate and easy to follow, including for readers setting up their first website.
- Add context that an AI tool cannot supply on its own, such as what a specification means in practice for a New Zealand site.
- Make sure the content is original and not copied from other websites.
The goal is that you always get content that is correct, useful and written for people rather than for search engines.
Details that change quickly
Hosting is a fast-moving subject. Prices, storage and bandwidth limits, supported PHP versions and bundled features are revised regularly, and an AI tool can reproduce figures that are no longer current. For that reason, we check technical and pricing details against the provider’s own published information at the time of writing, and we avoid stating figures we cannot confirm.
Why we are open about it
We believe in transparency. Explaining how our guides are produced is a matter of trust: you should be able to rely on what you read here and know how it was put together.
We also follow Google’s guidance on helpful, reliable content. Under that guidance, what matters is that content is accurate and created to help people, whether or not AI was involved in producing it. That is the standard we work to.
Fact-checking and responsibility
Everything published on WordPressHosting.nz is covered by editorial responsibility. An editor reviews each page before it goes live, and we update pages when the facts change, for example when a provider revises its plans or WordPress changes its technical requirements.
Responsibility for published content always sits with us, not with the tool used to help draft it. You can read more about the people behind the site on our About us page.
Our content is information, not professional advice
Our guides are informative and descriptive. They are general information, not technical, legal or financial advice tailored to your situation, and they are not a recommendation to choose any particular provider or plan.
Before you sign up for a service, confirm the current details with the provider. The conditions for using this site are set out in our terms of use.
Found an error?
We work hard to get things right, but mistakes can still slip through. If you notice something that is inaccurate or out of date, please let us know through our contact page and we will correct it as soon as we can.
