NZ-wide business support
Remote IT Support for New Zealand Businesses
Remote IT help without waiting for a local call-out
FernByte can support suitable software, email, cloud, account, security, and configuration issues for businesses throughout New Zealand, including Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, and regional centres. Because the session runs over your existing internet connection, there is no travel charge and the same technician can continue working with you if staff move between locations.
Remote support is especially useful for small businesses with home-based staff, several small sites, or no dedicated internal IT person. If a fault involves failed hardware, cabling, or work that cannot be completed safely over a remote session, we explain that early. Palmerston North and Manawatu customers can move to our on-site IT support, while other locations receive a clear recommendation for the next step.

- Microsoft 365, email, and account access
- Software errors and performance problems

Frequently asked questions.
How much does remote IT support cost?
Remote support is $50/hr. A minimum first-hour charge applies and each started hour is billed as a full hour. The same rate applies in the evenings and on weekends. We explain any separately approved software or third-party cost before proceeding.
Is remote access safe?
Yes. You initiate the session — we cannot connect to your device without your permission. You can see everything we do on screen in real time, and you can end the session at any moment. The connection closes permanently when the job is done.
What software do you use for remote access?
We use industry-standard, reputable remote access tools trusted by IT professionals worldwide. No obscure or unverified software — ever.
Can you support both Windows and Mac?
Yes. We support Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS on all modern hardware.
What do I need to get started?
Just a working internet connection and a device you can access. We'll guide you through downloading the remote access tool — it takes less than two minutes.
Do you offer after-hours remote support?
Yes. We're open until 10 PM on weekdays and 8 PM on weekends. Remote support stays at $50/hr during those evening and weekend hours, with no surcharge. Urgent help outside those hours depends on availability.
What if my problem can't be fixed remotely?
If your issue requires physical attention and you're in the Palmerston North or Manawatu area, we can arrange an on-site visit. For customers elsewhere in NZ, we'll advise the best course of action.
