Compare Evermore Hosting with Budget and Managed WordPress Options
When you compare Evermore to other hosting options you will see we take an entirely new approach to “hosting”. With most companies, you’re simply paying to rent some space on a server for your website—dealing with the technical details is mostly left up to you. We think you ought to spend your time working on your business or nonprofit! Evermore offers significantly more value by taking care of all the details for you. Plus, our support goes way beyond cookie cutter technical answers: it’s our goal to empower you with your site! You won’t get a response asking you to learn how to code or go contact a developer. You’ll get the answer you need.
In case you think that added value means you sacrifice performance, never fear! We ensure your site is as performant as possible, matching—and often surpassing—results on hosts offered managed WordPress solutions.

Standard Budget Hosting | Managed WordPress Hosting | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Monthly Cost | $5-15 | $25-50 | $50-75 | |
Transparent pricing | Many budget hosting companies offer unsustainable promotional pricing, but then nickel-and-dime you once you've done the hard work of moving your website—or else they skimp on support when you need it most. Evermore pricing is simple, with no hidden fees. | |||
Hosting | Site performance on Evermore is comparable to (and often outperforms) managed WordPress hosts like WP Engine. Our servers are perfectly tuned to your website, so your site stays up and stays fast—other hosts can't do this, because they have to accommodate whatever code their customers want to run on their server. Loading speed on any device is incredibly important for your users and for SEO. Not only does our tuning result in your website being as fast as it can be, we also give you best practices to keep that speed up for all your visitors. |
|||
Domains | You can keep your domain where it is, and we give you all the instructions you need to make any necessary changes. If you don't have a domain, we'll buy one on your behalf at no additional charge. | |||
| Evermore doesn't offer email because better services exist than we can offer. Instead, we focus on being the best website platform for you. You can keep your existing email service, or we recommend signing up for Google Apps (best) or Zoho (free). | ||||
WordPress Core Updates | The majority of WordPress sites aren't running the latest version, which can create serious security vulnerabilities and site issues. We keep WordPress updated for you automatically. | |||
Caching/CDN | Caching is a crucial component of any fast-loading WordPress website. Each Evermore site is configured out of the box with proper caching and CDN (content delivery network) settings. | |||
Security | We actively scan your website for security vulnerabilities and protect against hacking attempts (which happen more than you'd believe). We surpass other hosts in one key area, though: by not providing customer access to the server's files or databases, it's significantly more difficult for your site to be compromised. | |||
Hassle-free, Included Functionality | Evermore offers 100+ "plugins" for you to activate at your convenience. This saves you countless hours over researching and testing plugins to meet your needs. You won't need to pay for any license fees for premium plugins, either, because Evermore already has that covered! All the plugins have been vetted ahead of time for code quality and proper functionality, so you also don't have to waste time finding out a plugin doesn't work—or worse, finding out it has a security flaw. Finally, since Evermore supports everything on the platform, you don't have to search for the plugin author and hope they answer. Simply open a support ticket with us to get a fast answer. |
|||
Theme and Plugin Updates | Other hosts leave the updating of themes and plugins to you—which means you can end up exposing yourself to risk or missing new functionality. Evermore takes care of theme and plugin updates for you as well, creating a truly hassle-free website experience. | |||
Basic Site Support | Most hosting companies wait for you to come to them with problems (and often avoid your question even then), but we proactively monitor site uptime and security, repairing and improving behind the scenes so you can focus. Further, if you have a technical problem, we fix the problem instead of asking you to learn how to code or go ask for help in a forum somewhere. | |||
Expert WordPress Support | Often, a support team at a budget hosting company will only be somewhat familiar with WordPress, sending you on a fool's errand when you're trying to fix a problem. We only support WordPress, and have a team of experts ready to help you take advantage of the world's most popular content management system. Plus, we go a step further: ask us the best way to achieve the functionality you need, and we'll help you put the pieces together. | |||
Built-in StudioPress Themes (Powered by the Genesis Framework) | Not all themes are created equally. Evermore offers themes built on the Genesis Framework: the industry standard in WordPress themes. They're SEO-optimized, secure, and fast! | |||
Built-in Mobile Friendliness | With other hosts, it's up to you to ensure the theme you pick is mobile-friendly and is tested on countless devices—all of our designs have it built in! We'd rather you work on your business than CSS. | |||
Marketing Tool Integration Support | Connecting your forms to tools like MailChimp and Constant Contact can be overwhelming—we'll help you do everything you need to get set up and ready to gather email addresses for your emails! | |||
Content Support | Busy small business owners and nonprofit leaders often need their staff to update their website. If they get stuck, we're here to help! Plus, if you simply don't have the staff or time, we can update your site for you at an additional cost. | |||
Paid Training and Education Options | You can sign up for one-on-one or group training sessions specifically tailored to your website and business goals. | |||
Application Integration | Harness the power of automation! Instead of cobbling together plugins, we help you integrate with a tool called Zapier, which connects your website to hundreds of different applications!. | |||
Multisite | Easily create a network of sites using WordPress Multisite—a powerful tool that's often very complex to implement and manage on your own. It's perfect for anyone needing to manage users across multiple sites in a single location. | |||
Community of Recommended Agencies, Photographers, Videographers, and Copywriters | When you're growing your business or nonprofit, it's hard to know who to trust in a pinch. We have deep relationships through our partners and larger community, enabling us to recommend quality professionals to help you with your project. | |||
Loyalty Plan | Accrue Evermore loyalty points simply by being a customer. Redeem them for content updates to save you time! |
