Web Hosting vs Managed WordPress Hosting is like comparing a Ford Taurus vs a Subaru Forester. They’re both good cars, except one is outdated and old and the other is built for the now with long-term robustness and reliability. They stopped manufacturing the Ford Taurus in 2008.  All the hosting options allow users to install and run a WordPress site if they wish, but the performance, maintenance and support they provide are not designed to accommodate WordPress-specific issues which degrade a user’s experience. Managed WordPress hosting in all its forms provides better website performance, which leads to faster loading websites, which leads to customers staying on your website longer.

While there are benefits to hosting on the cloud, it is important to know who has access to your information. As a Canadian web hosting provider, all our hosting servers, databases and offices are located in two provinces in Canada. This ensures that data stored in our servers are protected from foreign laws and programs that may attempt to gain access to information without our customers’ knowledge or consent.

Our web hosting plan includes a one-click installation for WordPress.

Absolutely. If you run a WordPress website on a standard web host at one of those all around low cost companies with for $5.99 or $10.99 per month, your website will hit a wall. After a few website pages, you won’t be able to handle loading more blogs, pages, graphics, and it’ll start to affect users visiting your website

Whether you want to run an e-commerce website or a large service based business with 5+ pages, you need a managed WordPress website. If you want to run a single landing page you can use a standard web host because it can provide more flexibility for customizing and extending the features of WordPress.

Unfortunately, Empathy Host is not an email hosting server. We are focused on our #1 thing – managed WordPress website hosting.

We recommend using Google Workspace (aka Google Gmail). We use it, and we stand by it. Once you sign-up for Empathy Host, our tech support team handling your set up or website migration can help you set up your personalized email account. We offer a 14-day trial and a 10% off code for 12-months from Google Workspace for any of their plans. 

On the flip side, we do offer a free website SMTP service that sends emails from [email protected]. This allows your website to send password email resets; send contact form submissions; send customers orders from the checkout cart; and send you website leads from your landing page submission forms.
