eVerity’s Blog

History

eVerity was formed by James Hold on July 4, 2000. Originally named SmarttBiz, eVerity began by offering merchant services and web design services to both online-only and established brick-and-mortar companies. Shortly after opening, eVerity began offering web hosting and domain registration services as well.In February 2002, merchant services were phased out so that the web hosting division could be given priority. To this day, we have continually provided a top-rated product, as demonstrated by having one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry.

Inspiration

James Hold, eVerity’s President and Founder, began developing web sites in 1998 while attending University. At this time, the internet was relatively new, and many other developers were taking advantage of uneducated business owners, over-charging them hundreds, even thousands of dollars. In an effort to meet the demand for web development services at a FAIR price, James opened his own company. Honesty and integrity have always been first and foremost.In fact, that is the reason why “eVerity” was chosen for the name. The word verity means truth and honesty. “E”, of course, is for electronic commerce. Hence the name eVerity.

eVerity’s Business Philosophy

By competing honestly and fairly, eVerity has had to face self-imposed challenges that other web hosting providers have not had to deal with. Still, while more aggressive web hosts have come and gone, eVerity has grown steadily since its inception in 2000. eVerity currently operates with zero debt, healthy profit margins, and better stability than competitors. We boast better uptime too. (This isn’t just talk. Feel free to choose any third-party monitoring service, and monitor/compare our uptime/download speeds yourself. You’ll be impressed for sure.)

How is eVerity able to offer so much and still keep prices so competitive?

Simple. In addition to its physical infrastructure, a host’s biggest expense is providing customer support. The next biggest expense is marketing to gain new customers. Investing in the best servers, best data center, and best technology, actually reduces eVerity’s cost to provide support (fewer customers have problems), and makes it much easier to recruit new customers. With a stellar reputation for over 8 years, eVerity’s biggest success is in customer retention. It is almost unheard of for one of our customers to cancel their account to leave for another host (though they are free to do at any time).
