How is Von different from WordPress.com?

WordPress.com is just another web hosting provider that focuses on selling WordPress... that's it.

Unlike WordPress.com, Vondelphia is a no-strings attached WordPress WEB Hosting provider. As a result, you can have a website that isn’t loaded with bloat, trash code and other trackers. We will never farm your data. Vondelphia doesn’t cut backdoor deals with theme (or plugin) authors or even collect and store your data just to make a dollar. You will always have 100% full control over all your data. Pick your own theme, activate your favorite high-quality plugin and do whatever you want. Thanks to our multi-data center partnership deal with Von, we are faster and way more secure… equally stable. There is no piggy-back riding off the M$, Amazon or Google infrastructure. On top of that, Vondelphia is (practically) ad-free and will never use analytic server software, or promote our brand on your website. We have fair pricing, honest refund policy and only know how to deliver Made in USA quality results. We welcome creators, developers, bloggers and all sorts of other people to create their own WordPress website using the shared SSD WEB Hosting Vondelphia network.
Most people are ignorant of the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org. They couldn’t be more different. WordPress.com explains the differences in its own support guide.[1] WordPress.org is the free, open-source software (licensed under the GPLv2) that you install on your own hosting.[2]

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress web hosting from Vondelphia?

Control. Vondelphia is no-strings-attached WordPress web hosting, so you pick your own theme, run the plugins you like, and keep 100% full control over your data. WordPress.com is a different setup entirely, so read up on WordPress.com versus WordPress.org before you choose.

Does Vondelphia collect or sell my data?

No. Vondelphia will never farm your data and doesn't cut backdoor deals with theme or plugin authors. It doesn't collect and store your data just to make a dollar, and it won't run analytics server software or promote its brand on your website.

Can I install any theme or plugin on Vondelphia hosting?

Yes. Pick your own theme, activate your favorite high-quality plugin, and do whatever you want with your site. Nobody is steering you toward a partner's product, because there are no backdoor deals with theme or plugin authors. It's your WordPress install.

Is Vondelphia hosting built on Amazon or Google?

No. There's no piggy-back riding off Microsoft, Amazon, or Google infrastructure. Vondelphia runs on a multi-data center partnership instead, which makes it faster and more secure while staying just as stable. Your site lives on shared SSD web hosting, not a giant's cloud.

Can Von move my site off WordPress.com?

Yes, and the move is free. Website moves always are, and every quote is free too. Call or text (720) 722-3227 and a real person answers, whether you're in South Jersey, Philadelphia, Venice, FL, Colorado Springs, or somewhere else entirely.
