📄 Editorial Review

KartHost is a Texas-based hosting, email and online business services company founded by Roy and Gail Randolph in June 2000. The business began in the kart-racing community, where the Randolphs maintained websites for racing clubs and tracks before consolidating those projects onto a leased Cobalt server through EV1, formerly Everyone's Internet. The company initially operated as The Kart Company and adopted the KartHost.com name in 2004.

KartHost LLC has since developed into a specialized provider focused primarily on WordPress Hosting, Managed WordPress Hosting, website-building packages, domain registration, business email, Hosted Exchange, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, email archiving and email security. The company is headquartered in Tomball, Texas and operates as a woman-owned business. Following the death of co-founder Roy Randolph in early 2025, Gail Randolph continued the company together with their son Joe Randolph and the existing technical team.

The current service model combines KartHost's customer support and account management with infrastructure and technology from established platforms such as Convesio, Rackspace, AppRiver/OpenText and Enom. This arrangement is particularly suitable for small businesses that prefer having websites, email and domains managed through one provider rather than administering individual infrastructure services themselves.

Standard WordPress Hosting costs $18.50 per month and runs on the Convesio container platform. The service includes Cloudflare DNS and CDN, Nginx or Apache, SSL certificates, direct database and SFTP access, daily and monthly backups, malware protection and a choice between U.S. and European server locations. Annual subscriptions can include free registration or transfer of a .com, .net or .org domain for the first year. WordPress migrations are generally included unless an installation is unusually complex.

Managed WordPress Hosting adds WordPress core updates, plugin updates, supported theme updates, malware scanning, monthly website reports and more active maintenance. Pricing starts at $25.99 month-to-month or the equivalent of $24.99 per month with annual payment. It retains the same Convesio-based infrastructure, Cloudflare integration and scalable container architecture.

The EZWP Membership package costs $32.97 per month and combines managed WordPress hosting with a customized WordPress installation, page-building tools, premium plugins, templates, marketing features and training resources. EZWP Landing Page costs $21 per month and is intended for promotions, events, products and other single-page websites, with more than 200 responsive templates available.

KartHost also has specialized WordPress solutions for restaurants, e-commerce and online courses. The restaurant platform includes online ordering, delivery and pickup management, scheduled ordering, tipping, table ordering and customer notifications. These services move well beyond basic hosting and are aimed at businesses that want a functional website environment without assembling all components separately.

For customers requiring continuous website assistance, the VIP WordPress Care Plan provides security scans, malware cleanup, WordPress maintenance and ongoing support for smaller website tasks. The service costs $156.75 per month per site for websites hosted with KartHost and $186.75 per month for externally hosted websites. Support tasks that can normally be completed within 30 minutes are included, with an eight-hour target for completion.

Email is one of KartHost's strongest service areas. KloudEmail Basic starts at $4.05 per month for the first mailbox and $3.45 for each additional mailbox. KloudEmail Suite, using Rackspace email infrastructure, starts at $5.15 for the first mailbox and $4.60 for additional accounts. It includes a 25 GB mailbox, 30 GB of online file storage, synchronization features and online productivity applications.

KartHost also continues to offer Hosted Exchange through AppRiver/Zix. Plans range from a 2 GB Exchange Lite mailbox starting at $4.55 per month to Full Exchange with unlimited mailbox storage at $15.55 per month. Annual billing reduces the effective monthly cost, and customers can choose between U.S. and Swiss hosting locations for Hosted Exchange.

The Microsoft range includes Microsoft 365 Exchange Email, Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium and Microsoft 365 Apps. Exchange Online Plan 1 begins at $9.99 per user per month with an annual commitment. Depending on the selected plan, Microsoft 365 can include Exchange, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and desktop or browser-based Office applications.

Google Workspace is available as another complete business productivity option. Business Starter begins at $7.85 per month with annual billing or $8.95 with monthly billing. Higher plans provide greater storage capacity, conferencing functionality, administrative controls and additional security features.

Additional services include Domain Registration and Transfers, Email Encryption, Email Archiving and Information Archiving. Zix-powered email encryption can automatically detect sensitive information and apply encryption, while archiving services are intended for companies that need longer-term retention, compliance or searchable historical communications.

The company operates in English and prices its products primarily in U.S. dollars. KartHost has also been integrating customers from Simple Online Solutions/SimpleURL, including KloudEmail accounts and domains transferred into KartHost's Customer Center and Enom-based domain environment.
