A Zoner alternative without web hosting
Zoner offers hosting and tools for building the site yourself. Kotisivukamu gives you a finished site with no server worries.
Zoner is a Finnish hosting company known for its web hotels and website builder. A typical Zoner customer rents hosting and runs a WordPress site on it, or builds pages with the site builder.
The web hosting model means the site is your responsibility: installations, updates, backups and security are in your hands or bought separately. It suits a technical user who wants full control.
Kotisivukamu removes that whole layer. You need no hosting, WordPress or installations. The Kamu AI builds the site and we publish it, pre-compiled, to our fast delivery network. Updates, backups and certificates are automatic, and content changes are requested from Kamu in your own words.
Kotisivukamu vs. Zoner

|---|---|---|
| Who builds the site | The Kamu AI builds the site for you in about 30 minutes | You build it yourself with the site builder or install WordPress on hosting |

| Visitor limits | No visitor limits | Hosting plans have disk and resource limits |
| Visitor analyticsincluded in the price | Included and switched on from day one. Cookieless and privacy-respecting, so no consent banner is needed.

| Visibility in search engines and AI answersSEO and GEO | A static, semantic site with structured data (JSON-LD) written in, so search engines and AI answers can read it as it is. The dashboard tells you whether the site is listed, and we help with the business profile | Depends on your own build. On WordPress, SEO is handled by a plugin and AI visibility is left to you |

A server is no longer necessary
Traditional hosting builds the page on the server for every visitor. Kotisivukamu sites are compiled into finished files at publish time and cached close to your visitors. That is why the pages load instantly, handle traffic spikes, and have no visitor limits.
One price, everything included
In the web-hotel model the total is assembled from parts: the hotel, the domain, certificates and possibly a maintenance partner. Note too that promotional prices rise on renewal and that prices are quoted without VAT. With Kotisivukamu everything is in one price from €3.90/mo: building the site, hosting, SSL, visitor analytics and support. You can buy and manage the domain in the same place.
Analytics and AI visibility are part of it
Visitor analytics are included and running from the first day. They are cookieless: we set no tracking cookies and use no third-party trackers, so the site needs no consent banner and visitors have nothing to click away. You still see how many people came, where from and which pages hold their attention, in real time. In most other services analytics are bolted on with something like Google Analytics, and a cookie banner and consent management come with it.
The same goes for being found. The sites are static and semantic, and structured data (JSON-LD) is written in from the start, so Google and AI answers such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI overviews can make sense of the site without any plugins. This is what GEO, generative engine optimisation, amounts to, and it is largely the same work as good SEO: a fast page, a clear structure and machine-readable facts about the business. The dashboard shows whether the site is listed, and we help with the Google Business Profile too.
Which one suits you?
Zoner suits you if you want to run the server and the site yourself. A web hotel gives you the freedom to install anything, and if you know how to maintain it, that is a good arrangement.
Kotisivukamu suits you if you would rather not be anyone's server administrator. Updates, backups and certificates are handled for you, and the site does not go down because something was left unpatched.
Common questions
Do I still need a web hotel if I move to Kotisivukamu?
No. Hosting, certificates and backups are part of the service, so there is no separate web hotel to rent. You can transfer your domain to us or leave it where it is and point it at the new site.
Does the site need a cookie banner?
No. Kotisivukamu sites use no tracking cookies and no third-party trackers, so there is nothing to consent to and no banner to show. Visitor analytics are still included: traffic, sources and top pages in real time.
Will the site be found on Google and in AI search?
The sites are static and semantic, and structured data is written in from the start, so both search engines and AI answers can read the site as it is. The dashboard shows whether the site is indexed, and we help with the Google Business Profile too.
