"Refreshed opinion on Wordpress"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Prior to discovering Kinsta my opinion of Wordpress was that it was sub-optimal in terms of performance. Now, while technically, that is still true, Kinsta have demonstrated an incredible series of innovations that work around these issues and allow us to get on with business.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Not a huge amount to say here as I have been astonished on all fronts.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Initially, we were looking for a solution that was more cost-effective than running a dedicated AWS instance, which most of the time was sitting underutilised but at time of need wouldn't scale to the level we needed. In the end, we got guidance and expertise not seen before, for if you've ever rented infrastructure you'll find the ball gets dropped as soon as the application comes into focus. Kinsta were able to take us to the next level here as that's what they do I guess.

"KINSTA REVIEW"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

The speed is very good. Even though there are other great features too, the best thing i like about kinsta is its speed. It offers faster page load times along with back-end speed.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Kinsta doesn’t offer email hosting. Although them not offering email hosting has advantages too, but in our company, it would have been better if they did.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kinsta is a wonderful option for developers. If you need a platform to build your own website, a test server to test drive themes and plugins, or a place to build professional sites for clients. Kinsta dashboard has companies feature that lets you organize your sites into separate dashboards. This lets you create a different dashboard for each client you work with. This is the main reason we bough Kinsta in the first place and we are happy to have it in our environment.

"Awesome hosting"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Customer service is like a your own employee for the time you need them. Speed of Website through their architecture is blazingly fast.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Nothing I really dislike. Their open for feedback and develop their service step by step. So, having CNAME for CDN would be an improvement (which is on their to-do-list). German interface would also be a nice to have.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Super fast hosting that helps improving rankings via google. (Nearly) always online website.

"Kinsta's services and support are AWESOME!"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

My site is blazingly fast and all my technical issues were resolved in a matter of minutes during support chat. I came from old and cheap shared hosting but Kinsta setup was a breeze. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect Wordpress hosting.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I think they updated their frontend recently so a few of the tutorial guides use old graphics. Would love to see them updated.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm hosting my own personal blog.

"Instant 37% reduction in my page loading time! No caching plugins!"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

After a smooth migration, I moved my website to Kinsta and instantly, I got a 37% reduction in my page loading time without a single caching plugin.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Until now, absolutely nothing. Everything looks perfect.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

A fast loading website is a must. And in 2018 I'm targeting more visitors with different languages. Kinsta seemed to be a perfect candidate and as I thought, it met my requirements and the website is freaking fast.

"Fantastic Hosting Provider"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta's support is the very best hosting support I have ever used hands down. They will help with things that hosting support nearly never is willing to help with. They have helped us develop scripts, fix websites, and even teach us how to use Wordpress CLI. They offer fantastic features such as Premium DNS, free CDN, daily backups, and more. They also will take all their users suggestions seriously, they have added items to the backend dashboard for us multiple times, which you would never typically get with bigger hosting companies.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

My biggest beaf with Kista, is that it can get very expensive quickly. For a single site it is on even playing ground with other premium wordpress hosting companies like wpengine, but once you get up to the more expensive plans with more sites, you definitely don't get your bang for your buck like some other hosting companies.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Kinsta we are now hosting some of our most premium websites. We solved the problem of slow websites with a hosting company that boasts of incredibly fast response times. After switching some of our websites to their hosting plan we found many other benefits that include, better support, way more wordpress caching then most hosting companies offer. They also offer way more options and systems then most companies provide. They give SSH access, Wordpress CLI is installed on the servers, they automatically scale websites for higher traffic and volume of users on the site. They also help with DNS hosting, and url redirects. They also give options to quickly change php versions, clear cache, install new relic system analytics and more.

"Best step taken to move to Kinsta"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

everything. Speed, interface, the communication. I love how fast and easy Kinsta made the migration. I had some question in the begging, they help me with every step.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

That we cant have automatic offline updates of the website. I need to request one so they can put it via ftp in our directory.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

We saved our business because of the Kinsta speed. We realised how other sites that dont run on Kinsta, are so slow. We are so fast that we still cant imagine how quickly is to work on this platform.

"Kinsta is an awesome platform as a webhost and for your wordpress websites."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I love the fantastic customer support. Kinsta has representatives ready to answer your questions and concerns 24/7. I also love the ease of use of the dashboard - everything is laid out and easy to understand. I also love how fast they respond to questions, I usually get a response within 10 minutes or less. Top notch all the way around. They even helped me find a Wordpress developer to help with an issue I was having.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Nothing to dislike - the service is outstanding. I honestly have no complaints and no regrets, its been an amazing experience.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had all sorts of resource issues before switching to Kinsta. Since the switch, those resource issues and crashes on our site went away. We also noticed a "pep" in our website's step. We are also in the process of setting up the free SSL and the and the seamless integration with CDN.

"Pricey but Fantastic Hosting with Personalized Assistance"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Customer service has gone out of their way every single time to solve my problems. I have very basic understanding of web hosting and site building, and they have helped me with things I'm sure many companies would just say "good luck with that" to. User interface on the site is very clean and clear. Hosting from a technical standpoint seems very solid (but this is not my expertise area).

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Analytics seem a bit limited. It's pricey, but worth it if you're serious about your site.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Security and site stability was my main concern. I wanted to make sure I choose a platform now that allows the growth I'm looking for in the future as I build and expand my webstore and other features.

"Kinsta, finally a solution to Wordpress and Woocommerce hosting that actually works"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

- UI is fantastic - Migration was a breeze - DevKinsta is great (much better than Flywheel Local and runs with docker desktop under the hood that means it runs well on windows) - Tools such as restart PHP workers and global search and replace really useful - Able to set up a robust dev workflow from local dev to staging to production - Ability to use subdomains for staging envrionment (which other hosting doesn't allow) - Free staging and ability to upgrade staging on demand - Specific infra for Woocommerce that can easily scale - Excellent performance for the price - Excellent service when contacted and one point of contact (unlike other hosting) - Easy to integrate with databases/SFTP - Excellent documentation

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

- Only 5 manual backups which is a bit tight sometimes - Restrictions on backup plugins is well documented but a bit excessive - One major bug in DevKinsta regarding the find and replace process when pushing from local to staging (incorrect URLs which requires some manual rework and no ETA provided at time of writing) - Only 2 PHP workers on pro plan, which is light compared to other hosting but is on better infra and to be fair performance is as good if not better so hard to compare like with like

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Enables a full development environment for my new ecomm and blogging platform - Enables a robust development workflow - Ensure my sites are always backed up and easy to restore - Allows me to optimise performance for Woocommerce - Should allow me to easily scale in future when i grow - DevKinsta is excellent and allows me to develop fast locally and push to staging with one button

"Environmentally friendly hosting."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I like kinsta application hosting which makes your website more secure faster than other host. Don't get billed for internal traffic/bandwidth like other hosts. You have complete control of how you build and run your app. It is simple, transparent and predictable. Performs better with internal connections

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

It may not be suitable for users with small or low-traffic websites. Kinsta's plans are usually priced higher when compared to other hosting providers. Additionally, Kinsta offers limited customization options and control over server settings, which may not be suitable for users who require more flexibility and control.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides high-performance and scalable hosting solutions. The company provides advanced technology and infrastructure to ensure fast page load times and uptime guarantee for its users. Kinsta is on call 24/7 to help users resolve any issues and optimize their websites for performance. 7 Provides expert support and proactive monitoring.

"Excellent quality plus superb customer service"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

The quality of Kinsta hosting is excellent. Everything just works well, and I feel that I'm getting a lot of value for money. Their technology is cutting edge and lots of features included. Another huge advantage is their customer service. This was critical to met as I never set up a website before. Their support is available via chat with quick response time. They helped me numerous times to set up things and resolve issues.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Kinsta is a relatively expensive service and pricier than most other hosts. Their basic plan allows for limited traffic before you need to upgrade. Also, they provide free security via cloudFlare which is nice, but you can't use other services if you want (i.e. Sucuri)

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

I need to host a news blog that can be dynamic with some inconsistent traffic patterns and major peaks. I looked for a host that is very fast, reliable, and can deal with changing traffic well. I also wanted good security. Kinsta delivers a very solid service on all these fronts.
