Would like a few more statistics on the data tracked.

"Gran servicio para alojamiento web, quizás un pelín caro"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

En mi casó despluiego kinsta para una página web normal, y me encanta el sistema de mantenimiento y actualización que tiene para wordpress. También cuenta con una extensa documentación sobre el uso y configuración. Ofrecen ayuda con migraciones y cualquier tipo de configuración, lo que puede suponer una gran ventaja si no estás familiarizado con los hostings

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

No tengo ninguna queja en cuanto a la gestión de su sitio web desde Kinsta, y menos viendo el gran soporte que ofrecen. La única pega que podría poner es el precio, si comparamos con los principales competidores puedes ahorrate unos euros al mes según las características que necesitemos.

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

Necesito hostear varias páginas web de distintos cliente y mis propias webs. No tengo todas con Kinsta pero si varias, la implementación es rápida y ante cualquier novedad que necesite integrar me ayudan rapidamente.

It is seamless. I needed a hosting service for my wordpress website and it was easy to setup and scales seamlessly. I get notified if there is actions to be taken, and otherwise barely look at it.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Nothing. A great infrastructure - reliable, and scalable.

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

Kinsta hosts websites in a scalable way. In my case a wordpress based platform for audiobooks.

Kinsta combines reliable performance with really great customer service. The former is important for me as a business owner; the latter is particularly important as a business owner and non-technical website manager.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

None that I can think of. Great service, great dashboard.

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

For us it's important to have fast and reliable website performance. So far I have been confident that this platform is giving me the best in terms of speed and stability that I can find.

"Awesome support, hosting tools and quality"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

The support quickly answers any problem. For us, they helped to debug WordPress performance issues by providing high-quality advice. They are very competent from a technical perspective and they're always here to help you.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Quite expensive and I would have loved a little bit more freedom such as installing Node.js or adding some custom PHP extensions by myself, but they're WordPress focused anyway. Too bad that you can't choose them for other kind of projects

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

Improving hosting quality (high stability, CDN, high performances, DNS, ...)

"Impressive Wordpress hosting with AMAZING support!"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

The support is just AMAZING and the activation of SSL certificates and CDN services has never been easier.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Not having an email hosting is huge obstacle and additional cost. I really don't like the restriction on such a low number of PHP threads. I have never seen such a low limit, feels almost like you are being forced to switch to a bigger monthly subscription.

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

Kinsta is very reliable and with such great support, even if something doesn't work as you wish, you get efficient help extremely fast in most cases.

"Reliable, straightforward Woocommerce hosting for"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Intuitive ui, upfront pricing. Super easy to figure out how to use crucial elements like backups and staging.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Worker limits. The basic hosting package is fast and high performing, but is limited when traffic is high due to the PHP worker limit. For an online store starting out, this is easy to overlook

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

Predatory pricing structures of other WordPress hosts. Easy CDN setup blows away competition as well.

"Great solution for quality web hosting"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

What I like best about Kinsta web hosting is the speed and stability of their servers. On certain projects the one-click staging environment is also quite helpful.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Although their chat support is very good, phone support would be appreciated. Kinsta will not support a plain php/mysql application that is not built on Wordpress.

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

Server speed issues. We have been able to improve site load time and SEO ranking due to faster server responses.

The pricing strategy is weird. The brackets are far apart and the surcharges are large.
