"Great WordPress hosting on the Google Cloud network. Priced a little higher than others."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Reliability of the Google Cloud network. The Kinsta interface is nice... easy to navigate your sites, make backups, etc. The best feature would have to be the backups and staging environment. I don't have to worry when I break something - I can stage it first or pull a backup.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Nothing yet really. The price is a little higher than other WP hosts.

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

I haven't had many issues. Needed a few changes in the Nginx file and they answered live chat in minutes.

"The best customer service you could ask for."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

How the team are responsive to any query you have. The technical support is the best I've ever had and you don't have to wait - it's pretty much instantaneous.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I wish there was a micro plan for starters that really aren't sure about how much traffic they will get

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

The ability to set up an optimised website in a matter of minutes. The Kinsta tech team are so good you don't feel like you need expensive tech support especially if you're a newcomer to websites

"Fast Server with Great Customer Support"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta has a very nice UI, the speeds are very fast, and their customer service is excellent. It has very much been a white glove service, from initial transfer to helping us solve problems.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Because they optimize for speed, there are blacklisted apps and a few other things that aren't available. Overall, it's probably a good thing though since they remove these things for speed issues

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

Our previous host was slow, so we moved to Kinsta and the site speeds are noticeably faster. We have been very happy with the transition.

"Best hosting I've ever seen"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Like most webmarketers I'm used to depending on developers for backups and staging environments. I like how easy Kinsta makes things for us non-developers who work on websites.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I wish backups lasted for more than 30 days.

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

Creating new pages and sections on websites is great when you can just push a button and create yourself a stage site. I can also restore backups myself whenever I need to. If there's an emergency, I don't need to frantically call a developer.

"Reviewing site speed, migrating between wordpress instances, testing on staging sites"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Their chat support are fast, friendly, and knowledgeable The interface is clean and easy to navigate Fast speeds for certain sized companies and amount of web traffic

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I can imagine for a larger companies and faster host in necessary It would be great if invoices could be mailed directly to our accounts team (I have to log on and send it over to them myself) - only a small gripe

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

For our site - which offers a lot of content and blog posts for our customers and therefore can get a lot of traffice for a company of our size - it offers a particularly fast service

"Kinsta is very good hosting"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I like how they respond nearly immediately to my chat requests when I have a problem. The dashboard is also very easy to use.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Right now the price is great, but I am a little worried about the costs as my business grows.

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

Easy to update my WordPress site in the staging area and then when I'm happy, push it to live. I love how easy Kinsta makes it for me to do all this.

"Stellar Wordpress Hosting"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

The performance and reliability from Kinsta Wordpress Hosting are top-shelf. The 'My Kinsta' portal delivers powerful, easy site management and the ability to quickly add server-side 301 redirects being invaluable. Having used many competitors, Kinsta's first-rate customer support and hosting package is unbeatable.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

The price is more expensive than some others. But, in hosting like so many areas of life, you get what you pay for.

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

Get reliable, high-performance Wordpress hosting to minimize downtime and support issues.

Usability, commitment, sitespeed and up-to-date technology

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Nothing in particular. Support in Dutch would be welcome.

Our new Wordpress website was too slow at a traditional hoster. Now with Kinsta we have a swift and trouble free user experience which will lead to higher conversions and greater customer satisfaction.

"AWESOME for any company that needs to up their game!"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I like that my website serves from Google Cloud Platform. I also like that when I make design changes I can do it on a staging environment. When I'm done I can push them live. This is how programmers build applications so they don't mess up the live site. Normally a web developer or marketer has to make changes live because there is no staging environment.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I didn't like that I need to pay $60/mo for a multi-site. I know from experience that a multi-site is only one WordPress installation and one database. I don't see why I have to pay extra to get that feature. I almost went to another company because of that, but I got a friend to come with me to Kinsta and we're splitting the $60/mo. Now he can get multi-site.

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

I need my site to load FAST FAST FAST! The Google Cloud Platform is loading WAY faster than when my site was at Bluehost. Site load speed is a ranking factor. Kinsta uses KeyCDN, but I'll be using Cloudflare since I need my site to load from Latin American countries.

Would like a few more statistics on the data tracked.

" Kinsta will solve all the Wordpress problems that DevOps engineers should care"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta Cache works great. I don't need to worry about which cache plugins is best. Cloning environment for staging is best solution for Wordpress deploy management. Absolutely quick response from customer support.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I have a dozen sites and a few coworkers manage own sites. But coworkers can handle all sites. I want to control coworker privileges. Punycode domain(like japanese) has little problems.

Incredibly quick help when needed and they take care of problems! Support is definitely one fo the driving factors of staying with them!

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Not entirely confident on speed, I feel like some of their packages are lacking real necessary optimizations and ultimately force you to upgrade pHP workers to what a normal minimum would be

"A great platform for accelerating your WordPress sites"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Two things -- obviously faster WordPress sites was the reason I migrated over. But the backup features have been lifesavers whenever some plugin crashed the WP site. I could easily rollback as needed.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

This is not an inexpensive service for a small business. Ideally, Kinsta should support three sites on the plan. Also, lack of email support was challenging initially.

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

"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.

"Hosting on steroids"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Free WordPress migration service that you get with your hosting plan was the best part for me, as I truly wanted that to be outsourced and be managed seamlessly for me.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Kinsta is a good hosting service provided but is quite expensive, specially this is a big cost on your p&l if your site is still only making a revenue of $100. Also SSL doesn't auto renew. Some manuka intervention is required annually.

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

Better response time. I had two issues with my previous host, shared IP, hence IP keeps changing and that makes it non compatible with ezoic. Kinsta offers dedicated IP hence is ezoic compatible fully. Also core vitals have improved with kinsta
