"An Outstanding Service With Outstanding Service!"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta's modern interface is super slick and easy to use, but their real crowning glory is their exceptional support which is never more than a minute away and always completely on point with resolving any issues or questions.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Kinsta is a little on the pricier side, but you pay for what you get!

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

Kinsta feels really solid and secure as a platform to run my business on, so I can focus on other, more important things and not have to worry about all the technical nitty-gritty.

"Kinsta - Excellent company for your hosting needs"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Every time I've interacted with Kinsta's customer service, they've been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

It's definitely more expensive than other companies, but it's worth it for the performance.

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

We had abysmal performance with our previous hosting provider, and our business suffered because of it. Transferring over to Kinsta instantly fixed all of our issues, and we've never had any problems since.

"Very satisfied with Kinsta"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

My WordPress website is now much faster, mostly thanks to the CDN feature. I also like a lot the support, super fast and competent.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I'm not convinced with their recent change of UI for the dashboard, the previous version was more clear in my opinion.

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

They solve (partly) my slow website issue. Which resulted in higher SEA rankings.

"The Way Web Hosting Should Be"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I switched from another well-known (and expensive) web hosting company to Kinsta. The transfer process was incredibly easy. Free migrations of my websites were included in the deal, and the Kinsta team communicated regularly during the process. The speed of my Kinsta hosting package is incredible. My Google Pagespeed scores are right were they should be, and my visitors get a lightning-fast website load.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Kinsta can be quite expensive for an entry-level webmaster. Packages go up in price based on the number of Wordpress installs and site traffic. I'd prefer that cheaper options were available, but as the adage goes: "you get what you pay for."

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

After playing with countless plugins and settings with my previous webhost, I still couldn't hit my targets for Google Pagespeed scores. Switching to Kinsta fixed that problem immediately, which in turn, leads to better SEO rankings for my primary website.

"Undoubtedly the best Wordpress hosting experience available"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

The client support is truly second-to-none. Kinsta staff go above and beyond every single time to ensure you're satisfied with their platform, even if that means troubleshooting issues outside of their scope.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I understand that Kinsta strives to provide top-tier value to every account, but some flexibility and scalability in terms of hardware would be appreciated in future.

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

The staging solution, particularly as it relates to their 'Premium Staging' offering is truly incredible. This feature alone is enough to recommend Kinst to everyone I know.

"Best hosting company!!!"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

All the extras like site migration, SSL certificate, website security that you have to pay extra for with any other web hosting company comes FREE with Kinsta. And the platform is so easy to use and understand unlike my previous web host. Super fast technical support whenever I need it too.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

No domain name registration or hosting provided. Would like to host my domains with your company as well because I love your company so much. Wish I could have everything hosted in one place (domain and website)

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

Made my website so much faster to load and browse which is increasing sales because customers are not getting stuck shopping my site. Decreased my monthly hosting costs which is helping me save money and net more profit. Kinsta is truly the best. I can't believe it took me so long to make a switch from my previous web hosting company.

"Your website will be speedy with Kinsta. A+ support."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta has been a godsend for my small business. The speed at which my website runs is miles ahead of any other service that I have used. The site has great customer support and the user interface is chock full of goodies, including analytics which shows me exactly how many visits my properties are getting. In addition, if there's a problem with your site, you'll get a notification almost immediately, and support will work with you to solve the problem.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Expect to pay more with Kinsta compared to other hosting sites. However, Kinsta is so far ahead of these "cheap" hosting solutions, that the cost is well worth it for anyone serious about their web-based business.

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

The main problem that Kinsta solved for me was speed. On my old hosting platform, my pages were slow to load and would sometimes crash. With Kinsta, loading speeds are lightning fast, and I've never experienced any downtime. Support has really helped me figure out what I need to do to keep my site up to date, and I love that it's so easy to make a backup copy of my site, so I can test new features. You really don't need to be that technical to use Kinsta, and that's a blessing.

"Kinsta"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I always struggled with speed using other web hosting services and creating a multiuser platform I had multiple server issues until changing to kinsta, and now we get complimented on how fast each page is to load :) I am a happy customer

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I don't dislike Kinsta I only find it a little frustrating learning a new platform that is different from cPanel, but in saying that change is always for the best :)

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

Kinsta is the best with customer service, and the team understands very well the needs of a customer and makes things a priority, unlike much other services and email support.

"El Mejor Hosting que he tenido nunca"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

El servicio de alojamiento web es complejo. He usado muchos en mi vida y con Kinsta es la primera vez que he sentido que puedo estar tranquilo. Mi web va más rápida que nunca y el servicio técnico, en Español, es el mejor que he visto nunca. Kinsta es un hosting premium que está muy por encima de todos los que he usado antes.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

No hay nada que me disguste, a veces pienso que ojalá fuera más barato pero luego pienso que si fuera más barato no podrían mantener esa calidad de servicio y atención al cliente

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

Tengo una membresía y antes de usar Kinsta mi web tenía muchos altibajos de rendimiento. Problemas que nunca era capaz de solucionar. Desde que uso kinsta todos esos problemas quedaron atrás.

"Been a Kinsta user for 2 years"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I have been developing websites for over 20 years and have had my share of hosting companies and my own dedicated servers. What I like best about Kinsta is their Support! Whenever I have an issue, they are right there to troubleshoot and solve the problem.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

The pricing is a little on the higher side compared to other Wordpress dedicated hosting.

"Great hosting - fast, reliable and with excellent support"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

It is easy to get knowledgeable support via chat. I've worked with many hosts over the years but find that Kinsta's reps are professional and work to find solutions without the hassle.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I can't really say there are any downsides to Kinsta. While the price may be higher than other hosts, you get what you pay for in terms of quality of hosting (speed, etc) and technical support.

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

Kinsta gives me worry-free WordPress hosting with live support to troubleshoot issues efficiently as they arise. My page speed scores have been higher since switching to Kinsta.

"Kinsta is my go-to for hosting"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Their tech support is the best by FAR - of any web hosting service I've used. Been doing this a while and have seen/tried it all.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

The only issue I've come across is the lack of backup options (for clients who desire to backup more frequently to the cloud). That and the disk space is a little light.

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

Ease of use and lightning fast servers. Their server configuration is the best I've seen for WordPress sites - by far. Their portal is easy to use and their tech support is top notch - again solving many issues with running 100+ sites.

"Speed and excellent support"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta provides excellent support. They are very responsive and were able to help me in a timely matter. The dashboard is intuitive and easy to use. You have quick access to your SFTP/SSH and can easily manage multiple sites. Also, it is great you can provide other users access to your account with specific roles.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

In the Starter and Pro plans you get only 2 PHP workers. It would be great if they can include 4 PHP workers in these entry plans as well. Also, in the Starter Plan, you are limited to a single site only.

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

Availability and website speed. Also, they provide Cloudflare integration and a free suite of local development tools called DevKinsta which integrates with your sites.

"I would recommend to anyone starting out"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I’ve tried a few services before but none as this one. I was immediately impressed by their customer service team who sorted out anything very technical that didn't make much sense to me, the speed of the platform and their dashboard.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I would say the price but considering that they are the best I've tried, they are certainly worth all the money.

"Great Service, Great Support."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

One of the greatest things about Kinsta is the support. There is always someone available to help you within a minute of a request. Always helpful and efficient.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

The only complaint I have with Kinsta is the staging environment never runs quite as quickly as the live site which can be slightly taxing on testing operations but this is not a big issue and the performance difference is minor.

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

Kinsta provides safe, reliable, quick and maintenance-free hosting for several of our websites.

"A great service!"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

The NRG website is built with Wordpress. Kinsta is a Wordpress hosting company, so we use Kinsta to run the website and manage the sites files/data. The main reason we suggest Kinsta is because from our experiences it's the fastest web server as it's cloud hosting so the servers are fast. It also uses Cloudfare domain integration which is a CDN so it offers faster loading times. The Kinsta support is also pretty good and they offer free migrations. Additionally, the hosting dashboard offers lots of available tools like backups & redirects.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Can be quite expensive for some clients, don't think you get many visitors per month for the cost. You should increase the amount of visitors for all the packages as they're quite expensive. Viewing your past conversations on Kinsta support is quite difficult, every conversation should have a subject so you can easily browse old conversations.

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

The main one is page speed and reliability. We were seeking a fast loading website for WordPress, Kinsta is the best we've found.

"The best hosting i've had for years"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

The best feature is the security from malware, I used to host on Hostgator and all my websites were infected, so when I changed to Kinsta all the issues went away.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Although Kinsta has great Google servers, but still my website scores during the speed test are low grades, and I've tried to ascertain the issue but I was still unable to fix the speed problem.

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

The main problem that I have is with website malware and redirect malware, and Kinsta has fixed that issue just by joining them, and my overall website speed increased and I've stopped facing issues afterward, and the 15 days website auto backup has saved me countless times from automatic plugin update issues.

"Kinsta was always a top notch managed WordPress hosting"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Without a doubt, the best thing Kinsta has to offer is their tech support. Those guys are always there, super fast, and ready to tackle any problem. I heard stories about this, which is why I switched from other hostings to Kinsta, and tech support was always something that kept me working with them. Besides that, their UI is super simplistic, and service is always top-notch.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Pricing plan is okay, but limitations to it could be a lot better. Their starter plan goes for one website, and they charge you the traffic over 25k users per month, and regardless of how much traffic you have, you still have 2 PHP workers. I think their competitors have better pricing plans. Service is great, but for the amount that I'm paying, I believe others would give me better features and options.

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

They are really good managed WordPress hosting, which means that the biggest benefit that I'm getting is them managing the backend of WordPress. I never had a single issue of my website crashing nor I ever needed to mess with caching plugins, as they have their own caching system. Amazing job they did with managing WordPress, as there are a lot of marketers out there who want to grow websites without having to think about managing WordPress, server, etc.

The ease and speed at which I can access the support though the dashboard messaging system. I'm usually on chat with someone within one minute.
