"We switched over to Kinsta and solved our performance issues with our site danceforladies.com."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I like the whole user experience with Kinsta - the platform is easy to use and their support teams go above and beyond. I can litterally ask them anything and they'll point me to the right direction. Mostly I like that our customers are able to access our site without any issues.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I'd like to be able to host 2 sites for the price of 1. I understand that you get what you pay for, it's just that I'd like to better understand how the price I'm paying breaks down.

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

Our site danceforladies.com was having difficulty loading properly so we switched - a lot of developers I know recommended Kinsta so I deceided to switch over.

"Kinsta is the best decision we ever made."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta provides extremely reliable service. We have had essentially no down time. I love how easy it is to restore our site from the back-ups, and actually had to use it once. The service is so prompt and friendly. Don't worry if you aren't strong with technology. Kinsta has your back.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

There really aren't any downsides. I would love to see Kinsta expand their available services to include running our Elementor updates. I know they would be great at it.

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

With our previous host, we had slow performance, down time, and little transparency. Every call seemed to escalate. With Kinsta, every person I have chatted with is clearly an expert and they are able to answer my questions and resolve issues immediately.

"Speed & Service"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

The support has been really great. Speed of my heavy website improved significantly. I also appreciate knowing what I'm actually getting instead of the gimmicky "unlimited" plans you get with cheap hosting providers.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

There isn't really anything I dislike. There's a very minor learning curve if you're used to cpanel but the kinsta dashboard is designed to make things easier. A bit of navigating is all it takes to figure everything out. Price might be an issue for some but you get what you get what you pay for. It might seem a bit higher to me because I'm Canadian and paying is US dollars but well worth it.

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

Speed and support.

"Top of my list for web hosting for my clients"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

The best thing about Kinsta is their awesome support. They are so much more knowledgeable than every other web host I've used, and as I've been making websites for clients since 2006, I've used a lot!

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

The missing ingredient for me as a web developer is the ability to create accounts for my client and then transfer ownership to them when I'm ready to launch a site. The clients struggle with setting up web hosting, and I'd love to be able to take care of this task, while also allowing my client to own and pay for their own hosting.

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

Kinsta is a reliable, trustworthy host. My sites almost never go down, they never get hacked, and they are reliable.

"Quick support through chat, easy to navigate interface, and backup system that just works."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I have had to contact Kinsta support about three times, and all three times, they were immediately responsive and solved my issue. Two of the times, I just needed to be pointed to the right FAQ Guide! I would also say that the interface is very straightforward to navigate, and the additional tools (like forced SSL and site monitoring) are a plus. Finally, the automatic and manual backups have been a godsend multiple times. It really helps to troubleshoot plugins, and once and administrative aid replaced all our site content with a blog post! Recovering the site was fixed within 10 minutes. I would definiately recommend.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I love the backup of the site, but it is called "staging," and I think that is a misleading name. The data doesn't sync between the live version and the staging, so any changes made on the live site while working on the staging are overwritten when the staging is pushed to the live version. This really slows down being able to do things like completely redesign the site while keeping up with blog posts, necesitating the use of other tools in the Live version. But since the backup (staging) function has saved us a few times, I can't complain too much.

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

Kinsta is solving the issue of straight-forward Wordpress Hosting. We previously hosted on Google Cloud, and while this was perhaps more cost effective, it inhibited myself as an "admin"-level user from quick-fixing many issues. The easy-to-use tools and immediate tech support really make using Kinsta as our hosting service a more practical option for our business and size of our team.

"Great hosting for a small business"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta has been a great all-in one web host for our small business. Their real-time customer support has been excellent and responsive whenever we have questions.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

You pay a slight premium for Kinsta over other web hosts, but I think it's absolutely worth the money.

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

Kinsta is providing Wordpress hosting services, CDN, daily back-ups, and a staging environment.

"2 Years with Kinsta and now I sleep better at night."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Its that everything just works as its meant to, the support & infrastructure is first class and the tools and backend at your disposal is just the icing on the cake.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Would like a little more storage available on each plan, but that's just a minor inconvenience and you can always pay for a storage upgrade.

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

For over a decade we had self managed hosting and i would be awoken by downtime and constantly working to polish underperforming tech, Kinsta for the last two years has provided me with peace of mind and we have had zero downtime and have been able to scale effectively and affordably.
