"Honest review for best hosting"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

In past I used quite few different hosting providers and recently one of my business needed very advanced online store. I've read about Kinsta but always seems bit pricey. When I switched to Kinsta I was in SHOCK how good it is. Firstly customer service is beyond amazing, they fix every issue in minutes. Second is speed - no matter how many plugins I've installed or how complicated site is, everything works super fast on Kinsta. Lastly price is super cheap when you see what they are offering. Don't look further, this is THE not Hosting.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

There is absolutely nothing that I dislike.

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

When I switched hosting speed improved 3 to 5 times. Customer service solved every problem I had in minutes. With fast speed I have more conversations and customer service doesn't waste my time like their competition.

"Super helpful for an overwhelmed small business owner"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I get great value out of the help articles. They explain to me what I need to know without being too advanced for me to understand, but also not condescending or silly.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I have not had any issues with Kinsta at all. I cannot write about a downside I did not experience! Again, we are a small business, I cannot speak to implementation on a larger company.

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

I needed something better than my previous host because I had outgrown it, yet I needed it to be simple enough that I can manage it despite my limited tech ability

"The Best Web Hosting"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

kinsta has a very clean panel, easy to understand, even for users with little experience. Never has my wordpress loaded so fast. the price is compatible with the service offered.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

The billing system is a bit confusing and could offer payments in other currencies. Paying in dollars, some countries have a lot of fees. This possibility would be incredible.

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

Website loading speed, improving google ranking. cache system, backup, wordpress already installed, server uptime. speed with php version change helps me a lot.

Very easy to use and navigate. Plug-in updates are a button away! Auto backups are available; thankfully, I haven't needed them so far.

Quite expensive when you compare it to other platforms. The price increase is for everyone; it doesn't matter if you are an old user.

Website performance has shown improvement.

"Excellent software backed by great customer service"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta is easy to use and totally focused on Wordpress performance. It's not as wide ranging a service as some in terms of flexibility but makes up for that in terms of great speed and reliability. Love the customer support, quick, responsive and helpful

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Only the lack of extra hosting features. Some competitiors at the same price are Wordpress and general hosting so you can spin up other installations as well as Wordpress. It's a fair trade-off though.

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

Just the speed and reliability. Makes it much safer to allow other teams to have their own installs and a bit more control with the robust daily back-ups. If someone else messes up I can have their site back working in a matter of minutes.

"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.

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.

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

"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.

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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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.
