Everything! The customer service has been incredible so far. The documentation is also incredible. Every time I need a simple question answered, I just do a quick search on their blog and I always find it.
I really can't think of anything I dislike.
I no longer have to worry up website downtime or slow speeds. Also, getting something taken care of is super easy because their customer service is so great. I really don't worry about hosting at all anymore.

Very manual labour when it comes to adding photos for each product.
Well, we're solving being website-less with Kinsta. Also, the hosting platform doesn’t fall into any of the traditional hosting categories. Our entire infrastructure is built on the Google Cloud Platform and is very different from traditional shared, VPS, or dedicated infrastructure. Furthermore, we make GCP’s compute-optimized C2 machines (Google’s fastest servers) and premium tier network available for all our customers at no additional charge.
Performance of websites and their awesome support. Backups and security taken care of is truly a life saver. The team has been helpful when there have been issues which was due to a issue with a plugin conflict.
Nothing to say here, the experience has been very good.
Website load times and performance issues have been sorted out with Kinsta, resulting in more time for more productive activities. Our customer is also quite satisfied with the service levels. Its a win-win for us. We have worked with different service providers but the experience has not been very great. Since Kinsta is a Wordpress specialised hosting provider it makes a lot of difference. Security which is a huge concern is addressed at Kinsta, which is a welcome relief. Backups are another key area which is also taken care ensuring peace of mind. All this put together provides a balanced solution and helps us focus on customer requirements rather than on the routine activities to keep the site running safely. We look forward to continue working with Kinsta for our future requirements as well. We hope the team at Kinsta continues to innovate and keep up the good work they have been doing. Kudos to the entire team and Management.
The customer service and live chat are great, also the dashboard manager is really helpful. They make daily backup and allow you 5 manual backups, that are really helpful. I also love the staging enviroment to implement new features in the website.
Until now everything works perfect, no dislike anything.
I use formidable forms as one of the main plugins in my website to make calculations, with kinsta my forms increase the velocity and works perfect.
The balance of performance with easy to use tools. You don't need to know how to run a server to operate on Kinsta and it's also optimized very well for WordPress performance. Even on other big name managed WP hosting companies I've had issues with website speed due to other sites hosted on the same server, I've never once had an issue with Kinsta. Moving clients sites over to Kinsta generally sees drastic increases in page performance. If I have a question, Kinsta support is also there to help, super knowledgeable and friendly. I love it, my clients love it, what else could you need in a hosting company?
I wish they had the capability to create monthly reports. It would really help to be able to print out the performance/usage/uptime/etc. data for each site on a per month basis. Hopefully they can build in some features to help developers that offer hosting/maintenance as a service!
It's nice that I can create multiple users under my main account, so I can take care of hosting and all that comes with it for my clients vs. having them sign up for everything individually. I can add value to my own business, while also adding value to my clients.
Kinsta's presentation and fluidity is amazing, the service is always ready and it is the fastest in which I have worked.
In normal hostings we are used to using CPanel, that is something that is so easy to use but in Kinst that isn't exit. It is also a bit slow to create and manage subdomains.
I had been looking for a server where to work my website and projects, I always had problems with the speed and response time to my requirements. I never thought of finding an excellent quality service, which is always working and responds quickly. Kinsta has helped me a lot in my work, I am not worried about checking the server and if I have a problem that I cannot solve, the agents help me very quickly.
Clean and easy setup, amazing support team.
Due to the way how things are structured on Kinsta, you may have to sometimes check if plugins are compatible.
I host my ecommerce website on Kinsta and their backups are something that keeps me safe all the time.
The overall performance of our website increased by 34% which allows us to again 107.31% more organic visitors in last 4 months. Let me make it short in points: 1. Speed and Cache 2. Support 3. DNS 4. Staging Environment 5. CDN 6. Knowledge Base and Blog Post for WordPress Optimization
For the price point, I guess Kinsta can afford to offer Verizon ROUTE DNS and Google CDN or StackPath. Since most of the visitors on our website are from North America, I personally prefer CDN service from Google, Akamai, or Verizon Edgecast. Yes, we know service providers like Akamai and Verizon are not cheap for an individual, but Kinsta can make it happen. KeyCDN is a good solution, but for the last few months, we have noticed significant performance drops on our websites with KeyCDN. Also, if you like to continue offering KeyCDN, at least allow us to have free CNAME and SSL. As for DNS Amazon Route 53 is excellent, but services like Verizon, NS1, and DNSMadeEasy might be a better option. Lastly PHP Workers, this needs to be increased or allow us to buy it as an addon.
Website management; Kinsta saves a lot of time and make it easy to maintain everything in one place.
First-class WordPress hosting support Fantastic support Very good price and value for money CDN and all the cool features
I love everything about Kinsta. Got nothing to negative to say.
WordPress hosting. Especially fast websites with great performance.
Kinsta totally changed the way i see web hosting. I was using different services and it was just a pain in the neck. Then, in 2019, i switched to kinsta... and it has been just perfect since then. Two years: never offline (even for a second), never had problems. And the performance just took my website to another level. I ranked on Google in the first two months and people started interacting more on my website. The DNS management is simply UNIQUE and the CDN... AMAZING. Usually i never review, but i had to do this. I love you Kinsta <3
The limitation regarding having a single SSL to install on a starter plan (i would like to have multiple ssl for a single site). In my specific case, i just wanted to add a subdomain Let's encrypt ssl in addition to my custom EV SSL on the main domain. So i find not so good that i'd have to pay for a whole new website. Hoping to see this feature as an add-on i future. Regards.
Rapid DNS management, fast-delivery for users thanks to your CDN and... i love the fact that i just forgot how to use cPanel... i love how you've made the management so easy and integrated with all the kinsta's universe.
Very helpful support staff and everything can be managed within the dashboard and easy to use UX.
Pricing for Plan 2 and only 2 PHP limit offered despite the steep price. An alternative would be to have a flexible PHP limit as an addon.

The previous platform I was using had some issues with caching - my programmer recommended Kinsta, and everything has been working great since!
That this question won't let me answer properly.
Kinsta resolved a caching issue which occurred on my previous platform.
So the onboarding process was simple and hands off. They transferred my site, without any issue and had it up and running within a week. The ongoing hosting is simple, efficient and hands off. I've contacted them via chat on 2 occasions for help, once with the dreaded white Wordpress screen and another time because I needed to fix my speed issues. Both times I received a level of support that far surpassed what I am paying them for.
There's cheaper hosting. But, I'm a fan and have absolutely zero reason to shop around. They're great.
They've increased my site speed and brought my down time to basically zero.
I never worry about downtime and support has been great.
Price is higher than the competition, but you get what you pay for.
I rely on Kinsta to support our website, which to us, is our entire digital real estate - Without it, we don't have leads, which means we are out of business.
Tech support is the best I have found. They have both the required expertise and the patience to resolve all issue.
The cost for a reverse proxy is too high for smaller accounts to be able to utilize it.
I use Kinsta to provide both high performance and to cut down on third party maintenance costs.
I was absolutely impressed with the technical support provided! Any question/doubt was solved within literally minutes without any "back-and-forth". Great job!
Nothing at all - Kinsta is simply brilliant!
We were increasing the speed and stability of our web-site.
All that previously needed to be connected with additional plugins and services, Kinsta offers by default! Excellent caching system and CDN which make the site very fast. The staging system is great too.
The price is high. But if you connect third-party services to speed up the work of the site, the same amount will most likely come out.
The site on Kinsta is fast. Thanks to this, he has high positions in search engines.
Speed, ease of use of control panel, security features.
I don't dislike anything about Kinsta hosting.
i'm solving the problem of slow page speed loading and staging website builds.
Speed of servers, good enough analytics, CDN.
Nothing, this is a perfect hosting service.
Use kinsta for my personal website. Benefits is the one-click WordPress installation and getting automated notifications for updates of it. This keeps me on the safe side against hackers.
Where Kinsta shines is support. I have worked with a lot of hosts and Kinsta is by far the best in being responsive and handling issues via their support chat.
Nothing. Everything is great. I cant think of a thing.
Dont have to worry about web hosting. Just something I dont have to be overly concerned about which is great because the sign to a good web host is forgetting they exist because the service is working so well.
