"Less hassle = more productivity! Performance increased while maintenance time decreased."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Without a doubt, the CDN was the factor to switch for us. It was only after that we realized how little maintenance was needed to keep the site running at peak performance. The ability to use a staging environment is very helpful. Migration of our sites was fast and efficient. Yes, there were a few pages where custom css had to be migrated separately but this is normal and should be expected no matter what platform you use. The great part of it was in how versatile the Kinsta platform was to both recognize and migrate with accuracy 99.9% of our sites overall with only a modicum of adjustments.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

After two months of our sites running on Kinsta, We still don't have any "dislikes" to list.

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

Performance was the key here. The CDN was a game-changer for us. The ability to run in an isolated environment to perform updates and changes that we can see running in a staged environment before pushing to production servers is a tremendous benefit. We no longer need to copy a site to another server, update it then bring it back to the production server each time. The staged environment allows this to be done smoothly and efficiently.

"Premium Pricing for First Class Service"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I have honestly spent quite a bit of time testing out different WordPress hosting providers. I am not a website developer, but as a Legal Investigator my website really is my shopfront and includes links to my client's online portal in addition to intake forms and other similar services. To put it bluntly, I really can't afford to have my website down or slow. I noticed Kinsta about 3 years ago and two features really stood out, the daily backups and assistance in the event the website gets hacked. It isn't until you sign up however that you see how much Kinsta have invested in customers service. Even the basic plan on a month-to-month agreement includes a premium website migration service which for me happend in 3 hours on a Friday night. In my early days, I struggled with finances and Kinsta were fantastic in keeping my website online whilst I negotiated a payment plan. In releation to the actual service itself, Kinsta don't provide cpanel or other generic platforms. The proprietary dashboard is simple and easy to use, allowing for manual backups, DNS changes, PHP updates and everything else you would need.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

There is one aspect of the Kinsta service that really is missing - email! I remember bringing this up with Kinsta a few years back and was told it was in the pipeline. I really dislike paying Google or MIcrosoft a monthyl fee for a professional email address and it would be great if Kinsta launched a secure or encrypted solution. The proprietary MyKinsta platform includes a very basic analytics tool and it would be great if they added a few extra features such as IP blocking and more reports.

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

I needed a fast and realiable web host that included assistance in the event it was hacked and regular backups in case the worse happened. Kinsta delivered.

"Best hosting service by far! And I've tried a lot of different ones!!"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Easy migration from previous supplier and really excellent online support. I run a Wordpress website and their integration, knowledge and support for all things Wordpress is an outstanding feature for me.Often in the past I've had issues and problems getting a response where I've had issues. With Kinsta it's instant response and several times they have gone above and beyond in their level of support.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I dislike nothing about them. There are no downsides.

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

Kinsta is providing a totally reliable hosting solution. The benefits of this are that I can get on with my business without having to worry about faults with the website being live, or loading issues. In the past with other companies all of these issues have proved to be stressful, and very time consuming. With Kinsta when I do have a question I can get online support in seconds, no matter what the question is. This provides me with real peace of mind because if there is an issues that needs to be sorted out, I can get it resolved very quickly.

"Speed, speed, speed"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Of all the hosting I have tried, Kinsta is without doubt the best for hosting wordpress, and its quick as hell. My load times for my own business website went from 8000 ms first time to byte, to 200ms....lightening fast, and with this, opens up far more creativity, I can use heavier plugins like sliders to create more animated sites.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Not much really, in fact, I'd say there is nothing I don't like, the customer service is impeccable, I have never had an unsatisfactory answer, ever, the wait time is very low, and the agents are always friendly.

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

I have problems with site builds now and again, or technical things like country blocking for security, or dns issues, the guys at Kinsta always help me get these things fixed. The main benefit I have realized, and this made me move a lot of my sites over to Kinsta, was the speed of the hosting, lightening fast, like ridiculously fast, it cut my first time to byte down by 80%, my sites, on Kinsta, now all load within 3-2 seconds, less than 1 when cached, just amazing!

The support is very good, I had a virus on the website and they deleted it and cleaned. I feel the website is very safe with many backups and many options to go back if i make any mistake.

I like everyhing, the price is the worst price, but since the quality is high i am happy to pay it.

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

"Kinsta-Great Hosting, Exceptional Service"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

It's really hard to pick one thing. The hosting is fast and comes with so many additional things that my previous hosting provider didn't provide. What I really like best is the service though. Any time I use the Kinsta chat, I get an answer to my question or problem almost immediately. Here are a few of the problems that I have had as an example. Is it safe to upgrade to php 8? Can I move my data center? I even made a very stupid mistake with my redirects and they quickly figured out the problem and the solution. I guess the service is what I like best.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

This might be a tough question. I really haven't come across anything that I dislike. I guess maybe sometimes the kinsta blog is a little more technical, I would like it better if they wrote more for someone without a technical background.

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

First Fast hosting, cutting edge updates. They are usually at the forefront of updates to php, etc.

"El mejor hosting específico para wordpress y el más efectivo"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

La facilidad de uso y la rapidez en el soporte. Evita mucho trabajo al disponer de dos entornos de producción. Además, tienen una herramienta que te permite desarrollar en local, pasar de un entorno a otro, etc. y es fantástica.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

El precio es elevado, aunque es un servicio por el que merece la pena pagar. Con respecto al soporte, deberían formar algo más a determinados operadores porque a veces, las soluciones que han aportado, han generado más problemas. No tengo más que buenas impresiones del servicio, por lo que no quiero añadir nada más.

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

La rapidez en la publicación y el entorno de staging facilitan mucho el proceso. Puedes desarrollar todo el proyecto en el entorno de staging y una vez revisado, pasarlo a producción en un solo clic. Además, tienen servicios como el de backup o limpieza de caché que te ofrecen mayor garantía.

"Great hosting and service"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Fast and resourceful live chat support Ease of set-up Admin interface Speed and ability to reliably accept high volume traffic

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

The price is a bit high. I'm happy with the amount of resources they provide for the price, but I would be really grateful if they include an extra WordPress installation or two.

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

We needed to host an e-learning site with a high number of users and Kinsta allows us to achieve this goal. It gives our site the required speed and uptime. The support staff is also helpful and quick to respond. The admin interface is clean and easy to use. The Kinsta DNS is also faster than our previous one, so that's a bonus.

"Wonderful service! The top is the customer care!"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I especially like very much two things with Kinsta: - customer service & their blog! Blog is awesome: Kinsta put much effort in blog posts, they are also translated in my language (italian). With excellent technical support (and it is technically deeping, they leave you with an answer and kindly guiding you through the troubleshooting) and their blog, I geowith a trusting bond with them. I trust Kinsta and that's what's matter to me. Tools in their panels are easy and usefuls to use.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I don't dislike anything on kinsta. Maybe what I don't like too much is the impossibility to use a domain and mail service from their panel (I'm forced to go with zoho mail). I don't like price plans very much, I have a medium shop and I have to pay 100 € every month. But it is not Kinsta's fault, value for money is very good with this server, trust me.

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

They helped me very kindly with query bottleneck. They were willing to assist me with site optimization and speed up. Now my website is quicker and I increased my sales with this.
