"Kinsta has been AWESOME!"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

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.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I really can't think of anything I dislike.

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

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.

"Kinsta has proved to be functional"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Free hack fixes. If a client’s WordPress website is hacked we’ll fix it with immediate priority. Server-level rules and optimizations for WooCommerce and Easy Digital Download sites to ensure a smoother checkout experience for customers. A custom-designed dashboard with lots of data that helps you improve further your site.You can launch a free live demo version of a MyKinsta dashboard here.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Very manual labour when it comes to adding photos for each product.

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

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.

"Experience with Kinsta"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

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.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Nothing to say here, the experience has been very good.

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

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.

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

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.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Until now everything works perfect, no dislike anything.

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

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.

"Great Platform & Support"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

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?

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

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!

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

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.

"Excellent service and support"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta's presentation and fluidity is amazing, the service is always ready and it is the fastest in which I have worked.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

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.

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

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.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Due to the way how things are structured on Kinsta, you may have to sometimes check if plugins are compatible.

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

I host my ecommerce website on Kinsta and their backups are something that keeps me safe all the time.

"An affordable Managed WordPress Solution"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

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

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

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.

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

Website management; Kinsta saves a lot of time and make it easy to maintain everything in one place.

"The web-hosting perfection"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

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

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

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.

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

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.

"Close to Perfection, Seamless Services :-)"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

Very helpful support staff and everything can be managed within the dashboard and easy to use UX.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

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.

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

"Easy. Hands Off."
What do you like best about Kinsta?

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.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

There's cheaper hosting. But, I'm a fan and have absolutely zero reason to shop around. They're great.

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

They've increased my site speed and brought my down time to basically zero.

"Reliable and secure hosting"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

I never worry about downtime and support has been great.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Price is higher than the competition, but you get what you pay for.

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

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.

The cost for a reverse proxy is too high for smaller accounts to be able to utilize it.

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

I use Kinsta to provide both high performance and to cut down on third party maintenance costs.

"The best all-in-one hosting for Wordpress"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

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.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

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.

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

The site on Kinsta is fast. Thanks to this, he has high positions in search engines.

"Kinsta: The Best Host Ever"
What do you like best about Kinsta?

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.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Nothing. Everything is great. I cant think of a thing.

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

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.
