What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta's platform is extremely well thought out. We moved to Kinsta after 15+ years with Rackspace.

Some people seem to think it's "expensive", but honestly the peace of mind and how much time I save not worrying about "hosting" makes it a bargain overall. PHP updates, SSL certs - all handled automatically. Frankly, it just works.

never worry about speed, uptime or other things that used to cause me grief. It's a good service and when I've needed some help, it was quick and easy to get.

Migration was an initial concern as we had some rather out of date versions of Wordpress on some sites, but Kinsta's support made quick work of it. I didn't expect it to be that easy, or I would have switched a long time ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I actually don't have any complaints about Kinsta. When we first signed up, the packages they had required you to jump tiers in order to add an extra site, but even that has been addressed in the past few month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

WordPress Hosting / Managed Hosting + MySQL database hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

We use Kinsta web hosting for our college's WordPress sites, which includes a multisite network of about 50 sites/blogs, plus a few other microsites. Kinsta's support team helped us migrate all of our WordPress sites from another web host to theirs, which was a smooth painless process.

Hosting and performance have been very reliable. Support is great. The backend interface is simple and easy to manage. I like that I get an email if there's ever a coding error or incompatible script or plugin. I also like the option to host a static site with the current WordPress plan.

I'm very happy with the service and support. The pricing is reasonable also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Nothing really. (I could mention that there's no phone support, but all of my tech support issues have been promptly addressed through the live chat, so this hasn't been an issue.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Kinsta hosting helps me host and manage many WordPress sites and 2 multisite networks. Makes it easy to manage. Hosting is reliable. And support is very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta provides fast and reliable hosting, and their support team is top-notch; they’re always quick to help and can assist with almost anything. The dashboard is simple and well-designed, making site management easy even if you’re not a developer. Performance is excellent, and I appreciate the security features and daily backups that give me peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

The biggest downside for me is the price. As someone running a small business website, I feel like I’m paying for high-end resources that I’ll never fully use. It’s a great service, but for smaller sites, it can feel like overkill. If you want top performance and support, though, it’s hard to beat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Kinsta provides a reliable and high-performance hosting solution for my business website. As a small business owner with technical skills, I can manage my own site, but I don’t want to deal with server maintenance, security, or performance optimizations myself.

Kinsta eliminates those headaches by offering top-tier support and automated backups, so I don’t have to worry about downtime or security risks. Their infrastructure also ensures my site runs fast and smoothly, which is important for a professional image and good user experience.

While it is more expensive than standard hosting, the peace of mind and performance make it a strong choice for a business that values uptime and reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta may be a technical platform but it is about the people. The team is friendly, helpful, knowledgable, and that gives me a lot of confidence (for a non technical person). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I've had no downsides although i would love for them to recommend someone who is as knowledgable as the team to assist me with website issues that aren't related to the server, like a best in class list of developers who they may know (disclaimers attached, of course). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It gives me confidence to run my site well. I have an ecommerce site Little French Heart which at times has huge spikes in users. I need a reliable server host and a team of experts to assist me in running it. I have no technical skill, I'm a journalist and storyteller by trade, and so i need Kinsta to assist in ensuring the site is always running optimally. I'm also a single mum and breadwinner, so ultimately, Kinsta is not a technical platform to me but an important artery or connection for me to earn a living. I can't really describe how important this is to me, to trust the team and know they've got my back, it's everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

I've been using Kinsta since 2018 and it's been a great journey. First and foremost the quick support I get from them is awesome. Anytime I need anything, they were available there to help me out.

With MyKinsta everything is made easy, from clearing cache to modify domains, PHP version, etc.

I can check daily a lot of analysis report to see how everything is going too.

And the performance: oooooohhhh gosh! It's super fast!! Now with Cloudflare CDN and Edge Caching and Google Cloud Platform, the performance is unbeatable.

Now I'm starting using their Application Hosting and Database Hosting and I'm impressed as well. With Github integrations, it's easy to implement CD/CI pipelines, really quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

The price would be a negative point if you just look at the amount you will spend monthly, but when you put it into practice, the price is actually not expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Kinsta support is something unbelieble great and makes my life easier taking care of ordinary things while you can focus on your product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

The best thing about Kinsta is their support. I've contacted them a few times over the years to resolve issues and they've always gotten back to me immediately and resolved issues promptly. Their customer support people seem to be very tech-savvy and knowledgeable. I also find the interface easy to use, can find what I'm looking for with just a few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Their pricing is probably competitive but it does sting a bit every year when my hosting bill comes in. I recently downgraded my plan after my site lost traffic and I didn't need so much visitor allowance. I didn't expect Kinsta to credit me the amount outstanding on my old plan but they did, so that was nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I like that I don't really have to think about my hosting with Kinsta. If anything goes wrong, their support usually solves it quickly or points me in the right direction immediately. Other hosting companies I've used required more of my time to troubleshoot and resolve issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kinsta Team of Kinsta

Hey Niall,

Thank you for your review! It's great to read that Kinsta has been serving you well. We're especially delighted to read your remarks on our UI and Tech Support. Our Engineers are always here for you and ready to assist - they're also very happy to receive such kind feedback!

What do you like best about Kinsta?

I'm a huge fan of Kinsta' customer support. You get to chat with a human in seconds and they know how to solve your issue just as fast. I've tried other hosting providers that make you sit and wait forever. And, when you finally get through with their "support," the solution is almost always: "that's something you should ask your web developer about." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Honestly, I have zero complaints. Although, maybe their 2024 website redesign. I'm not a huge fan of that, lol. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Kinsta gives me the confidence to offer premium WordPress hosting and maintenance solutions for my web design clients. Before them, I was building servers on Google Cloud Console, but lacked the ability to actually offer hosting as a managed solution for clients. I ended up building sites on other people's hosting platform of choice which caused an insane amount of headaches dealing with terrible customer reps. I won't mention which platforms I used, but I didn't enjoy any of them. When I switched to Kinsta, I moved all my sites and now provide clients with a premium experience and a headache-free guarantee! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kinsta Team of Kinsta

Hey there, Jef,

Woohoo, thanks for this awesome review! We're so happy to read we've brought so much ease to your site management processes and that we can deliver a stress-free hosting environment for you! Reading about your experience with support is amazing, so happy for this feedback!

Appreciate the honesty about the redesign, sorry you don't like it, though. 🫣

Thanks so much for trusting Kinsta! We're truly happy to help power your projects! 🫶

What do you like best about Kinsta?

Security. They monitor every threat. They are proactive. They are aware of every tool we use and warn us quickly if we use anything in any way that could be risky. They do what the others say they will do. Professionalism. The communication is perfect. They tell me and my web developer everything we need to know. With most companies you get spam and advertising. With Kinsta, every email is worth reading because they write when it is important and we need to take action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

There are zero problems with Kinsta. Even the annual certificate updates are smooth and those have not been smooth anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were with a very popular name that was purchase by one of the big folks that manages it for cash. Higher payments and worse service. Our sight was infiltrated by a Chinese company using it for storage and presentation of ads. It turns out that common super security system that so many use was not installed write and per the 2nd vendor, they did not know how to install it. It was a mess. We had every security service they offered and there was no means to fix the problem including a complete restoration. We had to move. I learned that there were a few of these top quality hosts that were independant from the mega corps that own hundreds of hosts. I put Kinsta through some tough and annoying tests before I chose them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta is fast, reliable, and has great support. I host almost all my websites with them, simply because it works. The platform is easy to use, with a clean interface that makes managing sites effortless. There are plenty of useful features, like automatic backups, staging environments, and powerful caching, all without extra hassle. And if I ever have a question, their support team is quick to respond and always helpful. After years of using Kinsta, I wouldn’t want to switch to anything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I honestly can not come up with anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Where I used to spend a lot of time on standard tasks and needed multiple plugins for things like backups and caching, Kinsta has made everything so much easier. These features are built-in and work seamlessly, saving me both time and effort. Managing websites is now faster and more streamlined, so I can focus on building websites een webshops.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

For the past four years, I have relied on Kinsta as my hosting platform, and it has remained a solid choice. The user-friendly dashboard and fast load times have consistently met and even exceeded my expectations. As a WordPress website owner, I have seen real benefits, including improved search engine rankings, thanks to Kinsta's hosting. Their customer service has always been responsive and efficient, providing quick solutions whenever I needed help. Kinsta’s security features, such as daily backups and uptime monitoring, give me confidence in their reliability. Additionally, setting up redirects is straightforward, and their CDN effectively enhances performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I have been using Kinsta since July 2021 and have not encountered any issues. The service consistently meets or even exceeds my expectations. If there were one area for improvement, it would be expanding their data center locations further. While Kinsta has already made great strides in this regard, I would especially appreciate the addition of a data center in Southern Europe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thanks to Kinsta, my site's loading speeds have significantly improved, enhancing its growth and visibility on search engines. The fast performance, from web management to browsing, is a major advantage. Support is always readily available whenever I need help, with timely responses and solution-focused assistance.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

- Excellent support - I have never had a problem that wasn't solved quickly and in a friendly manner

- Intuitive UX in the backend - everything is always where you expect it to be

- Great assistance if required e.g. setting up multisite support, cloning sites, etc

- Fantastic uptime - I can't remember my sites ever being down

- Have recently deployed some web apps and used Kinsta's inbuilt database hosting, both of which have been extremely easy to start using, despite not being technical Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

- The number of visits on each tier is quite easy to hit if you have multiple sites that are getting decent amounts of traffic

- Staging sites are less powerful than live sites unless you pay extra, which you may need to do if you are using Wordpress with Elementor or similar

- Number of PHP workers can feel low Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Kinsta means that hosting is not something that I need to worry about. I know that my sites will be up, will be fast and will be secure.. If there are any issues, I know that Kinsta's support team will help me understand and resolve them quickly. I recently Moved into building web apps that require a hsting environment and a database, and Kinsta's intuitive backend made it easy to set this up and scale the service efficiently.

Response from Kinsta Team of Kinsta

Hey there, Alastair,

Thank you very much for your review! It's wonderful to read we've been able to deliver a worry-free hosting experience to you, and we're so glad you've been benefitting from our platform for building web apps!

Delivering value to our clients is crucial to us, so we regularly revisit and adjust our resource allocation. We introduced a tool in the dashboard that allows users to manage and alter PHP resources as needed, and hope this new feature will benefit your project. While standard staging does come with limitations, we do understand that certain projects in development may be more powerful. Thus, premium staging can easily be cancelled after the go-live and is prorated.

Thank you for your feedback and for trusting us with your projects! We look forward to supporting you on your web development journey! 😍
