Pros and cons

Kinsta is a great hosting company for WordPress. The site is fast, support is great, and having a staging site is wonderful.
Kinsta is, by far, the best managed hosting provider I've tried in this matter. Again, Kinsta's customer support team is the best asset this company has.
Best server host i has ever been used and with the professionel and nice support you are in good hands.
PHP Workers are my main cause of troubles, specifically my site's shortage of them.
I changed to Kinsta because I was getting frequent attacks with my previous host. Those problems have disappeared with Kinsta.
The only problems I've had was when there was an upgrade. Those problems have been quickly solved with Kinsta support.

Strong service with excellent performance

Reviewed 2 years ago

It provides a very strong service and excellent performance, but the high price is an important factor in the customer's decision to use its services

Pros

• It relies on Google cloud data centers and the stability rate and service performance is excellent most of the time• It has a special system that provides superior performance for WordPress systems, applications and databases• Technical support is excellent and handles hosting management on behalf of the client• Provides a staging service to test changes before they are published• Free website transfer service

Cons

•The prices of its services are clearly high compared to its competitors•There is no domain reservation or free domain submission•The options for services are few•The control panel is simple but uncommon and requires training

Great Managed Platform for WordPress

Reviewed 2 years ago

I believe Kinsta team is doing a great work overall.

Pros

Kinsta gives a great management system for our WordPress sites, allowing us to focus on creating content and forgetting about backend issues. Great documentation on Kinsta help section.

Cons

I think that the only con for certain users is the price. Maybe the price is a little bit high compared to similar platforms. Aside from that, everything is great so far.

Vendor response

Thank you for your review, Jose! We are happy to know we've made it easier for you and that you find Kinsta's Help Center useful. Thanks for spreading the word!

Premium hosting solution

Reviewed 3 years ago

Pleasant experience with Kinsta since migrating our sites over nearly 2 years ago. We never miss out on important updates since email notifications are regularly sent to keep users informed of changes. On the instances I've reached out to support, they have been responsive and knowledgeable.

Pros

While I am not well-versed in web development, Kinsta makes it easy to add and manage sites, view usage statistics and error logs, control DNS settings all from its platform dashboard. It also keeps your sites extremely secure with protection from Cloudflare. I also enjoy their staging site feature that allows you to test plugins or code before pushing it to the live site. Their help and resource section is also informative for providing instructions on how to complete specific tasks.

Cons

Have not run into any issues while using Kinsta.

Vendor response

We are so glad to read this, thank you! Enjoy the platform and let us know when you need further assistance. We are here and happy to help whenever necessary!

Excellent Service

Reviewed 3 years ago

I changed to Kinsta because I was getting frequent attacks with my previous host. Those problems have disappeared with Kinsta. The only problems I've had was when there was an upgrade. Those problems have been quickly solved with Kinsta support.

Pros

I changed to Kinsta after having problems with a previous host. I've been very happy with my choice. The transfer was easy. I've had very few problems. When something arose, the support chat with Kinsta has been excellent. I prefer phone support. However, the 24/7 chat support with Kinsta has worked in every case.

Cons

I prefer talking on the phone instead of messaging.

Vendor response

This is amazing to read, Jerrie! Thank you for sharing your experience. Sometimes people can be turned off by the lack of phone support, that is why it is crucial that they have access to experiences like yours, where they can read first-hand that our chat support feature actually works. Thank you for providing that insight for others who might be unsure about how to move forward with their hosting choices. And don't forget that we're always here to help whenever you might need it.

Kinsta is Crazy Awesome.

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

I am IN LOVE WITH KINSTA. I love the ease of use. I love the efficiency. I love the layout of the dashboard. I love that I can update my php whenever needed. I even love the chat box bot. I usually hate those, but the probing questions with clickable links to the knowledge base is always spot on and super informative (and it's all so well designed and pleasing to the eye to look at which motivates me to get even more done). And if I can't figure it out on my own with the knowledge base, there's always a real person who has helped in the chat box and they blow me away EVERY TIME with how quickly they can help and they've never failed me once. Really, Kinsta is a life saver when it comes to hosting for my site. 10/10 would recommend.

Cons

Holy hell I don't know if there are any Cons with Kinsta. I know it can get pricey but it's also worth it in the long run for the efficiency and ease of use.

Vendor response

Madeline, we are wowed by the feedback you have given us! Thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for choosing Kinsta. We are always happy to help so do reach out whenever you or your team need assistance.

The Best Hosting we ever had!

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

performance and support, easy access to Admin, Dashboard, Backups and Metrics.

Cons

big difference in plan cots if you need more PHP workers. Currently we have 4 PHP workers for $100/month, in order to increase to 6 PHP workers, we would have to pay at least 3 times more ($300). I wish there was a better plan for just increasing PHP workers (we do not need extra space, more sites, etc, we just need more PHP capabilities).

Thank you, Olga! We truly appreciate your kind words. It's great to have you on board.

Reviewed 3 years ago

Our overall experience is very satisfactory. I'm very passionate about website optimization and performance. Kinsta is, by far, the best managed hosting provider I've tried in this matter. Again, Kinsta's customer support team is the best asset this company has.

Pros

Easy, great quality and good performance. It's all you need from a managed hosting provider. Kinsta has it all plus the best customer support team I've ever found.

Cons

It would be awesome to have a buil-in file administrator from the Kinsta dashboard, also te ability to manage FTP users. Disk storage is very limited/expensive.

Kinsta is one of my favourite partner for WordPress Managed Hosting

Reviewed 3 years ago

My company provides ecommerce as a Service. Before Kinsta, we had to manage the infrastructure all by ourselves. This is costly and very specific, so we choose to move to Kinsta and we never regret it. Kinsta took all our pain and helped us to grow from 20 sites to over 50 with ease.

Pros

Kinsta provides excellent support. This is my preferred feature. They also provide it in spanish, wich is very important for my not-so-fluent english staff. Beside support, they have a very solid infrastructre, and they know WordPress very well.

Cons

PHP Workers are my main cause of troubles, specifically my site's shortage of them. I would love to add more php workers on demand easily.

Kinsta, te hace la vida más fácil

Reviewed a year ago

Ofrece un excelente rendimiento y servicio, pero que también tiene un coste elevado. Si buscas lo mejor para tu sitio web y no te importa pagar un poco más, Kinsta es una buena opción.

Pros

Velocidad, seguridad y soporte técnico de Kinsta. Desde que uso Kinsta, mi sitio web carga más rápido, no tengo problemas de seguridad y siempre recibo una respuesta rápida y útil de su equipo de expertos. Además, me encanta que se basen en Google Cloud Platform, que tiene una infraestructura muy potente y confiable.

Cons

Lo que menos me ha gustado es el precio. Kinsta no es el alojamiento más barato del mercado, y sus planes tienen algunas limitaciones en cuanto al número de visitas, el espacio de disco y el ancho de banda. A veces me gustaría tener más flexibilidad y opciones para ajustar mi plan a mis necesidades.
