Kinsta reviews

Kinsta, Blazing Fast Hosting for Wordpress Sites

I have been in the web development business for over 10 years, and during that time I have experienced over 20 different web hosting providers. Ranging from shared server environments to semi-dedicated servers to fully dedicated servers I use to manage and operate.

Over the next 10 years, we are going to start seeing a dramatic shift in the web hosting world towards cloud-based hosting. The days where hosting your website on a single server computer is already behind us, and we are quickly finding out which websites are lagging behind. In a world that is ever connected, consumers are expecting to visit websites and have them load quickly. That's where Kinsta comes in.

Kinsta is a Wordpress specialty web host. That means they only host Wordpress websites. That niche environment allows them to optimize their entire network, hardware, and software setup for Wordpress sites.

Kinsta offers for every user a built-in fast cache system, automatic daily backups that do not count towards your storage space limit, easy one-click restore of these backups, free SSL through Let's Encrypt, the latest PHP, built-in CDN, the ability to restart PHP services if you need to, and 24/7 technical support through live chat.

I have been with Kinsta for about a year now, and have brought several websites and clients over to Kinsta. If you have a Wordpress website and you want it to load with blazing fast speed, Kinsta is the host you want to choose. They serve their entire network over the Google Cloud services, and it shows. To give you an example, We took a large website that loaded in 9 seconds on a dedicated server, and we brought it to Kinsta and it now loads in 1.4 seconds.

The speed difference is as dramatic as night and day.

I also appreciate the high quality of their customer service and the ease of use of their system. Would definitely recommend Kinsta for any Wordpress sites.

Biggest Pro: Website Speed
Biggest Con: Kinsta charges for overages to your monthly visitor limits. Can get expensive for very high-traffic websites.
