Kinsta Reviews & Product Details

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to say here, the experience has been very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kinsta's presentation and fluidity is amazing, the service is always ready and it is the fastest in which I have worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I tried several hosting services here in Brazil. But none of them has the speed, reliability and fantastic technical support that Kinsta offers. The automatic daily backup of Kinsta, the SSL certificate super easy to configure, the availability of CDN and cache are definitely facilities that I really appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is a little high, but the value is justified by what is offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The staging feature is better than any I've used. The speed and security are a given. The interface is simple, and makes keeping track of multiple sites a breeze. The backup feature is easy to keep track of and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is the price. I personally think it's worth it for most, but not all businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've experienced a number of different hosting providers in the decade or so I've been working in web dev, and Kinsta has definitely been one of my favourites.

Their inbound marketing content is actually helpful and easy to consume (rather than just being optimised for SEO), and their customer support is quick and helpful in their responses.

That said, my favourite part about Kinsta is the UI/UX of their product - it's just really easy to use intuitively. You get your head around it quickly with a short learning curve, which is nice if you're used to working with cPanel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I actually haven't had a single problem with Kinsta so far. They're a lot more expensive than many other hosting providers, but you also get a better tech infrastructure and great support because of that.

Note that we've only been with Kinsta for this particular project for just under 6 months and we're growing our traffic slowly. So, I can't speak for how we'll go with upgrading our plan and handling traffic spikes just yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is the fact that I was able to cut several plugins when moving to Kinsta, since things like cache plugin and backup are built-in. Add to that built-in CDN and you also have a service that you usually have to pay separately. The support is also great and try to do their best when assisting you with a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really an issue, but I guess having an 24/7 support available would be great (they didn't the last time I used it). However, considering I am not using some kind of enterprise plan, I can't really complain! Other than that, everything is really great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the performance of the overall site and speed, I like staging environment option, the full control to manage various server features, knowledgeable chat support, and scalability. The support blogs post are complete and well written which have answered many question I would have otherwise spent a few hours researching, so this is an added bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say the customer service availability has been spotty at times with longer than desirable wait times, but the blog and knowledge base section is nearly complete with answers to many questions. I understand the trade off of receiving a fast website / premium hosting product at an affordable price and giving up live phone support but the it would be nice if the chat wait time was reduced.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really can't think of anything I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kinsta the provider that really cares about each of its customers, from my point of view, Kinsta offers you useful and fast tools to manage a website in Wordpress. I love the MyKinsta dashboard, it is very intuitive, functional and fast, I also like the option of being able to contact support through the intercom chat. The support is effective and ultra fast. The prices are fair and the knowledge base is very comprehensive and contains useful information. I highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to download a full copy of my website to my pc, which is not possible with Kinsta. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kinsta will set you up with a WordPress instance. It provides the latest PHP version for speed, a tailored and effective control panel, ssh/scp access, and very helpful support staff.

They also offer a free migration per site, to help you move onto their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kinsta is expensive, especially compared to other shared hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clean and easy setup, amazing support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the way how things are structured on Kinsta, you may have to sometimes check if plugins are compatible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The worker change worked rapidly and with no issues. The information bases are set up accurately - I was additionally ready to change the MySql data set name with no issues. The introduced instruments are excellent and allowed us to save time, since we don't need to introduce all applications independently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed is decreased a tad with extremely high traffic, yet I need to state that the landing page doesn't implode at any rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Until now everything works perfect, no dislike anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's cheaper hosting. But, I'm a fan and have absolutely zero reason to shop around. They're great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I fairly new to the website game so having help on hand is essential for me. The customer service folks are superb and really, really helpful. They make sure when passing on info it's in a language i can understand and they never tire of my inane and basic questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure if I've come across anything I've disliked yet in all honesty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great customer care, I don't have to worry about dealing with issues on my own. The staging environment is very good to have and I have had no issues with speed and connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike about Kinsta so far aside from the price. It is very steep for me as a new business owner but I have plans to expand so I am hoping that it will be worthwhile in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
