Hands-down the best hosting I’ve found for my needs
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I’m an independent creative doing photography and writing, and I build and maintain the websites for my projects. I originally switched one of my sites to Kinsta after endless poor performance and abysmal customer service from other service providers. I was fed up with what I’d been using and my research led me to give Kinsta a try. What attracted me most initially were the good reviews of customer service, high performance, and the availability of a staging environment.
Pros
- Fantastic customer service.
- Extremely reliable and speedy site performance.
- Very intuitive user interface.
- Logical, easy to use staging environments.
Cons
- Integrated email hosting would be more convenient than needing a different provider.
Most Important Features
- Responsive, helpful customer service that never makes me feel stupid when I have what feels like a stupid question.
- Staging environment is very easy to use.
- Managing DNS, etc is very easy.
- Migration was absolutely painless.
- Intuitive dashboard.
Return on Investment
- Kinsta has removed a great deal of stress and frustration I used to have with my old hosting, which allows me to better focus on more important things.

Very Happy With Kinsta!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We host all seven of our websites with Kinsta. Some are very high traffic, with extremely large databases and some are quite small. Kinsta offers specialized WordPress hosting that is fast and reliable and the migration process to them was fast, well communicated, and perfectly executed. We’re a year two of our relationship and very happy.
Pros
- Communication.
- Pro actively highlighting potential issues BEFORE they become a problem.
- The Dashboard is superb.
Cons
- The “help” section is very detailed and useful, but it does assume some tech knowledge.
Most Important Features
- Website Speed.
- Website security.
- Clear and consistent billing.
- Great dashboard.
Return on Investment
- Traffic has increased, due to loading speed of the website.
- I spend much less time thinking about hosting or website issues.

General SAWP’s Ultimate Kinsta Recommendation for Total Rapid Dominance of WordPress Hosting That You Never Have To Think About Because It’s Explosively AMAZING
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Kinsta provides WordPress hosting at scale. It solves security, speed, content delivery network integration (CDN), local development, staging environments, SFTP, and more. It is the fastest, most reliable, most robust WordPress host I have ever used.
Pros
- WordPress hosting security
- WordPress hosting speed
- WordPress hosting management of multiple sites
- Caching
- SFTP
- 24/hr AMAZING custom service with people that know what they are doing
Cons
- Communication about security details. I had a client that was upset Kinsta didn't allow end-users certain access to open and close ports. The client's conclusion was that Kinsta had a "pervasive lack of security" which is laughable because Kinsta is perhaps the most secure WordPress host on the market. There is room for communication improvement to bridge this gap.
- This is nit picky. Kinsta is amazing.
Most Important Features
- Speed
- Security
- SFTP access
- CDN implementation
- Ease of use
Return on Investment
- Install a website, walk away, never think about it again. Kinsta solves THAT many problems.
