It’s official: Kinsta is the world’s best WordPress host! 🥳 Of course, our customers already know that, and we thank them for sharing their opinions so that we could be honored among the Best Web Hosting Software Products in G2’s 2025 Best Software Awards.
Helped by reviews submitted by over 930 Kinsta customers, G2 has ranked Kinsta #1 in the WordPress Hosting category and 8th overall among all web hosting companies.
G2’s 2025 Best Software rankings are powered by 2.8 million verified user reviews covering more than 180,000 products and services. So, we’re super excited that our customers have helped place Kinsta’s Managed Hosting for WordPress right at the top.
Let’s take a look at what some G2 users had to say about Kinsta.
Lightning-fast load times anywhere in the world
The speed of my Kinsta hosting package is incredible. My Google Pagespeed scores are right where they should be, and my visitors get a lightning-fast website load.
Josh W. knows that the Kinsta platform is built on the fastest servers available in 37 Google Cloud data centers around the world.
That’s made even faster with our Cloudflare integration for a robust CDN, edge caching, early hints, and built-in image optimization.
Everything you need to manage your WordPress sites
The dashboard is very user-friendly, even if you’re not super technical. It’s easy to navigate, and you can manage everything from one place without feeling overwhelmed. For more advanced users, even the more technical “thingies” are available and easy to reach.
Rolph M. and other customers love the MyKinsta dashboard. It’s a unified interface that helps you manage websites — from site creation, staging, live deployment, monitoring, and maintenance. That’s a big part of why G2 ranks Kinsta #2 for ease of use among WordPress hosting providers.
What I like especially is their recent addition of a server resources manager, which allows you to decide how you want to divide your memory/threads. You can choose to lower memory and raise threads or vice versa.
Daan V. highlights the MyKinsta dashboard’s PHP Performance tool, which makes it easy for customers to fine-tune the allocation of memory and threads behind their websites. This means customers can squeeze the optimum performance out of any memory configuration.
And the PHP Performance tool is just one of the Premium Add-ons available to help supercharge websites at Kinsta.
They handled a very complex migration process with speed, attention to detail, and clear communication of what they’d do (almost everything) vs. what I’d have to do…. They moved 28 WordPress websites comfortably within one month, including an insanely complex multi-site with nearly 100 daughter sites.
Benjamin B. found out that Kinsta offers free, unlimited site migrations from other web hosting providers. And we’ll clean up any malware we find while we do it.
Most migrations are completed in a day or two, but if you are in real hurry, you can get it done in eight hours (or less) by purchasing an expedited migration.
Proactive security for your websites
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.
Like Mark W., hundreds of G2 reviewers mentioned Kinsta’s efforts to keep their websites secure and conformant with local legal frameworks. That includes adhering to internationally recognized standards, including ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, SOC 2, CSA STAR Level 1, GDPR, and CCPA.
Security at Kinsta also includes proactive monitoring for malware and other abuse — 3,700 instances of which were stopped in their tracks in 2024 alone.
Fast, reliable customer service you can count on
A lot of other companies have great products or quick hosting for websites, but what really sets Kinsta apart is just how quickly they can help you resolve any issue you have with your website. Their support staff is outstanding.
Simply the best customer support I’ve ever experienced…. Once logged into your dashboard, you can start a chat anytime, and a friendly, knowledgeable, helpful support person will get back to you quickly. This includes truly phenomenal technical support.
Mark B. and Jimmy L. are talking about an experienced Kinsta support team that is available 24/7/365 without chatbots or tiered service. In 2024, the team achieved a median first response time of about a minute (one minute and two seconds, to be exact) across 120,364 support conversations. Additionally, Kinsta now provides that support in 10 languages.
Most importantly, Kinsta support logged a 97.6% positive conversation rating over the course of 2024.
A heartfelt appreciation to our customers
Kinsta supports 120,000 businesses worldwide. In 2024 alone, our customers launched more than 39,000 new sites. That’s a sharp contrast to 12 years ago when Kinsta’s four founders started the company with a handful of customers. But it was this long-standing leadership in the WordPress hosting business and our continued drive to bring the best technology and innovation to our customers that earned us this recognition.
Like our customers, Kinsta team members are located across the globe, and all of them are proudly dedicated to providing those customers with the best possible service.
We are thankful to our customers for the honor of their support through the G2 Best Software Awards.
