AWS Alternative: The Benefits of Choosing Kinsta

If you’re looking for an Amazon Web Services (AWS) alternative for WordPress hosting, Kinsta has you covered. Powered by the Google Cloud Platform, Kinsta offers a unique, powerful, fast, and secure solution for managed WordPress hosting. Optimized for speed and performance, the Kinsta platform is unlike anything else you’ll find. Let’s explore why!

Introduction

For developers and other technically-literate WordPress users, Amazon Web Services (AWS) can be a viable option for hosting your WordPress site. However, relying on Amazon for your WordPress hosting isn’t without issues.

Maintaining peak performance on an AWS setup requires a level of technical expertise, confidence, and dedication that most website owners just don’t have. For webmasters who simply want a “set-it-and-forget-it” solution, AWS isn’t a viable option. 

Every day we encounter AWS clients who are looking for an easier hosting solution with more accessible support. Many also want to learn what makes Kinsta so unique.

We know that everyday WordPress and website users are looking for an alternative hosting solution to AWS that combines better infrastructure and performance, along with faster and better support. Kinsta provides all these and much more!

Mightycause is an online fundraising and donor management platform for nonprofits. While we have our own development team, we utilize WordPress for hosting our educational and blog content. Initially we self hosted on AWS but found it time consuming to manage updates and servers. After looking for a cost effective and turn-key solution we found Kinsta. Our engineering team had strict requirements for stability, speed, and maintainability. Kinsta checked the box on all of these and more! The move to Kinsta was really painless and quick, compared to other WordPress migrations we have done. They had one-on-one support to help us migrate from our AWS instances to their service. Since moving to Kinsta our team has been able to focus on our core product and not on managing a WordPress blog. We are beyond thrilled with the support and service we have received and recommend Kinsta to anyone running a WordPress blog.

How Kinsta Compares to AWS in a Nutshell

Kinsta’s infrastructure is fully containerized and powered exclusively by the Google Cloud Platform on Google’s Premium Tier network, enabling us to provide you with a large selection of the fastest data servers, incredible performance, server-level caching, dedicated resources, and enhanced security. Gone are the days of worrying about sharing resources with other sites, including your own! 

All sites on Kinsta are protected by our enterprise-level premium Cloudflare integration, free for all customers. It includes a secure firewall, HTTP/3 support, DDoS protection, free CDN, and other benefits. You also experience transparent resource consumption, costs, and pricing. 

We are also proud to be the highest-rated managed WordPress host on G2, the world’s leading software review and comparison site.

Amazon Lightsail is a basic virtual machine or instance on a cloud server that covers most of the necessities for a basic WordPress site.

However, to even come close to creating a WordPress hosting environment like the one we’ve built from scratch at Kinsta, you would need a combination of AWS services like cloud storage, databases, a CDN, and several open-source solutions.

Enjoy a 26% Faster Website Simply by Moving From AWS to Kinsta

We measured 3,200+ migrations over the course of a three-month span. On average, client sites that came from AWS to Kinsta experienced 26% faster load times.

How is this possible? Our customers enjoy:

  • The latest generation of virtual machines from Google’s Compute Engine general-purpose machine family C3D VMs and The fastest Compute-Optimized C2 VMs, available across all plans in supported regions.
  • A stack that’s been fine-tuned for WordPress over the past 8 years
  • Google’s Premium Tier Network to deliver website data faster
  • Free CDN powered by Cloudflare’s global network of 260+ locations
  • Built-in Edge Caching that cuts the time needed to serve cached WordPress HTML by an average of more than 50%!
  • Containerized sites, meaning no more shared hosting/resources at any plan level.
  • Early Hints feature, a modern web standard that can help immediately improve how quickly your pages load by providing additional information on what resources to preload, resulting in faster page rendering speed.

Migrate from AWS to Kinsta hassle free with our free expert migration service. With our 30-day money-back guarantee, you can test out the service and improved speeds completely risk-free. You only lose if you don’t give this a try!

Kinsta vs AWS

Let’s take a look at some of the major differences between Kinsta and AWS:

  • Kinsta is a leading managed WordPress hosting provider that offers all-in-one solutions for managing your website and supports 37 data centers across Google’s global network. AWS is a cloud platform that is not specific to WordPress.
  • The Kinsta setup is WordPress-optimized, which makes creating and managing your site simple and straightforward. With AWS, you need to set up and configure your own virtual machines, which is complicated and resource-consuming.
  • Kinsta uses C3D Compute Engine general-purpose VMs and C2 compute-optimized VMs (GCP’s fastest servers) for all plans in supported locations. In our tests, we found that C2 VMs are up to 200% faster than GCP’s lower-tier machines, while C3D machines reduced response times by a further 20% to 50%
  • Kinsta includes everything you need to maximize website performance and security on each of our plans. With AWS, you are responsible for collecting, purchasing, and combining the tools together yourself. 
  • Kinsta is well-known for its world-class support, composed of WordPress experts and Linux engineers, available 24/7 for all our customers via live chat, with an average response time of under 2 minutes. We offer multilingual support across all of our plans, and our engineers are experienced and capable of solving any hosting issue on your WP site. AWS offers support only for server-related issues and requires you to pay extra for technical support (starting at $29 per month). In addition, AWS doesn’t provide WordPress-specific support.
  • MyKinsta dashboard includes a variety of useful site management tools that are not available on AWS: database search and replace, free and built-in APM tool, free IP Geolocation manager, ionCube loader, PHP restart, one-click WordPress installation, staging features, and much more.
  • Containerized Solution. Kinsta offers a unique infrastructure that containerizes site resources so they don’t have to share. This increases and levels your performance on a per-site basis. No more worrying about sites you don’t manage potentially stealing your resources. It also helps minimize your time spent troubleshooting performance issues as you no longer have to account for potential resource stealing.
  • Because of Kinsta’s unique containerized hosting, you can also host multiple sites on multiple data centers, all within the same plan! No more having to pay for multiple servers just to host sites in different locations. Help your clients get an instant performance boost by simply hosting their site on a server that’s more appropriately located for their customer base.
  • Kinsta has scored “top tier performance” for the past five years on Review Signal’s annual performance reviews. As AWS is a cloud provider and not a WordPress host, AWS isn’t involved in these benchmark tests. However, on Review Signal, AWS has an overall rating of 66%, a support rating of 55%, and an uptime monitoring rating of 98%.
  • Transparent resources and pricing. Kinsta lets you know exactly what resources your sites have available. AWS plans can be complex and confusing.
  • Kinsta plans include everything you need to maximize site performance and security, including premium DNS, uptime monitoring, and firewalls. AWS doesn’t provide any WordPress-specific security features.
  • Kinsta CDN takes advantage of our Cloudflare integration and its worldwide network that spans almost 200 cities in more than 100 countries. We don’t need to know where you are to know there will be a Cloudflare server near you. That means lightning-fast server requests to your website. It’s available at no extra cost on any Kinsta plan. AWS, on the other hand, charges for CDN traffic on top of regular cloud storage and usage fees.
  • Kinsta automatically performs weekly database optimization for all your sites, whereas with AWS, you’d need to take care of database optimization tasks yourself.
  • Unlike AWS, Kinsta offers out-of-the-box ecommerce-optimized caching.
  • Kinsta has a unique system that caches pages at the server level. Our built-in Edge Caching cuts the time needed to serve cached WordPress HTML by an average of more than 50%!
  • Kinsta provides easy SSL implementation using free Cloudflare certificates, which aren’t provided with AWS.
  • All Kinsta customers benefit from Google Cloud’s premium global tier network, which provides faster load times for your website visitors.
  • Kinsta provides free, human-performed migrations with all of our plans, offloading you from the time-consuming website migration process.
  • For developers and agencies, Kinsta offers a powerful local development tool called DevKinsta. With DevKinsta, you can clone and develop your projects locally and push updates to Kinsta when ready. WordPress multisite is also supported.
  • Sites on Kinsta are equipped with a self-healing PHP feature. We monitor all sites on our infrastructure 480 times per day and offer an uptime guarantee. 
  • We offer six types of backups, including automatic daily backups. At AWS, you need to take care of backups on your own.
  • Kinsta offers a 100% Malware Security Pledge.
  • Kinsta is SOC2 compliant, which provides independent proof that we have established security procedures and adhered to those procedures over time. AWS is also SOC2 compliant. See Kinsta’s Trust Report for additional information.
  • Kinsta has a very attractive affiliate program with recurring commissions.
  • Kinsta has a 30-day money-back guarantee, while AWS doesn’t provide full refunds.

Kinsta Is Built for Performance and Scalability

If you’ve gone out of your way to set up a WordPress site with an IaaS cloud solution like AWS, you value performance. In that case, the last thing you probably want is to switch over to a shared host. That’s good news since what Kinsta offers is nothing like shared hosting.

Our hosting platform uses the Google Cloud Platform as its backbone — the first managed WordPress hosting provider to do so. Rather than standard shared hosting and VPS, we make use of the newest hosting technologies to provide cutting-edge infrastructure.

With GCP’s Premium Tier network, we ensure that the traffic to and from our customers’ sites is routed around the world as quickly as possible. When it comes to page load times and site performance, every millisecond counts!

High-performance virtual machines powered by the Google Cloud Platform form the foundation of our hosting infrastructure. Beyond that, our high-performance hosting stack consists of orchestrated LXC containerized software containers and LXD managed hosts and highly tuned configurations for Nginx, PHP, and MariaDB. Our unique containerized infrastructure allows sites hosted on Kinsta to automatically scale CPU and RAM usage in response to traffic surges.

As part of our Cloudflare integration, Edge Caching saves your Kinsta site/page cache to any of Cloudflare’s global network of 260+ data centers.

Edge Caching is included free with all Kinsta plans, doesn’t require a separate plugin, and cuts the time needed to serve cached WordPress HTML by an average of more than 50%!

We’re fast:

“We monitored speeds of test sites and Kinsta’s network always produced one second faster load times than those hosted on AWS. In eCommerce, loading one second faster is everything, because user attention and conversions are directly correlated with this metric.”

Depending on the type of site you have, simply switching to Kinsta could result in a speed improvement of between 20% and 300%!

Kinsta’s managed WordPress hosting enhances your sites with the power, scalability, and speed of a distributed cloud infrastructure without having to set up and maintain complex virtual machine architecture by yourself.

Kinsta has allowed us to offer a bulletproof service to our top tier clients and keep them happy. Especially those who have traffic spikes with sudden server demand.

Kinsa Is Safe and Secure

At Kinsta, we know that the security of your data is of the utmost importance, which is why we’re dedicated to providing the most secure hosting service by taking a variety of active and passive measures to safeguard your site.

All sites on Kinsta are protected by our free Cloudflare integration, which includes an enterprise-level firewall with a custom ruleset and DDoS protection. With our Cloudflare integration, you’ll get the benefits of enhanced security and performance without having to manage your own Cloudflare account.

Some of Kinsta’s key security measures include:

  • Monitoring sites every three minutes for uptime, 480 times a day.
  • Rigid software-based restrictions to stop malicious code from entering your website.
  • Real-time DDoS attack detection and mitigation.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) support and automatic bans for IPs that have more than six failed login attempts in a minute.
  • A dedicated Security Team to address malicious attackers, hacks, and exploits.
  • Free Cloudflare integration with a secure firewall and built-in DDoS protection.
  • Only support for encrypted SFTP and SSH connections (no FTP).
  • Completely isolated containers (LXC), using LXD to orchestrate them so there’s no chance of cross-infection from other clients.
  • Free Cloudflare SSL certificates with wildcard domain support.
  • 100% Malware Security Pledge if your site is infected with malware while hosted on Kinsta.
  • Automatic security checks for every plugin installed to discover vulnerabilities and/or security issues.

In the rare event that something were to happen to your site, our Malware Security Pledge means you will get hands-on assistance from our engineers free of charge. We’ll restore your site and make sure it’s free of backdoors that hackers can take advantage of.

Kinsta Is Developer-Friendly

We create a WordPress hosting solution tailored for developers without sacrificing ease of use. Everything from our custom dashboard to our products and tools is built to help improve your productivity.

Some developer-friendly features and tools you have access to as a Kinsta customer include:

  • SSH, Git, and WP-CLI access on all plans.
  • Custom setups like Bedrock and Trellis, as well as starter themes such as Sage.
  • One-click WordPress staging environments that allow you to easily push changes from staging to production as well as conveniently clone your site.
  • Run a different version of PHP for each live site and staging site, and switch between PHP engines takes just one click. We currently support 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3.
  • Post and page revisions enabled by default. While we recommend limiting or disabling these, we believe this should be your choice.
  • Load your site over a reverse proxy.
  • Built-in free APM (Application Performance Monitoring) tool for troubleshooting WordPress performance issues.
  • DevKinsta, a free local development tool.
  • Restore backups to staging as well as production.

With Kinsta as your hosting provider, you have all the tools needed to manage your WordPress site, regardless of your technical knowledge. If you’re used to AWS’s high-performance Route 53 DNS, don’t worry: that’s what Kinsta uses as well. 

AWS offers no restrictions in terms of access to your features. However, spending the time to manually set up a virtual machine and optimize it for WordPress on that platform is time-consuming, even for experienced users. At Kinsta, we make everything quick, simple, and effective.

We don’t rely on a tiered support system, which means we won’t waste your time with escalations and transfers. Whether you’re on our Starter or Enterprise 4 plan, you have access to the same team of WordPress experts.

Our agency has worked with all the major hosting platforms. Kinsta is crazy fast and the support is stellar! We moved all our clients to Kinsta and haven’t looked back.

In addition to multilingual support and resources available in over 10 languages, we’re also proud to maintain an initial ticket response time average of under two minutes!

Out of the handful of hosts and solutions we tested, Kinsta provided the best-in-class performance while reducing our team’s dependency on DevOps support — Kinsta’s support team is second to none.

With AWS, you need to pay extra if you want access to any sort of technical support, starting at $29 per month.

Free Performance Monitoring Tool

All Kinsta plans come with a free custom-built APM tool that can be easily accessed in the MyKinsta dashboard. Kinsta APM provides you with key WordPress performance insights and metrics without the need to pay for third-party subscriptions to other APM services.

With the information you get from Kinsta APM, you can debug and troubleshoot performance bottlenecks, These include:

  • Slow WordPress plugins and themes.
  • Long calls to external APIs and domains.
  • Unoptimized MySQL database queries.
  • PHP execution time

With Kinsta APM, you can use full stack traces to debug WordPress performance issues down to a specific line of code.

Amazon Web Services is a fully unmanaged service, so it doesn’t come with any built-in APM tools. You have the option of installing other APM tools on AWS servers, but the setup process is fully manual and often very complex.

Furthermore, after installing server-side APM packages, most services will require an expensive monthly subscription to read and analyze the data. With Kinsta APM, you get a custom-built performance monitoring tool specifically built for WordPress – for free.

Optimized for WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads

As a managed WordPress hosting company, we understand the importance of a platform capable of supporting high-traffic, resource-intensive ecommerce sites. We also recognize the unique and demanding challenges that come with powering online stores. This is why we optimized our platform for WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads.

WooCommerce and other WordPress ecommerce plugins rely heavily on CPU performance because they cannot be efficiently cached. This is where our C3D and C2 VMs really shine with their industry-leading CPU performance. At Kinsta, we make C3D and C2 VMs available on all plans from Starter to Enterprise 4 and beyond.

Screenshots showing Kinsta speed optimization visualizations
Improving the ecommerce user experience.

Our expert engineers are very familiar with WooCommerce and have developed a custom workflow that optimizes performance. Some of the ways we enhance the WordPress ecommerce experience include:

  • Excluding ‘My Account,’ checkout, cart, and other pages that shouldn’t be cached.
  • Ensuring a smooth checkout process by automatically bypassing the cache for users when woocommerce_items_in_cart or edit_items_in_cart are detected.
  • Implementing specific rules to allow EDD and WooCommerce functionality during server-level page caching.

Amazon Lightsail and other AWS services, on the other hand, do not offer ecommerce-optimized caching by default.

Develop Locally With DevKinsta

With DevKinsta, you can launch WordPress sites with a full hosting stack and SSL support on your local computer (macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu) with just a few clicks.

DevKinsta is fully integrated with MyKinsta and Kinsta’s hosting platform, so you can join the 60,000+ community members using DevKinsta to develop locally and push updates directly to a staging environment on Kinsta!

Screenshot of the DevKinsta interface

AWS doesn’t have an integration with a local WordPress development tool, which means there is no way to clone and push local WordPress sites for AWS customers.

If you’re a busy freelance or agency developer, DevKinsta’s advanced features (including multisite support) and MyKinsta integration can be a huge time saver.

Turbocharging Your Content Delivery With Kinsta CDN

As part of our Cloudflare integration, our built-in Edge Caching saves your Kinsta site/page cache to any of Cloudflare’s global network of 260+ data centers.

When site visitors load your website in their browser, cached responses will be delivered from the location closest to them. Edge Caching is free with all Kinsta plans and doesn’t require a separate plugin.

Our content delivery architecture was tailor-made for high throughput and low latency. You can enable the CDN directly from your MyKinsta dashboard.
