Why businesses choose Kinsta
From day one Kinsta has provided us with a premium managed hosting solution; with new features being added regularly that continue to save us time, and ultimately money. It’s allowed us to continue to increase our client base without any degradation to the service our existing clients receive. We look forward to continuing to grow as an agency, alongside Kinsta as a valued partner, for many years to come.
Kinsta’s infrastructure allows us to guarantee our clients a peace-of-mind that we haven’t been able to find anywhere else. I cannot overstate how good that feels.
When making the leap from offering a Saas product to adding an SEO component, we knew we could trust Kinsta with our blogs. Using Kinsta’s installs and features, our SEO channel (blogs via Kinsta) are now among the top producers of all our sales.
Kinsta provides peerless WordPress depth-of-knowledge and expertise for our multiple sites; some of which have high-bursting event traffic and many of which are of a considerably complex nature. Customer service is first-rate; we always receive a quick answer regarding the best configurations – from plugins to firewalls and CDN setup. We consider the Kinsta team a part of our team.
After struggling for years with WordPress hosts, we finally found a host that truly understood the unique requirements of a WooCommerce store. Their stack can be optimized to make WooCommerce fly.
We’ve tried more than 5 different companies over the past 6 years and were struggling with our scalability until we found Kinsta. Our CTO researched hosting companies and he was impressed with Kinsta’s infrastructure. After moving we saw at least 20% faster page load speeds, better caching, 99.9% uptime, and the team is just there for you.
We started to use Kinsta around 2016-2017 and that has proved to be a great decision. We used to struggle with different hosting services for years, which hurt our business and created a lot of additional work for our developers. Kinsta is the way to go for our company. Our developers do not need to worry about server issues, like whether the server security is up to date or anything like that. When we develop a site on our local environment, we know it is also going to work in production.

Powerful Premium Tier network
This extensive private fiber network delivers traffic over Google’s backbone, not the internet. It features over 100 points of presences (POPs) across the globe, making it the largest of any public cloud provider.
Get 200% faster performance
We also use Google Cloud Platform’s robust compute-optimized C2 virtual machines and have further optimized this infrastructure to handle the demands of WordPress. We’ve delivered performance gains for our customers up to 200% faster, and sites that are more stable, secure, and speedy.
What is Premium Tier?
Premium Tier is designed to minimize distance and hops, resulting in the fastest global transport of your data. Inbound traffic to your site enters Google’s network at the POP closest to your end-user, and the platform then delivers this traffic to your site over the private network.
POP shortcuts
outbound traffic from your site is delivered to visitors on Google’s network and exits at the POP closest to them, wherever they are in the world. This means most traffic reaches its destination with a single hop to the user’s ISP, enjoying low latency and maximum performance.

It’s almost boring writing about Kinsta. 100% uptime. 0 Load Impact errors. 3 Load Storm errors. Another Top Tier performance that I’ve come to expect.
We’re constantly innovating
We’re committed to providing the best and latest technologies you need to make the most of what Google Cloud Platform has to offer.
The most powerful platform
Our hosting streamlines the set up and maintenance of the world’s most popular website platform together with the power of the world’s largest privately owned network. We take care of WordPress core and security updates so you get a fully managed solution.
Free migration for everyone
All our plans include free migrations. Migration plugins are great, but moving sites requires experts who can solve unexpected, unique issues along the way. Our engineers approach your site’s move as it were their own, leveraging years of hosting and WordPress experience.
100% private data
Every site we host runs in an isolated container that has all the software resources needed to run the site (Linux, NGINX, PHP, MySQL). This means that the software that runs each site is 100% private and is not shared, even between your own sites.
High-performance caching
We use full page, server-level caching to deliver your content almost instantaneously to users. We’ve also developed our own caching plugin, which is enabled by default all on sites we host, giving you granular control over your site’s caching.
Free automatic backups
We automatically back up all sites we host daily, and you’ll find two weeks’ worth of backups in your MyKinsta dashboard. We provide downloadable backups, manual backup restore points, and system generated backups, which are created during certain events. You can also purchase hourly and six hourly backups as add-ons.
365/7/24 support service
Get the answers you need now, no matter where you are in the world. Our support team responds fast—our average ticket response time in Q3 2019 was 1 minute and 19 seconds.
