Kinsta Reviews

I also can’t think of one support event that didn’t meet my expectations. Since I see all the support tickets, I’ve noticed they even try to help my staff in areas out of the Kinsta scope. They deal with dumb questions in a professional manner.

Their support team is generally very helpful and have dug in with me to solve obscure issues. In total, I manage about 70 websites across multiple accounts with varied account types and I can say that I get the same response when I ask a question on a 2-site plan as I do when I ask a similar question from a 40-site plan.

I have been transferring a WordPress site to their servers with over 8,000 posts/pages and they have been extraordinary with their help. I am used to only ask for access with my previous host but have to do all of the work myself, and Kinsta goes above just giving me access and actually fixes my issues. It really feels like paying for more than just a hosting platform, but a service/support system that is available 24/7 to help me within minutes. This is amazing!

It's the one area of my business I know I don't have to think about. The support is incredible, and everything about the platform is thoughtfully designed and incredibly easy to use, and my customer's sites are safe and secure.

Managing more than 100 websites carries the potential for overwhelming tech support issues. But the switch to Kinsta has decreased our support tickets by roughly 50%. Our sites just work–they’re live, they’re fast, they’re protected, and they’re (expertly) supported. And that frees us to take care of our clients, which keeps them happy (98%+ retention rate) and our families fed! Kinsta frees me from spending time on things that are outside our wheelhouse. Kinsta’s ability to do what they do frees us to what we do in a way that far exceeds what we’ve experienced from other managed hosting companies.

The BEST thing about Kinsta is that it has more than doubled our site speed. Our site was quite fast before moving, and we already had many of the premium optimizations on plugin/software level in place. I don´t know of anyone that can beat the server level speed optimization that Kinsta has! (Maybe unless you have your own servers.) We actually DE-ACTIVATED all our optimization plugins, caching etc. and our site is more than 50% faster.

In the algorithm centric world we live in, speed matters. After a number of before/after tests between Kinsta and other hosts, Kinsta produced the fastest page load times. And not just by a few percentage points, without touching anything, the average WordPress site increased page speed by 53%.

We host 150+ sites with Kinsta. Previously, we’ve hosted with WP Engine, WebSynthesis (now gone), Dreamhost, Bluehost, etc. At the time, Dreamhost was faster than Bluehost. WebSynthesis was faster than Dreamhost. WP Engine was significantly faster than WebSynthesis. And Kinsta blew WP Engine out of the water. We speed tested every site before and after the WP Engine transfer. Out of 100+ sites (at the time), WP Engine won just one of them (and by less than 2 hundredths of a second). In some cases, Kinsta won by 6 seconds! It was mind-boggling.

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.

Switching to Kinsta turned out to be the best decision we’ve ever made when it comes to our website infrastructure. We saw a 60% drop in server response times, faster delivery of our pages, and nearly 100% uptime. The most insane part of it all was that this came at nearly 40% lower cost than the previous host.

The free migration I received was the first time a host migrated a site and got all the little details correct, not forgetting things, etc. and they were incredibly friendly and patient.

Migration of the site over to these guys is a complete simple breeze, they do it all once you send them the site details, although if you are not sure they are on hand to assist you anyway via the online message box in the admin area of your dashboard.

My experience with migrations has been excellent - I didn’t wait days for this to happen - migrations happened within a few hours. When I tried to migrate sites myself and there were errors, I received instant emails from support suggesting the issues I should look at. Extremely helpful!

If you have problematic high traffic sites like us, you’ll love their migration service -- they took care of everything and even identified some problem plugins that had been installed by former members of our team. I would have spent hours on the migration due to the size without their help.

We´ve had hands-off migration with Kinsta, and it´s been frictionless! Much easier than anticipated, and they follow up on every step.
