Consistent, high-availability infrastructure
State of the art security
Our platform is built on Google Cloud Platform—a security model that protects the likes of Google Search and Gmail. We use Linux containers (LXC)—and LXD to orchestrate them—isolating hosting accounts. On top of all that, we have active and passive measures in place to stop malicious intent, DDoS attack detection, software-based restrictions, SSL support, and hardware firewalls.
Blazing fast performance
We only use the latest and best hosting technologies—Nginx, PHP 8.3, LXD software containers, MariaDB, and compute-optimized VMs. We serve billions of bytes and page views every month with exceptional stability and uptime. Traffic surges, unexpected peaks—our servers are ready for anything you throw at them.
Peace of mind backups
All hosting plans include six types of backups. Schedule automated daily backups, run manual backups, and access downloadable backups and system-generated backups that run when important tasks are performed. Hourly and six-hourly backup add-ons are also available—essential for WooCommerce stores and sites with dynamic content. You’ll always find two weeks of backups in your MyKinsta dashboard.
Free hack fix guarantee
If your WordPress site is successfully compromised while hosted at Kinsta we’ll work with you to undo the damage. Our security guarantee includes a free inspection of your site and a deep scan of your files to identify any malware, repair of the core site files using a fresh install of WordPress, and the identification and removal of any infected plugins and themes.
Thousands of five-star ratings.
And counting.
“With super-low problem-to-solution times and competence for days, we haven’t experienced support at this level from any company of any kind—including award winners like WP Engine and Apple. No kidding.
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 customers’ sites are safe and secure.
Thank you Kinsta for my super fast hosting and much happier clients. Plus, your customer service is absolutely priceless!
After the migration to Kinsta, I immediately got assistance from Kinsta’s customer support. The engineers who responded to my request were reliable and honest, and we resolved the issue smoothly. As a support provider, I know high-quality work in this area when I see it.
Kinsta gives us everything we need in a host in an intuitive package, and nothing more — it’s usable and understandable. Options are clear and not overwhelming, and support is A+.
We recommend Kinsta to anyone, like us, who struggles with the hassle of managing your WordPress hosting. Kinsta’s hosting platform is reliable, if something happens they will notify you via email, and their support is amazingly responsive so it’s easy to diagnose and fix any problem that may arise. You can leave your day-to-day hosting maintenance to them knowing that you’re in good hands.
