Contact Support
Support chat for customers with a paid plan or service is available from any page in MyKinsta. English support is available 24/7, and we are always expanding our team to bring you better support in your native language.
If you only have a Static Site Hosting account, this is a free service, and therefore 24/7 live chat is not available. We do have detailed Static Site Hosting documentation, and you can also connect with developers and knowledgeable community members in the Kinsta Community forum. This forum is where you can ask questions and discuss all things static site hosting, including website deployment, static site generators, and more. Whether you’re curious about choosing the right style of a static site, troubleshooting issues, or optimizing performance, our community is here to assist you.

Multilingual support and hours
At Kinsta, we are proud to offer multilingual support, not only for support tickets but also for sales, MyKinsta, our affiliate program, and our website. Below we’ll answer some common questions we get regarding our support hours, Billing team, which languages we support, and where.
We are continuously expanding the languages we support across all of the services and tools on our platform.
Hosting support languages and hours
Unlike many other hosting providers, we don’t have level 1 or level 2 support representatives. Our entire support team is made up of highly skilled WordPress developers and Linux engineers.

Every Kinsta client gets to chat with the same team members that support our large enterprise and Fortune 500 companies. As a result, the expertise of our support department is second to none.
You can open up a new support ticket with our team any time from the bottom right-hand side in MyKinsta. At this time, English support is available 24/7, and we are always expanding our team to bring you better support in your native language.

Why we don’t offer phone support
Kinsta offers 24/7 support via our chat system, which is always one click away in MyKinsta for customers with a paid plan or service. Our team of engineers are developers, contribute to WordPress core, and use WordPress on a daily basis. As a result, the expertise of our Support team is second to none. You’ll always have a knowledgeable team member on the other end.
If you only have a Static Site Hosting account, we have detailed Static Site Hosting documentation available. You can also connect with developers and knowledgeable community members in the Kinsta Community forum. This forum is where you can ask questions and discuss all things static site hosting, including website deployment, static site generators, and more. Whether you’re curious about choosing the right style of a static site, troubleshooting issues, or optimizing performance, our community is here to assist you.
Support work often requires careful, focused thought and investigation. Keeping support solely online allows us to better help you troubleshoot your website speedily and more efficiently. Our engineers can focus all their energy on solving your support concerns with the least amount of distractions and interruptions. This, in turn, means that your support requests are ultimately resolved faster. We believe it wouldn’t be possible to provide the same effective assistance over the phone.
Here are a few additional reasons why:
- A chat lets us immediately pull up your customer information, so we don’t need time to figure out who you are.
- Our system allows for two-way sharing of screenshots, links, code snippets, and videos of problems you are having. This ensures everyone is on the same page and, in turn, helps our Support team pinpoint the issues faster.
- We can automatically gather technical information for research and troubleshooting purposes and link you directly to our online documentation, which we are constantly improving.
- All support chats and conversations are stored for access at all times. This allows anyone on our team to pick up where another left off without having to ask you questions twice.
By focusing on online support channels, we can scale our support and dedicate resources to continually improve and innovate our all-in-one hosting platform. But don’t just take our word for it; check out feedback from happy Kinsta clients.
