FAQ
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
Is Kinsta hosting right for my business?
Yes. Kinsta is built for high-performance websites. Our platform, support, and specialized programs are all designed to help you deliver fast, reliable websites and succeed online.
How do Kinsta’s PHP thread limits compare to “unlimited” hosts?
Kinsta’s PHP thread limits are designed to guarantee dedicated resources for your site, preventing resource overloads and performance issues.
“Unlimited” threads often come with shared resources, which can lead to unpredictable performance and a “noisy neighbor” problem during peak traffic.
How is Kinsta’s pricing different from Rocket’s?
Kinsta’s pricing is based on visits, disk space, and PHP threads. Rocket.net’s pricing is primarily based on the number of sites and bandwidth. Both models are designed to be transparent and predictable.
Will Kinsta handle my complex WooCommerce site?
Yes, Kinsta’s Cloud infrastructure, isolated containers, and Redis support are optimized for high-traffic, dynamic sites like WooCommerce.
Our platform is built to handle transactions, traffic spikes, and demanding e-commerce projects without a hitch. Learn about our hosting solutions for WooCommerce.
