WordPress hosting in Germany
According to worldatlas.com Germany has the largest developed social market economy in Europe, and fourth largest globally by nominal GDP. It’s one of the biggest centers of commerce, and education, with a landscape dominated by cultural venues. Regular trade shows attract millions of visitors word-wide and the city houses DE-CIX, the world’s largest internet exchange point.
For three years in a row, Germany has best named the best country in the world to be an entrepreneur, according to the U.S. News & World Report's annual 'Best Countries' rankings. Such an innovative culture requires top-notch architecture that can keep up with modern demands, as well as comply with regulations that require data to reside in a specific country.
According to Internet World Stats, there are more than 79 million internet users in Germany. With a total population of just over 82 million, Germany has an impressive internet penetration rate of 96.2% (in fact its one of Europe’s highest). An Akamai Q1 2017 survey shows that Germany ranks 25th in the world in terms of average internet connection speeds of 15.3 Mb/s.
According to Behv, Germany posted amazing double-digit eCommerce growth in 2017. The online retail industry increased by 10.9% to reach 58.46 billion Euros. Growth through 2018 is expected to continue at 9.4%.
According to Google, testing shows up to 50% reductions in round-trip time (RTT) latency when serving customers in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and eastern Europe, compared to hosting them in the previous closest location: Belgium. European companies east of Frankfurt should see better app performance when using the German region.

3.949 ms to Frankfurt, Germany
7.305 ms to Amsterdam, Netherlands
10.103 ms to Paris, France

How to achieve the best performance
Cutting-edge technology on the hardware and software side of hosting
Our developer and system administrator team have been working with WordPress for over eight years. We know it inside out, have written several plugins and custom themes for this great CMS in the past years and we’ve been actively involved in hosting WordPress on our machines for years.
We only use the latest versions of each software that we work with ensuring that you and your visitors can enjoy the best user experience and the fastest page load times in the industry.
For the tech-savvy, here’s our current stack: Nginx, LXD containers, MariaDB, and PHP 8.0. We also offer HTTP/2 support, SSH, WP-CLI and Git support for our accounts. We use SSD-only machines and our full-page caches are stored in memory to be able to deliver them in just a few milliseconds!
Turbocharge content delivery with Frankfurt CDN
Kinsta has partnered up with KeyCDN, a premium HTTP/2 content delivery network (CDN), to turbocharge your content around the globe. We include free bandwidth across all of our plans. When enabled, your content will be delivered and cached from their 34 POPs, this includes all regions: North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and Australia!
The network features a POP in Frankfurt, as well as 10 other POPs strategically placed across Europe. These provide high throughput and low latency throughout all of Europe, as well as surrounding regions.
Comply with data privacy regulations
Kinsta takes data privacy seriously and utilizes Google Cloud Platform's encryption at rest. We allow you and your clients to comply with privacy regulations that require data reside in a specific country or region. Rest assured, if you choose the Frankfurt data center, no data is ever hosted outside of Germany. By design, any add-ons or features that do transmit data outside of the country are optional and not enabled by default.
Our German clients love us
I'm very satisfied with Kinsta and the support service. I applied for migration less than 24 hours ago and it was done in a matter of hours. Furthermore, I received constant support in setting everything up. The next day Kinsta was immediately back on the spot when a plugin denied me access to my website. Support reactions that are so fast are rare, and the amount of support I received was out of this world!
I picked Kinsta as my host mainly because I was looking for speed, but I got so much more than that! From the super-friendly and super-responsive support to the super-useful and super-simple staging environment, this has been so far my best experience with a host. There are a lot of features I love from Kinsta. If I had to pick just one, that would be speed: basically, my website became twice as fast after switching to Kinsta... enough said!
Hands down one of the best bootstrapped WP hosting companies. Absolutely love their support staff and developer-friendly features (not to mention they are insanely fast).
