Managed WordPress hosting unlike the others
Our fully-managed platform doesn’t fall into any of the traditional managed WordPress hosting categories because our entire infrastructure is built on Google Cloud Platform.
WordPress tech stack
Kinsta isn’t your typical managed WordPress host. We’re not shared WordPress hosting, we don’t offer VPS, and we’re not dedicated. Our fully-managed platform doesn’t fall into any of the traditional managed WordPress hosting categories because our entire infrastructure is built on Google Cloud Platform. We’ve carved our own niche and you get the hosting benefits.
Optimized for WordPress
We only use the latest and greatest technologies for our tech stack, optimized for mission-critical WordPress sites. From Ubuntu, PHP 7.4, Nginx, HTTP/2, and MariaDB to Google Cloud Platform’s premium tier network and our isolated container technology, your sites will fly.
We speak fluent WordPress
Our support engineers are WordPress developers who build themes and plugins and contribute to WordPress core. No matter who you talk to on our support team, on any day of the year, 24/7, you’ll get someone who loves WordPress and knows it like the back of their hand.
Purpose-built dashboard
We built our MyKinsta dashboard specifically for WordPress. That means you’ll find WordPress-specific features and tools you won’t typically find in cPanel with other hosting providers. Many features have come directly from feedback so if you’ve got an idea you can count on us looking into it.
Peace of mind
Spend less time worrying about your website and more time growing your business. Whether you need to roll back your site or you’re hit with a sudden surge of traffic; Kinsta’s got you covered every step of the way.
Uptime checks
Every 2 minutes
We check the status of all websites we host every 2 minutes. That translates to 720 checks for each of your sites every day.
Outstanding reaction time
Our uptime checks allow us to react to issues before they affect lots of visitors. It allows us to be proactive in our support efforts.
Backups
Full backups daily
We backup your sites at least once every day. Should the worst happen you’ll be able to reinstate a backup of your site with the push of a button. We offer separate backups on all environments - live and staging - so your development efforts are equally as safe.
Additional backups
For an additional fee we can increase the backup frequency of your sites to every 6 hours or even every hour. If you make frequent changes or have a highly dynamic site, this may be a worthwhile addition to your site's security arsenal.
Scale as needed
Flexible architecture
Our infrastructure is built on Google Cloud Platform which puts the power of Google's hardware at your fingertips. Your site can scale up to your needs, and the power is always there when you need it.
Ready for traffic surges
Most importantly, we are ready for unpredictable traffic surges. Sudden spikes from social media or being featured on national television is no match for our server’s power.
Free hack fix
Proactive prevention
We don't just sit around waiting for hacks to happen. We keep all of our server software up to date and constantly monitor events network-wide. Suspicious activity is investigated and dealt with immediately.
Instant relief
If your website is hacked we guarantee that we'll fix it for you with immediate priority. Our technicians have years upon years of experience dealing with all sorts of WordPress issues and will restore your site to perfect working condition.
Hassle-free migrations
Migrate your sites to Kinsta and let us take care of the heavy lifting. Whether you need to move 1 or 100 sites, our expert migration team is on hand to help, working around the clock moving sites from other WordPress hosting services to our platform.
Simply fill out our site migration request form and we’ll be in touch right away to schedule a migration window that best suits your schedule for minimal disruption. Our team will keep you in the loop, notifying you of your migration status, which you can also track in the MyKinsta dashboard.
All of our plans include one or more free premium migrations. Need to move hundreds of WordPress sites and don’t have the time or capacity? We offer bulk discount migration pricing, so the more sites you move, the more you’ll save.
We’re constantly innovating
We keep a close eye on Google Cloud Platform and other hosting technologies, always looking for new ways to further speed up and optimize agency sites.
WordPress experts
The expertise of our support team is second to none. We only hire WordPress developers and Linux engineers and don’t have separate support tiers. No matter what plan you’re on, everyone chats to the same team members who back our Starter customers through to our Fortune 500 clients.

We’re available 24/7, no matter where you are in the world. We also respond fast— our average ticket response time in Q3 2019 was 1 minute and 19 seconds. We use Intercom, a unified customer messaging platform, so our engineers are always up-to-date on your issue, so you’ll never repeat yourself.

We encourage knowledge sharing within our support team so when complex issues call for teamwork, we’re ready to mobilize.
