Our customers love us
Customers love us for our commitment to cutting-edge technology, improving the developer experience, and expert support.
Kinsta is a fast and reliable host that resolves issues as quickly as they arise. Demand for our product and content grew to the point where our former host was cratering under the pressure; after serving one too many 5XX errors, we moved over to Kinsta, and the rest was history. Kinsta support deserves a special shoutout, as they’re available 24/7 and go above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction.
If I’m talking with another developer and they want recommendations on WordPress hosting, Kinsta hands down. It’ll save you headaches and all sorts of issues and your clients will be super happy so it’s a no brainer.
Two months after making the switch to Kinsta, we saw a dramatic decrease in the utilization of employees. We saved 2 hours per day per helpdesk employee on time lost to administrative tasks. With our current staffing, that is the equivalent of hiring another full-time employee. We never understood how good tools and proper hosting organization could affect our average time spent on what was most important: our customers!
Kinsta is the best hosting company in the world and it is not even close. Kinsta helps me provide incredible value, security, and performance to my clients.
Being able to pull sites hosted with Kinsta, push them to staging, and create a local environment has made my life so much easier. Reviewing plugins/themes and endlessly putting them on domains is now a thing of the past. Even if you’re not hosting with Kinsta, I’d recommend the tool.
