Online Educator Grows with Kinsta

Instructional Designer Dr. Jennifer Jacobs has vast experience in education from early childhood to adult learning. She shares her wealth of knowledge with online courses.

“Kinsta’s support is incredible! Unlike other hosting platforms, they don’t just share an article or link and leave you to figure things out on your own. They stay with you until your problem is solved.”

“The platform itself is incredible as well. Since moving my WordPress site to Kinsta, I have had no downtime and no unexplained white-outs. Their affordable plans allowed me to start small and upgrade as my number of enrolled students grew. I never worry about the hosting for my site.”

FAQs

What features are needed for optimal membership sites?

We recommend having plenty of PHP workers for logged-in users and site-level caching with simple purging controls. Our special Single Site plans above include 6 or more PHP Workers. You may also want to add our optional Redis for object caching.

Can we host videos on your servers?

Yes, if your website meets certain technical requirements. See the requirements on our Docs.

Can you host a multisite install?

Yes. Any plan above WP 25k can host a multisite. There are no hard limits on how many sites you can host, but you will want to be sure you have enough server resources. Learn more about multisite hosting.
