Unmatched migration experience and support
Kinsta was exactly what we were looking for in a performant, customer support centric WordPress host as we scale up our sites under management.
Kinsta’s infrastructure allows us to guarantee our clients a peace-of-mind that we haven’t been able to find anywhere else. I cannot overstate how good that feels.
Kinsta’s backend infrastructure and CDN integration provides optimal website performance, which is now more essential than ever given the heightened importance of Core Web Vitals for Google SEO. Also, common functions such as backup/recovery, rollback, and upgrade are as easy as the click of a button. Last but not least, Kinsta has a very responsive Support Staff.
If you have problematic high traffic sites like us, you’ll love their migration service — they took care of everything and even identified some problem plugins that had been installed by former members of our team. I would have spent hours on the migration due to the size without their help.

*Offer is not available during our Black Friday/Cyber Monday campaign.
I need to migrate over 100 sites. How quickly can this be handled?
We typically migrate 8-10 sites per business day. While we strive to accommodate more if possible, we have limited capacity during the weekends. Our team will work diligently to ensure your migration is completed efficiently and reliably.
What will I need to handle myself during the migration process?
Nothing, unless you choose to migrate your own sites manually. Kinsta will take care of the process for you and be in touch when it is complete to ask you to update your DNS and point them at Kinsta for your site to go live.
Can you migrate a site from any host?
If the host is a WordPress host or your site has a standard WordPress installation, then yes, we can migrate it.
How do you handle the migration of WooCommerce sites?
Sites that are updated continuously, such as ecommerce (WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads), membership, and community sites, will need to be placed into
maintenance mode during migration to prevent data loss.
Can you migrate a site with a custom setup, such as Bedrock/Trellis?
Yes, we can. We have extensive experience with these types of installations so they wouldn’t add any complexity on our side.
