Kinsta was founded in 2013 with a desire to create the best WordPress hosting platform in the world. We are veteran WordPress developers who realized that reliable WordPress hosting built on cutting-edge technology with a focus on speed, security, and stability was not the industry standard. We decided to change that.

Kinsta provides premium managed WordPress hosting for everyone, small or large, starting at $30/month. We’re officially recommended and powered by Google Cloud Platform and their premium tier network to ensure lightning-fast load times. A completely free Cloudflare integration is also part of the service. Some of our clients include companies such as GE, Intuit, TripAdvisor, FreshBooks, Drift, AdEspresso, Workforce, Mint, and Swagway.

We have 25 data center locations around the globe which allows you to place your site closer to your visitors. On top of this, we also include a free HTTP/2 CDN to distribute your content even faster.

Our support team is made up of WordPress developers who contribute to core and other open-source projects, which allows us to provide top-notch 24/7 support. Kinsta has been awarded Top Tier Performance 5 years in a row by ReviewSignal and named the most reliable host by CodeinWP.

All of our plans come with the following:

– Free CDN, free Letsencrypt SSL, staging environments, automatic daily backups, and the option to create manual backup points anytime.
– Full page caching at the server-level to deliver content almost instantaneously to visitors. We also pair that with our Kinsta cache plugin, developed in-house, to provide even more granular control over caching.
– PHP 7.3, 7.4 and 8
– Free hack fix. If your website is hacked we’ll fix it with immediate priority.
– Server-level rules and optimizations for WooCommerce and Easy Digital Download sites to ensure a smoother checkout experience for customers.
– MyKinsta analytics reports for data analysis and performance insights on your WordPress site.
– Free migrations along with SSH and WP-CLI on higher plans
– All plans include our in-house built application performance monitoring tool (KinstaAPM) to help you identify and fix site performance issues in an easy way

Our hosting platform doesn’t fall into any of the traditional hosting categories. Our entire infrastructure is built on the Google Cloud Platform and is very different from traditional shared, VPS, or dedicated infrastructure.

Kinsta utilizes LXD managed hosts and orchestrated LXC software containers for each site. What this means is that every WordPress site is housed in its own isolated container, which has all of the software resources required to run it (Linux, Nginx, PHP, MySQL). The resources are 100% private and are not shared between anyone else or even your own sites.

Kinsta is also the creator of the local WordPress development tool called DevKinsta (https://kinsta.com/devkinsta) It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Within a few minutes, you can set up a WordPress testing area on your local machine and test new functionalities of your site without touching the live environment. The tool is completely free.
