What do you like best about Kinsta?

I've tested nearly every major hosting provider before settling on Kinsta, and since then, I wouldn't consider switching. As the founder of PackshotCreator, I manage high-demand websites like www.packshot-creator.com, which ran on WordPress from 2016, and later www/upgradeyourpackshot.com. Kinsta offers exceptional performance, uptime, and a support team that truly understands business-critical needs. Their platform is fast, secure, and incredibly easy to manage. Every time we scaled up or needed assistance, their response was instant and professional. It's the kind of peace of mind you rarely find in hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

There’s honestly very little to dislike. The pricing may seem premium at first glance, but the performance and support justify every euro spent. My only minor wish would be to have more advanced analytics and performance insights built directly into the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kinsta solves the challenge of maintaining high-performance and highly available websites for demanding, business-critical applications. Their managed hosting takes away the complexity of updates, security, and scaling, allowing us to focus entirely on content and growth without worrying about infrastructure. Since moving to Kinsta, our sites load faster, downtime has dropped to virtually zero, and any support requests are handled professionally and promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

We moved to Kinsta after using a few other hosting companies. We particularly chose them, for the level of support they provide, even on our plan which is reasonably basic. At no time have Kinsta ever failed to help me, even if in the end it turns out its something I did. Uptime has been 100% and their dashboard is easy to use. Transferring my old website to Kinsta was really easy and all managed for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

The only real downside is that Kinsta is run using NGINX rather than LINUX which gave me some issues running a plugin that converted my images to WEBP. I did manage to use Cloudflare to provide an alternative for this, but this is the only issue and the benefits far outweigh this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kinsta doesnt have a mail server, so we used Google Workspace, however the lack of a mail server has meant almost zero spam/hacking which was a problem with previous hosting (also previous hosting all without fail washed their hands of helping me sort it out) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

I use Kinsta weekly, and sometimes several days in a row within the same week. I run a few projects hosted here, and I’m satisfied with the site speed and the features I use.

I mainly use Kinsta for SEO tasks, such as setting up redirects, making manual backups before significant changes on a website, and analyzing logs, clear website analytics.

Kinsta offers useful plugins (at least for WordPress projects), so you don’t have to constantly switch between your CMS and hosting platform. You save time by being able to perform tasks like creating manual backups directly within the CMS.

Additionally, what I find really valuable nowadays is the cybersecurity notifications. If any vulnerability is detected (for example, in a plugin), I receive a notification and can make sure that everything is secure and up to date.

For people who aren’t very tech-savvy like me, the Kinsta support team is always available to help with any questions, and they get straight to the point.

I’m genuinely surprised by how easy it is to be a hosting user without a technical background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I have to admit, the price is higher than I have seen with other hosting providers. However, because of the ease of use and the Kinsta support team, who are always available, you can save a lot of costs by reducing the tasks assigned to your administrator. I say this because we have a part-time administrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

I tried a few other Wordpress hosts before moving to Kinsta. The other hosts either had technical/speed issues, or the customer support wasn't very good.

Honestly, the difference with Kinsta is night and day. Every single time I have contacted support I have been connected with an actual expert who can help me within 30 seconds.

And it seems that they are always making upgrades to faster servers, better CDNs, etc. Even the UI of the control panel is amazing. Basically it's a quality service.

It might seem like it's more expensive than other Wordpress hosts, but it's worth every penny for a small business like me. You won't regret using them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

I wish their plans had more PHP threads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think that web hosting is judged by its LACK of problems. It solves my business problems by just working every single day, without fail. In 3 years I have never had a single technical or downtime issue related to their hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kinsta Team of Kinsta

We're happy to learn about your web hosting journey and experience with our platform. It's wonderful to know that Kinsta made a real difference for you and we're so glad that we're able to deliver value to your project.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta is a solid space. In the years I have been a client, I have never had an issue that could not be resolved quickly. Server downtime is negligible and the support team actually knows what to do to help you. Sites are easy to set up and transfer over. Integrating plugins is easy and all can be updated fro your Kinsta account. I have chosen Kinsta for many of my recent client sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

There have been a few plugins that I have not been able to use, but I totally understand that they are key in the integrity of the servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kinsta keeps my site live and helps me know when I need to intervene as it notifies me when there is an issue on my site. Because they are constantly monitoring, I can spend time on other areas and know when I need to return to the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

I have been a customer of Kinsta for over eight years, for both my own sites and for multiple client sites. It is, by far, the best hosting I have ever used. Not only is it very fast, but the real strength is in the near-instant tech support. I can't count the times they have helped with major or minor issues on my site, without having to wait in a queue. They are extremely knowledgeable about WordPress issues. This alone is is worth every penny. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

There are no downsides, other than it is more expensive, but your clients will pay more when they know their site is fast, secure and has access to near-instant tech support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kinsta is ideal for those who need relibale, fast, no-fuss managed WordPress hosting. The excellent tech support saves downtime (and money) and solves issues quickly, rather than having to wait days, like some other providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

I've used many web hosting services over the years, but Kinsta genuinely stands out from the crowd. From day one, I've been impressed by the lightning-fast performance—my websites load quicker than ever, which has significantly improved user experience and even boosted SEO rankings.

But speed is just the start. Kinsta packs an impressive array of features that you typically wouldn't expect for such an affordable monthly price. Their intuitive dashboard makes website management effortless, and having automatic daily backups, free CDN integration, and stellar security features means I can sleep easy knowing everything is secure and running smoothly.

Another huge plus is their exceptional customer support. Every time I've contacted them, their responses have been prompt, friendly, and genuinely helpful, resolving any queries efficiently.

Kinsta offers unbeatable value for money, combining high performance, robust features, and excellent support into one compelling package. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable, feature-rich web hosting without breaking the bank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Nothing. I'm overly impressed by the whole offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Web hosting with CDN and high quality feature set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta is an excellent hosting provider, offering high-speed performance and a rich set of features for website functionality. Our sites load incredibly fast, which has positively impacted our SEO. Their customer support is outstanding—knowledgeable, responsive, and available 24/7. Honestly, they deserve a medal. Even someone with no technical background, like a marketing team member, can confidently manage a website on Kinsta thanks to their exceptional support. It’s a fantastic experience all around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

While Kinsta offers excellent performance and support, it can become quite expensive—especially as you scale by adding more sites or features. Resource limits like memory and PHP workers feel restrictive, and there’s definitely room for improvement in that area. I also miss a few familiar tools that have been replaced by Kinsta’s own versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kinsta offers great website speed at a premium price, but the service is also premium. We have a challenge of being truly global, and website speed needs to be top notch in all parts of the world - we achieve this with Kinsta. It is also very easy to use as their support is great, we don't have to rely on website management service contractors to deal with any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kinsta Team of Kinsta

Hello Anna,

Thank you for the lovely praise of Kinsta's Support; we're always happy to assist, and such feedback keeps our team going!

We appreciate that you pointed out areas for improvement. We strive to deliver true value to our users and a set of features that ease daily site management to make Kinsta a good investment. We recently rolled out a new tool for PHP resource management that gives users more flexibility in managing PHP memory and threads as needed. We're always open to feedback and feature requests; if there's anything specific you'd like to see implemented, feel free to reach out.

Thank you for choosing Kinsta as your web hosting partner! We look forward to continuing to serve your project! 🤩

What do you like best about Kinsta?

Switching our WordPress membership site to Kinsta has honestly been one of the better decisions we’ve made. The site feels faster, more stable, and day-to-day management has become a lot simpler.

What really stands out for me is their support. It’s rare to reach out to a company and immediately feel like you’re speaking to someone who actually understands what they’re talking about — no scripted answers, no long waiting times. Just real help, from real experts, exactly when you need it.

Their tools are great too. Backups just work, the optimization features actually make a difference, and the whole setup feels like it was built by people who know what it’s like to run a growing site.

It’s not often you find hosting that gets the important things right — speed, reliability, and support you can count on. We’re genuinely glad we made the switch, and I’d recommend Kinsta to anyone without hesitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

Their pricing reflects the high level of service and performance they deliver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the biggest headaches we had with other WordPress hosts was support — and that’s exactly where Kinsta makes all the difference. If something goes wrong, they respond quickly, and you’re talking to people who actually know what they’re doing. No copy-paste replies, no endless back-and-forth. Just solid, expert help when it counts.

For us, running a membership platform means downtime isn’t an option, so having that kind of reliability gives real peace of mind.

Backups and optimization used to be things we worried about too, but with Kinsta, it’s basically set-and-forget. Daily backups happen automatically (and you can download them if you want), restoring is super straightforward, and performance tools like caching are already built-in — no extra plugins or complicated setups needed.

At the end of the day, the best thing is simple: it just works. We can focus on building our content and community without constantly worrying whether the foundation will hold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kinsta?

Kinsta provides premium managed WordPress hosting focused on performance and stability, leveraging the Google Cloud Platform. Its standout features include exceptional 24/7 expert support and a user-friendly custom dashboard (MyKinsta) with robust tools, making it ideal for demanding users, freelancers, and agencies. Kinsta delivers top-tier reliability, speed, and first-class monitoring. While offering significant value through its powerful features and excellent support, the primary drawback is its significantly high price point compared to many competitors. It's a strong choice for those prioritizing quality and expert assistance, provided the budget aligns.

Excellent Support: Highly knowledgeable and responsive 24/7 expert assistance.

Top-notch Configuration Options: Fine-grained control and advanced settings available.

Stable: Reliable infrastructure ensuring high uptime.

Powerful / High Performance: Optimized for speed and capable of handling traffic surges.

First-class Monitoring and Reporting: Detailed insights into site performance and health.

What do you dislike about Kinsta?

High Prices: Premium pricing compared to many competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kinsta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hosting two Learning Management Systems, especially with the added complexity of WooCommerce integration, is incredibly resource-intensive. These types of sites demand significant performance due to high levels of dynamic content and concurrent user activity. In my experience, Kinsta proved capable of handling this heavy load effectively. Their infrastructure delivered the consistent power and stability required, ensuring both LMS platforms ran smoothly even with the demands of e-commerce functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
