The best Wordpress hosting there is.
I've been hosting my website with Kinsta for exactly one full year now, and everything has been perfect from day one. For example...
- Website speed and uptime have been amazing. Consistently amazing. I've always had higher quality web hosting, so I'm used to higher quality performance. But moving to Kinsta still resulted in significant performance improvements across the board. There is simply nothing faster out there when it comes to Wordpress hosting.
- Support is better than any support I've had anywhere else. Not even just web hosting support, but support for any service or software I use. They *always* respond to my questions within minutes via live chat (no more waiting 24 hours to get a response via email, then waiting another 24 hours to get a response to my reply, and on and on and on), and every support person I talk to actually knows what they're doing. I've never had to be transferred to someone else, or had my "ticket moved to a higher level of support" or any such nonsense. They always have answers to my questions and solutions to my problems.
- Their staging environment is fantastic. I can instantly create a second version of my site to test new design/theme changes or new plugins to make sure everything is working correctly before making those changes on the actual live site.
- They are constantly improving. New features, new improvements, new ways to make things better/faster for me in some way. I feel miles ahead of friends who are still using other web hosts, stuck on slower versions of PHP, waiting 24-48 hours to get a reply from support, using clunky control panels and paying extra for stuff Kinsta provides for free (SSL, CDN, etc.).
- Between their knowledge base and their blog, Kinsta is putting out the most thorough and useful content I've found on subjects pertaining to Wordpress and website performance.
- They migrated my site over from my old host without any problem whatsoever.
- One click and I had SSL set up. One click and I'm upgraded to the newest version of PHP. One click and a backup of my site is made.
- They set up the custom cookie-based caching I needed (and figured out that this was what I needed to get a third party plugin to work correctly).
- I have the piece of mind of knowing that my site is always up, fast and secure.
I can keep going here, but I think you get the picture. I highly recommend them.
