  • DNS Management
  • Website Tools (New Relic Monitoring, Kinsta APM, PHP Management and more)
  • The hosting infrastructure itself is superb (C2 compute-optimized VMs)
  • Cloudflare CDN integration
Cons
  • The ability to restore database only or files only (selection) from a backup
  • Only single staging environments are offered and it would be good to have multiple
  • More control over Cloudflare features within the Kinsta control panel

Hands-down the best hosting I’ve found for my needs

  • WordPress hosting security
  • WordPress hosting speed
  • WordPress hosting management of multiple sites
  • Caching
  • SFTP
  • 24/hr AMAZING custom service with people that know what they are doing
Cons
  • Communication about security details. I had a client that was upset Kinsta didn't allow end-users certain access to open and close ports. The client's conclusion was that Kinsta had a "pervasive lack of security" which is laughable because Kinsta is perhaps the most secure WordPress host on the market. There is room for communication improvement to bridge this gap.
  • This is nit picky. Kinsta is amazing.
