Kinsta is a managed WordPress host founded in 2013, with plans metered on monthly visits and 14-day backup retention.
Even royalty needs alternatives.
Kinsta is a managed WordPress host, founded in 2013. The operating system, web server and application runtime are managed by the provider; the customer works at the level of the WordPress installation. Plans are tiered on monthly visits rather than on CPU, memory or storage, and backups are included on every tier. Sites are served from data centre regions across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific, fronted by a CDN.
Kinsta once sold general application, database and static-site hosting alongside WordPress. Those non-WordPress products were moved into a separate brand, Sevalla, leaving kinsta.com selling WordPress hosting alone.
Worth knowing
Visit-metered pricing means the bill responds to traffic rather than to resource consumption, so a plan can be outgrown by attention rather than by load. The headline plan figures are annual-billing rates; paying month to month costs more.
Kinsta maintains a list of plugins that may not be installed — chiefly caching, backup and migration plugins that duplicate or conflict with its own infrastructure. That is a real limit on what a site can run.
