What is Kinsta?

Kinsta is a premium managed WordPress hosting provider built exclusively on Google Cloud Platform's premium tier network, giving it some of the fastest infrastructure available to WordPress sites. All plans include a global CDN powered by Cloudflare, free SSL, daily backups, staging environments, DDoS protection, and a custom dashboard (MyKinsta) that replaces traditional cPanel. Kinsta's support team consists entirely of WordPress developers — not general support staff — and consistently achieves high satisfaction ratings. It's the closest direct competitor to WP Engine for managed WordPress.
