Kinsta
Premium cloud hosting platform for WordPress, web applications, and databases.
What it does
• Hosts WordPress sites, databases, and custom applications on Google Cloud Platform's fastest Compute Engine virtual machines. • Protects web applications using enterprise Cloudflare integration featuring free SSL, DDoS mitigation, and hardware firewalls. • Simplifies site operations via the custom MyKinsta dashboard, automated daily backups, staging environments, and edge caching. • Offers DevKinsta for local development alongside an Application Performance Monitoring tool to diagnose code bottlenecks.
Why it works
Isolated LXD container architecture ensures site resources do not get throttled by noisy neighbors on shared servers. Google Cloud C2/C3D VMs combined with 300+ Cloudflare CDN locations deliver low page load latency globally. Custom MyKinsta dashboard eliminates complex server administration for non-technical site managers. 24/7/365 expert support with under 2-minute average response time provides rapid engineering assistance.
