Do you want the very best Managed WordPress Web Hosting for your website? I know I do and as an entrepreneur online for 8 years, the first 5 years getting my web hosting figured out was very difficult and now I've got it really simple here for you.

I'm going to review my past 2 or 3 years with Kinsta as a customer. I am finally happy with one WordPress host. I am finally able to scale up and stay on the same host no matter whether my website gets nobody coming to it or a million people coming to it in one day.

I'll show you the inside of how all of it looks and you can help me out a lot if you want to sign up and give Kinsta a try. Please use this link to go to Kinsta to help me earn as an affiliate because that's how I’m able to put out everything I know for free.

It also allows me to give you the best information without charging on any courses/coaching and this way you can go straight to my Youtube/Facebook to find amazing content.

What's awesome is that Kinsta did not have an affiliate program when I joined. I joined Kinsta purely because of their quality service and since they had me as a customer, they then made an affiliate program.

I searched for Kinsta and found Kinsta because I was looking for managed Google cloud platform WordPress hosting. That's what makes Kinsta's Managed WordPress Web Hosting the best because it's on the Google cloud platform.

That's the exact same backbone that Google uses for its web properties and that's what helps my website go so fast.

Before using Kinsta, I either had to pay a lot of money for a dedicated server which still didn't go fast in lots of parts of the world that were distant from the server or I tried to save money and use cheap web hosting.

Any time I got more traffic to my page, it would crash or any time on shared plans or VPS where other people's sites blew up, mine would crash too.

With Kinsta, I have had 3 years almost with utterly smooth experiences. If you could surf my website, you can see how fast everything loads yourself. Here's a page with like 50 images in blog posts that just ripped.

If you want to see everything else I use, you can click on the Resources Page. I love how fast my website is with Kinsta now and then it handles thousands of visitors every single day.

Kinsta Paid Plans

Here are the plans. The plans start at $30 a month. If you're trying to pay 99 cents for a shared plan, this seems like a big increase. However, you get what you pay for. The amount of hassle and struggle you'll go through with, the lack of peace of mind that your website can handle more people coming, how much is that worth to you?

I pay $300 a month for Kinsta because I have hundreds of thousands of visits to my page every couple of months. I'll show you the inside of my Kinsta dashboard now.

I haven't talked about Kinsta that much since they had their affiliate program. I did some videos at first that was really exciting about it but I'm grateful via Kisnta’s affiliate program, I've earned $425 and you can help me earn a whole lot more than that by signing up with my link today.

Ironically, I have not even talked too much about Kinsta. I've mentioned it here and there. It has worked fantastically for me. This is what the inside of the dashboard for the affiliate looks like.

The affiliate program is awesome for Kinsta because whenever you get someone that signs up on Kista, you get a lifetime commission which is ideal. You can sign up for Kinsta and I will earn a percentage of what you pay when you use my link indefinitely given the plans cost more than other shared plans.

There is a lot of money to be earned with it. You can see your referred customers and you referred visitors directly in the affiliate program.

Let's take a look inside my dashboard. You can see, I’ve received 15,000 visits to my website the past 7 days which means that right now I'm getting about 60,000 visits a month. If there's any peak traffic, all of this is effortlessly handled by Kinsta, simply increasing my bill.

That's what makes this Kinsta Managed WordPress Web Hosting so amazing. If I get a million people that visit my website in a day, it will work the exact same as it does right now with 2,500 people visiting my website a day.

What’s the difference then?

The only difference is that instead of $300 bill plus $100 hourly backups, I'll get a much bigger bill out of Kinsta. Therefore, you set up your plan on Kinta by how many people are visiting your website and this gives you free SSL and a content delivery network also.

I also have bandwidth. As Kinsta is on the Google cloud platform, you have to consider your bandwidth and storage cost because Kinsta is billed based on how much of the Google cloud platforms they use.

Therefore, it's up to Kinsta to adequately take what you're using on the Google cloud platform and to bill you for that and they do a great job with it.

In the analytics at the top of your page, you have your content network. The content delivery network makes it so that things like images that load can be loaded from local servers to really speed up your website and this helps if you've got global traffic, especially.

You can also look at your performance, response and much more detail here in Kinsta.

If you want to add a new site on Kinsta, it's as easy as just going and clicking “Add Site” and adding a new site depending on the plan you get. Kinsta will help you move your website over and this made things so easy for me.

I've got easy data here to look at where my main server is, how many visits, what the bandwidth is, etc, since my last billing. You can also look at the DNS. In your dashboard, there are more details as you can see mine.

It has, how many days of the month, how much of my bandwidth I've used, how much of my content delivery network is used, my disk usage and how much of my site along with my bill which is currently at $400 a month because I have daily backups every hour on my website.

I Messed Up Once

Every hour Kinsta makes a copy of my website and if I mess something up like one time I updated a plug-in, it broke the entire website and would not load at all. The only way I could fix this was to go into Kista and restore the backup. It was then like I never did. This is just awesome on Kinsta.

Entrepreneurs and Cheap Servers

One critical thing about Kinta is the impact on search results. What happens to a lot of entrepreneurs who don't understand search engine optimization that hops on these cheap servers like I did hop on some cheap shared server and here's what will happen.

The more traffic your website gets from Google, the slower it will go. The slower your website goes, the less traffic it will get from Google. This is why many entrepreneurs with these cheap shared servers plateau and search traffic and get frustrated resorting to doing things like buying backlinks.

What should you do then?

All that you really need to do is have a website that scales smoothly and you can see from my search traffic that my website is effortlessly scaling up and getting a thousand more clicks every month from Google because my site keeps going just as fast rather a thousand people a day or a million people a day come to my website.

Google Punished Me

The only difference is the bill and that's why Kinsta Managed WordPress Web hosting is so essential. I estimate I'd have double the search traffic today as I had when I started my business. If I had immediately been able to use something like Kinsta instead of having these web hosts that as soon as my search clicks picked up, my page slowed down so much that Google punished me by a lower ranking in search.

Users were having a slow negative experience on my website and it's consistently gone up over the last couple of years and the more my search traffic goes up, the more motivated I am to do more blog posts to get more search traffic.

In my Google webmaster tools, I can see the time spent downloading a page. I had put some elements on my website that slowed it down and as soon as I took those off, my page crawl time from Google went down to very low.

I then tried an ad network that got in the way of my Kinsta managed WordPress Web hosting. As soon as I put the ad network on my website and they started hosting it instead of Kinsta managed WordPress Web hosting, immediately with no other changes to my website, the page load time went way up.

Then as soon as I take that off, my page speed time goes back up and this is an essential statistic if you want to get the highest search engine ranking to get results like this and that's why Kinsta is so good for this.

What do I love about Kinsta?

You can have multiple websites on Kinsta. I will look over the features to give you some more details. What I love about it is that it's speed obsessive architecture. Kinta is obsessed with giving the fastest page load times. Kinsta understands how important this is for customers and Kinsta understands that when customers are happy, have rapid page load times, growing businesses from search and from everyone getting referred, they will stay with Kinsta.

Therefore, Kinsta is obsessed with getting speed.

Kinsta is also very good at security. I'm grateful I've never had any security issues with my website while I've been on Kinsta and this is a primary feature and function of this is that Kinsta is on the Google cloud platform instead of having a server somewhere else.

If you're on another host, you can get free migration and Kinsta says they have a next-gen infrastructure where you've only got the best technology on there.

I've also found that the Kinsta support has been outstanding. Whenever I've got an issue or question about my website, Kinsta has chat support that gets back to me right away.

I love the backups. There are full backups every single day by default. I pay an extra $100 a month for backups every hour because I've got a lot of edits happening on my website every day. If I go back a day sometimes I've lost the work of several freelancers who are putting new posts on my website every day, I can easily retrieve it.

This automatic scaling feature, to me, is what makes Kinsta absolutely outstanding. It's ready for traffic surges. Kinsta allows us to be prepared to go viral. If you're not prepared to go viral on almost any other web host that's not on the Google cloud or another cloud provider will crash and you will lose everything from all of your hard work to go viral.

Kinsta does architecture. It is flexible because it's built on the Google cloud platform as I said. Kinsta can easily and automatically devote more resources in real-time as soon as a lot of traffic starts coming in.

Kinsta is very good at WordPress because this is all Kinsta does. There are some other hosting providers that give you the ability to put more than just a WordPress website on Google Cloud or any other cloud platform. However, Kinsta specializes in WordPress.

They're very focused on WordPress and that's ideal because Kinsta has a lot of blog posts that can help you look at exactly how certain things on your website can impact your speed and how they work with Kinsta specifically.

I love Kinsta's blog. One of the ways that Kinsta seems to consistently get more visitors is by having an absolutely outstanding blog. I've found a lot of Kinsta’s blog posts in Google organic search and Kinsta has just deep blog posts on all kinds of things you can look at.

For example, here's a new post on the 10 Best WordPress FAQ Plugins and this gives you an idea of the quality of the company you're working with.

I think I've covered it very effectively in this review of what you'd like to know about Kinta. If you want to look at more of the pricing, you can just start on a smaller plan. For example, if you have too much disk space and you have to move up, you might be able to ask Kinsta to help you figure out how you could conserve disk space.

For me, my bandwidth was getting out of control on Kinsta. What I did was I looked at how I could reduce my bandwidth. I found a post saying that I could compress my images and this would speed up my site and it would also use a lot less bandwidth than I was using before.

I appreciate you reading to the end. I trust that given that you're still here, you have a high likelihood of wanting to use Kinsta. If you want to sign up for Kinsta, give it a try. Please use my affiliate link and I’ll earn based on what plan you select. I get a one-time bonus for bringing you in and then I get a little bit of what you pay every single month.
