Are you looking for the best overall hosting provider? Well in this Kinsta review I'm going
to go through everything that you need to know about Kinsta before deciding if they're the
right hosting provider for you. I'm not going to waste time here with fluff content but instead
i'm going to provide you value by showing you the most important results from my live testing like
the page load speed up time and customer support quality i will also show you a live demo so you
essentially get to test out kinster without having to purchase a hosting plan for yourself and lastly
i'll provide you with my honest recommendations on if or who should buy kinster i will have a
special bonus offer for you if you decide to pick up kinster through my special discounted link in
the description below i also have a free checklist on starting a successful blog for everyone so make
sure to stick with me to the end and i'll show you how to get access to this bonus but for now let's
get right into this review after purchase setup and ease of use right away from their home page
you can see it looks very easy to navigate with their custom user interface compared to the cpanel
that a lot of other hosting providers use the design is also very clean and simple
you can see here everything you need for your website can be accessed on the left hand panel
for example if you go into tools you can modify your site caching and ssl certificates from there
and when you need to set up your cdn just click on here or if you need to restore your backups
you can just simply go to here so everything is there for you and it's very responsive
now let's see how easy it is to install and create your wordpress website so click here and click
get started and now we want to install wordpress choose your domain name you will have to purchase
your domain name from somewhere else as kinster does not provide a domain name service so what
i recommend you do and what i do myself is i buy all my domain names from namecheap.com they're one
of the best and cheapest domain name providers so you can check out this video here for more
information on how to do that put in the name of your site here and now we choose our data centers
kinster amazingly has 24 data centers around the world and the one you should choose is where most
of your customers are located so for example if it's in australia then you should pick sydney
but for this case i'm going to pretend that my customers are global so i'm just going to choose
northern virginia here now you need to put in your site title put in username make sure not to use
admin as this will make it easier for hackers to get into your website and now you need to
decide if you want to install woocommerce or yoast seo so put in woocommerce if you want to
use it for your ecommerce store and for yoast i don't recommend this i have a different seo
plugin that i use so once you're happy with everything click on add site
now give it a few minutes for kinster to get your website ready and once it shows that our website
is live we can move on to the next step and what about installing an ssl certificate to do this
you can either click it from here or go to tools scroll down to the bottom and click on enable
click on generate free ssl certificate click on generate give it a few moments to load and
that's it our let's encrypt ssl certificate has been successfully installed now we should enable
the force https also click on enable and we want to force all traffic and now click force https so
you can see installing an ssl certificate was very simple now one thing that is missing with kinster
is they don't provide you with email hosting but this would not be a big deal for you if you're
normally using something like a g suite account anyway i do this but for some beginners they might
want to just use the provided email hosting which kinster don't have for you overall i would score
kinster a 9 out of 10 for setup and ease of use i think all users especially beginners would love
how clean their user interface is and just how easy it is to navigate and do things to your site
i personally think this is one of the cleanest user interface out of all the ones i have tested
so far i'm very impressed with kinster here i did take one mark away from them for not having the
option to purchase domain names from kinstar they also don't have the option for you to host your
emails with them not having these options make it harder to use overall especially for someone who
is looking for a simplest solution speed and uptime performance tests so i have installed
the basic wordpress site and i went ahead and tested out the speed of the bare bones website
using gt metrics the result is one second flat this is a great start from kinster even though
this is not the fastest in my test so far i must say they are very close so now i will take it a
step further and add some design elements to it to increase the page size and don't worry if you're
overwhelmed looking at this my course that i will provide you for supporting the channel will guide
you through this step by step i am also going to install some free plugins to speed up the website
normally i would install the wp fastest cache plugin which is for speed optimization but kinster
has a server side caching already so this is not required the next plugin is short pixel which is
for image optimization and lastly i will install the free premium kinser cdn which will also
increase the website performance this will make it more comparable to what you would do in real life
this is now what the new website layout with all its new plugins look like and the speed is now 1.1
seconds which definitely makes them one of the fastest hosting providers i have tested so far
and they easily pass google's recommended site load speed of two to three seconds
so really well done to kinster here now i have also been monitoring the stability performance
of kinsta with uptime robot and can report that their uptime for the last 30 days is a perfect
100 in fact they have not had any downtime for over 45 days in a row which is very impressive
overall i would rate kinsa's speed and uptime performance a 10 out of 10. i cannot fault them
on anything here they have a really amazing speeds one of the best i have tested and uptime is solid
too and they pass my minimum requirement easily so well done to kinster overall in the performance
department here's a quick question for you do you think kinsta's page load speed of 1.1 seconds
is faster or slower than what you expected let me know in the comments section below
support kinster provides 24 7 customer support through email and live chat unfortunately they
don't have phone support so it is not so good for anyone who prefers this method of support
i will test them out by asking them these three different questions on live chat
one i would tell them that i have been infected by a virus on my website and ask for their help
two i asked them a quick question about their domain name renewal cost and three i asked them
if they could do me a favor and install an ssl certificate and cloudflare for me as i
am a complete newbie and have no idea how to do this here are the results for the first question
they ran a virus scan for me right away and were going to remove all the malware for me for free as
it is part of kinsta's guarantee that any website hosted with kinster would be free of any malware
i was really impressed with their support on this issue they are one of the only hosting providers
that i've tested who are actually willing to remove the malware for free too which is awesome
for question 2 while kinston does not offer domain names the support staff did offer a recommendation
and a guide on setting up with kinster all in one reply message so i believe they did as well
as they can here and for the last question the kinster support staff was super quick to help
they had already installed the ssl certificate for me even before replying to my first message
which was super fast they also provided a custom step-by-step guide and were willing to stay online
to guide me through this setup so i was very happy with this support too with regards to their
response time i contacted them at three different times of the day to make sure i get an overall
average and not just the bias fast response time during their off-peak hours so the three times
were 49 seconds 21 seconds and 3 minutes and 22 seconds the average of those three times turns out
to be around 1 minute and 30 second wait which is definitely one of the fastest response time from
a hosting provider i have tested i think the max wait time for any hosting provider should be kept
under 5 minutes which kinds to pass with flying colours here overall i would say their support was
amazing and i would score them a perfect 10 out of 10. their support team was friendly and willing to
help immediately without having to ask twice and their response time one of the best i have ever
had from any online services do you like the level of detail i'm providing in my kinster review so
far if yes make sure to let me know by liking my video and don't forget to subscribe to my channel
so you don't miss out on more quality content that i'll be releasing every single week pricing
options click on the link in the description or type this into your browser it will take you to
my special kinster discount page where you'll get the best discount kinster is currently offering
from here we can see that kinster is a managed wordpress hosting platform and they use premium
cloud hosting on their servers which is the google cloud platform so we click on view plans
kinster's pricing plans is very simple you can see here from the starter plan is thirty dollars you
get one website 25 000 visits and 10 gigabytes of disk space if you want more then you need to
upgrade to the pro plan or the business plan and the difference here is that you get an increase
in all three of the limits that i've mentioned before so for example on the pro plan you'll get
an extra website and your number of visits will double from twenty five thousand to fifty thousand
and your disk space will also double from ten to twenty all other features apart from these three
on kinster's plans are all the same so they're not the determining factor another great unique
feature that kinsta offers which many other hosting providers don't give you this for free
is their free premium migration this means that kinster's team will manually migrate your
website for you to kinser from another hosting provider for free this is an awesome free feature
to have kinsta has also partnered with key cdn to provide you a free solution for your cdn services
and another useful feature they have is the free daily automatic backups this is a must have and
i believe should always be free and included for you and kinster have done just that the next thing
i want to quickly mention is you can either go on the monthly plan or the yearly plan but just
a quick note that on the yearly plan you will get an equivalent of two months free so if you're sure
about kinsta and you want to move forward with them i suggest you pay the yearly plan because
once people buy hosting they don't tend to leave for a long time so it's an easy way of saving
money but if you're not satisfied there's always this 30 day money back guarantee anyway at the
start and you can get all your money back kinster also satisfies one of my other main criteria
with the caching plugins so kinster has a server-side caching already which does not
require you to have any cache plugins or custom plugins like wp rocket or even lightspeed cache
and they promise that this will be even faster than those plugins but there's only one way to
find out and that's to test it and i'm gonna do just that later on in this video so stay tuned
so now you just have to pick the plan that you think will suit you but in my test i'm just
gonna choose the starter plan the overall pricing score i would give kinster is a 9 out of 10 they
provide you all the expected features of a managed wordpress hosting provider they have server level
caching and the automatic daily backup is provided for free they also use google cloud platform which
theoretically should be faster than the standard digital ocean or vulture service but i'm still
going to test them out later in this video to really see if it lives up to expectations i did
take one mark off them as they are one of the more expensive managed wordpress web hosting providers
starting at 30 dollars per month for 25 000 visits and only one website is not cheap compared to
other managed wordpress providers this is just a quick note for you regarding my bonus offer if you
decide to pick up kinser through my link then just send me your receipt to bonus dot com dollar dot
com and i'll send you back access to my bonus course it's that easy and if you want my free
checklist on starting a successful blog then go to this link in the description to get access to that
recommendation overall i have given kinster an average score of 9.5 out of 10.
they really are the best web hosting provider i've tested overall they have unbelievable speeds with
a responsive and easy to navigate user interface and the customer support is top notch as well
you just can't beat that combination so this is my recommendation for you whether you're
a beginner or advanced user looking for the best overall hosting provider on the market i believe
kinster is a very worthy option that i think you should really consider however if you are
on a tight budget and can't afford to pay for managed wordpress hosting solution then i don't
think kinster is the right option for you instead you should be looking at a shared hosting option
now i think picking the right hosting provider is such an important step in your business so
you need to get this right and if after watching this review you think kinsta is not the right
hosting provider for you then i recommend you check out this hosting alternative but if you're
happy with kinster then go to this next video and i'll see you over in the next tutorial you
