Servebolt vs. Kinsta

While others try to add more components to their hosting to make it go faster, we decided to build our hosting cloud fast from the ground up. We did so by stripping out everything we knew was deadweight. Our hosting is amazingly fast, without the use of complicated HTML caching strategies, cache in memory and so on. Instead, our platform makes sure both cached and uncached requests are immediate. And of course, this applies to the back-end as well.

The primary reason customers prefer us over Kinsta is our unmatched performance. Websites migrated from Kinsta experience loading times that are 2 to 8 times faster just by moving to the Servebolt Cloud.

While Kinsta likes to keep their users with restricted PHP workers, we believe we shouldn’t limit you in any way in making your website successful at all times. Uncapped PHP workers allow for all of your site’s features to always get processed fast without any price hikes.

Kinsta includes two PHP workers in their Starter plan. That’s perfect for a brochure site, but if your site grows in complexity, two is not enough. The result is slow speeds, higher bounce rates, and bad gateways.

Unlike any other solution out there, our WooCommerce managed hosting focuses entirely on those components that are significant for unmatched performance and true scalability.

We distinctly understand what is needed to scale a WooCommerce environment truly. Every single component in our Servebolt Cloud– both hardware and software is optimized to deliver the optimum results for your online store.

To Kinsta, WordPress and WooCommerce are the same. There are no WooCommerce-specific optimizations, which is a problem.

WooCommerce requires more PHP workers and storage than WordPress. Kinsta does not accommodate these needs, which means you’re risking revenue.

At Servebolt, we offer raw performance at the origin server, giving you just the edge you need to scale your site at the points where it’s needed the most.
Our predictable pricing and leading price-to-performance ratio contribute to an ROI. All plans are customizable with add-ons for all your needs. More storage, requests, memory limit or production sites can be added in seconds. Allowing your to pay for what you need, and scale your operation easily.

Should your website enjoy a surge in growth, be aware that Kinsta may impose additional charges, with potential requests for immediate payment.

If you’re considering upgrading your Kinsta plan to mitigate these fees, that’s certainly an option! However, keep in mind that the new plan may cost at least double your original plan, and could even exceed that amount.

Save time and money by utilizing Servebolt’s free and straightforward transfer service, managed by an expert engineer. Our experienced migration team is fully equipped to handle complex migrations seamlessly, enhancing our service offerings even further. You can rely on us for exceptional support and service.

In contrast, Kinsta only offers a limited number of done-for-you migrations with each plan, meaning you need to fiddle with different plugins.

When you have an issue, getting it resolved quickly and correctly can be the difference between a successful or unsuccessful project. When evaluating a WordPress digital experience provider, it’s important to consider aspects like hours of available support, support limitations, and response and resolution time. 

Servebolt knows WordPress inside and out. But we are not limited to that. Our engineers provide immediate help, working with you to diagnose issues and provide specific recommendations for your PHP & MySQL applications.

Fast, friendly solutions from experts are a chat away. From onboarding to going live and beyond, we’re here for you every step of the way. With an impressive CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) score of 98.8% over the past 12 months, it’s clear that we are committed to providing top-notch support. Our median response time of just 1 minute and 4 seconds ensures that our customers receive rapid assistance. 

Kinsta takes pride in offering round-the-clock support, although it follows a tiered system for assistance. For access to specialized help, upgrading your plan or patiently waiting in line may be necessary.

Support is exclusively available via chat, which, while convenient, can become challenging for intricate issues that require detailed explanations. Moreover, Kinsta does not maintain a ticketing system; this means recurring problems may require you to reiterate your concerns without a reference point.
