I started an online media business and it was imperative my website was both fast and secure. Additionally, whilst the business is small at present I wanted the ability to scale for when it grows. I did my research and after originally going with another host who completely screwed up the transfer from my domain registrar I decided to give Kinsta a chance.

Kinsta facilitated the transfer on my behalf as part of the monthly fee - no need for plugins or a guided tour, it was done manually on my behalf.

My website is insanely fast - just like a professional website should be. After my first week of going live I realised there was an issue with my Google Analytics setup and I had no access to website visitors - thank God Kinsta had a unique visitor counter as part of the dashboard.

There are so many premium features that come included with Kinsta hosting such as regular automatic backups and an offer to fix a website should it be hacked. The amount of educational material on their website and also the number of other major websites that use Kinsta hosting also helped secure my decision.

I would have appreciated a little more website capacity as far as visitors are concerned and considering the price I think email should be included but G-Suite is less than $10 a month and I will likely need to upgrade to the next plan soon anyway.

I would absolutely recommend Kinsta and can't see myself changing hosting providers within the next 5 to 10 years. I am considering pre-paying a few years of hosting in order to take advantage of their discounted rates.
