The Kinsta Truth

When Customers Share Their Experiences

Kinsta has a new website design and claim many things, but what you say isn’t always what you do; they may promise the world, but be prepared for constant calls to upsell more expensive hosting and products when sales needs to hit their quota.

You sure about that?

Support Agents Helping 24/7...

Kinsta claims to have support agents helping clients 24/7, but not according to their website.

At Rocket.net, we provide 24/7/365 support with an average response time of just 41 seconds… and yes even our CEO jumps in to help!

Bold Claims

20% Faster Than *insert company here*

In almost every competitive analysis Kinsta publishes, they claim to be either 20%, 13%, 26%, or 29% faster than the competitor. It seems very farfetched that so many competitors would have such a common slowness compared to Kinsta.

In fact, in our testing we found quite the opposite. We actually found Rocket.net to be over 6x faster at 86ms TTFB compared to a 569ms TTFB according to SpeedVitals.

What Real Kinsta Customers Have To Say

Over the years, we’ve migrated many WordPress sites off of Kinsta.

Read what the feedback has been directly from our customers on Twitter and Trustpilot.

I Think at the end people will know which one is best, I have migrated almost 20 people out of WP Engine and Kinsta to Rocket.net and they all are surprised with performance.

Rahul SinghRahul Singh

As a former Kinsta customer, Rocket is by far the better choice in my experience. Easily the best customer support I’ve ever had with nearly instant (helpful) response every time.

Adam H.

“Identification and removal of infected plugins and themes.”

That’s their main process for malware removal. Malware is in the plugins? Just remove the plugin.

All I can say is, we’ve removed malware from many Kinsta sites. Never once for Rocket.

Thomas J. Raef

We moved from Kinsta to Rocket yesterday and have to say that it is superior when it comes to speed and performance. We did lowered our TTFB 10x, it’s insane!
The support is also world class, can’t thank Ben on Rocket enough. Had we known that Rocket was this good earlier, we would have changed a long time ago.
It’s worth every penny, thank’s again Rocket!!

Recently, we migrated to Rocket.net and brought all of our client sites over. We’ve done this a few times before and Rocket.net was painless, seamless, and quick. Customer support is the best we’ve ever seen.

The fastest woocommerce site migration I have ever experienced. From starting the chat until they migrated my site (including the NS propagation) takes only 30 minutes. Highly recommended!

They got my sites quickly migrated onto their servers and saw an instant speed increase from the old host for half the price and no restrictive php worker limits. Support is world-class and all of the team are very helpful and knowledgeable.
