Why teams switch
The reasons people leave Kinsta for us.
Most of it comes down to honest pricing, real speed, and not having to pay extra for the basics.
No visitor caps or overage bills
Kinsta meters monthly visitors and bills for overages. Our plans are unmetered, so a traffic spike doesn't show up on your next invoice.
Backups every 4 hours, kept 30 days
Kinsta runs daily backups. We snapshot every 4 hours, so a bad plugin update or accidental delete is at most four hours of lost work, not a full day.
Faster server response
Top-tier AMD Ryzen 9950X / Intel 14900K CPUs with LiteSpeed and Redis pre-tuned. Kinsta's 2025 full-year average TTFB was 459 ms across 19 US Pingdom locations (hostingstep.com). Our own TTFB on wptango.com sits around 124 ms - roughly a third of that.
Honest, dedicated hardware
We run our own hardware in two US datacenters (Equinix Dallas and FiberState Draper, UT), not rented cloud VMs. Less abstraction, more headroom, and prices that reflect it.
Managed WordPress hosting
Plans. Everything included.
Same fast platform, same US engineers, no server work. Pick the size that fits; the renewal price is the signup price.
