Cloud & Web Hosting
Kinsta
Managed WordPress hosting with the server work handled for you.
Kinsta runs WordPress on Google Cloud infrastructure and handles caching, staging, backups and updates, which is why it costs more than shared hosting. Plans are metered by visits and storage rather than sold as unlimited, so a traffic spike can push you to the next tier.
