2024 has been a busy year for Kinsta, as the web hosting provider has been rolling out one new feature after another over the past few months.

Today, we take a look at some of the best new features and upgrades you’ll receive when hosting your website at Kinsta in 2025.

Since our site is also hosted at Kinsta, we are just as excited as you are about these new features. Let’s dive in and see what’s new.

Why We Use Kinsta

Kinsta is well-known for providing the industry’s best performance and features for hosting websites. Especially when it comes to managed WordPress hosting, there’s no other platform that compares to Kinsta.

Above all, we appreciate how Kinsta continues to improve its systems and features to better serve its customers. As you can see from the changelog, Kinsta has rolled out at least a few new improvements almost every month in 2024.

Unlike most other hosting providers, Kinsta doesn’t take its status for granted. The platform continues to improve and find ways to make its services better than ever. And that’s the main reason we chose Kinsta to host Design Shack. So far, we have no regrets!

Refreshed Plans with Boosted Resources

One of the biggest changes you’ll notice at Kinsta in 2025 is the refreshed and improved hosting plans. Kinsta not only renamed the plans but also increased the resource allocations for each package as well.

Kinsta now offers hosting under two main plans: Single-site and Multiple-site. The plans can be customized according to the number of websites you plan on hosting or the visitors your site receives.

The resource allocations for each plan have been boosted by a significant amount, including increased visitor thresholds and higher CDN bandwidth limits.

On top of that, Kinsta is now offering new customers a free trial to try out the services for free for a month on selected plans.

WordPress Site Add-Ons

A common problem with most hosting providers is the limitations on the number of websites you are allowed to host in each plan. If you want to host an additional website, you usually have to upgrade to a much more expensive pricing plan.

Kinsta has introduced a solution to this problem with WordPress Site Add-on. With this new feature, you can easily add an additional WordPress site to your existing pricing plan for an extra $30 per month.

Big Performance Boost for Everyone

Another important update Kinsta received in 2024 was the hosting infrastructure upgrade. Kinsta hosting is now powered by Google’s latest C3D machines!

According to Kinsta, the websites hosted on the new C3D machines perform much faster than the previous machine type. It offers significantly reduced response times even for uncached PHP pages.

Kinsta is offering this new upgraded hosting for all clients in data center locations where the C3D machines are currently available.

ISO 27001 Certified for Security and Privacy

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized certification only awarded to companies that adhere to exceptional security and privacy standards. Kinsta has been able to achieve the ISO 27001, 27017, and 27018 certifications as recognition of meeting the security standards for cloud computing set by the ISO.

This is a massive achievement for Kinsta to solidify its authority as one of the most secure and privacy-friendly hosting providers in the industry.

Unlimited Free Migrations

If you have a website hosted on a different hosting provider, you can now easily move it over to Kinsta for free. Previously, Kinsta charged a fee for repeating migrations and also had basic and premium tiers for different types of migrations. Now, it’s all free!

If you want to fast-track your migration, Kinsta offers an expedited migration option for $49, which promises to move the site over to Kinsta within eight hours.

Additionally, the platform will also perform a free malware cleanup on your site content, just in case it was affected by a hack or malware attack.

MyKinsta Upgrades

MyKinsta, the user dashboard for managing your hosting plan, has been upgraded with a few new features. You can now perform bulk actions directly from the MyKinsta dashboard, for performing various tasks in bulk like updating all the plugins and themes at once.

The WordPress site staging and SFTP/SSH management have also been simplified to help you manage all your site developments with ease.

Simpler PHP Management

Kinsta has released a new PHP Management tool to give full control over the PHP performance to customers. Using this new tool, you can allocate PHP Threads (processes that execute the PHP code) and set memory limits to achieve the best performance for your most important websites.

This means you will no longer have to deal with “500 Internal Server Error” messages for running out of memory.

In Conclusion

All of these new options, boosted resources, and hosting improvements come to you on top of the existing features available at Kinsta.

Powered by the new Google Cloud C3D machines, EdgeCaching, faster PHP, CDN, ISO-certified security, and 37 data centers to choose from, Kinsta is the most reliable choice for hosting WordPress websites in 2025. And now, you can try it out for free with its free first-month trial.
