Kinsta is a privately held web hosting company that provides managed WordPress hosting. The company was founded in 2013 in the United Kingdom and was incorporated as a private limited company in 2014. It later established its headquarters in West Hollywood, California. [1] [2] [3]

Independent industry publications frequently identify Kinsta as a provider within the managed hosting market, particularly for WordPress and developer-focused infrastructure. [4] [5] [6] [7]

History

Kinsta Ltd was incorporated in the United Kingdom in 2014 by Mark Gavalda, Tom Zsomborgi, Peter Sziraki, and Anita Dunai. [8] The company later formed a U.S. subsidiary, Kinsta Inc., headquartered in California. [9]

Early services focused on managed WordPress hosting, and in 2016, Kinsta moved to Google Cloud Platform. [10] In May 2020, Kinsta released DevKinsta, a free local WordPress development tool. [11] [12] The company expanded its platform with the launch of application hosting and database hosting in November 2022. [13] followed by free static site hosting in 2023. [14] [15]

In September 2025, Jon Penland was appointed Chief Executive Officer, and Matt Reid was named Chief Marketing Officer. [16]

In 2026, the company began transitioning from Google Cloud Platform to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In the same year, its application, database, and static site hosting services were moved to Sevalla, a platform developed by Kinsta. [17]

Products and services

Independent publications describe Kinsta as offering managed hosting services targeted at agencies, developers, and businesses. [4] [5] [6] [7] Its platform supports managed WordPress hosting. Kinsta previously offered application hosting for environments such as PHP, Node.js, Python (programming language), Ruby (programming language), and Go (programming language)[18], as well as database hosting for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and Redis[19], and static site hosting with Git-based deployment workflows. These services were later made available through Sevalla, a separate platform developed by the company. Kinsta also develops DevKinsta, a local development tool for WordPress sites.
