Multisite networks come with a unique set of challenges and obstacles that make scalability and uptime especially critical. If you’re using a shared, cheap, or unreliable hosting provider, the chances that your whole network will go down and become unreachable skyrocket.
The hosting provider you choose also influences how easy it is to set up and manage your WordPress sites. Every day we hear from clients who are curious to learn about what makes Kinsta unique, and are looking for a reliable, all-in-one solution for their WordPress Multisite setups.
That’s what we’ll answer here. We’ll discuss what distinguishes Kinsta from other WordPress hosting providers, and explore the benefits of using Kinsta as your Multisite hosting solution.
The Kinsta platform is built for performance, speed, and scalability
Unique infrastructure
Unlike other hosting providers, Kinsta doesn’t fall into any of the categories of traditional hosting, such as shared, VPS, or dedicated. Kinsta’s unique, powerful infrastructure was built from scratch to enable us to deliver unparalleled performance. Our platform is backed by the innovative technology and resources needed to support WordPress Multisite networks.
C2 machines from $60
Starting at just $60 per month, Kinsta Pro plans (and higher) include all the technical elements needed to seamlessly run and manage a WordPress Multisite network. Our latest generation C2 compute-optimized Google Cloud VMs enable our customers to see significant improvements in average response times.
Built around containers
We also use LXD-managed hosts and LXC software containers for every site hosted on our platform. This means that your entire network will have its own isolated container equipped with all the necessary resources, including MySQL, PHP, Linux, and Nginx.
Seamless site management
This is important because, unlike with traditional shared hosts, you won’t have to worry about sharing resources or your network being compromised. You can also launch a new WordPress Multisite quickly and directly from MyKinsta dashboard, which is our custom, intuitive portal designed for easy site management.
Incredible site performance
Our custom-compiled Linux packages and Nginx rulesets enable us to maximize the performance of your WordPress sites, as well as more than 30 different software packages and PHP extensions. Plus, our scalable infrastructure enables you to upgrade or downgrade with ease.
Data centers where you need them
For your Multisite network, you can choose from any of our 29 global data centers. This means you can strategically select any of our locations worldwide for your Multisite network to reduce network latency and ensure lightning-fast loading times.
Another way we can help optimize the speed and performance of your Multisite network is through our unique caching system. We use a variety of caching solutions to eliminate the need for external plugins or add-ons. This is particularly helpful when you’re managing multiple WordPress sites. To reduce server load and accelerate response times, we use Bytecode, Query cache, Page, and CDN cache, as well as support for Object cache if needed.
It's as though the folks at Kinsta tried every other hosting company and then thought to themselves "hmmm... what could we do better"? Everything about the product experience, the around the clock customer support and the useful content they produce makes for the best possible hosting experience.
But by far, the best thing is their infrastructure for managing the websites as well as how it is layered on top of the biggest and baddest ass hosting platform in the world, Google Cloud.
