Kinsta WordPress Hosting
Slow Websites Suck. Don't Be Sucky.
Kinsta is my preferred vendor for hosting Voxel websites.
I trust Kinsta with my own websites and client websites that I manage. See my walkthrough video below for a behind-the-scenes look at this powerful combo.

Features
Kinsta is powered by the Google Cloud Platform and its global data centers, providing the same quality network that powers Google Search, Gmail, and YouTube.
Everything is interconnected over a premium-tier network designed to provide the fastest and most secure transport of your data.
Kinsta also uses Google’s highest capacity machines, which along with their premium network, are ready to scale any web application.
Kinsta does not offer discounts, but I found a way to help you save money on this industry-leading managed WordPress hosting and get the power you could only get if you sign up for Kinsta’s Enterprise 3 plan ($1,350 /month).
- Non-Club Members: $30/month per site.
- Premium Members: $28/month per site.
- Elite Members: $26/month per site.
- Ultimate Members: $24/month per site.
Voxel websites require more resources when it comes to PHP, and this is due to several factors.
- Voxel websites are highly dynamic.
- Voxel requires Elementor.
You need a minimum of 4 PHP workers to run a Voxel website, which would cost you $100 per month if you purchased your own Kinsta plan.
On the Club’s Kinsta plan, you will automatically get enterprise-level PHP workers (12 workers). This would cost you at least $1,200 per month if you purchased your own Kinsta plan.
Voxel websites require more resources when it comes to PHP, and this is due to several factors.
- Voxel websites are highly dynamic.
- Voxel requires Elementor.
Unless you spend a minimum of $600 for your own Kinsta Enterprise plan, you will be limited to a max PHP memory allocation of 256M.
If you’re on the Club’s Kinsta plan, you can request enterprise-level PHP allocations using Kinsta’s support chat.
Kinsta uses state-of-the-art technology like Nginx, cutting-edge PHP versioning, LXD software containers, MariaDB, and compute-optimized VMs to make sure your website loads in the blink of an eye, with complete resource isolation, automatic scalability, and high availability.
Sometimes stuff happens, and when it does, you will have instant and direct access (24/7) to Kinsta’s premier support team.
I’m available during regular business hours (Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST).
Kinsta should always be your first line of contact.
You get full access to your hosting panel, meaning you are not locked into anything and are free to leave at any point.
Say goodbye to clunky, dated cPanels and say hello to a simplified yet very powerful interface for managing your website.
Moving your site to Kinsta will not cause downtime, and their expert migration team will take care of everything for you.
Kinsta provides security certificates for free, so your website is immediately and automatically secured going forward.
You get a secure firewall powered by Cloudflare, active and passive measures to stop attacks and malicious intent in its tracks, continuous monitoring for uptime, DDoS protection and mitigation, software-based restrictions, SSL support, and hardware firewalls.
Kinsta’s Cloudflare Enterprise integration gives you a complete suite of technologies and tools for a faster and more secure website.
You can clone your production website to try new solutions, troubleshoot issues, provide access to support, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Click here to see the breakdown.
There is no catch. I’m not here to trick you into buying something.
My goal has always been to help people obtain top-notch hosting that might be otherwise out of reach, giving every Voxel website project the best chance of succeeding.
Most likely, nothing. The limits included in the Club’s plan are spread out amongst all the sites.
If any website is grossly exceeding the limits, it’s my job to monitor this and to keep it under control so that everyone on the plan has their hosting investment protected.
Monthly Visits
Let’s say a website or multiple websites surpass their monthly visit limit. No problem! It’s going to average out. Monthly visits should never be an issue, but if it is, that’s good news, as that means some businesses are doing exceptionally well with generating traffic. If/when a website starts to near the 20,000 visit limit, we will reach out to see if this traffic is legitimate and take additional steps if needed.
Disk Space Usage
This is a bit different than Monthly Visits in that Disk Space Usage typically increases, so I monitor this closely. If/when a website starts to near the 5 GB Disk Space limit, I will reach out to see what we can do about clearing up some space, and you also have the option of purchasing extra disk space.
No. Every website gets dedicated resources, remaining completely separate from all other websites on the Club’s plan.
Yes. You will get admin access to your own Kinsta dashboard and direct access to 24/7 Kinsta support.
All I’m doing here is helping you get a significant discount. 👍
Yes. Kinsta has partnered with Cloudflare to bring their Enterprise plan (worth $200 /month per site) to every website hosted under Kinsta.
I recommend implementing a full Cloudflare account (Free) to go along with Kinta’s integration to have more control and take advantage of all the features Cloudflare has to offer.
No. Implementing a full Cloudflare account (Free) is a better option for managing your DNS, providing the fastest DNS services while giving you full control.
I’m not asking you to do anything I’m not doing myself, which is to say that I, too, set up a full Cloudflare account for every website I own, and I don’t use Kinsta’s DNS.
You bet!
You can purchase Kinsta Premium Staging from the Club.
I’ll pass my costs from Kinsta on to you. No markups!
Yep!
You can purchase Kinsta Disk Add-ons (20 GB) from the Club.
I’ll pass my costs from Kinsta on to you. No markups!
It depends. If you have a site that deals with CBD or any other content that might be deemed as “questionable”, it’s best to jump on a quick chat with Kinsta to get confirmation.
Please note that I cannot answer this question for you. Only Kinsta can.
Yes. Theoretically. However, it is not a pretty scenario, and that’s due to the limitations of WordPress.com rather than Kinsta.

Migrating WordPress.com Sites
For WordPress.com migrations, we cannot do a traditional migration because WordPress.com does not allow access to the site files or the database. We are only able to export your WordPress content such as posts, pages, comments, meta tags, etc, and import them into a new WordPress installation on our platform.The above does not include moving over your WordPress theme, any of your WordPress plugins, or any other customizations that you might have made over at WordPress.com. This means that your site will not look exactly as it does at WordPress.com
After the migration, you or your web developer will need to re-install the theme and plugins and make any customizations again that you made at WordPress.com so that your site will match exactly.
So, what does all this mean exactly?
It means I can help you migrate, but there would be an hourly charge for helping you get your website over to Kinsta.
A deep scan of all site files occurs during the migration process, and if it is determined that your website is infected, the migration will be paused, giving you two options.
- Proceed with the migration, have Kinsta remove the infection, and a $100 malware removal fee may apply.
- Cancel the migration, work with a third party to repair the hacked website, and reschedule the migration.
Please note that I do not offer services to fixed hacked websites.
My recommendation is to have Kinsta do the cleanup for you.
You can benefit from Kinsta’s Security Pledge. If your WordPress site is hacked while hosted at Kinsta, they will work with you (for free) to try and undo the damage.
Absolutely! While Kinsta is your first line of support for issues related to hosting, I offer Voxel Website Care and Voxel Website Support, where I can work directly with Kinsta on your behalf.
You always have direct access to Kinsta’s support 24/7; their support is all you need unless you are (or want to be) my client.
I maintain a policy of no refunds due to the month-to-month, cancel-anytime nature of this offering.
No. I’m a customer and advocate for the Voxel theme.
Great! The process is really simple, and I’ve got your back!
- Sign up for the Club’s Kinsta WordPress Hosting plan.
- Follow the instructions in your order email to complete the Kinsta onboarding process.
- Cancel your old hosting account once you’re happy with your migration and enjoy a better-performing website!
