Kinsta is a polished product. But it charges for extra visits, charges extra for automatic plugin updates, and runs on shared Google Cloud. WP Pro Host gives you dedicated hardware, no overage charges, and plugin updates included from day one.
Kinsta's visit-based billing is the most common trigger for switching. Plans are metered — once you exceed your monthly visit allowance, every 1,000 additional visits generates an overage charge. For sites that run promotions, publish content that occasionally goes viral, or have natural seasonal peaks, unpredictable invoices become a recurring frustration. WP Pro Host has no visit metering on any plan, at any price point.
Plugin updates are the second issue. On Kinsta, automatic plugin and theme updates are a paid add-on at $3 per site a month. Without it, keeping plugins current is up to you. On WP Pro Host, plugin and theme updates are part of the service, tested on staging before they go live.
Kinsta runs on Google Cloud shared infrastructure. WP Pro Host runs on dedicated bare metal — a Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 128GB ECC RAM and NVMe RAID 1 storage, with no virtualisation layer and no shared neighbours. For sites where consistent performance under concurrent load matters, the infrastructure difference is significant.

No. We take a complete backup before beginning — files, database, media library, plugins, themes, and WooCommerce data if applicable. The migration runs against a copy, not the live site. If your site receives orders or form submissions during migration, we can perform a final database sync immediately before the DNS cutover.
