Migrate from WP Engine to Kinsta for FREE (unlimited sites)

WP Engine is arguably the most well-known names in WordPress hosting. They have received several rounds of funding from outside investors, and they spend a lot of that on marketing.

It’s also worth noting that I don’t speak about their product lightly, as I was a WP Engine customer for a little over 4 years. While I hosted with WP Engine…

• they had some WordPress-specific features that were helpful
• their performance was okay, but nothing great
• they had very little competition at the time (2013-2016)
• their customer support was terrible

This article is still a work in progress, and I’ll eventually have a side-by-side comparison of WP Engine vs. Kinsta, but I’ll get right to the point. Kinsta blows them out of the water! Performance, security, support, features, price… Kinsta wins every single battle.

Kinsta also has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if they don’t blow you away with their platform & support, you can ask for a full refund. But trust me… you’ll be telling all your friends to switch too!

WP Engine vs. Kinsta Migrations

Kinsta doesn’t use an automated migration plugin like WP Engine. Automated migrations sometimes fail, and they don’t always move over all your information.

With Kinsta, you get a white-glove migration handled by an expert:

“You’ll be notified of your migration status by our team. Moving your site to Kinsta usually won’t incur any downtime, and we’ll help you inspect your migrated site prior to going live.”

I’ve personally worked with their support team on moving a site to their platform, and they are 100% hands-on. They help you with DNS records, setting up server-side redirects, even the best Cloudflare settings to use alongside their server caching to ensure optimal performance.

🚀 Kinsta is Faster than WP Engine

One of Kinsta’s customers manages over 100 sites, and he used to host with WP Engine. After switching to Kinsta, here’s what he had to say:

“Knowing that the simple migration to a Kinsta server will produce page load speeds that exceed those of WP Engine, a company known for speed, we feel great guaranteeing page load speed improvement for every client—no matter where they’ve been hosting. And more than 100 sites into that guarantee, we’ve never lost.”

I’ve experienced this first-hand as well. I currently host my company’s other website, escapecreative.com, with Kinsta, and it’s much faster than any WordPress site I’ve ever worked on. And in the past 10 years, I’ve hosted with WP Engine, SiteGround, Flywheel, MediaTemple & GoDaddy. Kinsta is noticeably faster than them all… not to mention a pleasure to work with any time I have a question.
