Common questions
Kinsta's entry plan is $35/mo (or $29.17/mo billed annually) with a 35,000 visit cap. SrvBot is $29/mo flat with no visit caps, no bandwidth metering, and the same price at every renewal.
Kinsta's Google Cloud Premium Tier infrastructure is a genuine strength and among the fastest available. SrvBot focuses on reliable managed WordPress hosting for small businesses where fast is plenty good, rather than chasing benchmark wins.
We don't have a dedicated step-by-step Kinsta migration guide yet, but our team can walk you through it over chat and email. Standard WordPress exports work the same regardless of where the site lives.
