Kinsta Support — Making Hosting Experience a Breeze

Nowadays, WordPress hosting companies are offering amazing new features to attract new customers. They provide high performance, security, optimization, easy installation, and tons of other features. Along with these features, comes a great support team that helps you with any queries.

In fact, support is one of the key factors which I consider while selecting any product. Good support reflects how much a team values its customers. Many times, I chose a product with good support over an attractive product with no or less support. And I couldn’t be more satisfied. 💯

If you consider WordPress hosting companies, I’m a big fan of Kinsta support and love how they are pulling it off. Kinsta rocks a team of highly technical and talented support engineers. I was not disappointed even a single time by the support team ever since I shifted to Kinsta. 🤞

Today, I am going to talk about their incredible support team and also share my experience. I will also be talking about the different methods Kinsta uses to assist its customers. Previously, we have written more than five articles on Kinsta which you can check out here. Now without any further ado, let’s get started!

🎩 Incredible Support Engineers

Kinsta hires highly qualified WordPress developers and Linux engineers for its support. Most of the WordPress developers they hire are also regular WordPress core contributors. They know the internal working of WordPress and use their knowledge to help customers.

I remember once navigating the support engineers myself on one of my previous hosts to solve issues. It never happened with me on Kinsta. In fact, I got way more technical things resolved by the engineers at Kinsta, all without any hassle. And I was impressed. 💯

💬 24/7 Live Chat

To start immediately, the Kinsta support service offers a live chatbox for contacting their support staff. It is available to you 24/7 through their site. You can access this chatbox by clicking on the chat icon located at the lower right corner of your Kinsta dashboard.

Kinsta uses Intercom to make these live chats possible. This service allows Kinsta to let you share screenshots, links, code, snippets, and videos of the problem you may be facing. Providing you the right set of tools to communicate and resolve the issue.

Every time you have a conversation through the chatbox, a support ticket is generated at the backend. The ticket contains your conversation and is stored on Kinsta’s servers. It can be later accessed by other engineers when you contact them again. These tickets help engineers bring the process to speed and resolve your issue quickly.

✉️ Email Support

It might happen that sometimes, you get distracted or your connection drops during the chat. In that case, the customer support at Kinsta sends you an email if you do not reply to them within 5 minutes. The email contains the whole conversation you had with the operator.

You can also reply to the operator right from the email. Email replies are automatically included in the live chat conversation. So that when you come back to your Kinsta dashboard, you can see your whole conversation.

This is an extremely useful feature for the likes of me who gets distracted while discussing the problem with the support. In that case, this feature comes quite handy and is there to save the day. I get to respond to them when I get free and I don’t have to explain everything again. 🤞
