Kinsta

What a cool feature. Congratulations Kinsta team for creating this generous service. Don't get it why is it so low in the Top. Where are the developers? This is a Top 3 product, even higher. Hope it gets there. Congratulations for the launch

Great services and support.

I am a giant fan of Kinsta. From start to finish Kinsta is awesome and keeps getting better. The relatively low cost of an annual plan includes so much value (Cloudflare integration, early hints, edge caching, and more) that it almost feels too good to be true. Plus, 24/7 live chat support is stellar.

Not bad but I don't like the logo ,it looks like K

DevKinsta is a GREAT app for local WordPress testing, screenshots, and development! I have used "Local" for years. It's also pretty good, but always had issues with temp domains that would stop working, and lack of SSL for testing or product education screenshots for PayPal or Stripe related plugins. I noticed one day that Kinsta has a similar app (DevKinsta). It works way better for me. Domains work smoother, and the SSL features are great. They solved the issues I was having. "Local" is more well-known, but DevKinsta is just as good feature for features, and I think better with domains/SSL. The install process is a bit more complex, you have to install Docker, but that's fine with me. Full disclosure, I do now work for Kinsta, but had been using it before I interviewed or began working with them.

Great hosting provider.

Go Kinsta go!

I'm a big fan of Kinsta, the hosting, and the people that run it. Tried DevKinsta and it is an excellent local WordPress development tool. Especially the fact that local dev sync with Kinsta is now extremely easy. I also plan to review it. Thanks for putting in all the effort y'all.

I was lucky enough to test this out before the release. A couple of teething issues that were might I add my fault! Being able to pull sites hosted with Kinsta, push them to staging, and create a local environment has made my life soooooo much easier. Reviewing plugins/themes and endlessly putting them on domains is now a thing of the past. Even if you're not hosting with Kinsta, I'd recommend the tool. Nice one, people, another string to your bow!

Soooo... tried to install this on Windows today. What a complete pain that is compared to software like Local. Running into the following roadblocks during/after install. 1) Docker Desktop - Requires Logout. You need to log out of Windows then your "docker-users" membership will be take into account So I restarted. Then I get... 2) WSL2 is not installed. Install WSL using this PowerShell script (in an administrative PowerShell) and restart your computer before using Docker Desktop: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName $("VirtualMachinePlatform", "Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux"). Which requires ANOTHER restart. After which I get... 3) WSL 2 installation is incomplete. The WSL 2 Linux kernel is now installed using a separate MSI update package. Please click the link and follow the instructions to install the kernel update: https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel. Press Restart after install the Linux kernel. Thanks, I hate it. -___-; The average user who's wanting to do local development is not going to want to jump through all these hoops. Hell, lots of them won't know/be comfortable opening up Powershell to make changes. Speaking of which, how do I revert that because I want to uninstall this mess. :(
