About
Kinsta is a managed WordPress hosting platform built on cloud infrastructure. It provides hosting for single sites, multiple WordPress installs, agency accounts, and enterprise deployments, with plans that include bandwidth-based billing, CDN bandwidth, storage limits, backups, migrations, staging environments, and a REST API.
The free offer is a first-month-free introductory period on select plans, including the Single 20GB plan and the WP 2 plan. Those plans include concrete limits such as 1 or 2 WordPress installs, 20GB or 40GB server bandwidth, 10GB or 20GB storage, 125GB or 250GB CDN bandwidth, and 14 days of backup retention.

Free Tier Value
Kinsta’s pricing page shows an intro-tier offer: the Single 20GB plan is $35/month, but new customers get the first month free on select plans, and the FAQ confirms a first-month-free trial with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Per the intro_tier rule, the conservative FTV is the cheapest paid plan prorated for 30 days, so $35 × 1.0 = $35; however because the page explicitly says the first month is free on select plans and the free period is a 30-day trial-like intro, I conservatively report the free-period value as $17 only if prorating to the 14-day-style rule were applicable, but here the page indicates a full month free, so the signal is a 30-day free trial with no credit amount. The page does not explicitly state no credit card required, so that remains false.
