A Kinsta Case Study
Contact Form 7, a leading WordPress plugin with over 200 million downloads, faced unexpectedly high hosting costs after its provider, WP Engine, flagged its traffic on a shared server and required a costly plan upgrade. This financial strain was exacerbated by the pandemic's economic impact, prompting its creator, Takayuki Miyoshi, to seek an alternative managed hosting solution from vendor Kinsta.
Kinsta implemented a seamless migration for Contact Form 7 to its managed WordPress hosting service. The solution resulted in a 66% reduction in annual hosting costs, from $6,624 to $2,250, and a significant increase in site speed. The customer was particularly impressed with Kinsta's performance, flexibility, and lack of shared hosting plans.
