Hello,

I need some hosting advice for choosing between Kinsta and Cloudways for a high traffic project. Have anyone worked with both of them? Which one you think is better and why? Thanks!

I've not tried Kinsta, but I'm using Cloudways for all my projects and had no issues so far regarding traffic load.

Are you using Digital Ocean on them? Since, they removed Linode and Vultr. Does Digital Ocean works good?

Cloudways is acquired by Digital Ocean I think a year ago. You can expect the quality on DO. I'm using their Vultr plans.

I was using Cloudways a while back with no problems. I stopped using them when DO bought them and increased prices. IMHO WPEngine is better than Kinsta.

Cloudways is a better choice for tech/entertainment blogs because it’s scalable (Cloudways Autonomous), affordable, and has 116 data centers (Kinsta has 37), which can help boost local SEO in Indonesia. Users praise Cloudways for its ability to handle traffic spikes and flexibility, while Kinsta’s focus on WordPress support and simplicity make it great for beginners.
