Kinsta alternative
The Kinsta alternative that does not charge per site.
Kinsta prices its plans by the number of websites. On Netkeel you pay for the server, so 10 websites can cost $37/mo instead of $225/mo.

The maths
What your websites cost per month
| Netkeel | Kinsta | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 website | $9.50/mo | $35/mo |
| 5 websites | $19/mo | $115/mo |
| 10 websites | $37/mo | $225/mo |
| 20 websites | $69/mo | $340/mo |
| Redis on 1 website | Included | +$100/mo |
Netkeel column: an example Standard server (1, 2, 4 and 8 GB). How many sites fit depends on their traffic. Kinsta: Single 20GB, WP 5, WP 10 and WP 20 plans, monthly billing; Redis is a separate add-on at $100/mo per site.
Why people switch
What changes when you move to Netkeel.
No price per website
Add a website to a server and your bill stays the same.
No visit or bandwidth plans
Kinsta plans include 20–500 GB of bandwidth. Netkeel limits only the server's own resources.
Hourly billing
Pay for the hours a server runs, never more than its monthly price.
Redis without the $100 add-on
Kinsta charges $100/mo per site for Redis. On Netkeel it is one click per website, included.
SSH, SFTP and WP-CLI
Full developer access to every site, isolated per site.
