knownhost review – Thoughts about is this best WordPress hosting

Thoughts on KnownHost? Their speeds are performing really fast in compared to kinsta and WPX. Wonder why people are not talking about them more? or just people never tried em?

 

Answers:

This is such an unreliable test I wouldn’t try to pick an hosting based on it. Those speeds are prob not an average, those speeds are prob to different locations, etc. Try to get some professional benchmark data.

i mean you can argue this, but facts are facts. Its being recorded every 30 minutes 24 hours a day from the same server. I think thats why hostgator hates me.

I’m not arguing anything just telling the facts. You didn’t include any relevant information, from where are you testing. Which locations are you testing (where are the servers located your are doing the test to). How are you measuring the speed. What kind of site are you testing this to, is it optimized in any way? Do you have CF or any other CDN active? Do you have any form of Caching enabled on any of those sites?
I can go on, your comparison and statements are meaningless and should be removed by the admins.
P.s: I don’t care about any of the providers you tested, just giving facts.

Is this data online somewhere for us to compare? How many other hosts are on the list?

 

recording the websites with pingdom, you can visit the websites to see for yourself, they are the same size template.

So that KnownHost is 1.25s and WPX is 793ms? how’s that fast in comparison?

pretty close, half a second is impossible to see with the human eye

When are you going to do one on gridpane dude? Let’s get it happening .

ever heard of them, i personally dont like sticking out my neck for companies unless they have been established and been in the hosting game for a while.

you need to check them out brother. I’ve been with them for a year & they’re changing the game for WordPress users. I can spin up a fresh vps in minutes and install sites using Linode, DO, AWS, Vultr. Go reach out to Patrick in the Gridpane users group. Awesome developers, hands on and actually talk to you.

I’ve never heard of you either but I won’t hold that against you.We launched in 2018. We have clients in 77 countries. We competed head to head with Pantheon and Kinsta and WP VIP this year in the ReviewSignal Enterprise benchmark.

How does Cloudways compare speed wise to these?

Cloudways performance is going to depend a lot on the server provider you chose.

KnownHost is very decent and their support is excellent. They’ve been around for many years,one of the best managed wordpress hosting

Never heard of them. Such an ironic name though.

These site speeds are comparisons from apples to oranges to grapes.

Careful it might a poser account.

I have used them in past and they were good.There are many such hosting companies.. RShosting is equally fast like Knownhost but people tend to choose based on brands.
