Changelog
What changed: Kinsta added a sixth single-site tier (500GB server bandwidth / 750,000 visits) at $375/month, above the previous top tier (250GB/$290/month).
Why it matters: Gives high-traffic single-site owners a tier between the old top single-site plan and jumping to multi-site/Agency pricing.
Affects: Pricing — The Full Picture
What changed: Kinsta added a browser-based file manager to MyKinsta (Sites → [site] → Files) — view, edit, upload, move, copy, rename, and delete files without an SFTP client.
Why it matters: Lets site owners and agencies make quick file edits without setting up a separate FTP/SFTP client.
Affects: What Makes Kinsta Different, Kinsta vs WP Engine

What changed: Kinsta added a bot protection tool (beta) to MyKinsta (Sites → [site] → Bot Protection), with pre-configured presets, integrated into the Analytics dashboard.
Why it matters: Blocks bad bots and AI crawlers without manual rule-writing, at no extra cost — a feature WP Engine only offers via a paid add-on.
