Use Cases

Host multiple client sites from one account with premium CDN at no cost
Deploy a global landing page with low-latency delivery across 260+ PoPs

Free Tier

100 static sites, 100GB bandwidth/month, custom domains, SSL

How to Maximize the Free Tier

Kinsta's free tier offers 100 static sites on a premium CDN — use this for client projects where performance matters. The 100GB bandwidth cap is per account, not per site, so distribute traffic across multiple sites if one gets popular. Skip Kinsta for anything needing server-side logic — it's purely static. Best paired with a free form backend like Web3Forms and a free database like Supabase.

Getting Started

Sign up → connect Git repo → select static site → deploy → add custom domain in dashboard → 260+ CDN points auto-configured.

Pros

  • CDN performance: 260+ Cloudflare CDN points provide excellent global delivery speeds on the free plan
  • Site count: 100 static sites on the free tier — extremely generous for developers managing multiple projects
  • Automatic SSL: Automatic SSL certificate provisioning and custom domain support for every site

Cons

  • No backend: No serverless functions, database, or backend capability — static hosting only
  • Bandwidth cap: 100GB bandwidth/month — restrictive for media-heavy sites compared to Cloudflare Pages' unlimited
  • Secondary focus: Kinsta's core business is WordPress hosting — the static hosting product feels like an afterthought
