@jonrichpen, CEO of @kinsta, says maintaining technical accuracy is far harder than maintaining editorial integrity when scaling content.
The real challenge is finding people who understand complex technology and can turn it into clear, engaging content.
Episode out soon. Stay tuned.

Isn't this funny? Someone last week posted that in 18 months, everyone will vibe code their own CMS you won't need WP.
Webdesignerdepot is saying "WordPress just refuses to die".
As of early 2026, WordPress continues to dominate the CMS market, powering over 60% of all websites with a known CMS.
We are seeing big projects built on WP. Every day.
I really enjoyed talking to @joyofwp on the Seriously, Bud? podcast. It was a really fun conversation that covers how I got into tech, how I met my wife, what I studied in college, and how I ended up as CEO @kinsta. Give it a listen! seriouslybud.com/episode/jon…

Hi, @jonrichpen here!
About 9 years ago, I joined Kinsta as a support engineer. Today, I’m stepping into the role of CEO.
Thank you for the trust you place in us every day. Here’s to staying true to what got us here and making it even stronger.

Almost every day, a new web agency joins Kinsta, some bringing over 500 client sites with them.
This level of trust is humbling and a direct result of our team's 13 years of relentless dedication to building the best platform. So proud of their amazing work! 🎉

Drupal --> WordPress
WordPress has officially replaced Drupal as CERN’s web content management system.
"WordPress represents a significant enhancement to our broader web presence, providing users with access to a powerful and modern system that prioritises responsiveness and accessibility alongside easy content creation."
👏🥳

I used to use a combination of @Siteground for low budget clients and @Kinsta for the ones who paid for premium hosting. However, I recently closed our Siteground account and moved all our clients to Kinsta (without charging them any extra) because it makes life so much easier for me due to the easy staging sites, backups, etc.

1️⃣ Cost-efficient

3️⃣ Flexible & scalable architecture
4️⃣ Secure
5️⃣ Huge plugin ecosystem
6️⃣ Future-ready 💪

There have been many debates about Self-hosting vs Serverless
Self-hosting
✅ fixed cost and cheaper
❌ setup time and maintenance
Serverless
✅ no setup, just works every time
❌ unexpected costs
I have been researching, and what if you could have the best of both?
You can with Sevalla as it has:
✅ ease and rapid setup
✅ fixed cost with no surprises
I'm trying out @sevalla_hosting for my new SaaS, give it a try also 👇

The Kinsta API is amazing. I just upgraded over 500 environments from PHP 8.0 to 8.3 in under 5 minutes! That was even slowed down. My bash script was running 5 threads concurrently.
