Kamatera Review

That's right, Kamatera gives new customers FREE access to high-quality VPS hosting for 30 days.

Upgrade your bargain-basement shared hosting to a cloud server configured to your exact specifications for no cost. Site owners simply need to configure their cloud environment to the storage, RAM, and CPU requirements their project requires — as long as the modifications are less than $100 per month, you can use the VPS server for free.

Regardless, Kamatera pricing (which starts at less than $5 per month) is among the most budget-friendly you'll see when it comes to looking for an affordable VPS plan. However, Kamatera's cloud platform will look and operate much differently than several other low-cost services you'll expect to find.

Cheap hosting typically means shared hosting, which generally comes with a free domain name and SSL certificate, along with unlimited email inboxes and tons of other perks.

On the other side, Kamatera's cloud computing technology is available as a purely à la carte service — to the point where you'll even need to choose which operating system you'd like to use.

There's no free domain, no SSL certificate, no library of one-click installation scripts. Adding cPanel or Plesk unlocks many of these options, as well as database and email configuration wizards, but adding that service quickly runs up the price tag.

Otherwise, you'll need to acquire those critical components from another organization. All in all, developers and adventurous beginners will be perfectly served with this affordable — and still powerful — cloud service provider. First-time site owners, however, might want to start elsewhere.

Backed by cutting-edge cloud computing technology, Kamatera adds instant and limitless scalability to the VPS hosting marketplace.

Each cloud or virtual server is equipped with blazing-fast SSD storage and Intel Xeon Platinum CPUs. By leveraging a cloud network, the VPS host can promise higher availability rates than most competitors. In fact, Kamatera services come with a 99.95% uptime guarantee.

The VPS host enables site owners and application developers to customize their environment by selecting how much disk space, memory, bandwidth, and processing power they need. You can even choose from roughly 60 operating system versions, including CentOS, Debian, FreeBSD, and Windows Server.

Kamatera customers can even choose to add cPanel or Plesk, along with picking a data center location from a list of 24 facilities spread across three continents.

That granular flexibility, paired with the cloud service provider's innate scalability and dedication to performance, make Kamatera a fantastic choice. Be sure to check out the provider's managed cloud service for enhanced optimizations and support.

Residing in a happy spot between shared hosting and a managed server, Kamatera's WordPress hosting solution brings the best of both worlds to the popular open-source content management system.

While the hosting company's cloud servers aren't as inherently optimized or managed as closely as other top tier WordPress hosting specialists, more experienced site owners will seriously appreciate the web host's all-SSD infrastructure. Kamatera's platform is built on redundant cloud environments with modern, instantly scalable resources.

Website owners have fine-grain control over every aspect of their cloud environment, including the ability to choose Kamatera's WordPress server image to get the CMS pre-installed for a quick launch.

From operating system to PHP version and database system, Kamatera is sure to meet your WordPress project's specific needs — and the hosting company's 30-day free trial pairs well with the free WordPress software to help with proof of concept.

Kamatera offers basic 24/7 support, but you may want to add an extra layer of managed services to help keep your WordPress environment operating smoothly. The host's experts will troubleshoot any glitches and ensure you're running the most up-to-date versions of software.
