The short version
Three reasons multi-site owners move to G7Cloud
Visit caps vs no caps
Kinsta plans include a monthly visit allowance; exceed it and you pay overage. On G7Cloud there is no visit metering on any plan: your best traffic month costs exactly what your quietest one does. Success should not raise your hosting bill.
Per site vs per plan
Kinsta starts at around $35/mo (about £27) for a single WordPress site, and each extra site costs more. G7Cloud Business is £24/mo for three sites of any supported type; Pro is £59/mo for ten. Multi-site owners feel this on the first invoice.
Hosting only vs whole platform
Kinsta does not host email or DNS; those are separate providers and separate bills. Every paid G7Cloud plan includes mailboxes with webmail and spam filtering, full DNS hosting, daily restore-tested backups, and the AI Website Builder for new projects.

Who should switch
Owners of more than one site
Per-site premium pricing is hard to justify across a portfolio. Three sites on G7Cloud Business cost £24/mo total, with email and DNS for each of them included.
Growing sites near their visit cap
If you check your visit usage before running a campaign, the meter is shaping your marketing. Unmetered fixed pricing removes that calculation entirely.
UK businesses that want UK billing
Fixed GBP prices with no exchange-rate drift, UK infrastructure for UK audiences, and support from the engineers who run the platform.
