## Which should you choose?

Pick Kinsta if WordPress sites that want each install in its own isolated container with a Cloudflare-backed CDN included, and a data centre chosen from thirty locations. Cron jobs run on the server rather than on page visits.

Pick Pressable if A single WordPress site that needs Automattic's own infrastructure and Jetpack Security included rather than bolted on, with hourly backups and a visit allowance rather than a CPU quota.

Consider something else: Kinsta — The entry plan is $35 a month for a single site, which is a large step up from shared hosting if you do not need the isolation.

Consider something else: Pressable — You want more than one install cheaply — the entry plan is one site, and the next tier triples the price. Billing is annual, so there is no low-commitment month to try it.
