Nginx reverse proxy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nginx, pronounced \u201cengine-ex,\u201d is an open-source web server used as a reverse proxy<\/a>, HTTP cache, and load balancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s built to offer low memory usage and high concurrency. Rather than creating new processes for each web request, Nginx uses an asynchronous, event-driven approach where requests are handled in a single thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nginx supports the ability to load WordPress from a subdirectory while a separate website (WordPress or otherwise) loads at the root domain.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Nginx, one primary process can control multiple worker processes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redis cache<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker.\u00a0

At Kinsta, page caching is already built-in for all sites<\/a> running on our platform. However, some more dynamic sites do not make the best use of page caching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecommerce sites, membership sites, forums, discussion boards, blogs with extremely active comment sections, and other types of highly dynamic websites will benefit greatly by using Redis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redis cache allows for the reuse of cached objects rather than requiring the MySQL database<\/a> to be queried a second time for the same object.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reduces the load on a website\u2019s MySQL database, while simultaneously decreasing the response time of the site and increasing the site\u2019s ability to scale and handle additional traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automatic external backups<\/h3>\n\n\n

Save the hours spent performing individual manual external backups. Instead, automatically back up your site once per week or per month to either Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage.<\/p>\n\n\n

External backups can be configured for either a weekly or monthly frequency. You also have a choice between backing up your files only, database only, or both.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Kinsta external backups add-on feature gives you the ability to build off-site backups into your disaster recovery strategy<\/a> without having to configure complex plugins and connect to an external storage provider.

$2 per month for each site plus $1\/GB for external bandwidth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Automatic hourly and 6-hour backups<\/h3>\n\n\n

Do you have an ecommerce site, membership site, a news publication with an army of editors, or another type of continuously changing site?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Our hourly and 6-hour backup options could be a perfect fit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Rest assured that you can upgrade or downgrade this add-on at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n

These are additional restore points. When you have the hourly backups add-on enabled, automatic daily backups are still taken and available to restore.

FAQ<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
How do I set up the Nginx Reverse Proxy?<\/summary>\n

Please contact support<\/a> with the inquiry and they will help you with the reverse proxy setup.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Is there a discount on the Reverse Proxy for multiple sites?<\/summary>\n

This depends on the situation and the number of Reverse Proxies needed. Please contact support<\/a> with the inquiry.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Do I have to use your External Backups or can I use a plugin to offload backups?<\/summary>\n

External Backups are built into MyKinsta. All you have to do is add credentials and the system will handle the rest.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

What are the best use cases for adding Redis to a site?<\/summary>\n

Ecommerce sites, membership sites, forums, discussion boards, blogs with extremely active comment sections, and other types of highly dynamic websites will benefit greatly by using Redis.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

If I pay annually, does the disk space add-on get charged for the whole year also?<\/summary>\n

As with all addons (Unless you reach out and ASK <\/strong>for it to be billed annually), it will be billed monthly and the plan you are on will stay annual.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

If a plugin update fails, can I also roll back the plugin from the MyKinsta Dashboard?<\/summary>\n

Yes and no. We will not provide a button or other facility within the plugins\/themes page to do this. If users must revert a change because something unexpected happened or their site broke they can restore a backup, we create a backup when an update is performed.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

What Is Prorating?<\/summary>\n

When we prorate a service like Premium Staging Environment, it means you will be charged based on how long the service was in use for that initial month. For example, if you purchase a Premium Staging Environment in the middle of the month, then you will only be charged half price for that month. After that, the regular pricing model takes effect.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
