Just wondering if I can try DevKinsta with my existing hosting company before making the leap to Kinsta. Is it possible to develop in DevKinsta, then upload / install the site on a different host, or must I use DevKinsta with Kinsta hosting?

Hi @pinetree5x, welcome to DevKinsta!

Copying your development site to Kinsta can be done with a few clicks but you’re free to migrate your development sites from DevKinsta using plugins like Migrate Guru or manually by exporting the database and files.

We don’t put any limitations on what you do with your site/where it goes after development!
