DevKinsta2.13.6

Create, develop, test, and prepare WordPress sites on your own computer with DevKinsta, then send finished sites directly to Kinsta when they are ready to go live. It supports both single-site and Multisite WordPress installations, setting them up with Nginx, MariaDB, and related components through a single action.

Local database and email management tools let developers build themes, plugins, and custom sites without working against a live installation. Docker containerization keeps each local WordPress site isolated and secured, while the environment is designed for near-native performance with a lower resource footprint than VirtualBox-based setups.

Agencies can copy client sites locally, test plugin and theme updates before they affect production, and push approved changes to Kinsta with one click. Developers can also clone local sites as starting points for additional projects or use them to experiment safely, making DevKinsta useful for freelancers, web designers, and WordPress development teams.

DevKinsta is freeware for macOS, and the current 2.13.6 build supports Apple Silicon (arm64); the suite is also offered for Windows and Ubuntu. Its Kinsta connection is particularly useful for teams whose deployment workflow already uses Kinsta servers, while local site creation and management remain available for development and testing.
