Stopped thinking about hosting entirely

Used monthly for 1–2 years

Our site drives most of our pipeline, so an outage is a real cost. Since moving we have had none, updates have never broken anything, and the two support tickets I have raised were answered by people who clearly know WordPress internals.

Pros

It just works. Staging and one-click push made our release process trivial.

Cons

Four times what we paid before. Justifiable for us, would not be for a hobby site.

Problems it solves

Removed WordPress maintenance from our team entirely.

Agency workflow is the real product

Used daily for 2+ years

Local to staging to production with a click, transferable installs for handover, and clients we can move onto their own billing. That workflow saves our team more hours a month than the price difference costs.

Pros

Best agency tooling in hosting. Support understands WordPress rather than servers.

Cons

Visit limits mean a client going viral generates an invoice conversation.

Left after a traffic spike bill

Used monthly for 6–12 months

A post did well and I exceeded my visit allowance twice in a quarter. The overage charges were more than my annual hosting elsewhere. Great platform, but the pricing model punishes exactly the success you are hoping for.

Pros

Genuinely fast and reliable while I was on it.

Cons

Visit-based billing is hostile to spiky traffic. Moved to Cloudways for predictability.
