# Flywheel

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/hosting/flywheel/

Managed WordPress hosting aimed at freelancers and agencies, sold on annual plans metered by monthly visits, storage and bandwidth, with a Fastly-backed CDN.

## Who it suits

Freelancers and agencies running client sites, where the workflow tools and a Fastly CDN matter more than raw resource ceilings. Bandwidth is stated rather than described as unlimited, so the plan is legible.

Consider something else if The entry plan is one site at 25,000 visits and 50 GB of bandwidth. A single busy site outgrows the bandwidth line before the visit line, which is not the axis most managed hosts fail on.
