Who it suits.

WordPress sites that want each install in its own isolated container with a Cloudflare-backed CDN included, and a data centre chosen from thirty locations. Cron jobs run on the server rather than on page visits.

Consider something else if…

The entry plan is $35 a month for a single site, which is a large step up from shared hosting if you do not need the isolation.
