01.

Who it suits.

Shared hosting with Git available over SSH and a visual interface on top, across eleven data centre locations. Cron jobs are configured in Site Tools.

Consider something else if…

Dynamic page caching on the CDN requires the paid Premium tier, and the advertised price is introductory on a prepaid annual term.
