Who it suits.
WordPress teams that deploy with Git rather than SFTP — GitPush works over SSH — and want bandwidth overages handled by a conversation rather than an automatic charge on shared plans.
Consider something else if…
Scripts must finish inside 60 seconds; the execution limit can be lowered but not raised.
