If your site exceeds its visit, storage, or CDN limits, it will remain online. We’ll notify you at 80% and 100% of usage and apply overage fees based on your actual overage. You can view the complete breakdown of overage fees, and we also offer a disk space add-on if you need more storage without upgrading your plan.

Each unique IP address that visits your site within a 24-hour period counts as one visit. The total number of visits across your sites in a month determines your plan usage. See the full details here.

Each plan includes a set number of WordPress installs. For example, the Single 35k plan supports 1 site, while the WP2 plan supports 2 sites. To host more sites, you can upgrade to a higher-tier plan that includes additional installs.
