It was good while it lasted. Now they communicate that the free plans that they had extended to those who used them will not be available anymore. And they recommend me to go to the starter plan of 30 usd per month, and to the year it would go to 360 usd. (…) we will be deprecating our old free p…

That’s actually a very good option for even moderately active sites, and still good for very low volume new sites, thanks for sharing. Do they aggregate by all your sites - ie charge by account rather than domain? Can you then leverage your quota across several sites? (Which would essentially mak…
