Hi, I’m just getting started on the 14-day free trial, and trying to understand which plan I will need. I have two questions:

1. Just me, creating my site for the first time, and flipping around the various Admin settings, I’ve already run up 250 page views. I got curious and clicked on two different pages, then clicked back to Admin, and it was up by 15 more page views. And I’m the only User! How are these page views calculated?

2. What happens if I run out of page views in mid-month? Is the site frozen in some way?
