<b>The shiny new host is burning runway</b>

Heard this week: a slick new managed-WP entrant launched with aggressive intro pricing and a generous free tier, and the math doesn't close without another funding round.

This is the land-grab phase. Burn venture money to buy market share, lock in sticky workloads, then reprice once switching costs are high enough. A source tells us the unit economics on their headline plan are underwater at current density.

Unconfirmed how long the runway lasts, but launch-pricing this loud rarely survives 18 months.

Watch this: enjoy the intro rate, but don't migrate a flagship client onto a host whose pricing is a customer-acquisition bet rather than a sustainable number. Keep your exit migration documented.
