Myth: "Managed WordPress is worth it, no surprise bills"

Myth: "Managed WordPress is worth it, no surprise bills"
A $25/month managed plan capped at 25,000 visits. A single post hit Reddit; the site did 90,000 visits that month. The overage: $2/1,000 visits = $130 on top of the plan, auto-charged, for a single viral day. The host counted bots and prefetch as "visits." The customer's reward for a hit post was a 6x bill and a frantic email to upgrade tiers.
Follow the money: metering "visits" turns your best day into their best day.
Reality: when success triggers an overage charge, you're renting a meter, not a server.
