Flywheel review

Flywheel is built for people who make WordPress sites for others. Starter costs $25 per month, billed $300 per year, and covers one site with 25,000 monthly visits, 10GB of storage and 50GB of bandwidth. Its workflow tools are the draw: Blueprints save a site's theme and plugins as a reusable starting point, Organizations let a team create and push sites, billing transfer moves a finished site and its invoices to a client, and staging sites let you test changes. Hosting features include nightly backups kept for 30 days, a Fastly-powered CDN, FlyCache, free SSL, auto-healing and plugin security alerts, and every plan includes 10 StudioPress themes and the Genesis Framework. Extra sites cost $20 per month each. Flywheel ranks last because its entry plan has the lowest visit allowance among the managed hosts here and the next tier, Freelance, costs $96 per month.
