I think I’ve been unconsciously negatively prioritizing traffic growth on ribbonfarm. The marginal cost of traffic (overages on my hosting plan) is not worth the marginal value of new readers. It’s a kind of stock buyback. Growth without a good idea driving it is a net liability.

Err... yes? Don’t see the joke. Managed Wordpress is sold by bandwidth tier. The alternative is either low/no control, getting in bed with Medium, or wasting a lot of time on admin. wpengine.com/plans/

It’s only low in the value chain at very low traffic. You give up a good deal of power/control in return for “free” bandwidth on those services. I actually prefer the legibility of unbundled services. Aligns incentives correctly for them to do the management part right.

have you considered netlify? the work to convert to a static build tool may not be worth the future cost savings, but their pricing / service is pretty great imo

Been playing with it to explore exactly such options. I think it’s the future. Just not here yet.
where do you see the biggest holes for your current need?
