Stable Pricing
Flywheel increased their pricing on May 1 of 2019.
At BigScoots, our pricing has been transparent, as advertised and unchanged since 2010. We do not upsell for anything, we only ever offer accurate recommendations for your individual case based on real industry expertise. Over the 9 years in the premium managed hosting space, BigScoots has never once increased our pricing on any of our plans or services, while at the same time have increased the size of our offers and offered free upgrades to current clients as a result!

Say Goodbye To Overages
There has been cases with some popular bloggers who have been quick to point out how Flywheel counted bot traffic and charged for those overages. Despite this likely being an isolated incident, being transparent with our clients is always a main priority. We want to give our customers clear pricing that never needs revisiting. At BigScoots we spend incredibly large amounts of our own resources to allow our clients to avoid these types of overages.
All of our Fully Managed WordPress plans come with an estimated monthly visitor count far above our competitors, but we also never limit you in this way. Instead we welcome your growth with open arms, and effortlessly handle your traffic spikes and ever increasing page views without any interruption what so ever. We instead take averages among all of our clients and when plans far exceed those averages we open up a simple conversation to discuss your future growth. You never pay overages, you never run into resource ceilings, instead you can feel confident about focusing squarely on growing without a single concern towards your hosting service. When the time comes that a fair upgrade is necessary, you’ll have choices, never any overages and always a seamless upgrade available to you.
