  "notes": "(read 2026-11-11 on pagely.com/pricing-signup, US dollars) Pagely sells managed WordPress hosting in six plans, all billed per month. StartPress costs $99 a month for 5 WordPress sites, 30 GB SSD storage, 50 GB bandwidth and 150 GB of PressCDN. DevPress costs $199 for 10 sites, 50 GB SSD, 100 GB bandwidth and 350 GB PressCDN. LitePress costs $299 for 15 sites, 50 GB SSD, 150 GB bandwidth and 500 GB PressCDN. The higher plans use a high-availability configuration: ProPress costs $499 for 35 sites, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 50 GB SSD; PowerPress costs $999 for 60 sites, 4 vCPU and 8 GB RAM; ScalePress costs $2500 and is sized to order. The page also shows higher crossed-out prices next to each plan ($199, $299, $375, $1249, $2249 and $3600), which we did not treat as the price. The page says pageviews and visitors are always free and every plan includes ticket and live-chat support. We did not see contract length, setup fees, refund terms or tax, and we did not open the order form.",
