Honestly, you'll struggle to find a cloud platform cheaper than cloudflare.

The $5/mo gets you 10 million dynamic requests (static assets are not included in this limit, so often a single pageview will be 1 dynamic request) and that would be across the whole workers product for your account, no extra pricing for extra websites, domains, or anything else like you'd see in most "wordpress hosting"

I run all my personal sites and client sites (one of them for a fortune 500 company) in the $5/mo plan, and the only time I went over that was when a client got hammered with malicious requests (and it was like $100)

Disclaimer: I have no relationship to cloudflare, I'm just a happy customer

I run a rust webserver on a €4 VPS from hetzner that serves 300M (million) requests a day. Way cheaper than doing that on _any_ "serverless" request-based platform, I think.

Care to share your multi-site strategy? I've been investigating ways to program billing alerts, which should alert me when bill is at xx%. There are a few ways, so that makes it more paletable. It just boils my blood when these big platforms don't offer it as a feature. THAT IS JUST PURE UNADULTERATED EVEIL, IT SOULD BE CRIMINAL REALLY!!
