This morning I got an email from WordPress saying that they have billed my Business Plan which was on an auto-renew - 300€. I contacted them to have it refunded and knocked back down to a Premium Plan instead. They said it will take "up to 2 card billing cycles for it to be credited", which is crazy. However, that is not on them it seems and they actually were polite and efficient in their support.
The reason I upgraded to WordPress Business in the first place was because it was the only way to be able to install plugins and I wanted to use @SteemPress-io, which is 
I signed up for the WordPress business plan in what can only be considered haste as it was during this time last year where my daughter was in hospital with health issues, I was sleep deprived and, didn't do any research. I found out later that there were much, much cheaper options available for hosting that would still allow me to use SteemPress. By the time I heard this, it was too late to revert my subscription.
My question is,
what is a good WordPress host that allows for the SteemPress plugin? Now that it has been a year and people have had experience with it, I am hoping that the wisdom of the crowd can help me find a decent hosting service that is relatively cheap and simple to use and manage. Any ideas?
Expanding the borders
How I see it is that all of these little channels into Steem like @SteemPress, @SteemOnboarding, @Steemmonsters, @Steemhunt and the like will slowly expand their presence and converge streams to become a flood of activity in the future. The more externally inclusive they are, the more intertwined Steem and life activities become and, the more development takes place to cater for the growing ecosystem, which in turn expands the borders again.
So anyway, if anyone who has experience with WordPress alternatives can drop a comment or if you prefer, contact me on discord (tarazkp #5792), it would be very much appreciated so I can get up and SteemPressing-ing again soon.
