To support that model, we created an <strong>account-based plan<\/strong> where resources are pooled across all sites, allowing usage to be shared instead of managed site by site.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <strong>ABC Bakery<\/strong> might only need 10GB of bandwidth, while <strong>XYZ Barber<\/strong> might use 250GB. Even though their usage is very different, you charge both clients the same fee. The Agency Bundle is designed exactly for this scenario.<\/p>\n<p>If you manage <strong>40 or more sites<\/strong>, the Agency Bundle gives you the flexibility to balance resources across your entire account without worrying about per-site limits.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also fully global. If you have a client in Australia and another in the USA, you can deploy each site in its optimal geo-region. Your Agency Bundle pricing stays the same because it&#8217;s based on <strong>total sites per account<\/strong>, not regions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\" tabindex=\"-1\"  id=\"fl-accordion--label-1\">How does the 90 days free hosting work?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-1\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>This applies to only to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Agency based Pay As You Go (not bundle)<\/li>\n<li>Single Site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you create a site under your bundle plan, it counts towards your website count (only production and dev sites.
