> I looked at Discourse’s hosting plans, and I see nothing to indicate this board couldn’t be run under the $300/mo “business” plan, because from what I can tell this board’s use would fall well under the caps for that plan (i.e. I don’t believe it’s being ran on a more expensive, custom quoted Enterprise Plan–if it is I suspect someone made a bad mistake in setting this up.)

Looking at the board traffic, we’ve been running around [800K visits/month](https://www.similarweb.com/website/boards.straightdope.com/#overview) this year, with an average of 7 pages/visit. So that’s well over the 500K views/month allowed under the Business plan.

I also suspect our migration from the old site fell under the Custom Migration available only in Enterprise.
