How Hostinger, Cloudways, and Kinsta hide the cap

Hostinger fails if the cap is only in a FAQ. Cloudways fails if web hosting needs a kicked device. Kinsta is the control: if its third install worked, do not excuse a silent cap.

Fails that kill hosting-picks-2026-devices-2026-08-29

• Paying Hostinger annual after one phone install
• Skipping the third device on Cloudways
• Assuming Kinsta is unlimited because the homepage said so
• Dropping web hosting to stay under the cap

Go / no-go 2026-08-29

Annual only if the device cap and extra-device USD price are written for “fully managed wordpress hosting”. Otherwise hosting-picks-2026 stays monthly until web hosting fits the included installs.
