"Great cloud based hosting... Solution of all hosting problems"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

Cloudways is one of my favorite cloud hosting these days. I can upgrade anytime if my traffic goes up and it doesn't go down as other hosting sever crash anytime.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Honestly, it is a great hosting but with pros, there are a few cons. One is I'm from India and it only accepts Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Here these days we get rupee card in most cased so when it comes to paying for it is hard.

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloudways is very simple and easy to use. Just create the server with WordPress and you're good to go. On the other hand there are a lot of hosting they have long process if you want to install wordpress.

"Easy to use, automates a tonne for me, support is fantastic."
What do you like best about Cloudways?

Support has mostly always been helpful, or can point me in the right direction. I love that I don't have to lift a finger unless absolutely necessary - in that most of the automation is handled for me. When signing on new clients for hosting, it makes the process seamless and easy.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

It would be nice if the timeout was longer, but I'm picking hairs I guess. Some of the documentation could do with a bit of an update, but it's also not necessary.

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to spin up new applications without any hassle, setup staging for these applications, get websites up and running with LetsEncrypt certs, and manage the databases for each application seamlessly and easily. Every piece of functionality that I have for my agency is handled through Cloudways.

What do you like best about Cloudways?

The combination of server speed, reliability, ease of use, and customer service is unmatched by any web hosting provider in this price category.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

We've been with Cloudways for 3+ years and we have had Literally zero complaints. The uptime, customer service, pricing and speed have been top notch.

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloudways is perfect for anyone who wants the speed & flexibility of an unmanaged VPS, but also needs the support and ease of use that comes with a managed hosting provider. Cloudways strikes the perfect balance of all these things for a competitive and fair price.

"Happy I made the switch"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

It was easy to migrate all my Wordpress sites to Cloudeways. When I had a minor issue, I got fast and excellent tech support. thereafter things went very smoothly

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

I realised that the caching on the server was preventing my updates to show up, even after I cleared the cache, but once I realised that I can purge the server cache, it was going well

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like the fact that you only pay for what you use or need, most of my sites are low usage, therefore I don't need a large server, but Cloudways offers a fast server for even small sites

"Extremely user friendly platform and affordable pricing"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I found the platform so easy to use! I only have a basic understanding of servers and reseller hosting so I was nervous to move from my current provider however, Cloudways was effortless. I found the demo call extremely helpful and reassuring before making the switch and migrating approximately 40 websites has been a breeze!

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Don't love that you have to pay extra for DNS and Email SMTP compatiblity.

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

Better quality server and client website load time times for an affordable price.
