"Hosting Has Never Been Better"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

We are able to spin up a WordPress server in minutes. We can customize each WordPress server to the needs of the client. We can scale and add resources very quickly or instantly in some cases. We can report on server health. WordPress instance is usually very fast - faster than previous server environments. Migration to a Cloudways server is very quick and easy with their plugin. Support and documentation is top notch.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

The email option with Elastic could be improved - albeit it still works well when it's setup properly. I'd like to see more pre-approved add-ons like reporting, site analysis, and potentially auto-AI server optimization. I think the cost for auto-update plugins is a little expensive but it is worth it for certain clients, but not all.

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

Am able to host multiple clients while adding individual resources to them in a cost effective way.

"Amazing Cloudways Product and Support"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I like to scale my servers as I need. The interface is easy to use and the support is absolutely amazing.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

I have nothing bad to say about Cloudways product or support. It's the best from any hosting service I've ever used. I do wish they offered free email hosting like other vendors, but not having that is a small price to pay due to the speed of servers and support.

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

Updates and new features are frequent on the platform. Being able to scale or autoscale servers is huge for me. The ease of doing this along with exceptional add-ons on Wordpress keep me with the company.

"Very easy to set up and manage."
What do you like best about Cloudways?

It is so easy to spin up a new application, like a WordPress site, and even a completely new server. Literally just a few clicks and 15 minutes of waiting.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

There are email add-ons, very resonably priced and they work well, but if you want email servers, they don't have it. :(

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

The biggeset issue at first was getting off a shared server. Bluehost would not do anything about the spammers on the shared server, bringing down the reputation. The next issue was cost savings. Then there is the ease of use. Spinning up a new server, or a new application is cake. I create short lived websites a few times a year. It's so nice that I can just pop them up in only 15 minutes, toss on a WP theme, then let the client know we're ready for content.
