At Cloudways, we give prime importance to customer convenience. Lately, many of our clients have been asking for a variety of third-party business solutions. Though customers were getting them from other vendors, they always wanted us to deliver it to them under one Umbrella through Cloudways.
The reason behind this is simple. Services like email hosting, offsite backup, transaction emails and PCI compliance are necessary for every e-Commerce business. However, finding the right provider for all these requirements and then handling their billings add complexities into business functionalities.
Furthermore, integrating those services into our managed hosting environment is another pain that both parties—Cloudways and its clients—share together.
To reduce these issues, Cloudways is now introducing PowerCloud Add-ons: solutions that you can avail under one umbrella WITHOUT the hassle of managing multiple accounts or billings! The key reasons behind the introduction of PowerCloud add-ons are:
- To give freedom to our clients from handling multiple vendors and their multiple billings.
- To provide top-notch quality services that can fulfill business needs.
- To strengthen our relationship with clients and take it beyond managed hosting.
The seven new add-ons from Cloudways include:
1) Rackspace Email Hosting: Get email hosting on the robust Rackspace platform with complete management and support from Cloudways. This means now you do not need to purchase email hosting from any third-party provider when you can get complete email account management from us.
Our management not just includes managing your email account, but we do also create/delete/manage all your new and old email accounts. What’s the price per inbox?
2) SendGrid SMTP: This business solution for automated user communication can be a time-saver. It comes with real-time email metrics and easy integration. How can I activate it?
3) PCI Compliance: Are you running an e-Commerce business? This add-on can help your store become PCI-DSS compliant, so your customers can shop with more confidence. I want it right now!
4) AWS S3 Off-site Backup: Minimize your data loss by creating off-site backup on a platform that is both secure and reliable. With our managed services, you do not have to worry about backup consistency anymore. How do you guys do that?
5) Blitz Load Testing: This one-time testing tool can analyze all the load-handling capabilities of your app before you make it public. Handled by experts, Blitz Load Testing helps you in application optimization and capacity planning. Tell me how many visitors can my website handle?
6) Full Security Analysis: These in-depth security testing and scans reveal all the vulnerabilities of your app. It helps you in identifying undercover issues, so you can give a secure app experience to your users. What are the loopholes in my setup?
7) Application Updates: The long and tedious work of patching the latest updates for your applications can now be delegated to Cloudways. We handle all the customization and plugin compatibility issues, so you can focus more on your business. Is this real?
This does not stop here. Our new Click&Go and application and cost monitoring functionalities are among the few things, which we are experimenting with in our lab. Let us know in comments or through email, what other services you expect to see from Cloudways.
