Frequently Asked Questions

It is a hosting type that allows agencies to launch websites and manage hosting requirements for one or several clients with a single provider.


But with Cloudways, agency hosting is way more than just taking websites live. With our managed platform, taking websites live is a one-click process. Your agency can also add on services like Cloudflare and Rackspace for discounted prices.


Plus, you can get dedicated cloud servers and manage unlimited websites at once!

Managing your clients’ accounts is easy with Cloudways. You can manage their hosting packages, SSL certificates, and even DNS. We also allow collaboration on the backend with the Team Member Feature.
  • This feature lets you add team members and puts you in control of the access you give to other people.
  • You can use this feature to share necessary details with the clients if you are responsible for the hosting.
  • Simultaneously, you can request access from your clients if they’ve already hosted the website and manage their accounts.
We allow free migration to our platform to help agencies manage their clients better. So bring your clients from other platforms to Cloudways without paying anything.

Yes, you can. Thousands of our customer agencies resell web hosting to their clients.

With Cloudways, you only pay for the resources you use, which means when you launch a $10/month server on DigitalOcean and delete the server after one day of use, you’ll only be charged for 1 day, i.e., $0.0139 (per hour cost) * 24 hours = $0.3336.


Hence, you don’t have to pay for the entire month in advance, which greatly benefits everyone!

As an agency, you can avail up to 5 free migrations handled by Cloudways experts who make sure that your websites do not break and all your projects migrate to the Cloudways platform safely.


You can also migrate your agency websites with our free migration plugin, which automates the whole migration process, and you will see your site moved to our platform within minutes.

Yes, with our agency hosting, you will get a free SSL certificate to secure your website and sub-domains linked to it. We use Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates to improve data security and encryption.

You can add as many apps as you want to your hosting server. However, make sure that your server has enough resources to handle all the apps you add to it.

Most websites hosted on the platform can load within less than 3 seconds. However, the speed of your website depends on the resources it uses. If you have too many plugins or extensions installed on your website, the site will load slowly. You can improve its speed further by enabling server-side cache, Varnish, and WordPress cache plugin, Breeze.

Yes. we allow you to set a backup frequency of your choice for all your agency clients’ websites. You can set the backup frequency from 1 hour to 1 week. Here is how you can change the backup frequency.

Yes, you can move one server from your account to your client’s account on the platform. However, the server will have the same IP address. This feature is ideal for agencies who want to give full control (including billing) of the servers to their clients to manage the day-to-day operations.

You can read more about this feature here.

Yes, you can add a team member to your Cloudways account. To do so, you need to be the owner of the Cloudways account.

There are a few conditions for adding team members:

  1. The email address you want to add as the team member should not be associated with any Cloudways account (Trial or Full).
  2. Your account should have at least one active server.
  3. You should not be using the platform on a trial basis.
