Our Best Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deal on Managed Web Hosting and Tools

Every Black Friday, the same question comes up for any business selling online. Will your site stay up when traffic spikes, or will it go down right when customers are ready to buy?

Last year’s numbers show exactly how much is riding on that question. Salesforce put last year’s global Black Friday sales at $79 billion. And in the US alone, Adobe reported a record $11.8 billion in online spending. Cyber Monday went even higher, at $14.25 billion in US online spend. That’s the single biggest online shopping day of the year.

A growing share of that traffic now comes from automated tools, as AI-driven visits to US retail sites rose 805% last Black Friday alone.

So this year, a large chunk of traffic on your site may not be a person browsing at all; it could be an agent shopping on someone else’s behalf.

Launch Faster. Scale Smarter. That’s the whole idea this year.

A new site, store, or application should be live and taking traffic quickly, without weeks of setup standing in the way. And when traffic spikes past what your current server can handle, you should be able to scale up on the same server, not scramble to move everything to a bigger host mid-season.

Here’s what’s changed on Cloudways to make both of those true.

New Ways to Launch & Scale on Cloudways

This year, Cloudways moved beyond managed hosting into something broader, i.e., a platform that covers building, launching, managing, scaling, and automating, all in one place. Here’s what’s new.

Cloudways Velocity: Managed Node.js Hosting

Serverless hosting shuts down when idle and spins back up on demand, which causes cold starts and bills that climb with traffic.

Cloudways Velocity runs on a persistent, always-on server instead, so the price stays fixed and the app stays ready. It supports 8 frameworks, including Next.js, Remix, Astro, Express, and Fastify, connects directly to GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, and auto-detects your framework on deploy.

A single Velocity plan on Cloudways can run multiple Node.js applications, with built-in PostgreSQL and pricing starting at $20/month.

Cloudways AI Website Builder

Most website builders start you on a blank canvas or lock you into a rigid template. Cloudways’ AI Website Builder skips both.

Describe the site you want, and a working WordPress or WooCommerce site gets built for you. You can then refine it with a visual editor, a code editor, or more prompts.

Plus, building more than one site also costs less per site. An agency that generates sites for five clients pays a lower rate per site than someone building just one site.

Managed AI Agent Hosting

Running a personal AI agent used to mean setting up and maintaining the server behind it yourself.

With OpenClaw and Hermes, Cloudways manages that infrastructure directly. Your agent drafts emails, tracks information, and handles repetitive tasks on your behalf, while Cloudways handles the server, security, and updates underneath it.

Cloudways Copilot, Now Conversational

Diagnosing a server issue used to mean digging through logs and dashboards yourself.

You can now ask Copilot a question about your infrastructure, like what’s causing a slowdown, and get a plain-language answer explaining what’s actually happening. From there, it can read application logs, manage your WordPress sites, and take direct action across your account on your behalf.

None of the core benefits you already rely on have changed. Usage-based pricing, unlimited applications on a single server, and no visitor traffic caps are all still part of every plan.

What’s different this year is how much more you can build, launch, and scale on top of that same foundation.

Site Manager

Keeping tabs on client sites used to mean a different login and dashboard for each one. And an update could break something days before anyone noticed.

Site Manager runs every WordPress site on your Flexible account from one dashboard, replacing the older SafeUpdates add-on. On the Pro tier, every update gets applied to a staging clone first, with before-and-after screenshots compared automatically. If something looks different, the update rolls back on its own. Basic is free and covers the essentials. Pro starts at $3 per site per month.
