Make the Switch to Cloudways for Faster, More Reliable Websites

Managed hosting is the kind of web hosting business where the platform handles every aspect of your hosting server, including administration, management, security, and maintenance.

What that means to you is that all you need to do is select the web hosting company you want and your provider handles the rest. Cloudways’ team of administrators, developers and security experts will ensure your websites and client sites are properly managed to ensure maximum uptime and performance.

Note that Cloudways is a cloud hosting provider that offers managed web hosting service and managed WordPress plans while supporting most other major CMS and Ecommerce platforms such as Joomla, Magento, Drupal, and other popular PHP-based applications.

Managed WordPress hosting is a service that makes installing and managing your WordPress site easier, where most technical and server-side issues are managed by your hosting provider. Choosing a managed WordPress hosting service means freeing up your time from having to handle security risks, backups, monitoring your WordPress sites’ uptime, and scaling your infrastructure when your WordPress websites grow.

Cloudways is a managed WordPress provider and also supports other applications, such as Joomla, Magento, Drupal, and other PHP-based apps.

Our customer support staff are WordPress experts ready to help you troubleshoot issues with your WordPress plugins, updates and other known issues, to keep your WordPress sites running smoothly.

With Cloudways, you get a world-class hosting platform and WordPress hosting services. All our hosting plans run on top-of-the-line cloud servers provided by DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, Amazon AWS and Google Cloud Platform. Cloudways is a cloud platform provider that gives you virtually unlimited cloud hosting resources for all your hosting needs, at very affordable prices.

As a fully managed hosting provider, Cloudways takes care of the maintenance of your servers. You get a single control panel to launch and manage all your staging sites and live websites. You can host and manage unlimited sites and control them all from the same cloud management panel. Most tasks can be done in just a few clicks.

It really is! For the same — or even better — performance, Cloudways costs half as much as what other providers charge (eg: Cloudways' starting price is as low as $11/mo vs WPEngine and Kinsta at $30/mo).

Cloudways lets you start at a very low rate, as long as you have a website that doesn’t require lots of resources. You can get started with a world-class server provider like DigitalOcean for as low as $11/mo. And your billing doesn’t grow as long as your sites don’t require more performance.

When you subscribe to a Cloudways plan, you get all the benefits of hosting your site on a world-class cloud server (with DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, AWS and Google Cloud Platform) with managed cloud computing services. You don’t have to pay for your server provider elsewhere or worry about setting up and keeping your server optimized.
