Yes, the @digitalocean documentation is amazing. But at this moment, the @cloudways support is the most important for me. Definitely I am without time and patience to servers…

@Leonhitchens
I want to give a quick shoutout to @Cloudways, the host of my site.
With the events taking place this week, I’ve received nearly a month’s worth of traffic in three days. Their server is going strong, never slowed down and remains fast despite the pressure.
Thank you!
