Run a High-Performance Store Without a Technical Team

Pick a provider, launch in one click, then manage SSL, backups and staging from a single dashboard. You run the store. Cloudways runs the server.

Get Live in Minutes

Choose from 5 top cloud providers and deploy WooCommerce, Magento or WordPress in one click. Your server arrives with the stack already configured, so day one is for adding products.

Built-In Security for Every Store

Free SSL, automated backups and regular security patches come with every store, giving customer data a solid baseline from day one.

Scale When Traffic Peaks

Planned sale or surprise spike, your store keeps up. Scale RAM and CPU yourself on Flexible, or let Autonomous add servers automatically.

Everything Your Online Store Needs to Perform, Sell, and Scale

Here is what you get with Cloudways cloud hosting for ecommerce, from your choice of provider and hourly billing to team workflows and 24/7 support.

Lightning Stack

NGINX and PHP-FPM come pre-configured on every Flexible server at no extra cost, so your product pages and checkout get more out of the same server resources.

Built-in Caches

Varnish serves full pages straight from memory, and Memcached keeps frequent results close at hand, so repeat visits skip most of the work.

Object Cache Pro

Free Object Cache Pro stores repeated database queries in Redis memory, taking pressure off your database during busy catalog and cart activity.

Optimized Stack

Apache, MySQL or MariaDB and Elasticsearch or OpenSearch are ready for WooCommerce, Magento and custom PHP stores, so catalog search and orders need no manual tuning.

PHP 8 Ready

Run PHP up to 8.4 and MariaDB 10.11 or 11.4 for better page rendering, and switch versions when your theme and plugins are ready.

Breeze Plugin

Breeze, the free Cloudways cache plugin with 400,000+ active installs, adds WordPress page caching on top of the server stack.

Dedicated Firewalls

Security starts at the server. On Flexible, an Imunify360 firewall blocks brute-force attempts, bots and DoS traffic, while Fail2Ban and OS patches keep it protected.

SSL Certificates

Free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates encrypt login and checkout traffic and tell shoppers and search engines that your store is trustworthy.

Malware Protection (Add-on)

Powered by Imunify360, this Flexible add-on scans files, cleans detected malware and blocks most malicious code as it is injected, so you skip the manual cleanup.

Vulnerability Scanner

A Patchstack-powered scanner flags vulnerable plugins and themes on WordPress and WooCommerce stores, so you can update them before attackers find them.

Automated Backups

Backups run automatically, as often as once an hour. Restore a previous version in one click if an update goes wrong.

IP Whitelisting

Whitelist trusted IP addresses so only your authorized team members can reach the server over SSH and SFTP.

Vertical Scaling

Add RAM, CPU and storage on demand before a flash sale, with no migration, then dial back when traffic settles.

Autoscaling

Cloudways Autonomous runs on Google Kubernetes Engine, starting new server instances when traffic surges and removing them when it subsides, with no manual steps.

Block Storage

Add storage without upgrading the whole server. Your catalog and media library can grow while your live store keeps running.

Multi-Store Hosting

Host several stores on a single server, each with its own separate database, so adding a store does not mean adding a server.

Cloudflare Enterprise (Add-on)

Add Cloudflare Enterprise for DDoS mitigation, a self-service WAF, rate limiting and Argo Smart Routing between your shoppers and your server.

Edge Page Caching

With Cloudflare Enterprise, Edge Page Caching serves WooCommerce pages from Cloudflare’s network instead of your server, so peak traffic reaches your server less often.

IaaS Providers

Choose DigitalOcean, AWS, Google Cloud, Vultr or Linode, and place your store in the region closest to your customers from 150+ data centers in 50+ countries.

No Contract

Billing is hourly with no long-term commitments, so your hosting costs grow with your store, not ahead of it.

Free Migration

Free expert migrations move your WordPress or WooCommerce store from any host, or you can use the free Cloudways migration plugin to move it yourself.

Email and DNS Add-ons

Keep order emails flowing with Gmail SMTP, Elastic Email or Rackspace Email, and manage DNS with DNS Made Easy.

Move Between Clouds

Switching provider or region later is a clone away. Copy your server to another cloud provider without rebuilding your store.

Partner Hub

Install partner plugins such as Omnisend in one click from the Partner Hub, and use partner discounts.

24/7 Expert Support

Standard support is free, with hosting specialists on live chat 24/7, so a checkout problem at 2 a.m. does not wait until morning.

Cloudways Copilot

On Flexible, Cloudways Copilot diagnoses server problems, including 5xx errors, and applies 1-click SmartFix so you can get back to selling.

Knowledge Base

Guides and tutorials walk you through everything from launching your store to tuning its performance, written for store owners without a technical background.

Ticketing System

Open a ticket from your dashboard and hear back from Cloudways engineers on any technical issue affecting your store.

Advanced Support Addon

The Advanced support add-on gives you a dedicated account manager and hands-on help with performance, plugins and store-specific technical issues.

Proactive Monitoring

CloudwaysBot and 24/7 monitoring of 16+ metrics watch your applications, with New Relic integration and instant notifications when something needs attention.

Git Integration

Pre-installed Git auto-deploys to live servers, so your developers push changes straight to your store without manual uploads.

SSH, SFTP and WP-CLI

Work directly on your server files over SSH and SFTP, with individual credentials for each team member and WP-CLI pre-installed.

1-Click Staging

Test design changes, plugins and updates on a staging copy first, so shoppers only see changes that already work.

1-Click Cloning

Clone your entire WooCommerce store in one click, even to another cloud provider, and build a redesign or new theme away from your live store.

Team Collaboration

Add developers, designers and store managers with custom roles, and give each one full or restricted access to your stores and servers.

Site Manager Pro

Site Manager Pro backs up your WooCommerce store, tests plugin updates on a staging clone using before and after screenshots, then deploys or rolls back automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ecommerce hosting is managed hosting built around the demands of running an online store: fast product pages, secure checkouts, reliable uptime and room for traffic spikes during peak sales. Cloudways provides managed ecommerce hosting on dedicated server resources, with a pre-configured performance stack, automated security and 24/7 expert support on every plan.

Yes. Cloud ecommerce hosting gives your store dedicated server resources, quicker load times and the ability to scale during traffic spikes, all critical for keeping your store online and turning visitors into buyers. Unlike shared hosting, where other sites compete for the same resources, Cloudways gives your store its own dedicated environment.

The best hosting for ecommerce combines isolated resources, a tuned caching stack, security that matches your platform and room to scale. Cloudways covers all four, with hosting across DigitalOcean, AWS, Google Cloud, Vultr and Linode, so you can pick the provider that fits your store's location and budget.

Cloudways uses pay-as-you-go pricing with no long-term contracts. You only pay for the server resources you use, billed hourly. For example, if you launch a server at $11 per month on DigitalOcean and use it for one day, you pay approximately $0.37 for that day. Scale up for a sale and you pay for the extra resources only while you use them.

Cloudways supports WooCommerce, Magento, WordPress, Laravel and custom PHP stores. WooCommerce and Magento deploy in one click on the cloud server of your choice. Other PHP-based stores, such as PrestaShop and OpenCart, run as custom PHP applications on the same secure foundation.

Yes. With Team Collaboration, you can invite developers, designers and store managers and share limited or full access to your ecommerce websites and servers. Teams, projects and server transfer make it easy to manage your online store together, or to hand it to an agency.

Choose the location closest to most of your customers. Cloudways offers 150+ data centers in 50+ countries across DigitalOcean, AWS, Google Cloud, Vultr and Linode, run by those providers. To change location later, clone your server to a provider that offers the location you need.

Flexible is customizable managed hosting where you choose the cloud provider and scale vertically. It supports WooCommerce, Magento, Laravel and custom PHP, plus Copilot, Imunify360, Malware Protection and Site Manager. Autonomous is Kubernetes-based hosting for WordPress and WooCommerce with horizontal autoscaling, Cloudflare WAF and DDoS protection, and Object Cache Pro with Relay.

Yes. Cloudflare Enterprise is an add-on that puts Argo Smart Routing, tiered caching, a self-service WAF, rate limiting and AI crawler blocking in front of your store. WooCommerce and WordPress stores can also use Edge Page Caching. Autonomous plans include Cloudflare Enterprise CDN.

Yes. Use 1-click staging to test updates on a copy of your store, or automate the process with Site Manager Pro. It applies updates to a staging clone, compares before and after screenshots, deploys if the tests pass and rolls back if they fail. You can exclude specific plugins or themes from updates.

Flexible includes free malware scanning with alerts. The Malware Protection add-on, powered by Imunify360, adds on-demand scans, automated cleanup and runtime protection that blocks most malicious code as it is injected. A Patchstack-powered scanner also flags vulnerable plugins and themes on your WordPress and WooCommerce stores, so you can patch them early.

Cloudways Site Manager is a WordPress and WooCommerce manager built into Cloudways Flexible. It detects available updates and, on Pro (formerly SafeUpdates), backs up each site and tests updates on a staging clone before they go live. It also tracks PageSpeed Insights and PHP errors, sends Slack or email alerts, and manages plugins, themes and users across your sites from one dashboard.

The Lightning Stack is up to 65% faster for dynamic sites, according to Cloudways. It pairs NGINX and PHP-FPM with Varnish, Redis and Object Cache Pro, so pages are served from cache and each request puts less load on your database. It is available on Flexible at no extra cost and is configured automatically, so no manual tuning is needed.

Yes. Cloudways provides free expert migrations for WordPress and WooCommerce stores, handling the transfer from your existing host. You can also use the free Cloudways migration plugin to automate the process yourself. Other applications, such as Magento, can be migrated for a one-time $99.

Yes. Automatic backups are enabled by default, and you can control the frequency and set it as often as one backup per hour. You can restore a previous version in one click, or clone your store to test changes safely. Site Manager Pro also takes a full backup before every update it applies.

Cloudways pairs a choice of five cloud providers with two ways to scale: vertical on Flexible and automatic on Autonomous. Plans include free SSL, staging and regular security patches, Flexible adds Cloudways Copilot for server diagnostics, and 24/7 expert support is on hand. Hourly billing and no contracts keep your costs tied to your traffic.

Flexible servers are protected by an Imunify360 firewall, free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, automated OS security patches and free malware scanning with alerts. Autonomous uses Cloudflare WAF and DDoS protection. You can add Cloudflare Enterprise for DDoS mitigation on Flexible. Automated backups keep your store data and order records recoverable.

Yes. With Cloudways Flexible, you can scale your server's RAM, CPU and storage on demand ahead of peak sales events, then scale back down when traffic subsides, paying only for the additional resources used. For automatic scaling without manual intervention, Cloudways Autonomous spins up new server instances as demand increases and removes them when it drops.

Yes. Cloudways Flexible lets you scale server resources vertically on demand for flash sales and seasonal peaks. For stores with unpredictable high traffic, Cloudways Autonomous provides horizontal autoscaling on Google Kubernetes Engine, spinning up new server instances when traffic surges and scaling back down when it subsides, with no manual intervention required.
