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.

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.

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

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

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.
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.
Varnish serves full pages straight from memory, and Memcached keeps frequent results close at hand, so repeat visits skip most of the work.
Free Object Cache Pro stores repeated database queries in Redis memory, taking pressure off your database during busy catalog and cart activity.

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.
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, the free Cloudways cache plugin with 400,000+ active installs, adds WordPress page caching on top of the server stack.
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.
Free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates encrypt login and checkout traffic and tell shoppers and search engines that your store is trustworthy.

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.

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

Backups run automatically, as often as once an hour. Restore a previous version in one click if an update goes wrong.
Whitelist trusted IP addresses so only your authorized team members can reach the server over SSH and SFTP.
Add RAM, CPU and storage on demand before a flash sale, with no migration, then dial back when traffic settles.

Cloudways Autonomous runs on Google Kubernetes Engine, starting new server instances when traffic surges and removing them when it subsides, with no manual steps.
Add storage without upgrading the whole server. Your catalog and media library can grow while your live store keeps running.

Host several stores on a single server, each with its own separate database, so adding a store does not mean adding a server.
Add Cloudflare Enterprise for DDoS mitigation, a self-service WAF, rate limiting and Argo Smart Routing between your shoppers and your server.

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

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.

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

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

Install partner plugins such as Omnisend in one click from the Partner Hub, and use partner discounts.
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.
On Flexible, Cloudways Copilot diagnoses server problems, including 5xx errors, and applies 1-click SmartFix so you can get back to selling.
Guides and tutorials walk you through everything from launching your store to tuning its performance, written for store owners without a technical background.
Open a ticket from your dashboard and hear back from Cloudways engineers on any technical issue affecting your store.

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

CloudwaysBot and 24/7 monitoring of 16+ metrics watch your applications, with New Relic integration and instant notifications when something needs attention.
Pre-installed Git auto-deploys to live servers, so your developers push changes straight to your store without manual uploads.
Work directly on your server files over SSH and SFTP, with individual credentials for each team member and WP-CLI pre-installed.

Test design changes, plugins and updates on a staging copy first, so shoppers only see changes that already work.
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.
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 backs up your WooCommerce store, tests plugin updates on a staging clone using before and after screenshots, then deploys or rolls back automatically.
