Frequently Asked Questions
What is agency hosting?
Agency hosting is a specialized hosting solution that enables agencies to launch and manage multiple client websites under a single provider.
With Cloudways’ managed hosting for agencies, hosting websites is more than just taking them live. Our platform makes website deployment a one-click process while also providing add-on services like Cloudflare and Rackspace at discounted prices.
Plus, you get dedicated cloud servers and can manage unlimited websites simultaneously, making Cloudways the best web hosting for agencies.
How will I manage clients’ websites?
- This feature lets you add team members and puts you in control of the access you give to other people.
- You can use this feature to share necessary details with the clients if you are responsible for the hosting.
- Simultaneously, you can request access from your clients if they’ve already hosted the website and manage their accounts.
Can I resell Cloudways?
How much do you generally charge for agencies?
With Cloudways, you only pay for the resources you use, which means when you launch a $10/month server on DigitalOcean and delete the server after one day of use, you’ll only be charged for 1 day, i.e., $0.0139 (per hour cost) * 24 hours = $0.3336.
Hence, you don’t have to pay for the entire month in advance, which greatly benefits everyone!
How do I migrate my website?
As an agency, you are eligible for up to 5 free expert migrations, ensuring a seamless transfer of your websites without any disruptions.
Alternatively, you can use our free migration plugin to automate the process and move your agency websites to Cloudways within minutes.
Will I get free SSL?
Can I install more than one app on my server?
How fast is your agency hosting?
Do you offer backups for my websites hosted by my agency?
Can I transfer a server to my agency client’s account?
Yes, you can move one server from your account to your client’s account on the platform. However, the server will have the same IP address. This feature is ideal for agencies who want to give full control (including billing) of the servers to their clients to manage the day-to-day operations.
You can read more about this feature here.Can I add a team member to my agency’s or client’s account?
