@Cloudways Thank you for the responsive 24*7 support team. I really like it how quickly your agents connect to a conversation and provide solutions as well. Good job.

You pay for what you get. Instead of paying a low introductory fee and then getting high prices a year or two later, you just pay for what you need now. It’s easy to scale up and down. Cloudways makes cloud hosting easy to start. The process of setting up your websites and server is simple and quick. The UI/UX design is great too. Very intuitive and simple. It’s also fast and reliable which is something you don’t want to mess with for websites. Also their support team has been great. They’ve been quick to respond to any issues I’ve experienced.

Using Cloudways for about 4 years for my wordpress sites. Main site is 250,000 pageviews a month with a LOT of images. Fast systems with 100% uptime. The interfaces are awesome too. easy to use and informative. Support has been excellent for me. First off the first-pass bot system is literally the best in the tech industry and it amazes me how based off my simple question comment, how accurate and on-point the answers are. […]

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!.

[…] In the last 25 years I’ve used various hosting and server management services and Cloudways remains my choice for at least 3 reasons: 1. The interface for managing servers and applications is clean and uncluttered and has a logical structure that makes sense to me. 2. Support services are friendly and knowledgable. When front support staff cannot solve an issue there are engineers for them to pass the requests through to. 3. Server performance is more than adequate for my clients’ needs. […]
