Ventus Design Saved Big With Seamless Migration to Cloudways

After 20 years in web design and hosting everything on Flywheel, a studio owner explains why she switched to Cloudways: paying per server instead of per site saved her a lot of money, and the migration turned out to be simple.

🎬 Featured: Nicole Sauk — Owner, Ventus Design Studio

✨ Highlights
✦ Most of Ventus’s clients are local small businesses that don’t need heavy server resources.
✦ Flywheel charged per site; Cloudways lets her pay per server, saving a lot of money.
✦ She moved about 50 websites over to Cloudways.
✦ The migration plugin is simple: install it, enter your new details, press a button, and wait.
✦ If you’d rather not do it yourself, Cloudways will migrate for you, and the first one is free.
✦ She found the performance, security, and support she wanted, while still saving money.

Nicole Sauk: Hi, my name is Nicole Sauk and I am the owner of Ventus Design Studio. I’ve been making websites for over 20 years.

And until very recently, all of mine and my client websites were hosted with Flywheel, and I was starting to feel like I was overpaying. Most of my clients are local small businesses, and they don’t get a ton of traffic, so they don’t need too many server resources. But Flywheel charges per site. And after doing some research into Cloudways, I realized I would save a ton of money if I switched to paying per server versus per site.

So I made the switch and I moved about 50 websites, which, of course, was kind of a headache. But now that I’ve made the switch and everything’s moved over to Cloudways, they also have a really super easy to use migration plugin. You just have to install the plugin on your old site, put in your new application information, press a button, wait a little bit for the site to move over, and then you’re done. Plus, if you don’t want to do it yourself, Cloudways can do it for you, and your first migration with them is completely free.

My biggest concerns when I was looking for a new web host were performance, security, and support. I’m so relieved that I was able to find all of that in Cloudways, while still saving so much money. I am so happy with my decision and I feel like it was super worth it.
