Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Black Friday offer apply to Vultr hosting on Cloudways?
Yes, the Black Friday offer applies to Vultr hosting. Create a new account with code BFCM802 by December 4, choose Vultr as your provider, and your invoice drops 80% for the first 2 months, up to $200 off per month. A Medium server at $54, for example, comes to $10.80 a month.
What is Vultr cloud hosting?
Vultr cloud hosting is a hosting service that runs websites and applications on virtual cloud servers with allocated CPU, RAM, and storage resources. Vultr offers different server configurations across global data centers to meet various hosting requirements. With Cloudways, you can host WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Laravel, and PHP applications on Vultr infrastructure while Cloudways handles server setup, OS updates, security patching, and monitoring.
What is the difference between Cloudways Managed Vultr Hosting and Self-Managed Vultr Hosting?
Self-managed Vultr hosting provides cloud infrastructure that you configure, secure, and manage yourself, while Cloudways adds a managed hosting platform on top of Vultr's servers. Cloudways handles server setup, OS updates, security patching, monitoring, and hosting-stack optimization. It also provides centralized application management, staging, backups, and 24/7 expert support. With self-managed Vultr hosting, these operations remain primarily your responsibility.
How much does Vultr hosting cost on Cloudways?
Cloudways Vultr hosting starts at $14/month for a 1GB standard server, including managed hosting and 24/7 standard support. Pricing varies by server type and resources, with pay-as-you-go hourly billing and monthly price caps. Additional charges may apply for off-site backup storage ($0.033/GB), optional add-ons, and bandwidth overages. Check the Cloudways pricing calculator to see how much you could save.
Which Vultr server type should I choose on Cloudways?
Cloudways offers four Vultr server families: Standard, High Frequency, General Purpose, and CPU Optimized. Standard suits smaller websites and everyday applications, while High Frequency offers faster processors and NVMe storage for performance-sensitive websites. General Purpose provides balanced CPU and memory resources for production applications, whereas CPU Optimized offers dedicated vCPUs for compute-intensive workloads. Choose based on your application's resource requirements and budget.
Where are Vultr data centers located?
Vultr offers 30+ data center locations across North America, South America, Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Australia. On Cloudways, you can choose your preferred Vultr data center when launching a server. Select a location closer to your target audience to help reduce latency and improve website performance.
Can I use Vultr hosting for ecommerce stores?
Yes. Cloudways supports ecommerce applications such as WooCommerce and Magento on Vultr infrastructure. You can choose a server configuration based on your store's traffic, product catalog, and resource requirements. Cloudways also provides caching, SSL certificates, staging environments, automated backups, and managed server security to help you operate your online store.
Can I host multiple websites and applications on one Vultr server?
Yes. With Cloudways, you are able to host multiple WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Laravel, and PHP applications from one Vultr server, and there is no hosting fee for each individual application. They will all have their own domain, database, credentials, and way of being managed. The number of applications you can run is a matter of the server’s CPU, RAM, and storage, as well as what the applications themselves need in terms of resources.
Can I scale my Vultr server on Cloudways?
Yes. The Vertical Scaling option in the Cloudways dashboard will allow you to add more CPU, RAM, and storage to your Vultr server. You can also make the switch from a General Purpose to a CPU Optimized server and back without losing the IP address, subject to supported configurations.
Are automated backups included with Cloudways Vultr hosting?
Yes. For Vultr servers, Cloudways has both on-demand and automated off-site backup options available. The dashboard allows you to set the frequency and retention for your backups and restore individual applications as required. Off-site storage is an additional charge of $0.033 per GB, depending on usage. In this way, application data is safeguarded, and there is no need to set up another backup system.
Does Cloudways offer free website migration to Vultr hosting?
Yes. Cloudways provides free, expert-managed migrations for WordPress and WooCommerce sites. In the case of non-WordPress applications like Magento, Laravel, or custom PHP apps, the Standard plan will cover one free migration, and the Agency plan includes up to five. Any further non-WordPress migrations are $99 per application. Managed migrations are available once a free trial has been upgraded to a paid account.
Can I use my existing Vultr account with Cloudways?
No. Since Cloudways handles the provisioning and management of Vultr servers via its own infrastructure, there is no way to link a pre-existing Vultr account or have its servers imported. What you can do is migrate your sites and applications from the Vultr server you have to one of the new Vultr servers under Cloudways management. In that manner, you can make the switch to a managed hosting environment and keep your website intact.
What is included in the Cloudways Vultr hosting free trial?
With no credit card needed, Cloudways offers a 3-day free trial. The trial period allows you to launch an eligible Vultr server in operation and deploy applications. You can also use the Cloudways dashboard and try out the hosting features on offer. The trial also affords access to application controls, monitoring, and server management, subject to its limits. Should you wish to keep hosting once the trial is over, all that is required is to add your billing information and make the move to a paid account.
Do I need technical expertise to manage Vultr hosting on Cloudways?
For the day-to-day hosting work on Cloudways, you do not have to be an expert in server administration. The dashboard makes it easy to install SSL and perform backups, as well as deploy servers, manage applications, and upgrade resources. On top of that, Cloudways takes care of the necessary infrastructure maintenance and has 24/7 support from their experts at your disposal. That said, you would still need some technical proficiency for custom development, application security, or intricate application configurations.
