Frequently Asked Questions

WordPress is an open-source content management system for building and managing websites, blogs and online stores. It is written in PHP and uses a MySQL or MariaDB database.

The admin dashboard lets you publish content and manage users without writing code, so beginners can launch a site quickly. Responsive themes control how a site looks, and plugins add features such as forms, SEO tools and ecommerce. WordPress is free to use, so most of your costs are hosting and any premium themes or plugins you add.

Hosting for WordPress websites is a specialized web service designed to improve the performance, security, and speed of websites built on the platform. These servers are configured to optimize WordPress-specific functionality, ensuring smooth operation even for high-traffic websites. A dedicated WordPress server can further boost resource availability and efficiency.

These are some features that are typically offered by many of the hosting providers.

  • WordPress-optimized servers
  • Compatibility with WordPress themes and plugins
  • Regular WordPress updates and compatibility with the latest version
  • Enhanced WordPress-specific security features
  • Dedicated support for the platform

You can enjoy these and many more with Cloudways.

Managed hosting for WordPress is set up for WordPress and maintained for you, while shared hosting puts many sites on one general server. On Cloudways your site runs on its own cloud server, with caching, a firewall, backups, staging and 24/7 support ready to use. Shared plans usually cost less but share resources.

Cloudways gives you a WordPress-ready server without the setup work. Caching is built in, and you choose from five cloud providers. Staging, backups and 24/7 live chat support come with every plan. Your first migration is free, so you can test it on your own site.

Cost depends on the cloud provider and server size you choose. Billing is hourly, so you pay for the resources you use, with no contract. DigitalOcean, Vultr and Linode servers cost less than AWS and Google Cloud servers at the entry level. Current prices for every provider and plan are in the pricing section above. You can test a plan during the 5-day free trial, which does not need a credit card.

Yes, Cloudways protects WordPress servers in layers. Free Let's Encrypt SSL, firewall protection, IP whitelisting and a 2FA-protected account come first. The Imunify360 firewall adds DoS, brute force and bot protection, free malware scanning and alerts keep watch over your apps, and a Patchstack-powered scanner flags vulnerable plugins and themes. Autonomous plans add Cloudflare WAF and DDoS protection. Keeping plugins updated adds one more layer.

Cloudways speeds up WordPress with the Lightning Stack (NGINX with PHP-FPM), which is up to 65% faster for dynamic sites. Redis, Varnish, Memcached, Object Cache Pro and the Breeze plugin cut database load. Cloudflare Enterprise can serve pages from the edge, and a data center near your visitors lowers latency.

Cloudways supports the themes and plugins in the WordPress repository, and you manage them from your WordPress dashboard as usual. Test new plugins and updates on a staging copy first, so conflicts show up before your visitors see them.

Cloudways offers one free migration to all its users, where Cloudways professionals handle all the migration complexities. Also, WordPress users can use the Cloudways WordPress migrator plugin to help you quickly migrate your websites to Cloudways for free.


You can migrate WordPress sites to Cloudways in just 3 simple steps:

  • Install the Cloudways WordPress Migrator plugin on your current hosting server.
  • Enter the required credentials.
  • Click Migrate.

Yes, you can easily scale your server anytime on our web hosting platform. Simply log in to your Cloudways account and use the slider in the Vertical Scaling menu to scale your server manually as per your needs.

Automatic vertical scaling is available with Cloudways Autonomous. It detects high traffic and automatically scales up the server accordingly. So your websites keep on running smoothly even in the case of heavy traffic spikes.

Consider the following factors when choosing a hosting plan for your WordPress site:


  • Understand your website’s needs.
  • Opt for a provider that guarantees 99% uptime.
  • Check the subscription validity for the hosting contracts.
  • Research if your hosting provider is priced fine.
  • Check the hosting provider's refund policy.
  • Check what upgrade options you're being offered.
  • Check the features offered by the hosting provider.

Yes, every Cloudways plan includes staging, so you can copy a live site, test changes and push them back. Clone an application or a whole server in one click. Backups run on a schedule you set and restore in one click. Site Manager Pro tests updates on a staging clone and rolls back if tests fail.
