My satisfaction with Cloudways starts with how easy it is to migrate your website from other hosting providers. With a few informations your website is up and running without great difficulties. Not to mention that hosting here is way more stable and reliable.
Não há nada para descrever o que eu não gosto.
Migrating websites from other hosting providers is effortless and fast. I also appreciate how stable, fast and reliable. I'm referring every single client from my agency.
It is a no fluff hosting company. They aren't selling bells and whistles. They are interested in the essentials giving exactly what professionals need to do their work.
Lack of email integration. I think business email is an excellent feature to have with hosting and though they have rackspace integrations and partnerships it is very basic interface.
Ease of use hosting for clients. The ability to offer reliable hosting with simple admin tools when we need to manage client site and wordpress installs. It is clean simple and too the point.
Hassle-free setup, excellent support. Higly-recommended!!
Some minor tweaks would be useful to their UI, but nothing massive.
The problem with VPS services is that you need some experience in server administration. Cloudways take this hassle over from you!
The most helpful about Cloudways I like is their excellent customer care support, they are so polite and knowledgeable. They can resolve your issue in just a few minutes. Also the pricing of the Cloudways for various server options they provide is very economical.
The only dislike I like with Cloudways is that they don't offer a control panel for managing the server back end, like the shared hosting panel offered by other hosting providers, so it will a little difficult for a new person to manage things by themselves.
With Cloudways we are able to migrate our shared hosting WordPress site to this platform easily by using their Cloudways migrate plugin, which is very easy to use this help to move our site quickly to their platform and we noticed a great increase in the speed of our site.
The chat function is phenomenal, always so much help and support in a few clicks! I also love the speed, and the free inclusions like backups / SSL certificates that some hosts bill seperately.
I haven't encountered any so far honestly! Maybe the ability to edit the WP config file would be a bit helpful without using SFTP? I'd use that loads! But it's not a complete turn off.
Speedy website hosting for myself and my clients! Easy to use, streamlined and modern platform (cPanel is very gross and outdated honestly). This benefits me through SEO juju and just general good user experience for my website visitors and my clients website visitors!
The ease of setting up and provisioning new servers. The number of annoyances their interface takes away. The great attitude of the support team.
There are a few features that would be nice that aren't currently supported, but when we raise them as feature requests, we get the impression that they'll look at rolling them out. One nice feature would be downloading a copy of an application's files and database to a Zip, also allowing for offsite backups per server / application.
The service from Cloudways hep us to manage our client's hosting needs in a really neat, efficient way - accessing the best hardware in a really easy to use, simple way.
Their application scripts are ready to be used setup is a breeze. It saves a lot of time for professionals and developers.
Their present onboarding and verification process is all manual. They can improve. It took me 5 mins to activate my account.
They have ready-to-use scripts. Practical to deploy WordPress and CMS real quick. They also have quick support on managed hosting.
We can go to them with any issue and there's always someone there instantly to help.
It would be great if they had a feature to download a single application backup.
We can easily spin up new servers on the fly knowing that we can lean on their support team if any issues occur.

The complexity of managing cloud hosting: Cloudways provides a user-friendly interface and a variety of tools and features to make it easy for users to manage their hosting and applications.

With the power of cloud computing, you can quickly and easily set up a server for whatever length of time suits your needs - all within minutes! The support team is second to none. With their expertise and dedication, they are always quick to provide assistance whenever needed.
Some cloud-based compute instances come with a hefty price tag. If you're accustomed to the convenience of cpanel, you'll be less than delighted to find out that further addons are required for basic services such as email.
Cloudways provides me with an affordable, convenient solution for quickly deploying and expanding server environments. With their easy, as point and click server creation, I am able to scale my business quickly.
The range of products and types of servers Cloudways offers is incredible! I love the option to scale the server as my business grows and have control over it myself.
I personally use the chatbox and love it! However, I understand that phone support would be beneficial for some people.
Valuable information on all the tech updates and delivered regularly. Instructions on how to implement changes are spot on. Quick support when needed and fast servers that work like a charm!
I moved to Cloudways to increase my websites speed. My sites speed instantly increased and the free migration made the transition from the old host an easy move. I like that I can increase my server instantly and have staging sites and a clone function which has made updates a breeze. The most valuable option you get when using Cloudways as your host is the option to use a server near your location.
Cloudways was a little bit of a challenge to navigate at first. I was used to a c panel interface so i did have to research how to set up a server correctly. Cloudways does provide resources but I found Youtube to be an additional source that made it very easy in the end.
Moving from a shared hosting provider to Cloudways where i control my own server has increased the speed of my site and increased my SEO. I was able to jump from page 3 to 1 simply by changing the hosting!
My favourite feature is being able to clone applications and set up a new site quickly and easily.
That there is no C Panel access to a site but it's easily forgiven when you can still access files via sftp etc.
A fast and simple cloud-based hosting solution
The 24/7 support that Cloudways offer is second to none - any issue or question I have is answered so promptly and their support always ensure you know exactly whats going on to further upskill you. I love the backend of Cloudways and the ease of its layout and navigation, such a simple tool that provides such complex services.
Nil - I am yet to experience anything I dislike about Cloudways
Cloudways allows me to provide a safe and secure website host for websites I design and develop for clients. I rest assured that all my websites are housed on safe servers and that 24/7 support is on hand should I ever experience any issues. It benefits my web design business greatly and ensures I can trust the services I am offering to my customers.
Cloudways offer a simple but feature-rich cloud hosting solution. As an agency, it is important to save time where we can, Cloudways' system and speed of support allow us to set up hosting solutions quickly and easily but with the features we need.
Our only issue with Cloudways has been that we've found the API to be a little restrictive, but this is purely down to a specific requirement we had and was not a major issue.
Cloudways allow us to offer reliable and cost-effective cloud hosting to our clients with support that we can count on to be there when we need them and get a resolution.
Cloudways is a platform specialized for CMS hosting. Recently I used, Cloudways for hosting my Blog application. Launching a simple WordPress application is much much easy and all the underlying infrastructures are maintained by the Cloudways team. There are many server options are available which can be used according to our requirements.
If you are a beginner, Starting cost is much high. Cheapest server monthly costs around $10 for one month. Another thing is Cloudway's free trial, which is only for 3 days. Considering these things, it seems Cloudways is not the best fit for low-cost beginners.
I write blog articles and publish them using WordPress CMS. In order to give a great user experience, I need a good hosting provider. When your audience, grows up, need to manage large traffic without any disruption. So far, Cloudways provides me great hosting experience.
The simplicity of their platform makes it wonderful to use every day. Being able to start a new server, create a new app, migrate apps between servers and remove when no longer needed never takes more than a few clicks.
It would be helpful if more information was visible regarding some of the platforms/data centres that they use. Specifically, which are powered by 100% renewable energy and which are not.
The ability to have separate apps for staging and production and the ease with which these can be made, removed, copied or moved makes our life much easier. This has allowed us more time to focus on the creation of apps, rather than headaches about hosting them.
I like the fact that I can set up a VPS server in no time at the best providers and control everything from one place. Server performance is great even on the cheapest machines, Cloudways leaves little performance footprints unlike Runcloud, for example, which consumes a lot of machine resources. I like the tool options like backup, machine and application settings. Support is also very good and competent.
I think the only thing I didn't like about Cloudways until today is the panel interface, I think it's pretty ugly and archaic. It's not intuitive where to find things. A good example of a dashboard that I find simple, elegant and beautiful is Runcloud's. Also having the best VPS providers is great, but being limited to these is also bad. This is another good point of Runcloud that you can install their script on virtually any VPS. Another thing, maybe improve the pricing system for agencies and freelancers. Instead of charging per machine, perhaps create price ranges by number of machines.
For me, the main problem that Cloudways solves is providing good VPS machines, at a good price and with the ease of managing multiple machines on the same panel. It makes it very easy to manage everything in one place.
What I like best about Cloudways, especially compared to other hosting services is the deployment speed, security, dependability, ease of use and affordability.
There was a slight learning curve coming from non-cloud hosting. However, that is not the fault of Cloudways. The only thing that could be a little clearer that Cloudways can address, in my experience, is the Cronjobs executing PHP scripts. However, I did figure that out.
I run a web development business that includes hosting. As speed is a crucial part of the user experience (thus, an essential part of a well-optimized site), cloud hosting is an excellent solution. Cloudways has been the perfect solution for my business.
I have been using Cloudways for two years and the available dedicated servers you can choose from (Digital Ocean, Vultr, Linode, and so on) and the performance of them is amazing. You upscale when you need more capacity when your website grows and receives more traffic, or when you expect to receive more visitors like during Holidays. With a few clicks, you can clone your server to a higher capacity one so you can be sure your website's performance will be up to the task to receive more visitors. You can easily downscale too. You also have a very complete knowledge base where you can find all the information you need to use Cloudways or if you don't find the answer, you are a few minutes away to get the help of a tech support agent. In the two years I have used Cloudways, I have noticed that the waiting time to receive support has been reduced, which is great if your problem is urgent. Overall, I have had a great experience using Cloudways and I highly recommended it.
The small downside I find with Cloudways is the fact that you need to pay extra if you want email accounts with your hosting, the good thing is that is very affordable and easy to implement.
- Dedicated servers for WordPress hosting - High-End Servers with excellent speed and performance. - Easy to use platform to manage your dedicated server.
