High performance managed cloud hosting that scales with your business. Choose from DigitalOcean, AWS, or Google Cloud.
Cloudways doesn't work like most web hosts you'll have come across. Where most web hosts will either rent you server space or use someone else's hardware — Cloudways allows you to choose which cloud hosting provider you use.
For example, you can currently use Digital Ocean (Standard + Premium), Amazon AWS and Google Cloud.
Cloudways has their own managed platform so you can spin up servers and deploy your app of choice in minutes. And you get access to support should you run into any issues.
The great thing about this approach is that you can get high performance hosting that scales—without paying the extortionate price that some managed platforms charge.
Overall, cloud hosting is more cost effective, it's easier to scale and generally a lot faster than most traditional hosts.
For example, if one of my articles ever makes the front page of Reddit. On traditional hosting—I'd need to upgrade to a new server or move to a new host entirely.
With Cloudways, I'd just go into server management and scale up my server resources. The process is simple and would only take around 5-10 minutes.
Performance depends on the cloud host you choose, host location, server resources and how your server & app are configured.
