"Best in the market"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

Under single server, we can host multiple websites. It is easy to maintain databases and everything. If we host directly on cloud services, it will cost more for us if we host multiple websites

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Only digital ocean server prices are low. I don't know if they are doing it wantendly as the digital ocean acquires it. The prices for linode, AWS also supposed to be lower.

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can host multiple sites under single server and scale it higher whenever we require it. It saves lots of cost for anyone who hosts multiple sites. It is recommended to use this platform.

I'm not particularly tech-savvy, but I found it pretty easy to get my site up and running on Cloudways.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

I'm sure cloudways is not perfect. However, I have not found and problems yet.

"I am simply in love with the services of Cloudways. They are phenomenal with their customer service"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I like their speed and reliability. Their instant customer service mechanism is one of the best in the industry. In my opinion, I believe really going the extra mile to solve complex customer issues and handle them with care and touch.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

I really have not seen any downside about Cloudways as such. I would love to add a point that does not increase prices as sometimes other big players offer discounts, which might hurt small bloggers and writers.

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

My viewer base has increased due to the cloud services of Cloudways and it is always uptime. I have rarely experienced any speed related issues with my site.My readers are always happy to visit my site and Cloudways has immense contribution towards that.

"A wonderful tool for web hosting pros"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I have been using DigitalOcean directly for 4 years. After DO acquired CW, my customer success officer at DO recommended, based on how I use DO, that I should use CW. I gave it a try, and after a few months of good experience and excellent service and help from the CW staff, I can say: I thoroughly recommend CW!

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

hmmm.... I don't really dislike anything. They support me and help when I need the help and everything works. They even have a solution for email, which DO never did.

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly getting the servers optimized without me having to do it, and having support and a technical team behind me, so not all pressure and responsibility falls on my shoulders.

"My Experience with Cloudways"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I like the fact that you only pay for the resources you use, unlike many traditional hosting companies where you pay for the whole plan.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

They do not have a Cpanel and this makes it difficult to move things at the beginning, there is a little bit of a learning curve if you are used to traditional hosting

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was hosting my blog with one of the famous hosting companies, it was always down and it took a long time to load, since I moved it to Cloudways, I never had a single downtime.

"Best for Teams and Developers"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

Easy solution for developers or team to get online a project. Their multiple options for launch servers around the world in some minutes are perfect for scalable projects.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Nothing bad to do, only can think in price, in comparison to get directly from cloud providers. For small bussines some times this price is very high, maybe can make an scale option for small projects.

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speed a very affordable price, is the best solution of cloudways. Is and option to get servers updated and isolated a very cheap price, and you don't need to be a expert to deploy your application

"Ease of use with essential functions & great support"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I was used to using a cPanel for over 10 years when I first used Cloudways about 2 years ago. While I still have a cPanel with another provider, all websites I host for clients are on Cloudways and I do all my development on staging sites on Cloudways. It's so very easy to use and has all the features necessary, plus there's the bonus of having clients have their email hosted separately from their website which is always beneficial & optimal. I've had to contact support quite a few times and they are always very helpful, even making changes to the database for me, saving me from accessing that myself. I love having a Base site application ready to go with all the plugins I use in my stack, my standard settings already done & pages created blankly, etc - ready to just clone that when I start a new site build for a client, saving me a lot of time each time. The interface is so easy to use and very intuitive and I love the addons, including the rackspace addon being able to offer a low cost domain to a client and the very low cost elastic email. Also love that I can clone a server and easily scale a server myself in the backend.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Occasionally I miss having a cPanel and DNS settings in the same place as server level backups, but I suspect that is from a long-time habit, not a necessity.

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hosting clients' websites with choosing different servers suitable for different website needs. Good support for when I have an issue. Both benefit my business both financially and time wise.

"The Best Hosting Service I've Ever Used"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I like so many things about this system but best of all is the chat support. It's always outstanding, and I'm never left with a problem hanging, nor do I ever wait long for someone to sort out my issues. Other things I like are the simplicity and the speed of the system overall. My websites are never down and always load quickly.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

If anything, it's probably the very small learning curve that's required from moving from cpanel based systems to cloud based systems. I wouldn't go back to cpanel now if you paid me.

What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are many problems they're solving such as automatic backups, minimal site down-time, multiple website applications and additional add-on services like email and CDN's. The user interface is easy too, so that it's never a problem to keep track of all my websites and how they are running. They take a lot of the worry away from hosting and operating websites.
