Cloudways offers a lot to like for small businesses hosting needs. But are its features enough to outweigh the lackluster customer support options? Via ForbesAdvisor
Founded in 2011, Cloudways offers five cloud servers to host your managed WordPress website. The company aims to help small businesses in a wide range of industries with their websites—freelancers, e-commerce stores or agencies. All plans include unlimited WordPress websites, 24/7 live chat support, free website migration, in-house cache plugin and team collaboration features.
Pricing depends on whether customers choose the standard or premium tier, and their cloud server of choice. The more you pay, the more storage, RAM and bandwidth you’ll receive. For instance, at $10 per month, Cloudways will host your website on DigitalOcean servers with 25 GB of storage and 1 TB of bandwidth. Contrast this with paying $50 per month, where your website will be hosted on Google Cloud servers with 128 GB of storage and 3 TB of bandwidth.
Cloudways doesn’t offer email hosting as part of their website hosting package—it’s featured as an add-on and customers can choose from a Gmail SMTP server or a fully managed email service. The company also doesn’t have domain name registration. You’ll need to find this service elsewhere.You can choose from five cloud server providers through Cloudways. These top providers are DigitalOcean, Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Linode and Vultr.
Users who log into their dashboard will be able to monitor the load on their cloud server. There are more than 15 variables you can monitor, including the amount of incoming traffic received. This feature is helpful if you want to see whether you need to anticipate a surge in website traffic and upgrade plans temporarily to accommodate for it.Customer service is only limited to the knowledge base and 24/7 live chat.
