About Cloudways
Cloudways gives you managed cloud hosting on DigitalOcean, Vultr, AWS or Google Cloud without the DevOps. You get the speed and scalability of a cloud server with a friendly dashboard, staging, backups and caching handled for you — and pay-as-you-go pricing that scales with real usage rather than an intro-then-renewal trap.
The best step up from shared hosting when a growing site needs more speed and headroom. You choose the cloud provider and power; Cloudways manages the server so you don't have to.
