Freelance Website Designer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/16/2020 "Cloudways has gone downhill" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Cloudways? If you are using one Digital Ocean Server, it is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cloudways? They limit you on the server vendor now, since Digital Ocean bought them out. Cloudways was always an expensive option if you wanted to use more than one server, and now you have far less choice of that server. For WordPress websites, their "Breeze" cache plugin has always been a source of issues as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cloudways solving and how is that benefiting you? Cloudways was my first move away from using "shared hosting" for my client websites. I still have one client using Cloudways, but I have migrated the rest to other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
