"Great WordPress hosting, great value, great support!"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I love how easy it is to use Cloudways and the great support they provide. It really simplifies managing the entire process for me, from spinning up a new server, deploying new applications, and managing SSL to handling backups. As an agency, we get a lot of value from Cloudways, and everything we've used works well with no issues. The better user interface, more features for managing servers and application deployments, and improved support compared to what we had before make a big difference. The initial setup was very easy since we used their provided migration plugin, which made migrating all sites fast and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

We haven't had any issues with Cloudways features and support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use Dashboard with Brilliant 24/7 Support"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

It's been helping our business since 2022 in effectively managing my websites. Recently, we have started new business which focuses on developing skills of students and professionals - asktest.online, and it's hosted on Cloudways. It has easy to use dashboard with brilliant customer support which is continuously active 24/7, dedicated to help users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Had to purchase the domain somewhere else. I think providing domain names could benefit their business even more, also the business emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless E-commerce Hosting with Stellar Support"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I use Cloudways for hosting my e-commerce website because it solves the problem of running a fast, secure, and scalable site without me needing to manage a VPS. It provides managed cloud hosting, caching, automatic backups, one-click restores, SSL, staging and GIT deployments, and monitoring, all of which make it easy to scale. This allows me to focus on my store instead of server maintenance. I really like that it lets me run a high-performance e-commerce store with server-grade features without spending my time being a sysadmin. The support is fast and responsive, which is great. The site migration tool was awesome, and my site migrated perfectly, though I do wish there was a migration status update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

I would like to see simpler email handling, and more all-in-one features specifically for WordPress and WooCommerce without relying on add-ons or plugins. I don't remember a migration status, so I was unsure if the site was still migrating or the migration had stalled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Hosting for Long-Term Use"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

What I like best about Cloudways is how stable and fast the hosting feels in daily use. It runs smoothly and doesn’t require constant attention or technical tweaking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

What I dislike about Cloudways is that the pricing can be higher than expected over time, especially if you’re running multiple websites or growing projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Experience! Highly Recommend!"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

Wow, where to start? First it was very easy to get set up. Its a bit on the technical side so if you are just a plug n play GoDaddy user, this may not be the easiest process for you, but being technical I found it very intuitive and easy to set up. I like the options that Cloudways has to offer and I really have been quite impressed with the speed. Had I known how slow my sites actually were before, I would have moved over a long time ago. I really loved how easy it was to move an entire Wordpress site from one host over to Cloudways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

There is not much. I think the UI is pretty good, but still not always super easy to find the settings that I am looking for. I would also say its not always clear what some of the options mean, I am sure this has a lot more to do with being a new user than anything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, scaleable, affordable and reliable"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I've been a Cloudways user for a few years now and was motivated to change website hosting and infrastructure provider as I expanded the number of websites I manage which required me to have guaranteed reliability of service; infrastructure which can be scaled and easy to manage. Cloudways ticked all of these boxes. I managed to transition my websites with customer support and can easily check in on my websites at a glance as frequently as I like. The back-end interface is easy to use and settings are easy to find. If you want a deeper experience, then CLI tools and database tools are there for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

I think Cloudways automated tools are improving all the time. I value remote bots and services which can inform me how to optimise my applications and notify me when issues arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Hosting with Great Support"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I like that Cloudways is easy to use with a UI that isn't overcrowded, making it much faster for me to navigate and manage multiple sites, which is really important. I appreciate their good support team. It also allows us to have multiple websites in one place and easily control servers, applications, SSLs, and domains. The initial setup was easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

SSL errors could benefit from being more specific. The error messages just need more detail or some how-tos to help you understand the exact issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their support team is consistently responsive and knowledgeable; I’ve received help in mere seconds, which gives me full confidence that any issue will be resolved swiftly.

"Reliable, Fast, and Easy to Use Cloud Hosting!"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I have been using Cloudways for a while now, and it has completely transformed the way I manage my websites. The performance is outstanding — servers are always fast and reliable, and I never experienced downtime.

What I love most is the simplicity of the platform. Even if you don’t have advanced technical skills, Cloudways makes it super easy to deploy, scale, and manage applications. The dashboard is clean and intuitive, and setting up a server takes just a few clicks.

Customer support is another strong point. Every time I contacted support, they responded quickly and professionally, always solving my issues. It feels like they really care about their customers.

Overall, Cloudways gives me the perfect balance between power, flexibility, and ease of use. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants worry-free hosting with excellent support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

The only thing I dislike is that the pricing is slightly higher compared to some competitors, and sometimes I wish the interface was even simpler for complete beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
