"Mostly reliable but not ideal"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

The interface and panel wins here, it is realyl well done and with everything where it should be. The pricing lean toward the cheap side, which is not bad by itself. It has huge margin of improvements in various aspects but overall it is cheap and reliable. I use it to host a bunch of 0 to low traffic websites and personal projects, sometimes one of the two VPS has hiccups for some reason, probably due to WP triggering updates check at the same time.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Support is not always bright, since DigitalOcean purchased them it degraded further, so you need to be lucky and find a smart agent who knows where to put his hands, this is the worst part about Cloudways, was weak even before but not things tend to be worse. Everything else are nuisances, could improve the quality of life greatly but they are not a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"excellent & hard to beat"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

Honestly, I love how easy Cloudways makes things. I’m not super technical, so having a platform that handles all the server stuff for me—while still being super fast and reliable—is a huge win. The dashboard is really easy to use, and I like that I can choose between different cloud providers. Plus, their support team is awesome. Anytime I’ve had a question, they’ve been quick and helpful, which is super rare these days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

I wish they offered built-in email hosting—having to set that up separately was kind of a pain. Also, once you start adding more servers or scaling up, the pricing can sneak up on you a bit. It’s not outrageous, but something to keep an eye on. And while the dashboard is generally great, some of the more advanced settings could be a little easier to find or better explained.

"Best web hosting for small businesses"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

Cloudways is extrenely easy to use. We have all the control and settings we need. If there is any issue, the technical support team is incredibly helpful. It is extremely east to setup server and apps. the ease of implenting other options like SSL, deployment via Github, etc are also extremely easy. I use cloudways for Fixsquad and various businesses under that and I use it frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Compared to other web hosting services I have tried before, there is nothing that I miss in Cloudways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Non Developers"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I was able to migrate my business website over to Cloudways in one day by just following their instructions and things have been very stable and headache free. Although I'm not a developer -- I can follow directions -- I'm very glad I moved over from a mainstream "very popular" web host because Cloudways is simply more professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

I would say that Cloudways isn't as easy to use as some of the more mainstream web hosts, but some extra complexity is expected from a more powerful platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Game-Changer for Web Hosting"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

What I like best about Cloudways is the combination of speed, reliability, and ease of use. The platform is simple to manage, yet powerful, and the support team is always quick and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Honestly, there’s very little to dislike. The platform is so efficient that sometimes I wish there were even more built-in tools for advanced customization, but that’s also the beauty of Cloudways: it keeps things simple and user-friendly without unnecessary complexity.

"best way to manage multiple websites"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

Very easy to use interface. Easy to live between applications and spin up new ones is really easy. Integrating other software is good with one click setups.

I like the ability to upgrade servers when need. It makes running multiple sites very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Slightly overacting at first but good support helps with any issues.

Initially thought price was a bit high, but it’s competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great hosting provider with a great customer service team"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

It's easy to set up, the platform is easy to navigate and the customer service is always very friendly and most of all efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Not much to be fair, we had one big outage once and the team took a while to sort it but it did get sorted in the end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extremely user friendly platform and affordable pricing"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I found the platform so easy to use! I only have a basic understanding of servers and reseller hosting so I was nervous to move from my current provider however, Cloudways was effortless. I found the demo call extremely helpful and reassuring before making the switch and migrating approximately 40 websites has been a breeze! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Don't love that you have to pay extra for DNS and Email SMTP compatiblity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A solid inbetween of managed Wordpress hosting and VPS"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I find Cloudways offers a good middle ground of control and worry-free hosting. I'm comfortable using a VPS but for production websites for clients, I'm just not confident enough with server upkeep and security. Cloudways takes that burden off my back. Ease of use in the interface is pretty reasonable, I've definitely seen worse. Not limited to just hosting Wordpress which isn't always the case with managed options. Decent trial period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

It is probably overpriced for what it is. Wish they would include all features in the subscription price rather than having add-ons. The servers I have on there aren't the fastest, I wouldn't want to host anything super resource intensive on there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
