"Exactly what I was looking for..."
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I love that it is highly customizable to my needs. I am not tied to predefined settings that doesn't work for my platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

I am not sure I would classify this as a "dislike" more of a buyer beware kind of thing. Cloudways is not designed for a beginner level developer. There are a lot of feature, functionality, settings that are great for advanced users. Beginners would be highly confused and may not have a great experience. Customer service can't help you design your server for your needs. That would be up to the individual or they would need to hire an expert. Again, not a complaint, as this setup works perfectly for me. But it is definitely not catered to all audiences. Maybe that should be clear to anyone that visits the platform or is considering Cloudways for server options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Constant improvement, with great support"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

Support always go out of their way to resolve and explain any issues. The systems are stable and reliable and reasonably priced Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Some of the add on services are priced per application and therefore are not price competitive with other services. This makes it harder to recommend switching to those cloudways services. Also pricing structure for Autonomous servers makes no sense, it works for s single application, but multiple applications becomes unusable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super fast web hosting solution with great customer support"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

Cloudways is the best web hosting option for a growing business. What I love most about Cloudways is their fastest web hosting services, super fast customer support team (I get responses within 20 seconds when I need them), No hidden fees, and I can easily add credit when I want, easy to scale up and downgrade my hosting services, free SSL certificates, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Here are some of the downside of Cloudways that I don't like. Their control panel is a little bit technical, but anyone can be familiar with their plan within a few days of using it. If they can provide a free email plan then that will be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cloudways has allowed us to scale our Marketing Agency and provide the best hosting for our Partners"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

The technical support is FANTASTIC. There have been minor issues with applications and servers, however, when dealing with Cloudways technical support, the response time and quality is great.

Creation and management of servers/applications is super easy, I love having the ability to password protect applications and setup staging sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

"Robust Platform with Clean Interface"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

The interface of the platform is very pleasing, feels secure, and I like the modern design. The performance of the servers is of course one of my top priorities in choosing a host and I have been very happy with the speed, reliability, and functionality. The controls are very intuitive and it's easy to add servers and integrate my applications without needing to read documentation. I haven't needed customer support but they have provided lots of welcome documentation by email. With all the features, it's easy to implement SSL for security on my sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

Could be more competitive on the pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cloudways Supercharged My Business"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

What I liked most about Cloudways is the perfect balance between performance and simplicity. It gives you full control over your server without needing to handle all the technical details, which saves a ton of time and frustration. The 24/7 live support has been a lifesaver when working on projects at night and as a complete beginner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

The costs can start to increase quickly when working on multiple projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid cloud hosting for intermediate users at a fair price"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

It's very easy to spin up a new cloud server, especially for WordPress. The control panel is unique (not cPanel) and very easy to use after a slight learning curve. Speed of servers has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

No phone support, online tickets/email only support. Price is decent for cloud servers, but more than using DigitalOcean droplets directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Best Managed Cloud Hosting Experience Yet"
What do you like best about Cloudways?

I’ve been using Cloudways for a few months now, and it’s been a great experience. It only took a few minutes to get my business site live, and the whole setup process was super straightforward. The site runs smoothly, loads fast, and I haven’t had any issues so far. Their support team is always quick to respond and really helpful. I’d definitely recommend giving Cloudways a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudways?

One downside is their email add-on; it’s pretty limited compared to other email providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
