Cloudways uses powerful servers to provide affordable, powerful and easy to configure web hosting. However, it does not offer domain or email registration. Web hosting services are now commonplace, but Cloudways does several exciting things with cloud hosting that sets it apart in a growing field. It lets you select one of five platforms including Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform, offers wallet-based payment plans, and even lets you sign up for a trial without removing a credit card. The shine is dampened by the lack of services such as domain registration and email included. Still, this excellent cloud hosting service is worth considering.
Cloud hosting plans
Cloudways leverages the resources of multiple clustered servers to load balance on-premises; You are not interested in traditional shared, VPS and dedicated hosting plans. Instead, the company offers multiple cloud hosting packages per hour, depending on usage, that only charge you for the time you used. For example, if you cancel a plan from 10 days to a month, you will only be charged for 10 days of hosting. Award-winning Editors' Choice hosts like DreamHost and HostGator will charge you for the entire month, even if you only cancel one week of the cycle. Cloudways also offers traditional monthly billing.
Building a website
Cloudways may lack some of the typical web hosting elements, but creating a website is pretty straightforward. WordPress was my favorite CMS in testing, and the service created a server in just seven minutes. I entered my Cloudways credentials, selected a theme, changed the appearance of pages and posts, and added images. It was a smooth experience.
This particular type of WordPress is of the managed variety; therefore, your installation is handled with white gloves, automatically updating the CMS, performing automatic daily backups, and providing real-time site monitoring and WordPress-specific security. Cloudwaysalso has one-click cloning (so you can quickly create duplicates of your apps and servers) and staging areas (so you can test site elements without putting them in place).
