With Cloudways, you can do away with the old and outdated hosting processes and enjoy the latest that technology has to offer. It’s hard to let go of creature comforts, but sometimes change can be good!<\/p>\n
For example: Worried that cloud hosting is the only option with Cloudways? If you are looking specifically for VPS or non-cloud dedicated hosting, there’s no wiggle room whatsoever, sure; but if you’re just looking for more power as you grow, simply look at what this company offers. Your choice of cloud architecture<\/a> and the assurance that you only pay for what you need is a pretty great deal, on top of seamless and almost instant scalability. Optimized packages for platforms like Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, and more<\/a> also offer an added layer of comfort and control.<\/p>\n Another example: Is no cPanel or Plesk a deal breaker for you? We understand completely—which is why it’s listed as a con in this review. For a development-centric system and environment like Cloudways to not offer these industry standards is surprising, to say the least. However, we invite you to consider the the Click & Go Console<\/a> for a moment. With this custom-built interface, you don’t to need to contact a support rep to implement every little change to your server parameters. Or, if you’re not a veteran developer, let’s put it this way: You don’t need to be! Just let the console run, set the values, and you are good to go. This way, you can focus on your project or business itself, instead of worrying about the small details.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We’ll discuss Cloudways features in length later on in this review, but for now, know this: Cloudways offers total control over the servers, and employs several security protocols<\/a> to protect your data, so the risk of being infiltrated by hackers is very minimal. Plus, since you have the latest technology at your disposal, you can bet that you are always a step ahead.<\/p>\n Cloudways differs from many hosting providers by giving you fully managed and fully configurable dedicated server resources using your choice of cloud architecture. This means they can give you the full control of dedicated hosting, coupled with the speed and agility of cloud servers—all at an affordable price. In fact, Cloudways uses a <\/a>Pay-As-You-Go billing scheme that only charges you for the resources you need and consume. You can set both your cloud architecture provider and plan of choice during registration.<\/p>\n Note that all of these plans come inclusive of hosting provider charges; meaning, for example, that you don’t need to create a separate DigitalOcean account or subscribe to a separate DigitalOcean plan in order to use a Cloudways plan effectively. Also: Pay-As-You-Go means that you’re actually charged hourly; so changing plans in the middle of the month is no problem as it will be immediately implemented, with the price difference reflected in your invoice and post-month billing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let’s take a look at the <\/a>cloud architecture choices—DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, Amazon, Google, and Kyup—and the tiered baseline plans offered with each.<\/p>\nPlans and Pricing<\/h2>\n
