description Cloudways (Managed Cloud Hosting) Overview
While technically moving beyond 'shared' hosting, Cloudways is included because its managed VPS offering is often the *next logical step* for users who outgrow shared hosting but don't want the complexity of managing a raw VPS. It provides enterprise-grade performance (using DigitalOcean, AWS, etc.) with a user-friendly management layer, offering unparalleled scalability for demanding applications.
help Cloudways (Managed Cloud Hosting) FAQ
Why do WordPress users move to Cloudways after shared hosting?
Cloudways manages cloud servers from providers such as DigitalOcean, Vultr, AWS, and Google Cloud, so users get VPS-style resources without handling everything from a raw Linux shell. That is the main jump from shared hosts like Bluehost or Hostinger, where many sites share the same server environment.
Does Cloudways include cPanel like traditional shared hosting?
No, Cloudways uses its own control panel instead of cPanel. You manage applications, SSL, backups, staging, cron jobs, and server services through the Cloudways dashboard rather than the standard cPanel interface.
Is Cloudways good for WooCommerce stores that have outgrown cheap hosting?
It can be, because WooCommerce benefits from dedicated RAM, object caching options, and easier vertical scaling than basic shared hosting. Cloudways also supports common WordPress stack components such as Nginx, Apache, PHP-FPM, and Redis on many plans.
What is the catch with Cloudways compared with buying a raw DigitalOcean droplet?
Cloudways adds a management layer and support, so it usually costs more than renting the same cloud server directly. In exchange, you avoid much of the server administration work around updates, backups, SSL, and application deployment.
