User Testimonials
	Cloudways	Web Hosting on IBM Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend	DigitalOcean When you dont know how to set up a cloud server technically, (The LAMP stack or the PHP settings etc) Cloudways comes handy. You can easily modify the server settings with one click. Less Appropriate - If you want to save costs, go for direct cloud providers. Setting up technical stuff is a one time job.

Pros	DigitalOcean Automatic Daily One Click Restore Backups Integrated CDN Easy & Intuitive Alternate Interface to cPanel and WHM Very Affordable for High Specs 24/7 Customer Support is Extremely Helpful Serve & Application Management is a Breeze Choose from Multiple Server Locations Brandon Dith-Berry Senior Information Technology Manager Read full review	IBM No answers on this topic
Cons	DigitalOcean Their free alternative to WP Rocket could be made more user-friendly and easier to understand Create a function to automatically report heavy usage to specific email IDs Incentivized Naz Haque Google Consultant Read full review	IBM No answers on this topic
Support Rating	DigitalOcean Technical support is just 2-3 clicks away and the Cloudways homepage and the operators are available almost 24/7. They also are able to answer any kind of question related to their services, whether economical or technical. I sometimes made mistakes while using their services and they have been keen to help me, and fixed my problems really fast.

Alternatives Considered	DigitalOcean VPS and dedicated hosting are costly, Therefore cloud hosting provides a cheaper way to own a powerful server, and IP is dedicated as well. Cloudways was the decision because: 1) Easy to set up without any linux commands we can set up the server 2) Live chat for technical help. (Excellent agents, they helped out of the scope issues too) Incentivized Kaushik Somaiya Owner Read full review	IBM No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	DigitalOcean Massive ROI compared to Go Daddy's Server Brandon Dith-Berry Senior Information Technology Manager Read full review	IBM No answers on this topic
