Considered Both Products
Cloudways
Chose Cloudways
DigitalOcean: harder to set up, hands-on maintenance and controll, but needs work-hours of a linux expert.

Godaddy: absolutely worst of all providers, charges stupid people money for nothing-services. Horrible products in my opinion.
Chose Cloudways
We switched from SiteGround to Cloudways because we outgrew SiteGround. They were not as flexible, lacked the scalability that we needed, and their stability was causing downtime and loss of revenue. When we switched to Cloudways, their support team not only helped us …
Chose Cloudways
Whilst all the top hosting companies have good customer service. Hostinger is the winner here for me.
Siteground has fast servers, but fees increase significantly in year two.
Chose Cloudways
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. …
Chose Cloudways
I've used some of the major hosting providers including GoDaddy, Bluehost, and Siteground but none of them have been as easy to maintain and deploy as Cloudways. The Cloudways interface is easy on the eyes. Tools are easier to find compared to the other hosting provider's …
Chose Cloudways
I liked Cloudways more than other websites due to its simplicity and how clear their website was (and still is).
It is the first server hosting platform I ever used.
JetRails
Chose JetRails
We used HostGator in the past when our website was still small and fairly new. Easy to set up, but nowhere near the level of complexity, details, and help from actual human beings that JetRails provides.
Chose JetRails
We've worked with Nexcess and Alpha Hosting and considered Rackspace and others but am glad we chose Jetrails

Cloudways has been a great fit for our organization and has allowed us to host as many sites as we need and scale those websites. We have a paid service plan and their team of support agents is the best that I have ever worked with. They have helped us through numerous scenarios over the years and are always there 24/7/365. From simple questions to the most complex hat we could come up with they are always willing to roll up their sleeves and see issues through to completion.

Hosting is a complicated thing to get right, JetRails is well suited at understanding a client's business case and technology needs in order to match them with the right solution at the right price. Finding a great hosting partner is very difficult, as in most cases one gets treated like a number or just another customer. The JetRails team takes a personal interest in the success of their clients and in the success of JetRails as a whole.

Usability
They are constantly improving their dashboards and interface to make it easier to use and find the things that we use the most. It's a lot of features to pack in to one UI and they have done a great job of making it user friendly. Their layout is intuitive and easy to learn and is extremely granular. We are able to control every aspect of our websites and applications from an individual level from scaling, to cache, to DNS, security, WAF, and everything in between.

The usability of JetRails comes down to the team, the people at JetRails are entirely the reason we continue to work with them and focus on the future with them. The people are insightful and interested in our and our clients' success. Sure the fact they use cutting edge technology helps, but it wouldn't mean much without the personal touch to match the specifications to the clients' needs perfectly.

Support Rating
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.
