A good abstraction over complex cloud server setups
We have used [Cloudways] to host our social media monitoring platform in PHP. It is probably used by whole organization as our company is small.
What business problems does it address?
We needed a separate server since the social platform is very power consuming. That kind of power cannot be fulfilled by shared servers. And thus we need cloud servers. Cloudways was a good abstraction - it reduced the set up complexity of a cloud server. Everything was on a click.
- Easy to set up
- Inside user dashboard is amazing.
- Live chat support is too handy.
- Costly - Adds up additional cost over same servers that u can buy directly from Linode, AWS, Google etc.
- Live chat support agents can access your code. Thus server access is not limited to the original user/owner.
- Less control over certain features such as turning off PHP FPM

Absolutely Hands Down THE Best
I used Cloudways for my personal sites and soon realized my company needed to be using Cloudways. The platform has the richest feature set of any hosting provider and their scalability is unmatched with many affordable options. We are moving our sites to Cloudways, especially after GoDaddy's own support platform crashed and they were unable to help me. We were seeing incredibly slow server latency with GoDaddy and even their WHM & cPanel were lagging. This was using a dedicated server as well. They solved our issue of server latency, backups, CDN, etc.
- 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
- CDN isn't free, but reasonably priced

Cheap, flexible, and well-performing
I use CloudWays to host our website. Server performance is good and the website UI is intuitive and really clear.
It makes me feel way more in control over what I am doing. Chat support is educated, fast, and helpful. I have made some configuration and payment mistakes in the past and they always helped me.

- Good control panel interface with many settings.
- Simple payment method.
