Overall Satisfaction with Cloudways
A client was using
Pantheon hosting for their website; we needed an environment to support us with
two aspects.
1) Scaling website resources to support seasonal spikes in
concurrent users easily
2) Reliable uptime and consistent bandwidth and
latency. I looked at a number of suppliers and tech stacks (cloud, VPS, shared
hosting)etc.
Finally, I concluded Cloudways as the top choice as they would
host the site with the vendor of our choice and provide us with an easy-to-use
solution for management and scaling. The website is connected to native Android
and ioS Apps, and there are a lot of API requests to sync with the apps. With
all of this going on, Cloudways has been dependable and one less thing to worry
about.

- Hostinger and SiteGround
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.
CloudWays has excellent support at a lower price than SiteGround.
They win over the other two companies because they make it very simple to manage site hosting, specifically for VPS/cloud hosting.
You do not need to be as technical as you would if you're a customer of Hostinger and SiteGround.
So, in short, for a fast-growing website with 6k+ sessions per month (low WP maintenance experience), I'd choose Cloudways.
