Cloudways Review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Cloudways for most of our international clients. Hosting, malware control, easy management, easy spin-up of sites. Overall we love Cloudways for a good service. The customer support is great. It has solved a lot of our server-upkeep work costs, because the system is very intuitive to just click around, less knowledgeable people can manage the hosting now.
Pros
- Wordpress Hosting
- Email through Rackspace
- ElasticEmail setup
Cons
- It could be easier to configure many wp installs on one domain
- It could be easier to migrate apps between servers or accounts
- Access to apps could be one-click from the main dashboard view instead of three-clicks
Return on Investment
- It simplified our systems, it's Cloudways + mainwp for maintenance and hosting now.
- It allowed us to save on server maintenance work costs.
- The email is easy to spin up around it if someone doesn't want google workspace.
