So you have started a website for your business? <\/strong>You did make the right move as the internet is the new world, and everyone looks for whatever they want on the internet before getting off their couch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give your customers the ease to reach out to you, and they will favor you. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put your website on the internet, you must host it. Plenty of hosting companies provide excellent web hosting<\/a> with everything you require to run a website successfully. They offer you the best services, security, and support with just two downsides: one, they are expensive, and two, they are unmanaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the hosting you choose is unmanaged, the problem is that you have to do all the hosting work by yourself. Not everyone is an expert when it comes to website hosting, so you end up paying a professional to get your job done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with this, you will know about a few hosting service providers that can help you manage the most reliable unmanaged hostings<\/a> you will get at affordable prices and save you time. So let us move further in this Cloudways review to know more.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CloudWays Overview<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Being in the hosting industry for a long time, Cloudways was founded in 2011, giving it about a decade of experience. It has about 500 employees and is based in Malta. It partners with some of the most popular and reliable cloud hosting service providers<\/a> such as Google Cloud, AWS, DigitalOcean, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"About<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It provides a managed web hosting service<\/a> of reliable hostings that are unmanaged but provide excellent services. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s up on the news! The website hosting company Cloudways is getting sold off! It is now purchased by cloud services provider<\/a> DigitalOcean Holdings Inc. for $350 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount is said to be paid over 30 months following the completion of the acquisition, according to a statement released by DigitalOcean, recently. It\u2019s expected that CloudWays will be under DigitalOcean till September 2022 and rebuild itself to be available for small and medium-sized businesses as well now!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this hosting, you will not have to do the cloud maintenance as they do it for you; they keep your data safe, offer easy updates, and additional benefits. So it saves your energy, money, and time. Now, let us dig deeper into this Cloudways review. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speed Test and Analysis for Cloudways  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So we have already informed you that Cloudways offers <\/strong>managed Cloud Hosting<\/a> to host popular and reliable hosting services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, agreed, but does it maintain speed, security, uptime, and customer support?<\/strong> These are some of the most essential features you look for in hosting, and having a good score is crucial. So we ran some tests to let you know the truth in this Cloudways review. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloudways User Interface    <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To have an easy and satisfying experience, your hosting must provide a user-friendly interface to do all your work yourself and not pay a professional to get it done. Because doing so might cost you pretty extra, and all the settings might not be in your favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cloudways<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you log in to Cloudways, you will see the plan or server<\/a> you have bought. You have the option to see your applications and projects as you slide through the options on the top bar. Under servers, you can have your applications, and once you select any of your applications, you can see all of your details and the panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interface provided by this platform is pretty easy to use but might require you to search through features a little. Everything is not displayed on the page, so you will have to go through different pages to find what you are looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloudways Speed Test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, let us talk speed. We all love speed, don’t we?<\/strong> Be it food delivery or website loading, we want speed everywhere. So do your customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making them wait for your website to load is a big mistake if you’re going to grow your online presence. So what does Cloudways do about it? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure the best speed of your website, this platform stacks several world’s best server software such as Memcache, PHP FPM, Varnish Cache, Redis, Apache, etc. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cloudways<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yes, there are more to the list. But does this software make any difference in your website’s speed?<\/strong> Let us find out in this Cloudways review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tested the speed offered by this platform through several servers; these results might differ from time to time and from place to place. But the results were quite remarkable. None of the servers had a long waiting time, and we found in our tests that Asian servers performed pretty well for speed, but others were not far behind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, Cloudways maintains a good speed for your website, even on the most basic plans with the default settings.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloudways Uptime Test <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since we are not robots and require rest, we cannot always keep our offline businesses open for customers. Also, the time zones are different worldwide, so people are awake at other times, and that does not mean that someone could not order your product at an odd hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So maintaining a reliable uptime is crucial for your website and business to grow. Because any second of downtime, you could lose a customer. Why let that happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your customers are important to you, and you are essential to Cloudways; it claims to provide 99% uptime so that you don’t lose any of your customers. As per our test results, the average uptime that our website hosted on Cloudways experiences 99.99% of uptime. Well, that does form a reliable uptime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccc For the best server uptime, I recommend you to go with ScalaHosting<\/a> and InterServer<\/a>. Both are dedicated to providing managed cloud hosting services with a 100% server uptime guarantee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Analysis <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you value something, be it gold or content, it must be protected from anything that could threaten its safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that means the content on your website is valuable, and that too can experience attacks. So save it at all costs. It won’t cost you that much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Cloudways, the security of your content is the topmost priority, and it does all it is possible to ensure that. Cloudflare is a crucial part of this platform’s security system and includes more. It offers DDoS attack protection within 3 seconds; the Web Application Firewall (WAF) also is involved in protecting your data. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some of us might be curious, and some might be confused. And both of us require someone who can resolve our queries without having to wait for a long time and get quick solutions. Yes, we mean a support system, and in the case of hosting, a customer support system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you know, Cloudways provides you with managed hosting services of reliable hostings<\/a>, and you might be confused in that case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But guess what? How will you resolve your queries and doubts if you are not directly in contact with your hosting provider<\/a>?<\/strong> You need not worry because Cloudways takes care of your problems by itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cloudways<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This platform provides free customer support 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. So no matter what your doubt is about your hosting, you can just raise a ticket or live chat<\/a> with their customer support team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, it offers different levels of customer support as per your choice and requirements. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
