So no more typical cPanel to navigate around servers and websites that you host, instead you have their own beautifully laid out, clean, and most importantly \*understandable\* menu system which is visually eye-pleasing. Simplicity at its best. > > **Cons**: Although they have their live chat where there is always an agent waiting to help 24/7 (which most of the agents can answer your questions and resolve your problems there and then), the only downfall is their ticketing system. If your problem is a little more complexed and requires additional help, a ticket must be opened. The ticketing system can take a day or two to get a reply (which is no good if your website is experiencing problems and is down at that time). > > Overall I cannot really fault Cloudways. Their agents are fast at responding, know exactly how to fix problems that may occur, their pricing is clear and offered as a pay-as-you-go service so you only pay for what you use instead of buying a plan which you may never fill, their servers are easily scalable, they offer a wide variety of different servers to choose from; Digital Ocean, Google Cloud, AWS, VULTR, Linode, and AWS. They also throw in the ability to manage email addresses by using their third party affiliates Rackspace, they offer additional addons for managing DNS with another affiliate DNS Made Easy... basically, you can have everything managed by the Cloudways team so that you can worry less about your servers and hosting, giving you more time and freedom to spend on other matters of your business. Which is what every business needs. ----- ### "Cloud hosting for beginners and experts" — 4.0/5 > **Pedro** | *11 August 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how you can be in control of all aspects of the server and the applications you run on it > > **Cons**: The UX isn't as intuitive as it looks, and there are many similar options when you are setting up which makes it hard to choose a package > > it has been good, there are some features and ux improvements i wish It had, but overall I think it's worth it, my websites load fast and that's the most important thing ----- ### "I was assigned a blacklisted IP" — 1.0/5 > **TATIANA** | *30 July 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was initially impressed with Cloudways' platform, but my experience took a drastic turn when I was assigned a blacklisted IP. This resulted in severe email deliverability issues, significantly impacting my business operations. > > **Cons**: Despite multiple attempts to resolve the problem with their support team, I was unable to find a satisfactory solution. The lack of proactive measures to prevent such issues is a major concern. I would caution potential users to be aware of this potential risk before choosing Cloudways. > > I was initially impressed with Cloudways' platform, but my experience took a drastic turn when I was assigned a blacklisted IP.

Web Software to manage AWS, Linide or Google servers are simplified > > **Cons**: Communication could be better. Payment option for PayPal recurring need to be introduced ----- ### "Cloudways is amazing hosting." — 5.0/5 > **Hilary** | *11 May 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1) pay as you go. A bit confusing but honestly amazing and makes the most sense. 2) Great customer support. I thought I’d need to pay for their premium support but haven’t seen a need yet. Their people are amazing and easy to reach out to. 3) setting up staging sites is so easy. I have multiple ones too for different things. It’s great. 4) Great integration with GitHub as well. > > **Cons**: It’s complicated to set up. Email doesn’t come with it, either does a domain. This wasn’t a problem for me but I can see other users having this issue. > > I will be using them moving forward. Highly recommend. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/142855/cloudways?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/142855/cloudways) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
