Most hosting is either too slow — or too complicated

Shared Hosting

Cheap until your site slows to a crawl. You share resources with thousands of other sites, leading to unpredictable performance.

Traditional Cloud

Powerful but expects you to be a sysadmin. You spend hours configuring servers instead of building your business.

Cloudways gives you the best of both worlds — real cloud infrastructure, fully managed, without the headaches.

Why people choose Cloudways

Fast by default

Built-in caching, PHP optimisation, and global CDN support ensure your site loads instantly.

Security handled for you

Firewalls, free SSL, automatic backups and patching keep your data safe 24/7.

Scales as you grow

Upgrade server size in minutes without migrations when your traffic spikes.

No server admin required

Cloudways manages the infrastructure so you can focus entirely on your website.

Yes if you:

  • Run WordPress or WooCommerce
  • Care about speed, uptime and reliability
  • Want cloud performance without complexity
