Cloudways
- Hosting
Managed cloud hosting platform that lets customers deploy WordPress on multiple infrastructure providers.
Overview
Cloudways provides managed cloud hosting through a control layer that simplifies deploying and operating WordPress on third-party cloud infrastructure. Customers can launch servers, add WordPress applications, create staging environments, manage backups, configure caching, issue SSL certificates, and monitor resources without administering the underlying stack from scratch. The platform sits between traditional shared hosting and fully hands-on cloud administration: it offers more infrastructure choice and server control than many managed WordPress hosts, while retaining a guided dashboard and support. It is a useful option for freelancers, agencies, and technical site owners who manage several applications or want to choose among supported infrastructure providers. Pricing and operational responsibility depend on the selected server and add-ons, so users should compare resource limits, support scope, backups, and scaling costs. Cloudways is not distributed through WordPress.org, therefore a verified active-install figure is not publicly available.
Best for
Site owners and agencies that want WordPress-specific infrastructure and managed operations.
