Cloudways Description
Cloudways is a managed cloud hosting platform founded in 2011 and now part of DigitalOcean. Instead of running its own data centres, it lets customers launch servers on providers such as DigitalOcean, AWS and Google Cloud, then manages the server stack, security, backups and updates. Users can host WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Laravel and other PHP applications, scale server size with a few clicks and pay by the hour or month. Built-in tools include staging environments, a CDN, caching, automated backups and team access for agencies. Cloudways appeals to developers, agencies and growing sites that want cloud performance without managing servers themselves. A free trial is available without a credit card. For affiliates, Cloudways suits WordPress and developer tutorials, hosting comparisons and agency resources. The programme offers a slab-based bounty, a hybrid model and a second tier.
