Managed Cloud Hosting

If you prefer managed cloud hosting powered by DigitalOcean, then Cloudways is for you. With the revised DO pricing, Cloudways are passing on the savings to their customers for all new servers launched from January 23, 2018. As 512MB servers are discontinued, Cloudways is encouraging customers to upgrade to 1GB servers. Existing 512MB servers will continue to function at the old price of $7/mo though.
