Cloudways Web Hosting Review

With Cloudways, you can sign up for a free trial without having to share your credit card details. But it’s just a basic plan, available for Vultr, Linode, and DigitalOcean users. You can also opt for the traditional monthly billing or a pay-as-you-go plan charged according to the amount of time you’ve used it. Let’s say you cancel your plan after a week – you’d only be billed for those seven days.

• DigitalOcean Basic Package – $10 per month
• Linode Plan – $12 per month
• Vultr Plan – $11 per month
• AWS Plan – starts at $36.51 per month
• Google Cloud Plan – starts at $33.30 per month

With DigitalOcean, you get 1GB RAM, 25GB storage, and 1TB bandwidth. If you have a small or medium-sized website, you can opt for Linode or Vultr plans as they’re less costly compared to AWS or Google Cloud plans.

If you have a heavy-duty site, then AWS and Google Cloud plans might be your best bet. You’re free to scale down or scale up your plan, depending on your website needs. Cloudways usage-based subscription model is great for small and medium-sized businesses.
