Cloudways Review Tutorial and Migration (Step by Step) November 2019

[@BowlWithKing]

Great job with this tutorial... Very helpful! I’ve been using Cloudways for years now and I still learn a lot. 👍🏼 I love this hosting company... very reliable, no phone support but their chat and ticket support has been great and very fast from my experience, and you can’t bet their prices. Keep up the good work, and do let negative comments or ungrateful Internet browsers discourage you from making tutorials. There’s a lot of us out here that do appreciate the hard work people put into making videos and taking time out to help other people.

You are too kind. Thank you

Thank you so very much for this video. Don’t worry about your English skills, you did a great job explaining! Showing the mistakes is a good thing because similar things could happen to us too. I am just about to switch to cloudways and this was very helpful. If you could make a video about how to setup the email hosting, I would really appreciate it!

Good video Stratos! Quick question, since it is exactly the same website, shouldn’t there be the exact number of requests in both providers? Does cloudways use some kind of caching on their own?

[@stratos-tutorials]

Yes Lyk they do have redis installed.

Hi, Thank you for the video. Could you please make a video on migrating a PHP, React, Lavarel website with an admin panel to cloudways?

[@thebibleproof]

Thanks Stratos. To have preinstalled staging setups with all your plugins registered etc, will they use much space to just leave them there as blueprints? Thanks for such helpful videos. I sent you an email.

[@stratos-tutorials]

You can have a blueprint installation and clone it every time you want to start a new website. If it has only the plugins and no photos it will no be over 70MB.

Thank you very much for this detailed video it really helped me🙌

[@stratos-tutorials]

Happy it helped. If you have cloudways, be sure to add the smtp settings. Check your forms that are working.

Many shared hosting providers offer LiteSpeed and NVMe SSD storage using modern hardware servers, and they can easily outperform the top plans from Cloudways. Cloudways provides services through shared cloud service configurations with low-grade server equipment that much cheaper dedicated service providers easily beat in performance metrics. Many bloggers try to present Cloudways as a top provider of VPS accounts instead of a more realistic positioning of their services as a low grade, overpriced shared hosting. A detailed explanation is given in the review paper at www.webwhim.co.uk/how-to-select-a-wordpress-hosting-provider/#Cloudways

[@stratos-tutorials]

Cloudways does not have it own server. It offers you the software and rents the server for you. So you are paying for the server that you are renting but also for the software that has many great features for agencies. For the price, I think it is a very good choice. I have done my tests, and I prefer it from SiteGround and Namehero. There may be better webhosing companies but I don't agree that they offer a low grade, overpriced shared hosting.

[@victorzhitomirsky815]

@@stratos-tutorials SiteGround is as bad as Cloudways, but Namehero Turbo Cloud offers 10 times better performance. Have you used a LiteSpeed cache with NameHero? Have you used QUIC.cloud CDN? What metric have you used to come to the conclusion that NameHero is not as good as the Cloudways? How many years ago did you try NameHero? They offer NVMe SSD drives for less than 10 months.

So cloudways is a shared hosting . Without root access to a server.

[@stratos-tutorials]

No it is not shared hosting. You create virtual machines and install wordpress inside there

[@persiaguitar]

@@stratos-tutorials Oh ok I understand and they manage the server itself but as they do not allow to install any other thing for example a VPN because they do not provide any root It is like a shared hosting secured . A shared hosting with cloudlinux installed is also good enough so not sure why people would choose that .

[@stratos-tutorials]

If you know what to do with a root access to a Linux server then yes there is no point on paying the extra cost. You can go directly to Voltr, Digital Ocean and all the others companies. For me, Cloudways is a perfect solution since I cant install php, my sql and manage the server by myself.

You are right. Sorry! I should make a video just with my mistakes.
