Frequently Asked Questions
What is managed WordPress hosting?
Managed WordPress hosting is a form of web hosting that makes installing and managing your WordPress websites easier, where most technical and server-side issues are managed by the hosting provider. Managed WordPress hosting means freeing up your time from having to handle security risks, backups, monitoring your WordPress sites’ uptime, and scaling your infrastructure when your WordPress site grows.
Cloudways provides managed WordPress hosting services but doesn’t stop at WordPress. You can also host other applications, such as Joomla, Magento, Drupal, and other PHP-based apps.
What kind of web hosting services do I get with Cloudways?
With Cloudways you get world-class web hosting and superior WordPress hosting. You don’t need to pick between a shared hosting account, VPS solutions or dedicated servers. All our plans offer top-of-the-line cloud hosting provided by DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, Amazon AWS and Google Cloud Platform. Cloudways is a managed hosting platform that gives you virtually unlimited cloud hosting resources to launch your web apps at very affordable prices.
Is Cloudways easy to use?
As a fully managed hosting company, Cloudways takes care of the maintenance of your servers. You still get your own control panel to launch and manage your sites. You can host unlimited WordPress sites and other PHP-based apps from a single, user-friendly control panel. Most tasks can be done in just a few clicks.
Do I get customer support with Cloudways?
At Cloudways, we believe no one should stress about their web hosting platform being down or not working. We put a lot of effort and resources into making that a reality, with the help of our expert support staff.
Standard Support: It’s free and includes 24/7/365 access to Live Chat assistance. Every request is routed to a specifically trained Support Team member.

What other Pressable alternatives can I find?
You can find alternatives to Pressable that offer web hosting and managed WordPress hosting. The main con with Pressable is that they’re are a managed WordPress hosting provider and that’s it. Hosting websites that are not built in WordPress is not an option with Pressable.
Cloudways gives you reliable WordPress hosting for high traffic WordPress sites, but it doesn’t stop there. You can launch unlimited sites using any other PHP-based application.
We believe no other hosting service gives you the same performance and choice as Cloudways does, which makes us one of the best alternatives to Pressable.
