Nowadays, hosting is an essential part of every business. All businesses using websites or apps to promote and present their identity. With a website you can reach people worldwide. And essential part of a website is the hosting itself.
A hosting affects your google search result. Imagine you host your wordpress site on a slow shared hosting, your google search result will drop. That’s why many people choose cloud hosting as their main option. Not only cloud hosting is faster (depends on your option), but it is scalable too. You can upgrade your hosting in no time, without contacting support manually. With some clicks you can choose your upgraded hosting. Everything is in your hand.
Using shared hosting is like living in a noisy neighborhood. If one of your neighbor has lots of friends coming, you will get annoyed (because they are too noisy sometimes). Same thing with shared hosting. You host your website with other tenants. If they host bad websites there, you will get the impact. Your SEO score might be affected too.
Talking about price, cloud hosting has little more expensive price tag. But, you will get more, compared to shared hosting. You will get faster server and total control of your server. No noisy neighbors. And because cloud server is faster, your SEO score might be ranked up.
If you are using shared hosting, usually they give cpanel to manage your website, right? But in most cloud hosting, they do not give you any cpanel for you. You have total control with your server, including control panel option to manage your hosting. If you are tech savvy, you might consider to install control panel like ajenti, webmin/ virtualmin, floxlor, vestacp, or you can install cpanel yourself.
But not all of users are tech savvy. That’s why Cloudways come in handy. You can install your applications with Cloudways easily, without knowing how to install those panels yourself. Only few steps and you can get your site ready in minutes, with faster server.
This is great news to anyone who wants to get WordPress sites, Magento, Laravel, Drupal, Prestashop, Joomla, or your custom php sites. You can host those CMS’es without knowing any server installation process. Just some clicks and you’re CMS site is ready, and it is faster, much faster than traditional shared hosting.
You can choose your favorite cloud hosting providers inside Cloudways dashboard. Until I make this article, you can choose Digital Ocean, Linode, Vultr, AWS, and Google Cloud inside Cloudways dashboard. Cloudways only manage your chosen cloud provider to make it easier for you to manage your sites and applications, without too much worry about technical aspects to manage cloud server.
Conclusion:
