Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros No website downtime I ever faced. It gives an SSL certificate with every domain. Easy to host and manage web hosting. WordPress supported platform. PHP app supports. Easy to setup Good uptime Site migration feature Automated backup Multiple Cloud Providers Free trial Multiple pricing plans I absolutely love using Cloudways. They have seriously taken website hosting to the next level. I'd use it again and again. Cons It's an overall, outstanding web hosting platform. Not a domain registrar. Additional site features not included in most plans. Can be expensive for basic websites or blogs. Honestly, there isn't much I can say that i don't like.		Pros from Real Users Pros Scalahosting has been good for me, and I’ve had a positive experience using their service for one of my websites. The customer support team is always available and ready to help, which I really appreciate. Great hosting and network speed. The uptime has been amazing so far! Prices are affordable for me. Like them. Scalahosting provided incredible support. Every one of their team is excellent. Their 24/7 live chat support is incredible. They were helpful and patient throughout the whole process of setting up my Wordpress blog. I appreciate your help. ScalaHosting is one of the most professional web hosts I have used. It's fast, has great tools, but the best thing is their support. They always provide prompt and thorough guidance and usually have the right answer when I need help. I regularly monitor the stability of my websites, and so far the uptime has been around 99.99%, with 100% uptime last month. I also haven’t seen any network outages or packet loss in my monitoring. I have used the 24/7 support chat several times, and every experience has been a positive one. They are active and helpful. I had a nice, clean, and easy online checkout experience. The services and pricing were easy to find, choosing a plan was straightforward, and the checkout process was quick and simple. The available tools were easy to use, and both the customer service and technical support teams were very helpful. They resolved my technical issue very quickly. Their hosting services are beyond par, especially given their very reasonable pricing. Uptime is high.
