The Cloudways Console can also be used for the following applications aside from server setup –
- Security – This feature keeps a log of the whitelisted IP addresses that you use to gain access to your server.
- Backups – You can set automatic backups of your cloud server images. This can be done daily, every two days or so forth depending on your preference. You can manually backup your server anytime with just a click of a button.
- Monitoring – The best feature by far of the Cloudways hosting service is this one. Using a simple drop-down, you can monitor the traffic on your site and also keep a check on the load on your server due to incoming traffic.
- Easily Handle Traffic Surges – This feature comes in handy when you face a sudden surge in traffic. It can get very embarrassing when your site crashes due to a sudden surge in traffic, but with the vertical scaling option, you can now scale up your server resources in order to handle this sudden surge in traffic. Cloudways offers a pay-as-you-go scheme where you only have to pay for increased server resources for as long as you require.
When it comes to supporting E-Commerce platforms, Cloudways supports a number of them including Magento, WooCommerce, and Prestashop, which you can use to sell your goods and services online.
Coming to the Performance and Uptime, Cloudways has partnered with some of the top cloud providers in the industry in order to maintain close to 99% uptime when hosting your website on their WordPress cloud servers.
In addition to all this, you also have the option to use the StackPath CDN, which uses a global network of 45 PoPs. The data center nodes store copies of your website, and when someone visits your site, the system automatically detects their geographical location and delivers your site from the network node closest to them. This ensures that your site load times are kept to a minimum and in effect increases your brand credibility in front of potential customers.
Overall, Cloudways is in every possible way, one of, if not the best Cloud-based hosting service in the market at the moment. Yes, the Platform as a service approach means that you have to use their dedicated console to manage applications, but they have made it so user-friendly, that you will be up and running within no time at all. WordPress is obviously the biggest hosting service there is and combined with Cloudways, it’s about to get even bigger.
