Your Divi Sites Deserve Hosting That Keeps Up
Stop fighting slow load times and restrictive servers. Get managed cloud hosting optimized for Divi, with a one-click launch to get you started.
Blazing Performance
24/7 Expert Support
Ultimate Security
Focus on Building.
Let Us Handle the Rest.
You’ve got Divi for the build. Cloudways handles everything underneath it, so slow sites, security gaps, and server headaches stop being your problem.
SSD Hosting
Every server runs on SSD storage. Divi’s asset-heavy pages get the data pipeline they need without any configuration on your end.
Built-in Caches
Memcached, Varnish, and Redis come pre-configured on every server. You get three layers of caching working together from day one.
Optimized Stack
NGINX, Apache, MySQL, and PHP-FPM work together to keep your Divi sites responsive under high-concurrency traffic, not just light loads.
PHP 8 Ready
Faster execution and lower memory overhead come built in. Switch PHP versions in one click without touching your live environment.
Cloudflare
Cloudflare integration delivers your Divi pages from the edge, close to your audience, with DDoS protection running quietly in the background.
Breeze Plugin
Breeze, our free cache plugin, comes pre-installed on every app. Lightweight, purpose-built, zero setup required.
Dedicated Firewalls
Platform-level firewalls stop unauthorized access at the server. Security doesn’t depend on a plugin being up to date.
SSL Certificates
Let’s Encrypt SSL is activated in one click on every site. Renewals happen automatically, completely off your plate.
Login Security
We protect your account with 2FA and also notify you of any login attempts made from an unidentified device.
IP Whitelisting
Whitelist specific IPs for SSH and SFTP access. Everyone else is blocked at the infrastructure level, not the application level.
Application Isolation
Every site runs in its own isolated environment. A compromised plugin on a client site cannot spread to anything else on your server.
Database Security
Remote database access is restricted to whitelisted IPs only. Not a setting inside WordPress — a rule enforced by the server itself.
IaaS Providers
Choose from 60+ data centers across DigitalOcean, AWS, Google Cloud, Vultr, and Linode. Pick the region that performs best for your clients.
Block Storage
Add block storage independently of your server size. Expand one resource without forcing changes to anything else.
Vertical Scaling
Scale up your server resources such as RAM, CPU, and storage for high-availability and performance at the lowest possible costs.
No Contract
No annual contracts, no minimum commitments, no exit fees. Your billing reflects your actual usage every month.
1-Click Actions
Our 1-click actions allow you to perform several operational tasks, such as backup/restore, website/server cloning in no time.
PHP Versions
Switch between PHP 7.4 and 8.4 on demand. Run compatibility tests against any PHP version without putting live sites at risk.
24/7 Expert Support
We offer 24/7 live chat support in all areas to help you run your PHP app without any hiccups.
Active Community
Our effective and strong community of PHP experts who share their skills and knowledge to help users around the world.
Knowledge Base
Hundreds of articles covering Cloudways features, Divi-specific scenarios, and common WordPress challenges. Searchable and specific.
Ticketing System
Leave your queries through our ticketing system to avoid waiting in queues. Our engineers respond promptly to every query.
Support Add-ons
We offer advanced and premium add-ons for priority support. Tell us about your requirements and we’ll take care of it.
Troubleshooting
We have a server and application monitoring tool for troubleshooting. You also can contact our support engineers to take you out of the situation.
Git Integration
Git comes pre-installed with auto-deployment ready to configure. Your build process stays clean from local to live.
SSH and SFTP Access
Create scoped SFTP credentials for developers, designers, or clients. Full SSH root access stays yours.
1-Click Cloning
Clone any site or entire server in one click. Stop rebuilding the same stack for every new client project.
Team Collaboration
Assign user roles with specific access levels across projects. Works cleanly across clients, collaborators, and internal teams.
Staging URLs
We offer free staging URLs and areas that you can use while setting up, testing, and developing your PHP app.
User Roles
You can divide work within the team, regardless of their location and assign them full or limited access to your PHP app or server.
Set Up Once. Runs the Way You Want.
No server experience needed. Cloudways gives you full control over your hosting environment through a dashboard that doesn’t require a manual to use.
Start Small. Scale When Your Projects Do.
Every plan includes the full Cloudways feature set. Pick what fits your current workload and upgrade from your dashboard the moment you need more.
