About Cloudways

Cloudways is a managed cloud hosting platform that acts as an intermediary between users and cloud providers like DigitalOcean, AWS, and Google Cloud. While it offers flexibility in choosing cloud providers, this adds complexity and higher costs. Their pricing starts at $14/mo for a Micro plan (1GB RAM) and goes up to $99/mo for their Large plan (8GB RAM). Cloudways is primarily built for PHP-based applications and does not natively support Node.js hosting.

Why DeployBase is the Better Choice

DeployBase offers a simpler, more affordable approach to hosting. With no renewal price increases, free SSL, automatic backups, and support for WordPress, Laravel, Node.js, PHP, and static sites all at the same price, DeployBase gives you everything you need without the complexity.

Does DeployBase support Node.js like Cloudways?

DeployBase actually has an advantage here. We offer native Node.js hosting on every plan starting at $5.99/mo, with PM2 process management, WebSocket support, and zero-downtime deployments. Cloudways is primarily a PHP-based platform and does not natively support Node.js, requiring workarounds or higher-tier plans.

Yes. You can migrate your websites from Cloudways to DeployBase. Simply sign up for a free trial, deploy your technology stack, and transfer your files and databases. Our support team can assist with the migration process.

Why is DeployBase so much cheaper than Cloudways?

Cloudways acts as a middleman, adding their own markup on top of third-party cloud providers like DigitalOcean and AWS. DeployBase uses enterprise-grade infrastructure directly, cutting out the middleman and passing the savings to you. We also guarantee no renewal price increases.

Is DeployBase a good alternative to Cloudways?

Yes. DeployBase offers the same managed hosting features at 52-68% lower cost. We support WordPress, Laravel, Node.js, and PHP with free SSL, automatic backups, and a simpler setup. Unlike Cloudways, you don't need to choose a cloud provider - everything is managed on one platform.
