We’ve added Cloudways to our list of recommended products and services.

We’re a little late to the VPS market as most of our small business clients don’t need the kind of horsepower you can get with a good VPS.  And to be honest, until fairly recently managing your own VPS involved considerable system-administration skills — something we rarely see in non-technical professions.  That’s where Cloudways comes in!  They take care of the nuts and bolts server security and management tasks!

Another cool thing about them?  Since they’re only managing servers you can sign up with a healthy array of very powerful worldwide cloud-service providers like Digital Ocean, Amazon Web Services,  Linode and Vultr, and Google CloudPlatform!  Unlike smaller and shared-hosting services that can “run out of room” as your business grows, with Cloudways you can scale your website to handle truly gigantic traffic.

Best of all, depending on the provider you choose you can often find a data center in your region and sometimes even in your own city!  For instance people in the Pacific Northwest might be interested to know that Cloudways can set you up with a Vultr VPS located in a data center in downtown Seattle!

Check out Cloudways managed hosting (direct, no-affilate link.)
