About Cloudways
Cloudways sits between a bare VPS and fully managed hosting. You pick a cloud server at DigitalOcean or another provider, Cloudways manages it, and you host as many sites on it as you like. You pay per server size instead of per visitor, which works out far cheaper than Kinsta or WP Engine once you run multiple sites. Slightly more technical, but the best price-to-performance in managed hosting.
Cloudways pricing
Cloudways costs $11 per month, or $132 per year on the DO Starter plan. List prices on annual billing, checked on 11 June 2026; paying monthly usually costs more.
Every plan Cloudways sells, with the yearly price next to the monthly one.
“Host unlimited sites and pay per server size. With multiple sites this is far cheaper than the competition. Slightly more technical, but the strongest price-to-performance you will find in managed hosting.”Editorial team, via HostingShortlist
