“Our default for client sites above a certain size”
Used daily for 2+ years
Shared hosting for brochure sites, Cloudways for anything with traffic or a shop. Cloning a server to build a staging copy takes minutes and the team features mean junior staff can deploy without root access.
Pros
Cloning and staging are excellent. Hourly billing means test servers cost pennies.
Cons
Base-tier support is fine for platform issues and unhelpful for application problems.
