Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	VPS and dedicated hosting are costly, Therefore cloud hosting provides a cheaper way to own a powerful server, and IP is dedicated as well. Cloudways was the decision because: 1) Easy to set up without any linux commands we can set up the server 2) Live chat for technical help. (Excellent agents, they helped out of the scope issues too) Incentivized Kaushik Somaiya Owner Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	It simplified our systems, it's Cloudways + mainwp for maintenance and hosting now. It allowed us to save on server maintenance work costs. The email is easy to spin up around it if someone doesn't want google workspace. Incentivized Michał Kuczek Programmer Read full review
