Latest positive review	Excellent Support! Jan. 18, 2021 Reliability 10 Pricing 10 User Friendly 10 Support 10 Features 10 I'm new to this hosting company, Today is my first day (as of when this review was made). For the few hours I've spent, I mus... More t that they have the best hosting support, their response time is almost immediately... I love Cloudway! Less
Latest negative review	Do Not Use Them Dec. 8, 2020 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 2.0 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 Their Tech support is horrible. If you don't know anything about web design or cpanel usage, this company is Not for you. Pr... More etend that there is no support. You are on your own. They remove services at a whim. Worse yet is that my website is down almost every other day for whatever reason and all they say is, "Try it now." They never answer why it went down, just try it now. With no urgency to get your website up. You have to wait at times for days. You have been warned. Less	RUN FOR THE HILLS!!! Dec. 18, 2020 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 8.0 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 This hosting company is an absolute dumpster fire. They offered me the free migration, which took 13 days to finally be compl... More eted. Once it was completed it was a complete disaster. Some of things I saw: - My ssl certificate never was secure with the transfer - My emails asking for customer support weren't going through to them - My website was getting constant spamming comments after moving over to their hosting - My website crashed for 3+ hours on back to back days - slow service because no one is based in the US I ended up just going back to siteground. You would have to put a bullet in my head for me to suggest Cloudways. The absolute WORST customer service and company i've ever had to deal with. This place literally had my website crashed for back to back days and couldn't figure it out. I hate everything about this company and would suggest to not work with them! Less
