Hi Adam! im interested, but i wanna know, which server location should i use if im located in Latin America (Colombia)? is it fast enough is the server is far away?
@@ricardo9208 i think it's depent on where your user'location not your location. Choose a datacenter that is nearest your most user. If it's Colombia i think South America area is good.
Just to clarify (I am about to get mean) because some dingbat is trying to call me out in the comments. I really can't help it when people of little intelligence accuse me of things when really they are not the sharpest tool in the shed and they don't know that 2 + 2 = 4. They think it equals 22, but whatcha gonna do? In the video, I tell my story of discovering VultrHF in December and immediately switching to it. But that going direct is VERY technical. Then I tell how I called and begged Cloudways to add it as an option, which they did 5 days ago. Well this genius writes, "You say you’ve been enjoying it for 10 months. Your cloudways account only has a digital ocean server..... Hmmm" Break out the tinfoil hat and report that UFO, ya figured me out! The reality is, even though this is a channel for non-techies, I myself am VERY technical. I have been using VultrHF directly, since December, just like I said in the video. Now that Cloudways is an option, that is by far the better way.
Just a quick question: *How much is too much (pages + posts) on WordPress?* I'm asking you that because one of my clients has around 1500pages + 1000posts and the site gets slower each week (public and admin). Yes, the site is optimized and cached (wp plugins) already. The server resources are ok too. Thank you in advance!
@@dividsky I went through a lot of Adams videos and my take on it is that pagebuilders play a big role when it comes to speed. Gutenberg should be faster but I don't have enough insight to give you actual numbers. I mean, it also depends on the server setup, right? Shared hosting vs dedicated resources? I'm lacking thorough experience in WordPress though, I'm still catching up on things as I used to be more of a Drupal 7 guy.
Some people do not have common sense anymore. They just want to argue. Thanks for the video, I might be saying good bye to siteground when my time is up.
I paused the video just to make SURE I liked the video. I was looking for a new reseller hosting (coming from Hostgator, then Siteground, then A2, currently on a local hosting) but didn't quite know what to make of Cloudways... This was a life saver, and the mini tutorial on how to set it up with Cloudways was the cherry on top! THANK YOU SO MUCH ADAM!
I am amazed. We just migrated a copy of my wife's beautician website to Cloudways for testing. We obtained on Gtmetrix a 100% PageSpeed score and an 82% YSlow score. I presume that this later result may even go higher if we decide to proceed with a live and final transfer. Simply fantastic. Thanks again Adam for this enlightening video!
Yes VultrHF is real. For anyone already on Cloudways, you just gotta spin up a new server, push your slowest website, and test it. People are switching over to it like crazy because why not, just a few dollars extra for a ton more performance.
You you really need to add a VultrHF server, then move a site over to see how it performs. After that, I bet you move all your sites to the new server. Actually I have done that many times with Cloudways, add a new server then push the apps over to it.
I'd been thinking to trying HF out and this video pushed me to commit. The speed increase is noticeable. I noticed it especially when deleting redundant applications. It was easy to clone the old server to a new HF server and it was a bit of work re-activating premium plugin licenses on the new server, but it was worth it. For an extra 2 bucks it's a bargain. Thanks, Adam, for nudging them to implementing it.
Love your videos, Adam! You always have me challenging my WordPress processes and making my sites better. I've been happy with my Digital Ocean droplet managed witn SpinupWP but Cloudways' temporary URL would make life much easier.
I gotta say, the temp url is like my favorite convenience feature. I use them all the time. I am surprised no other company can copied the idea. Well SiteGround did recently add it but its not so easy to connect a domain name to it.
I’ve again taken your advice and, with the clarifications from Cloudways in this discussion, I’ve created a new account on Cloudways using their VULTR High Frequency monthly plan. I'm using a new site to test this out so no migration will be needed. BTW, You're right about their dashboard responsiveness, at least for the little I've done so far. It's snappy! Thanks again, Bill
OK...wow...this is an amazing video, Adam. I've suffered from Cloudways envy for quite awhile now...I tried it about a year ago...tried it twice, and even my sites ran OK, I was so disappointed in the technical support that I gave up both times. But now...after getting all turned on by this video, I'm going to *have* to try it again...can't resist it. Thanks for your great video, and I'm looking forward to the followup video you mentioned.
Hi there, this is Moeez from Cloudways. I agree that there were issues with the support but fortunately, that is the thing of the past. We have worked tireless to improve our support by hiring new talent and training through our own academy which has equipped them to better deal with our customers and their queries. I am sure now that you will return to us, you will experience much better support :)
Very true! If you go the VultrHF route, I would love to hear how it worked out. I first started talking about it in my Facebook group, and as people tried it, they echoed the same thing I am in this video.
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies I was looking at the HF option and actually thinking (after reading the blog post on Cloudways website) all this for £6 more? I’m signing up on Fri and trying it out over weekend. Your videos on WP aspects are excellent, and are helping me no end with what I want to achieve. Cheers for now 👍
I've seen you talk about problems with Varnish on multiple videos but I've yet to see you explain what its purpose is. What exactly does Varnish do and why would I consider having it enabled?
@@WPCrafter hi Adam.. would you therefore recommend lots of client sites are on a light speed server for example namehero... and my own sites are powered by cloudways vultr HF? This maybe the best solution for price and performed?
So Adam, hope you are well. Whatever happened to that other video you mentioned in this one at 17:42 that details your Cloudways setup? THAT would be very helpful.
Gonna try this too, tested the litespeed setup but it's still quite slow in locations far from the original hosting location, even though I'm using Bunny CDN.
Sounds fantastic. Definitely will give it a try. In the past, I had used SiteGround (very satisfied with them until they raised the price from about $160 per year to over $400), and currently am using a2 and Hostinger. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and I'm not really happy with either one of them; they are ok but not great. So where do you host your email servers if you don't mind me asking?
So that video should be out today, but what I personally do is keep a dirt-cheap cpanel hosting that I use for email only. It's the cheapest way. We are talking cheap, like the Hostinger $1 per month hosting. I would never dare put a website on the hosting, but email is not sensitive. Many others use Google Apps or something like that if they have clients because it's smarter to not be their email support desk.
Hi Stefan, this is Moeez from Cloudways. We unfortunately don't offer email hosting but you can always use the Rackspace add on that will cost you very little. Or you can host it anywhere you want as Cloudways supports all third party email hosting providers.
I would stick to 25 - 30 and then get a second server or scale the server up. Many agencies use Cloudways, there are great staging features, backup, all the stuff an agency needs.
20 to 30 ? 😂😶 definitely not, i moved my single site, and the single server(10usd plan) can't even handle 7 to 12 concurrent users. And RAM and Memory always 95% and above.
I was looking forward to this video. I will definitely try this out. Thanks for keeping us updated with the new tech available. I plan on using your how-to video to set my new VHF server up.
Hi Adam. Great video and you explained. your position in a much clearer way which I totally agree with. Hopefully, I'm not seen as a hater because I like you Adam and do a great job with your videos and training?
Great video as always Adam. Quick question. At one point you recommended Hostinger on BunnyCDN which includes LightSpeed which is super fast caching at the server level. Have you compared this Cloudways VultrHF option to the Hostinger option you recently recommended and if so what were the results?
Back end speed aside for a minute, front end site speed as experienced by an outside visitor (page load times etc.) are going to be faster on Cloudways Vltr HF than say WPX or Pantheon or Kinsta or Hostinger etc?
As fast, but in my experience, a bit faster, then the first 3, BUT you have to understand that they are adding a CDN, so for a true test you should to. When you use BunnyCDN it will cost pennies per month. Hostinger is not fast at all, and doesn't belong in that group of hosts.
Cool topic and thanks for putting it out there. I have been experimenting with AWS using EC2 to run cyberpanel but I get slowed down quite a bit having to SSH most server updates. The site performs well but the Admin is actually on the slow side. Will definitely check this out.
Yea that is why I think it's crazy to try and self-host. If you are ever experiencing something like that with Cloudways, you just open a ticket or live chat them and they will see what the problem is and fix it. They do all the maintaining of the server.
QUESTION: if you build a website on the Cloudways ☁️ Temporary URL, how do you add or transition to the New Domain ? -- Wondering about the steps and any trouble spots in the transition -- Do you need to 'migrate and redirect' or simply change the Temp URL to a new domain name without migration?
Hi there, this is Moeez from Cloudways You can do all your experiments on a staging site, when you are confident to move it on a live site, follow this KB. support.cloudways.com/how-do-i-take-my-website-live-from-cloudways/ If you have more questions let me know :)
Yes completely! Now there is a link to the full setup video in the video description. The key is to make sure you choose VultrHF, but there is also a new offering they have from Digital Ocean, is their premium service and its $1 less on the first plan :-).
Wow this is great! Looking forward on how you setup emails with cloudways and how you manage dns and domain stuffs :). I have been using SMTP as AmazonSES seems no more.purchased with your coupon.
Changed a site recently, nothing fancy, 7 or 8 pages, site speed on gtmetrix went from about 1.8 to 0.7. Very impressed so far but its early days for me
Hello! We have e-commerce (with woocommerce) chatbot and other plug ins. Also we do a lot of Seo and content. Is this hosting something for us? We use bluehost, but we need faster hosting
Thanks for the video, But why go with Vultr trough Cloudways and not from vultr directly? The price is lower at Vultr site than they are in Cloudways? I saw at Vultr that they also have an option to "one click install" of wordpress and other apps, Thank you very much
Having a one-click install is nice, but if you are brave and will never need support, never need staging, never need server-side caching, never need site cloning, never need an interface for the 100 other things involved with a setup like this, go for it :-). Then when you are done stepping over dollars to save a few pennies, you might want to consider Cloudways.
@@WPCrafter i got to believe that vultr themself is having a good interface (didnt got to checkthem fully). Is the server-side caching is on the cloudways platform? Not on the Vultr themself? And what makes site cloning with cloudways better? Isn't the wordpress plugins enough for doing the job? Thanks for the fast response :)
@@benalaluf4868 All these cloud providers give you is a way to see resources that are being used and a way to reboot the machine. There is no control panel for managing websites, you have to do that manually via a command-line interface.
Amazing. Is it possible to set different php versions for sub-domains? Often you can select a php version for every sub-domain. This is important for WordPress and other php-scripts ypu want to run in one domain.
UPDATE: Holy Freaking Cow....I loaded my slowest site like you suggested, GTMet has it at 10.5 second upload, after uploading it to Vultr it's loading less than 1 second, OMG, OMG, OMG.....
@@DenisMcCaul There may be an extra step. In Elementor settings, under tools, there is an option to replace the url. That is where you would place the old url and the new url.
Promising news indeed. We have a website at SG created with Thrive Architecht, while speed and cache are optimized through SG Optimizer plugin. What cache plugin would you recommend instead of this later in case of Vultr use at Cloudways?
Cloudways has their own, but the features are not as deep as SGOptimizer. It doesn't have image optimization and a few other performance options. They have told me they are working on expanding the features.
When setting up a new WordPress installation on Cloudways, what is the difference between selecting "WordPress Version 5.4.2" and Clean (No Cloudways Optimization) WordPress Version 5.4.2"? Thanks.
Hi! Thank you for the great video. Is it possible to install multiple wordpress installations on the same domain like on any other webhost? If so, can I do that on any of the cloud plans as long as I don't exceed the limits or do I need 1 cloud plan per domain or wordpress installation?
I can't comment on other providers, but one Cloudways server will host multiple domains with multiple WordPress installations. Cloudways come highly recommended - and I speak as somebody who has been doing this for decades...
Hi Joe, this is Moeez from Cloudways. You can launch as many WordPress installations on a single domain as long as you're not exceeding the server limit. You won't get charged for the installation but for the server.
Hey Adam, you answered my prayers, actually I sent you an email a few weeks ago asking you for a better solution and YOU'VE done it, THANK YOU. Anyway, I signed up and am testing it and you indicated towards the end of this video that you were going to have a video the following day with your settings and setup for Cloudways, I've gone coo coo trying to find it and haven't, can you please point me in the right direction. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Very interesting ... does Cloudways support hosting resellers. I have a hosting reseller account with NameHero where I use WHMCS to automatically configure and setup hosting packages for my clients (using WHM and cPanel). The WHMCS package also allows me to provide domain registration services to my clients and configure them in my clients hosting package without me having to do ANYTHING manually. Does Cloudways offer this or something similar for configuring your server?
Because they don't have a control panel to install and manage WordPress or apps. All they have is something to power the machine on or off. Not much of a control panel.
Thanks, this is great news. Though, I had problems with redis cache through easywp and namecheap with Cartflows. Cartflows checkout would constantly buffer or give me errors.
You mention a lot that it speeds up the back end experience. But obviously you also mean the front end performance speed are the best of the best? Better than Hostinger litespeed?
Yes so you will really feel it in the admin area, but yes, the front as well. Sometimes you can mask the front end right, with heavy caching, but you can't mask the admin area. I did try out Hostinger Litespeed and the TTFB is slower because it's stil shared hosting, but its a really low price. But Cloudways is giving you dedicated resources, that you don't share. So there is a bit of a difference there. It's really something you need to experience for yourself. Everyone that does can attest to how fast it is.
Hello Sir, I have a question.. if i use a pagebuilder or plugins in WP..and if I edit things with those does the old code stay in the wordpress site? And the new line written under? Or is it deleted and replaced by the new one??? Anybody with an answer would be helpful. Id like to know cus of pagespeed..
I dont' know how people are getting such good response from them. I have been on tech support for them now for over 40+ hours and the more they touch it the worse it gets
Adam great as usual. Have you looked into going direct to Vultr and spinning up a server and installing CyberPanel, which is an open-source control panel? You would save a shed load of money doing it this way when compared to Cloudways, especially the higher plans
Hey Ed, I think you also asked this in the Facebook Group :-). Just going to copy/paste my response here: Yes that is an open source control panel but I think there are some things you are not factoring in. When you had hosting at A2 hosting, they were managing and maintaining your server for you. If there was an issue, they dealt with it with priority, so fast that you wouldn't even know. So even though you only sought some help a few times related to your website, that doesn't mean everything else was hands off. So while you can put an open source control panel on a server, just make sure you know Linux and Linux commands to be able to know your way around. Prior to Cloudways I used Linode direct and gotta say, it was no walk in the park, and I do have experience with Linux and system admin. It wasn't a matter of if something goes wrong, it was more of a when something goes wrong, because it's going to happen. For me, I will never go direct again just to save $10 per month or whatever it ends up being.
Hello Adam! Would you recommend Cloudways VulturHF over NameHero and Hostinger? I run a WooCommerce product website. It has 1500 products but I only use them as a catalog. Is the VulturHF 13/month good enough?
Thanks a lot from France :-) I have the biggest french language video about CartFlows on UA-cam (this is also my biggest video on my channel right now ^^ not for long i think but still) and it is the least i can do to help you after all these months / years learning from your work. I always use your affiliate links and i hope i have paid you back many times. Look forward to the full stack video about cloudways... Keep uploading :-)
Oh awesome. I assume you are in the CartFlows referral program too? We have a great update coming out next week, native Elementor modules :-). No more shortcodes.
Just registered a trial and I'm super impressed and ready to migrate a LOT of websites :) BTW, what do you recommend for setting the DNS and email settings for the domains?
Can you please try and do a review on Google cloud platform? I know it doesn't have a friendly user interface. But apparently it is where all these hosting providers are getting their cloud servers. I would imagine that cutting out the middleman and going straight to the source would be the cheapest.
There are different levels of it. Most of the hosts uses the cheapest level of it which has stability and scalability, but is not faster then other options. Then there is Google Cloud Computer which is really expensive, this is where VultrHF (despite being inexpensive) is comparable to, but for a fraction of the cost.
Does anybody in the comments have this Vultr hosting work with the LearnDash platform? Did any of you notice any speed improvements when loading training? Did caching help or inhibit user training completion (the Mark Complete button)? Please let me know, everybody
Hello bro I hope u are doing well, can I build a rental website using WordPress on the 13 usd/m high frequency plan (can I run the website without any problems or should i rent the 26usd/ m plan or higher in order to run the website ). I need some advice before I mistakenly invest my money and thx for this useful tutorial
@@WPCrafter thank you for your reply as I am now considering what to offer to our clients. Currently we are running 2 websites on Linode as for a trial. But I was also considering Linode as Cloud Hosting for Application with scalability in mind. Not only hosting websites
@@WPCrafter Yes. Thats the true but as you mentioned for TECHIES they have a lot of documentation & if anyone is a developer I think LightSail is good. Whats your opinion ? Lets make this a healthy discussion.
@@HiAbhayKulkarni I never once in 15 years of having a website, have not needed support at some point for something. I can fix most things, but to give up access to any and all support to save a dollar, it's just a huge risk and I don't recommend it to anyone at all. Also if you read the fine print, their LightSail service is not using their best hardware. Then you get no WordPress specific features like backup or staging. It just not a great deal.
OK.. I switched from HostGator to NameHero.. but was not impressed with the support. After waiting TWO DAYS and receiving NO response.. I am done! You recommended GreenGeeks.. I used the chat feature over there and they seem like they have it together. But then.. NOW you have me all excited about Cloudways. 🙄 I have only used cPanel before.. so what does Cloudways use? I am an Interior Designer.. so definitely not super Techie when it comes to this stuff.
Hi Adam! Excellent video 🤓 Do you know if Cloudways has an inode limit? Is that info available somewhere? I manage some high inode sites that won’t be able to fit in less than the 250.000 limit some servers have and need to be really careful with that if I want to migrate. Thanks! 💪🏽🔥
Can I put more than 1 wp site on one vultr plan on cloudways ? I means 1 gb is enough for me to host 4-5 sites because of less data. So can I put them all on single account or do I have to buy multiple ?
Yes you can have as many websites as the resources will allow. Rember they will all be sharing the resources that you choose, so maybe you fit 10 websites or 20 websites, it all depends on how resource hungry the websites are.
Hi Adam! im interested, but i wanna know, which server location should i use if im located in Latin America (Colombia)? is it fast enough is the server is far away?
Hi there, this is Moeez from Cloudways. For emails you have a couple of options. You can use the premium Rackspace add on that we offer at a very low price. Or you can host email on any third party email hosting provider.
Adam, I’m afraid I’m confused about Cloudways billing. According to their knowledge base they state “Cloudways is a Pay-as-You-Go service, so you pay only for the resources you consume. You will be invoiced for the services used in any given month at the start of the next month.” Yet their pricing page shows a per month cost. This scares me because I don’t want to get an invoice for some unknown amount. Do you have any insight on this? Thanks, Bill
Hi Bill, this is Moeez from Cloudways. I understand that this might be confusing, let me clear it for you. Monthly billing is calculated through hourly usage so the pay as you go actually means that at the end of the month, you will be billed by the hours you have utilized your server resources. As for your invoice, you wont pay for anything you haven't chosen already. The billing is very transparent and therefore there are zero discrepancies .
I was considering Kinsta, but after this video, one question, would I have to do constant manual upkeep of the website hosted on cloudways? I looked at them before but got scared of the "work" i am so new to websites! And i will be using major plug ins such as buddyboss, learndash elementor pro and a membership plugin with some extra add ons and some webpages loaded with parallax as it is art based project. Any advice?! I will buy all the plugins from your links in a couple of months. I am still looking best option for membership plug in. As i want to sell memberships and courses to my members. So abit difficult to get my head arround this! But from this video it looks like a best option for me would be cloudways.
There is nothing that Kinsta give you over this new Cloudways option with VultrHF. Well there is one thing, the Kinsta support is stellar, super friendly. Cloudways support is effective, not as friendly, maybe a little bit more technical. But they still get the job done. As far as upkeep or WordPress specific features, they are the same, and with the new VultrHF option, they will per form the same, but I give the edge to Cloudways. Kinsta Support: Hey Adam, hows the wether there in California Cloudways Support: What is your ip address
Also can you make a video telling everyone to switch to Google domains? It is so amazingly simple. And also I purchased a g suite account for $6 a month which gives me all sorts of cool features with my business class email address
Not sure I understand. Oh wait, I understand / remember now, yea the only difference is there is nothing installed unlike other hosts that put a bunch of crap in. The other options are fine, they will include the Cloudways caching plugin Breeze.
One account or one server? Well, with one account, you can launch a countless number of servers(there's no limit), and with a single server, you can install numerous applications (no limit).
Hi Adam, great video and info I'll be giving this a go! I get a bit stuck on email hosting to go with cloud hosting, I'll check your videos for info but thanks for all the great videos you make.
Video today will be on my exact setup for Cloudways. But you simply have to use an external service and I will show you how that works. They optionally have an option where you can buy Rackmail email accounts for $1 per month.
Thanks for sharing this. It sounds great and something I would like to try for my website. I am using Dreamhost for hosting, along with Cloudflare. Also using WP Rocket plugin. Will I need to use a CDN with this new hosting service?
You will see a massive speed boost. Yea I always recommend a CDN, you may know I prefer BunnyCDN, but you can add one with in Cloudways, but BunnyCDN is cheaper.
@@WPCrafter Thanks for your reply. I've invested a lot of time and small fortune to have someone optimize my site for speed. Still not impressed with load time. Looking forward to your video update on your Cloudways setup.
@@P47894 You certainly can use it, my personal experience is BunnyCDN is better but it's debatable. This it's only a few pennies more, it's worth it to me.
Just learn some basics and use AWS Lightsail. Costs $5/month as compared to basic plan on cloudways of $30/month for the same (In fact more in AWS) configuration. And the strange part is they are using AWS at backend. Does not make sense to shell out this kind of money for same service. Just speaking in general Adam, thanks for showing the option.
AWS is is so much more than a basic plan and the prices are really competitive but it depends on what resources you’re using, what technologies you’re leveraging for your needs, how AWS is contributing to devops. Security, analytics, BI, and seasoned subject matter experts in business development, engineering web architects, developed team’s committed to success and more. Considering all that, we we have at our finger tips, $5 is as good as free access to this experience and and tools
You are talking about Lightsail. Cloudways don't offer Lightsail, the servers that are available on Cloudways are EC2 instances. EC2 instances are much expensive than Lightsail.
@@Anas4083 That's the point, many users won't even need the power and flexibility of EC2 as they are accustomed to the previous generations of web hosting. Then too there are some questions as to EC2 are primarily Pay-as-you-go then Cloudways setting up $30 seems dicey. What happens if I start utilizing servers way more than intended. Even Reserved EC2 instance have limitations.
Anas Moiz Hashmi yea I have been using AWS EC2 and I have had good results with The Amz Elastic Compute Cloud Linux with 726 hrs last month cost $0, EBS 2 general purpose SSDs billed for 30GB+90.766Gb cost $9, and 1 elastic IP cost $3.65 so about $12 per month with1800 visitors and total bandwidth 1.08g. July was only $.81. There seems to be a ton of options to customize your resources, CPU, and everything else which makes it kind of confusing but it might be nice to have that level of control to improve performance or budget. On the other hand, both light sail and cloud ways seem to be less complicated which had it’s benefits too. My favorite part of all this is my Shopify store is just as fast as any other site I tinkered with and my infusion soft landing pages smoke all of them
Yes that is the thing, this does not include email. That is why I consider it "more techie". They do have a deal with Rackspace for $1 per email per month. But you can have your email hosted anyway you like.

First I thought, what better than Cloudways he could find. And here is such a surprise. Thank you Adam. Great job!
Yes VultrHF is real. For anyone already on Cloudways, you just gotta spin up a new server, push your slowest website, and test it. People are switching over to it like crazy because why not, just a few dollars extra for a ton more performance.
This is fantastic news Adam as I started switching all my sites over to Cloudways a few months ago. Thanks again!
You you really need to add a VultrHF server, then move a site over to see how it performs. After that, I bet you move all your sites to the new server.
Actually I have done that many times with Cloudways, add a new server then push the apps over to it.
I'd been thinking to trying HF out and this video pushed me to commit. The speed increase is noticeable. I noticed it especially when deleting redundant applications. It was easy to clone the old server to a new HF server and it was a bit of work re-activating premium plugin licenses on the new server, but it was worth it. For an extra 2 bucks it's a bargain. Thanks, Adam, for nudging them to implementing it.
I have learned more secrets about WordPress and hosting from you than any other channel. Keep the videos coming and thank you.
Just trying to level the playing field.
Bro I never comment lol but you legit are my new hero! THANK YOU
Thanks. Just trying to bring the truth.
Love your videos, Adam! You always have me challenging my WordPress processes and making my sites better. I've been happy with my Digital Ocean droplet managed witn SpinupWP but Cloudways' temporary URL would make life much easier.
I gotta say, the temp url is like my favorite convenience feature. I use them all the time. I am surprised no other company can copied the idea. Well SiteGround did recently add it but its not so easy to connect a domain name to it.
I’ve again taken your advice and, with the clarifications from Cloudways in this discussion, I’ve created a new account on Cloudways using their VULTR High Frequency monthly plan. I'm using a new site to test this out so no migration will be needed. BTW, You're right about their dashboard responsiveness, at least for the little I've done so far. It's snappy!
Thanks again,
Bill
You are such a great help, Adam! Thank you!
OK...wow...this is an amazing video, Adam. I've suffered from Cloudways envy for quite awhile now...I tried it about a year ago...tried it twice, and even my sites ran OK, I was so disappointed in the technical support that I gave up both times. But now...after getting all turned on by this video, I'm going to *have* to try it again...can't resist it. Thanks for your great video, and I'm looking forward to the followup video you mentioned.
Hi there, this is Moeez from Cloudways.
I agree that there were issues with the support but fortunately, that is the thing of the past. We have worked tireless to improve our support by hiring new talent and training through our own academy which has equipped them to better deal with our customers and their queries.
I am sure now that you will return to us, you will experience much better support :)
@@mohammedmoeez7457 Thanks for the note. I definitely will try it again...sometime soon.
Great! I'm convinced with Cloudways VULTR HF at $13/month for many WP websites
Sometimes things just drop into place. Cloudways it is. Thanks Adam. 👍
Very true! If you go the VultrHF route, I would love to hear how it worked out. I first started talking about it in my Facebook group, and as people tried it, they echoed the same thing I am in this video.
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies I was looking at the HF option and actually thinking (after reading the blog post on Cloudways website) all this for £6 more? I’m signing up on Fri and trying it out over weekend. Your videos on WP aspects are excellent, and are helping me no end with what I want to achieve. Cheers for now 👍
Great video Adam!
Thanks!
I'll be trying this out tonight. I'm moving all my sites over :)
Yep, please come back here to report on your experience.
Any news about the the cloudways setup video?
Really appreciated this video and the other Cloudways video you made. Thank you!
I've seen you talk about problems with Varnish on multiple videos but I've yet to see you explain what its purpose is. What exactly does Varnish do and why would I consider having it enabled?
I covered it in my full setup video. Its server-side caching. ua-cam.com/video/wSbhhpYaSiw/v-deo.html
How does this compare to the liteSpeed products you have mentioned before?
Lightspeed is great for low budget yet performance. Cloudways will get you dedicated resources that you don't have to share with others.
@@WPCrafter hi Adam.. would you therefore recommend lots of client sites are on a light speed server for example namehero... and my own sites are powered by cloudways vultr HF? This maybe the best solution for price and performed?
So Adam, hope you are well. Whatever happened to that other video you mentioned in this one at 17:42 that details your Cloudways setup? THAT would be very helpful.
Gonna try this too, tested the litespeed setup but it's still quite slow in locations far from the original hosting location, even though I'm using Bunny CDN.
This is EXCELLENT Adam! Really appreciate what you do for us. Will click your link and check this out.
It was a big game changer for me last December. Huge change.
whats your opinion about Upcloud ??
Where is the video promised in this video on Vultr and how you set up the sites? I signed up for cloud ways but am waiting for you video on Vultr
Sounds fantastic. Definitely will give it a try.
In the past, I had used SiteGround (very satisfied with them until they raised the price from about $160 per year to over $400), and currently am using a2 and Hostinger. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and I'm not really happy with either one of them; they are ok but not great.
So where do you host your email servers if you don't mind me asking?
So that video should be out today, but what I personally do is keep a dirt-cheap cpanel hosting that I use for email only. It's the cheapest way. We are talking cheap, like the Hostinger $1 per month hosting. I would never dare put a website on the hosting, but email is not sensitive. Many others use Google Apps or something like that if they have clients because it's smarter to not be their email support desk.
I changed to A2 hosting recently - support is rubbish. Namecheap was best for support - instant - but I had security issues and hence changed
Hi Stefan, this is Moeez from Cloudways.
We unfortunately don't offer email hosting but you can always use the Rackspace add on that will cost you very little. Or you can host it anywhere you want as Cloudways supports all third party email hosting providers.
Is Vultr better than Lightsail from Amazon? They have a very close prices.
Can you advise please?
How many sites would you recommend to host on a single server (for my clients). Simple, non e commerce sites.
I would stick to 25 - 30 and then get a second server or scale the server up. Many agencies use Cloudways, there are great staging features, backup, all the stuff an agency needs.
20 to 30 ? 😂😶 definitely not, i moved my single site, and the single server(10usd plan) can't even handle 7 to 12 concurrent users. And RAM and Memory always 95% and above.
@@roverdeb Lol, if you expect someone to believe that. Go take your fake news elsewhere.
@@WPCrafter great! Thanks. I'm making the switch.
My dynamic website easily handled 21 concurrent users on cloudways. CPU and RAM remained same.
I was looking forward to this video. I will definitely try this out. Thanks for keeping us updated with the new tech available. I plan on using your how-to video to set my new VHF server up.
That will be out later today and I really want to hear your experience after giving it a go.
Hi Adam. Great video and you explained. your position in a much clearer way which I totally agree with. Hopefully, I'm not seen as a hater because I like you Adam and do a great job with your videos and training?
Working on it :-)
Great video as always Adam.
Quick question. At one point you recommended Hostinger on BunnyCDN which includes LightSpeed which is super fast caching at the server level. Have you compared this Cloudways VultrHF option to the Hostinger option you recently recommended and if so what were the results?
Back end speed aside for a minute, front end site speed as experienced by an outside visitor (page load times etc.) are going to be faster on Cloudways Vltr HF than say WPX or Pantheon or Kinsta or Hostinger etc?
As fast, but in my experience, a bit faster, then the first 3, BUT you have to understand that they are adding a CDN, so for a true test you should to. When you use BunnyCDN it will cost pennies per month. Hostinger is not fast at all, and doesn't belong in that group of hosts.
17:45 where is the video?
If I am using WP-Rocket, can I disable Redis?
so you pay for cloud plus usage fee ?
Cool topic and thanks for putting it out there. I have been experimenting with AWS using EC2 to run cyberpanel but I get slowed down quite a bit having to SSH most server updates. The site performs well but the Admin is actually on the slow side. Will definitely check this out.
Yea that is why I think it's crazy to try and self-host. If you are ever experiencing something like that with Cloudways, you just open a ticket or live chat them and they will see what the problem is and fix it. They do all the maintaining of the server.
Thanks!! But I have got a question.
Try Google page speed testing these provider’s homepage.
Seems like Linode is performing better than Vultur?
QUESTION: if you build a website on the Cloudways ☁️ Temporary URL, how do you add or transition to the New Domain ?
--
Wondering about the steps and any trouble spots in the transition
--
Do you need to 'migrate and redirect' or simply change the Temp URL to a new domain name without migration?
Hi there, this is Moeez from Cloudways
You can do all your experiments on a staging site, when you are confident to move it on a live site, follow this KB.
support.cloudways.com/how-do-i-take-my-website-live-from-cloudways/
If you have more questions let me know :)
Thanks Adam! I know this vid is a little older. I’m Considering a switch fr current hosting. Are you still recommending this as a top option?
Yes completely! Now there is a link to the full setup video in the video description. The key is to make sure you choose VultrHF, but there is also a new offering they have from Digital Ocean, is their premium service and its $1 less on the first plan :-).
Wow this is great! Looking forward on how you setup emails with cloudways and how you manage dns and domain stuffs :). I have been using SMTP as AmazonSES seems no more.purchased with your coupon.
How many WordPress websites do you recommend to use on the $13 plan
Interesting! Thanks for the video. However, any tutorial on where to register your domain names and how to link those?
and how to configure the emails? do you have additional cost?
Hey, so with your current setup, do you still disable Varnish?
How does cloudways speeds compare to namehero or A2?
Changed a site recently, nothing fancy, 7 or 8 pages, site speed on gtmetrix went from about 1.8 to 0.7. Very impressed so far but its early days for me
Exciting news! Thanks for advocating for this. I look forward to trying it out.
Throw your slowest website at it, I am sure you will immediately see the difference. Especially if the admin area is slow.
Hello! We have e-commerce (with woocommerce) chatbot and other plug ins. Also we do a lot of Seo and content. Is this hosting something for us? We use bluehost, but we need faster hosting
Thanks for the video,
But why go with Vultr trough Cloudways and not from vultr directly? The price is lower at Vultr site than they are in Cloudways?
I saw at Vultr that they also have an option to "one click install" of wordpress and other apps,
Thank you very much
Having a one-click install is nice, but if you are brave and will never need support, never need staging, never need server-side caching, never need site cloning, never need an interface for the 100 other things involved with a setup like this, go for it :-).
Then when you are done stepping over dollars to save a few pennies, you might want to consider Cloudways.
@@WPCrafter i got to believe that vultr themself is having a good interface (didnt got to checkthem fully).
Is the server-side caching is on the cloudways platform? Not on the Vultr themself?
And what makes site cloning with cloudways better? Isn't the wordpress plugins enough for doing the job?
Thanks for the fast response :)
@@benalaluf4868 All these cloud providers give you is a way to see resources that are being used and a way to reboot the machine. There is no control panel for managing websites, you have to do that manually via a command-line interface.
How many visitors a month does cloudways allow on their plans?
Amazing. Is it possible to set different php versions for sub-domains? Often you can select a php version for every sub-domain. This is important for WordPress and other php-scripts ypu want to run in one domain.
Sorry, I don't think you can.
UPDATE: Holy Freaking Cow....I loaded my slowest site like you suggested, GTMet has it at 10.5 second upload, after uploading it to Vultr it's loading less than 1 second, OMG, OMG, OMG.....
I just came here looking for this comment! lol.
Thanks for the video Adam. I would recommend cloudways migration plugin over wpvivid for the transfer. It is easier to use, faster and it works great.
Is that the BlogVault made one?
The Cloudways migration tool does not work well with Elementor sites, I migrated multiple Elementor sites and it caused a lot of issues
@@DenisMcCaul There may be an extra step. In Elementor settings, under tools, there is an option to replace the url. That is where you would place the old url and the new url.
Promising news indeed. We have a website at SG created with Thrive Architecht, while speed and cache are optimized through SG Optimizer plugin. What cache plugin would you recommend instead of this later in case of Vultr use at Cloudways?
Cloudways has their own, but the features are not as deep as SGOptimizer. It doesn't have image optimization and a few other performance options. They have told me they are working on expanding the features.
@@WPCrafter Thank you. Is it worth to consider for example WP Rocket in this transitional period till we get a full featured plugin from Cloudways?
@@zoltankemenes1981 I would try Breeze first, or instead, Perfmaters would get you more.
That Siteground discount doesn't work my bro
When setting up a new WordPress installation on Cloudways, what is the difference between selecting "WordPress Version 5.4.2" and Clean (No Cloudways Optimization) WordPress Version 5.4.2"? Thanks.
Answer from Cloudways: "Basically the "No Cloudways Optimization" one does not come installed with our "Breeze" plugin for optimization."
Hi!
Thank you for the great video.
Is it possible to install multiple wordpress installations on the same domain like on any other webhost?
If so, can I do that on any of the cloud plans as long as I don't exceed the limits or do I need 1 cloud plan per domain or wordpress installation?
I can't comment on other providers, but one Cloudways server will host multiple domains with multiple WordPress installations. Cloudways come highly recommended - and I speak as somebody who has been doing this for decades...
In a subfolder? I actually have never tried it, I don't see why you couldn't, but I haven't tried.
Hi Joe, this is Moeez from Cloudways.
You can launch as many WordPress installations on a single domain as long as you're not exceeding the server limit. You won't get charged for the installation but for the server.
Hey Adam, you answered my prayers, actually I sent you an email a few weeks ago asking you for a better solution and YOU'VE done it, THANK YOU. Anyway, I signed up and am testing it and you indicated towards the end of this video that you were going to have a video the following day with your settings and setup for Cloudways, I've gone coo coo trying to find it and haven't, can you please point me in the right direction. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Has anyone experience issues also with the wp update 5.5 with their sites?
Yep, it caused lots of issues for people.
Very interesting ... does Cloudways support hosting resellers. I have a hosting reseller account with NameHero where I use WHMCS to automatically configure and setup hosting packages for my clients (using WHM and cPanel). The WHMCS package also allows me to provide domain registration services to my clients and configure them in my clients hosting package without me having to do ANYTHING manually.
Does Cloudways offer this or something similar for configuring your server?
Why not instling a control panel on vultr ??
Because they don't have a control panel to install and manage WordPress or apps. All they have is something to power the machine on or off. Not much of a control panel.
Thanks, this is great news. Though, I had problems with redis cache through easywp and namecheap with Cartflows. Cartflows checkout would constantly buffer or give me errors.
Which hosting and plan should I use for 50k users per day ?
You mention a lot that it speeds up the back end experience. But obviously you also mean the front end performance speed are the best of the best? Better than Hostinger litespeed?
Yes so you will really feel it in the admin area, but yes, the front as well. Sometimes you can mask the front end right, with heavy caching, but you can't mask the admin area.
I did try out Hostinger Litespeed and the TTFB is slower because it's stil shared hosting, but its a really low price. But Cloudways is giving you dedicated resources, that you don't share. So there is a bit of a difference there.
It's really something you need to experience for yourself. Everyone that does can attest to how fast it is.
Awesome, thank you!
Is the new in-depth tutorial that you mention coming soon? Would love go see a deep dive into Cloudways and all your Vultr configurations.
Hello Sir, I have a question.. if i use a pagebuilder or plugins in WP..and if I edit things with those does the old code stay in the wordpress site? And the new line written under? Or is it deleted and replaced by the new one???
Anybody with an answer would be helpful. Id like to know cus of pagespeed..
Unfortunately, Eurasia data center locations are not too dense 🤔
I dont' know how people are getting such good response from them. I have been on tech support for them now for over 40+ hours and the more they touch it the worse it gets
Adam great as usual. Have you looked into going direct to Vultr and spinning up a server and installing CyberPanel, which is an open-source control panel? You would save a shed load of money doing it this way when compared to Cloudways, especially the higher plans
Hey Ed, I think you also asked this in the Facebook Group :-). Just going to copy/paste my response here:
Yes that is an open source control panel but I think there are some things you are not factoring in. When you had hosting at A2 hosting, they were managing and maintaining your server for you. If there was an issue, they dealt with it with priority, so fast that you wouldn't even know. So even though you only sought some help a few times related to your website, that doesn't mean everything else was hands off. So while you can put an open source control panel on a server, just make sure you know Linux and Linux commands to be able to know your way around.
Prior to Cloudways I used Linode direct and gotta say, it was no walk in the park, and I do have experience with Linux and system admin. It wasn't a matter of if something goes wrong, it was more of a when something goes wrong, because it's going to happen. For me, I will never go direct again just to save $10 per month or whatever it ends up being.
Hello Adam! Would you recommend Cloudways VulturHF over NameHero and Hostinger?
I run a WooCommerce product website. It has 1500 products but I only use them as a catalog.
Is the VulturHF 13/month good enough?
It's more based on how much traffic you get on your website vs how many pieces of content.
Thanks a lot from France :-) I have the biggest french language video about CartFlows on UA-cam (this is also my biggest video on my channel right now ^^ not for long i think but still) and it is the least i can do to help you after all these months / years learning from your work. I always use your affiliate links and i hope i have paid you back many times. Look forward to the full stack video about cloudways... Keep uploading :-)
Oh awesome. I assume you are in the CartFlows referral program too? We have a great update coming out next week, native Elementor modules :-). No more shortcodes.
@@WPCrafter I can't wait for that update
Great ! Informative.
Just registered a trial and I'm super impressed and ready to migrate a LOT of websites :)
BTW, what do you recommend for setting the DNS and email settings for the domains?
Can you please try and do a review on Google cloud platform? I know it doesn't have a friendly user interface. But apparently it is where all these hosting providers are getting their cloud servers. I would imagine that cutting out the middleman and going straight to the source would be the cheapest.
There are different levels of it. Most of the hosts uses the cheapest level of it which has stability and scalability, but is not faster then other options. Then there is Google Cloud Computer which is really expensive, this is where VultrHF (despite being inexpensive) is comparable to, but for a fraction of the cost.
Does anybody in the comments have this Vultr hosting work with the LearnDash platform? Did any of you notice any speed improvements when loading training? Did caching help or inhibit user training completion (the Mark Complete button)? Please let me know, everybody
Hello bro I hope u are doing well, can I build a rental website using WordPress on the 13 usd/m high frequency plan (can I run the website without any problems or should i rent the 26usd/ m plan or higher in order to run the website ).
I need some advice before I mistakenly invest my money and thx for this useful tutorial
What is your opinion on Linode as they share same pricing policy?
Nothing comes close to VultrHF. I have used all of them.
@@WPCrafter thank you for your reply as I am now considering what to offer to our clients. Currently we are running 2 websites on Linode as for a trial. But I was also considering Linode as Cloud Hosting for Application with scalability in mind. Not only hosting websites
For budget you can try AWS LightSail. Its amazing !
No its not where near as fast and you get ZERO support, none. You are completely on your own.
@@WPCrafter Yes. Thats the true but as you mentioned for TECHIES they have a lot of documentation & if anyone is a developer I think LightSail is good. Whats your opinion ? Lets make this a healthy discussion.
@@HiAbhayKulkarni I never once in 15 years of having a website, have not needed support at some point for something. I can fix most things, but to give up access to any and all support to save a dollar, it's just a huge risk and I don't recommend it to anyone at all. Also if you read the fine print, their LightSail service is not using their best hardware. Then you get no WordPress specific features like backup or staging. It just not a great deal.
OK.. I switched from HostGator to NameHero.. but was not impressed with the support. After waiting TWO DAYS and receiving NO response.. I am done! You recommended GreenGeeks.. I used the chat feature over there and they seem like they have it together. But then.. NOW you have me all excited about Cloudways. 🙄 I have only used cPanel before.. so what does Cloudways use? I am an Interior Designer.. so definitely not super Techie when it comes to this stuff.
Good pluguing 👍🙋♂️
Does this blow litepeed out of the water? is it faster or much faster?
It is because you get dedicated resources. Litespeed is still shared hosting.
Adam , could you comment on GVO webhosting? Thank you
Never heard of them.
Hi Adam! Excellent video 🤓
Do you know if Cloudways has an inode limit? Is that info available somewhere?
I manage some high inode sites that won’t be able to fit in less than the 250.000 limit some servers have and need to be really careful with that if I want to migrate.
Thanks! 💪🏽🔥
Nope, that is a shared hosting thing. Your only limit is the storage limit on the plan you choose. The $13 plan was 35 gigs of space.
Can I put more than 1 wp site on one vultr plan on cloudways ? I means 1 gb is enough for me to host 4-5 sites because of less data. So can I put them all on single account or do I have to buy multiple ?
Yes you can have as many websites as the resources will allow. Rember they will all be sharing the resources that you choose, so maybe you fit 10 websites or 20 websites, it all depends on how resource hungry the websites are.
@@WPCrafter Thanks for clearing my doubts. Its really cheaper than shared hosting for my requirements. Thanks. I am joining by your referral link.
Hi Adam,
Just curious what are you using for a mail server solution to compliment this high speed service?
Following
Going to cover this in a video today :-)
I love how you are always on top of these topics! thanks Adam!
Hi Adam! im interested, but i wanna know, which server location should i use if im located in Latin America (Colombia)? is it fast enough is the server is far away?
you must choose server closer to your site viewers not close to you
this looks great and will be something I consider when my SiteGround comes up for renewal. Just have to figure out what to do for emails.
Hi there, this is Moeez from Cloudways.
For emails you have a couple of options. You can use the premium Rackspace add on that we offer at a very low price. Or you can host email on any third party email hosting provider.
nice job
Adam,
I’m afraid I’m confused about Cloudways billing. According to their knowledge base they state “Cloudways is a Pay-as-You-Go service, so you pay only for the resources you consume. You will be invoiced for the services used in any given month at the start of the next month.” Yet their pricing page shows a per month cost. This scares me because I don’t want to get an invoice for some unknown amount. Do you have any insight on this?
Thanks,
Bill
Hi Bill, this is Moeez from Cloudways.
I understand that this might be confusing, let me clear it for you. Monthly billing is calculated through hourly usage so the pay as you go actually means that at the end of the month, you will be billed by the hours you have utilized your server resources.
As for your invoice, you wont pay for anything you haven't chosen already. The billing is very transparent and therefore there are zero discrepancies
.
@@mohammedmoeez7457 Ok, this is starting too make sense. I had ignored the fact that Cloudways also has hourly billing. Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the tip. New subscriber!
I was considering Kinsta, but after this video, one question, would I have to do constant manual upkeep of the website hosted on cloudways? I looked at them before but got scared of the "work" i am so new to websites! And i will be using major plug ins such as buddyboss, learndash elementor pro and a membership plugin with some extra add ons and some webpages loaded with parallax as it is art based project. Any advice?! I will buy all the plugins from your links in a couple of months. I am still looking best option for membership plug in. As i want to sell memberships and courses to my members. So abit difficult to get my head arround this! But from this video it looks like a best option for me would be cloudways.
There is nothing that Kinsta give you over this new Cloudways option with VultrHF. Well there is one thing, the Kinsta support is stellar, super friendly. Cloudways support is effective, not as friendly, maybe a little bit more technical. But they still get the job done. As far as upkeep or WordPress specific features, they are the same, and with the new VultrHF option, they will per form the same, but I give the edge to Cloudways.
Kinsta Support: Hey Adam, hows the wether there in California
Cloudways Support: What is your ip address
@@WPCrafter Sounds great. Thank you so much for all the help
Also can you make a video telling everyone to switch to Google domains? It is so amazingly simple. And also I purchased a g suite account for $6 a month which gives me all sorts of cool features with my business class email address
Sure I will look into it. Personally I use the same name registration place, but it is more out of habit then anything.
Why "Clean" installation? BTW - trying it right now
Not sure I understand. Oh wait, I understand / remember now, yea the only difference is there is nothing installed unlike other hosts that put a bunch of crap in. The other options are fine, they will include the Cloudways caching plugin Breeze.
@@WPCrafter Thanks
Have you had any experiences of Cloudways customer support Adam? I’ve heard they’re not very good.
Simply put, good but not great. That's different from the quality of their hosting service though
Hi Adam, do you know how many wp applications one can install in one account?
You could easily do 30 or more.
One account or one server? Well, with one account, you can launch a countless number of servers(there's no limit), and with a single server, you can install numerous applications (no limit).
@@WPCrafter Awesome - thanks Adam!

Atleast, can I know where to buy the Domain Name from, as it will keep my Domain Name secured.
Just learn some basics and use AWS Lightsail. Costs $5/month as compared to basic plan on cloudways of $30/month for the same (In fact more in AWS) configuration. And the strange part is they are using AWS at backend. Does not make sense to shell out this kind of money for same service. Just speaking in general Adam, thanks for showing the option.
AWS is is so much more than a basic plan and the prices are really competitive but it depends on what resources you’re using, what technologies you’re leveraging for your needs, how AWS is contributing to devops. Security, analytics, BI, and seasoned subject matter experts in business development, engineering web architects, developed team’s committed to success and more. Considering all that, we we have at our finger tips, $5 is as good as free access to this experience and and tools
You are talking about Lightsail. Cloudways don't offer Lightsail, the servers that are available on Cloudways are EC2 instances. EC2 instances are much expensive than Lightsail.
@@Anas4083 That's the point, many users won't even need the power and flexibility of EC2 as they are accustomed to the previous generations of web hosting. Then too there are some questions as to EC2 are primarily Pay-as-you-go then Cloudways setting up $30 seems dicey. What happens if I start utilizing servers way more than intended. Even Reserved EC2 instance have limitations.
Anas Moiz Hashmi yea I have been using AWS EC2 and I have had good results with The Amz Elastic Compute Cloud Linux with 726 hrs last month cost $0, EBS 2 general purpose SSDs billed for 30GB+90.766Gb cost $9, and 1 elastic IP cost $3.65 so about $12 per month with1800 visitors and total bandwidth 1.08g. July was only $.81. There seems to be a ton of options to customize your resources, CPU, and everything else which makes it kind of confusing but it might be nice to have that level of control to improve performance or budget. On the other hand, both light sail and cloud ways seem to be less complicated which had it’s benefits too. My favorite part of all this is my Shopify store is just as fast as any other site I tinkered with and my infusion soft landing pages smoke all of them
Do they have email support? Or am I gonna have to sign up for G Suite to get my emails working?
Yes that is the thing, this does not include email. That is why I consider it "more techie". They do have a deal with Rackspace for $1 per email per month. But you can have your email hosted anyway you like.
