Cloudways + Vultr HF. Been very impressed with HF since I started using it a few months ago. A lot faster than others I tried like DO and standard vultr.

I also use Cloudways. It’s very easy to use. I use a digital ocean with staging server to update there then push changes. 👍

Cloudways, super easy to use, super fast and cost effective (we run 5 sites on a single instance for ~40$/month)

I just finished migrating our sites from @wpengine #wordpress #hosting to @Cloudways So happy, too! We have faster/same speed. But pay 80% less with Cloudways! Wish I'd done this sooner. If you haven't already, check out Cloudways – https://t.co/FnOGot6pc8

Preparing for the May update and struggling to get the speed score to 100? Switch to @Cloudways. I moved from my long-time hosting provider and @Cloudways blows them out of the water. (You will still need to do some on-site tweaking…) #WordPress #wordpresswebsite #webhosting

Tried MANY plugins to speed up WordPress which do seem do make Google's PageSpeed score better but "real" speed never really improved. Moved host after 10 years to @Cloudways and I'm amazed at REAL speed improvements, and so the transfers begin!

@Cloudways Thank you so much for your amazing support team. Can't believe how much faster my WP site is now that I switched to you… not even close to my old host. So important w Google's new SEO rules. ⚡️

I wish I had discovered @Cloudways earlier. Their services and support are just amazing!

you might want to try @Cloudways – I've been using them for years, powered by Digital Ocean, AWS & Google Cloud (the worth ones)

Great to have @Cloudways on board again – we use them for our hosting and got MEGA speed improvements when we switched. Lovely team too. https://t.co/iLUEOZxNrR

Cloudways is strangely fast, literally. I mean, I don’t know why but it’s just fast.

How Cloudways stacks up VS other managed cloud hosts
When you’re looking for managed hosting, there’s only one thing you really want to know: “Which one will give me the best performance for the lowest price?” We ran tests to find out, and the numbers speak for themselves:
MONTHLY VISITS
BANDWIDTH
STORAGE
Whether you run an agency, a small business or a blog with WordPress, you get better performance with Cloudways, hands-down
Other managed hosting plans put limits on the number of visits and websites you can have, so you max out on traffic well before you use up the “high-performance” server resources you paid for.
WITH OTHER MANAGED HOSTS …
You get locked into low traffic and website limits, while STILL having to pay extra for performance “add-ons” like Redis and NGinx.
WITH CLOUDWAYS …
You can serve 10 to 50 TIMES the visitors per month on as many websites as you want, without sacrificing speed or paying extra fees.
“More visitors sounds great — but what about speed?”
If you think a 10X boost in visitors has to come with a catch, think again: Not only does Cloudways handle an astonishingly higher volume of traffic, it significantly outperforms on server response times, to boot.
AVERAGE RESponse times
The secret to Cloudways’ (shockingly good) performance
Time and again, businesses see a boost in speed & uptime just by switching to Cloudways. Why? Because of the Cloudways Thunderstack: a PHP stack packed with the world’s best server software, installed on the world’s best cloud providers. The result: noticeably faster websites, right out of the box.
Say Hello To Our Blazing-Fast Thunderstack
NGINX
This super-fast, wildly popular web server powers over 40% of the busiest websites in the world.
Apache
Reliable, battle-tested, and easy-to-use, Apache is the go-to web server for WordPress sites.
Memcached
A high-performance, in-memory data store that speeds up dynamic, database-driven sites with simple, efficient caching.
MySQL/MariaDB
Both of these powerful databases are built into the Thunderstack so you can choose whichever you prefer with a few clicks.
Varnish Cache
An absolute must-have for cloud-hosted websites, Varnish can boost site speeds by up to 10X.
PHP-FPM
This advanced PHP caching mechanism is deceptively powerful, boosting site performance by up to 300%.
Redis
Optional and ready to use at any time, this in-memory data store improves response times and helps ensures high availability.
PHP 8
The most advanced branch of PHP optimizes performance while retaining near-perfect compatibility with previous versions.
Pre-Installed On These World-Class Cloud Providers
Best of all: Cloudways performs better and costs LESS than other managed cloud hosts
Sounds wild, but it’s true: Cloudways not only delivers better performance to way more visitors, it actually costs less than half of what other WordPress hosting plans charge.
100,000 visitors max
10 WordPress installs
UNLIMITED visitors
UNLIMITED websites

Super speed compared to other shared web hosting plans
The thing I like with Cloudways its super speed as compared to other shared web hosting plans available in the market. The price of the cloudways is so reasonable, and anyone can start with its basic plan of $10. The customer support team is so talented and supportive and readily available to resolve any concerns.

Not only cost less than what I was paying, but also so much faster
I needed to move our busy e-commerce website hosted on a shared hosting environment to a faster web host. Cloudways not only cost less than what I was paying, but it’s also so much faster. We went from our website taking over 10-seconds to load to under 2-seconds. Very impressed.
