Friendly Customer Support
Customer support and going server maintenance is the main reason I picked Cloudways. The price for the service and cloud providers is also better then most.
Pros and Cons
Friendly Support
Disappointed customer
Cloudways aren't cheap, but initially seemed worth the for us money. Unfortunately as time went on, they made mistakes that cost us significant amounts. Upon complaint they made excuses, and on cancellation got sarcastic. Very disappointed.

Unwilling to take responsibility for mistakes
Expensive (especially given their level of mistakes and subsequent customer service)
