Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Cloudways hosting for WordPress, WooCommerce, and Divi 5.

Absolutely. Divi 5's new rendering engine requires more server resources than shared hosting can provide. Cloudways gives you dedicated CPU, RAM, and NVMe storage that Divi 5 needs to run its Visual Builder smoothly. We specifically recommend DigitalOcean Premium droplets for Divi sites — they provide consistent CPU performance without throttling.

For most WordPress and Divi sites in NZ/Australia, we recommend DigitalOcean Premium. It offers the best price-to-performance ratio with NVMe storage and premium CPUs. For enterprise sites needing compliance, consider AWS. For global reach with AI tools, Google Cloud is excellent. Vultr High Frequency is a great alternative to DO Premium at a similar price point.

Yes! Unlike many managed hosts that charge per site, Cloudways lets you host unlimited WordPress applications on a single server. This makes it incredibly cost-effective for agencies and businesses with multiple sites. Just make sure your server has enough resources for all your sites combined.

Cloudways offers free migration handled by their expert team. The process is zero-downtime — they clone your site to Cloudways, you verify everything works, then simply update your DNS. Your old site stays live until the DNS propagates. They also have a WordPress migration plugin for DIY transfers.

Most sites migrating from shared hosting see 2-4x improvement in page load times. Our clients typically go from 3-5 second loads down to under 1 second. The exact improvement depends on your site's complexity, but the combination of NVMe storage, dedicated resources, built-in caching, and Cloudflare CDN makes a dramatic difference.

Cloudways is excellent for WooCommerce. The platform handles dynamic content (cart, checkout, account pages) much better than shared hosting. With Redis object caching, your database queries are faster. The auto-scaling means your store won't crash during sales events. We've seen 58% better WooCommerce performance vs shared hosting in our benchmarks.

Yes! Cloudways makes vertical scaling simple. You can upgrade your server's RAM, CPU, and storage directly from the dashboard. For most providers, the upgrade happens with minimal downtime (usually under 2 minutes). You can also clone your site to a larger server for zero-downtime upgrades.

Cloudways provides automated backups on a schedule you choose (hourly to weekly). Backups are stored off-server for safety. You can restore with one click, and you can also take on-demand backups before making changes. Local backups are free; off-site backups to external storage are available for extra redundancy.
