Cloudways for WordPress: Where It Fits
Cloudways offers two distinct WordPress paths: Flexible for managed cloud infrastructure with provider choice, and Autonomous for a more hands-off autoscaling model.
Why WordPress is a core Cloudways use case
Cloudways provides WordPress-focused tooling around deployment, caching, staging, backups and migration. The managed layer is most valuable when your site has outgrown basic hosting or you manage multiple installations.
Flexible for WordPress
Flexible is useful when you want to choose cloud infrastructure and capacity while keeping common server-management tasks inside a managed platform.
Autonomous for WordPress
Autonomous is positioned for dynamic high-traffic WordPress, eCommerce and LMS workloads that benefit from autoscaling and high availability.
Migration considerations
Cloudways currently documents both a WordPress Migrator plugin and expert-managed migration options. Always take your own backup and plan DNS cutover carefully before moving a production site.
