Cloudways Flexible on DigitalOcean
We earn commissions when you shop through the links below. It never changes the order of plans. How this works
Cloudways is a managed application platform that runs on servers from cloud providers; the catalog lists 24 of its DigitalOcean plans, from $11 to $967 a month. They cover the Basic, General Purpose and CPU Optimized server types, each on a Standard tier with SSD storage and a Premium tier with NVMe storage, in the sizes the pricing page shows by default; larger sizes behind its size slider are not recorded. They are kept as an adjacent platform, separate from the VPS comparison.

How these plans differ
The price covers the managed platform layer, not just a server, so it is not a like-for-like VPS price. Cloudways manages its application hosting platform and server stack; you keep site content, users, application configuration and the set-up and testing of backups, and root access is unavailable. It suits running an application without administering the operating system, not projects that need system packages or custom services. Offsite backup storage is priced separately, listed prices exclude taxes, and promotion and renewal terms are unverified.
Capacity figures are provider-published values. CPU allocation and management scope are listed with each plan in the catalog; equal RAM does not imply equal performance.
