Surely it can’t be right, can it? A 2GB RAM DO’s performance is terrible in this article. And why are there so many errors?

I’m currently hosting a DO server on cloudways, the support seem fair enough, but I’m running a small application no more intensive than wordpress. in fact it’s idle the majority of time. The problem is that it seems to work perfectly fine, but the problem is that they have very frequent slow responsiveness, so slow that it actually causes it fails when other online apps. ie twilio make a get request to the url.
Overall I’m not impressed, cloudways throw loads of bloat on the server, they themselves don’t recommend the 512mb droplet for hosting live sites, overall I’m not impressed
I really have to jump in here. I moved a simple WP site to Cloudways and I’m very unhappy. Site is offline frequently, bad support and I had to move up my plan (paying $30 per month now for a simple site now!). Please guys, just don’t go there.
I know its an old post… but i have to jump in here also. Cloudways has an optimized stack for the masses. If you have an application and want to get that running in an optimal way Cloudways is the wrong provider. We will leave cloudways also with several servers. Also support knows only one answer “Increase your server you need more ram or cpu”. An optimized managed server is cheaper than cloudways and you get a lot more performance…
