Is Cloudways Enough for Your Business? A Look at Sanver’s AWS Managed Hosting
As businesses grow, their hosting requirements evolve. What works for a small website or early-stage application may not be sufficient when performance, security, scalability, and compliance become critical.
Cloudways has become a popular choice for developers and startups looking for simplified cloud hosting. But an important question remains:
Is Cloudways enough for your business in the long run?
In this blog, we explore where Cloudways fits well—and where Sanver’s AWS Managed Hosting offers a more robust, future-ready alternative.
Understanding Cloudways: A Platform-Based Hosting Approach
Cloudways is a managed cloud hosting platform that sits between users and cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and DigitalOcean. It simplifies server provisioning and basic management, making it attractive for:
- Small websites
- Developers and freelancers
- Early-stage startups
- Projects with limited infrastructure needs
While Cloudways removes some complexity, it also introduces limitations—especially for businesses that require deeper control, security, and customization.
When Cloudways May Start Falling Short
As your business scales, you may encounter challenges such as:
- Limited access to underlying AWS services
- Restricted customization and architecture control
- Platform-level constraints on security and compliance
- Less flexibility in advanced networking, monitoring, and disaster recovery
- Support focused on the platform, not your business use case
At this stage, businesses often look beyond platforms and toward true AWS Managed Services.
