Description
Cloudways is a managed cloud hosting platform that lets developers, agencies, and businesses deploy applications on leading cloud infrastructure providers — DigitalOcean, AWS, Google Cloud, Vultr, and Linode — without managing servers. It supports WordPress, Magento, Laravel, and PHP apps with features like automated backups, built-in CDN, staging environments, and 24/7 expert support.
Plans start at $14/month (Micro, 1GB RAM) and scale up to $99/month for the Large server (8GB RAM, 160GB NVMe). All plans include unlimited websites, unlimited visits, and the new Lightning Stack for optimized performance.
The affiliate program offers two models: a Slab model paying up to $125 per sale based on monthly referral volume, or a Hybrid model combining a $30 one-time bonus per sale with 7% lifetime recurring commission. A two-tier program allows you to earn 7% on sub-affiliates you recruit. The program runs in-house with a 90-day cookie, no lengthy approval process, and monthly payouts.
