CubitRace vs. Cloudways
Cloudways pioneered "managed cloud" hosting but the platform now feels like three companies bolted together since the DigitalOcean acquisition. Here is what changes when you switch.
Three things that change when you move from Cloudways.
Real edge TLS, not a "free SSL" toggle
Caddy + on-demand TLS issues a real Let's Encrypt cert in seconds for any custom domain. No rate-limit drama, no manual reissue.
Migration is included on every plan
Cloudways adds-on migrations beyond the first one. We do unlimited migrations on Agency and Scale, and we run a diff report before cutover.
No surprise add-ons
CDN, backups, malware protection — all included. No SafeUpdates upsell. No Cloudflare CDN add-on.
