Cloud Ways Micro (Standard), $ 11.00/mo. on Linux Cloud

Micro on Cloudways Flexible is the entry level managed cloud server using 2 GB of RAM, 1 vCPU, around 50000 MB of SSD storage and 2000 GB of transfer bandwidth, which makes it a compact but capable choice for small WordPress sites, personal blogs, simple landing page funnels and development or staging projects that still need a dedicated cloud instance rather than shared hosting. Priced at about 11 USD per month on a pay as you go basis, equivalent to roughly 0.0357 USD per hour, it offers predictable low monthly spend while still permitting unlimited visits and unlimited websites per server as long as the underlying resources are sufficient, so one Micro server can host multiple light projects for freelancers or agencies. The plan inherits the Lightning Stack with an NGINX front end, optimized PHP configuration and built in caching, so pages and admin screens load faster than on generic cloud droplets, and it includes free Lets Encrypt SSL, a hardened firewall and a bundle of AI Copilot credits you can use for guided performance tuning, troubleshooting and routine management tasks inside the Cloudways console. Offsite backup storage is available as an add on at a clearly published per gigabyte rate so you can retain restore points without overpaying, and the control panel exposes vertical scaling, staging and cloning tools, DNS management and MySQL administration so that a Micro server can be cloned or grown into a higher tier without re installing applications, giving small projects an easy on ramp to more capacity as traffic increases.

Cloudways Flexible is the managed cloud hosting option built around full control of server resources and cloud choice. Servers run WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Laravel and custom PHP applications on top providers such as DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS and Google Cloud through an NGINX based Lightning Stack optimized for high performance and low latency. Every Flexible server can host unlimited applications, supports multiple PHP versions, includes free Lets Encrypt SSL certificates and a hardened server level firewall, and offers staging environments, cloning and seamless vertical scaling from the control panel. Automatic and on demand backups are available with one click restores, with offsite backup storage billed per gigabyte so that protection scales with usage. The platform exposes detailed monitoring for more than fifteen metrics, auto healing behavior for many common issues and convenient tools like DNS management and a built in MySQL manager to streamline operations. Cloudways operates pay as you go billing with no long term contracts, offers promotional introductory discounts, and targets a 99.99 percent uptime service level on infrastructure distributed across over fifty global data centers including regions in the US, EU, India, Singapore, Australia and Canada while delivering 24x7 expert support via live chat and ticketing, optional Advanced and Premium support add ons, and free expert migrations for new projects.
