Looking for a Cloudways alternative?

If you love picking your own cloud but want flat, predictable pricing and a free white-glove migration, Webfloater is the leaner option. Same managed cloud model — DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, and more — at one honest price, with a 61-app open-source marketplace built in.

★★★★★ Free migration · Pay only when you deploy · Cancel anytime

Cloudways is a solid managed host, and its pick-your-cloud model is exactly the approach we believe in too — you choose the cloud, they handle the servers. Here's where Webfloater is different: flat, transparent pricing you can watch update in a live calculator before you commit, a bigger open-source app marketplace, and free migration so switching costs you nothing.

An honest switch

What stays the same, what gets better

Moving from Cloudways doesn't mean relearning how you host. The parts you like stay; the parts that frustrate you improve.

What stays the same

The model you already chose Cloudways for carries straight over to Webfloater:

  • The pick-your-cloud freedom — you choose the provider
  • Fully managed servers — no ops, no terminal required
  • Free migration onto the platform
  • 24/7 human support
  • The clouds you already trust — DigitalOcean, Vultr, and more

What gets better

Three things change for the better the day you move:

  • Pricing you can predict — flat, and visible live in a calculator before you commit
  • A far bigger open-source app marketplace — 61 one-click apps, not just WordPress
  • A switch that costs you nothing — free migration, usually within a day

If you're happy on Cloudways, that's fine — but if flat pricing and a one-click app library matter to you, the move is free and takes about a day.

Why switchers move

Why teams pick Webfloater

The four reasons people give us most often when they make the move.

Flat pricing

One honest price per server — Launch $24, Grow $39, Scale $79, Power $149, or build your own. No surprises at the end of the month.

61 one-click apps

Not just WordPress — n8n, Ghost, Supabase, Nextcloud, databases, and dozens more open-source apps, each fully managed in one click.

Free migration

We do the work and verify everything before switching DNS — zero downtime, usually finished within 24 hours.

Any of 5 clouds

DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, Amazon Lightsail, or Akamai — the same flat price and the same managed experience on each.

Keep the cloud you trust

Pick the same provider you run on Cloudways today — the managed experience and the flat price are identical on each.

We'll move your Cloudways sites for free.

Usually within 24 hours, zero downtime — we verify everything before switching DNS.

Cloudways pricing varies by server size; a comparable managed 4 GB plan elsewhere is often $50+/mo industry-wide, versus Webfloater's flat $39 Grow plan. Cloudways details are qualitative because its published pricing changes over time.
