Cloudways Launches New Cloud Platform for Developers

Cloudways has launched a new hosting platform for developers and designers to use in their web app projects, the company announced Wednesday, along with four new data center locations and new pricing plans. These and other moves, including a new responsive website, are meant to position the company to enable the collaborative and mobile approaches behind web app deployments.

The new Cloudways Cloud Platform includes collaborative “Projects and Team” features built from the ground up with AngularJS and Laravel to suit contemporary web app projects, and allow agencies to develop dedicated deployment areas for clients. The Cloudways DevOps team also revamped the platform’s back-end to provide the flexibility required for rolling out new features and updates rapidly.

Managed cloud servers can now be launched directly from the mobile device of Cloudways Cloud Platform users. Both the platform and the website are based on Google’s Material Design UI guidelines to ensure uniformity and mobile-friendliness, Cloudways said.

“We dub it: ‘Cloudways 2.0.’ It is not enough to offer a Platform which performs well on the back-end and hosts super fast web applications,” Pere Hospital, CTO and co-founder of Cloudways said in a statement. “Any Managed Cloud Hosting Provider must offer a superb 360-degree experience. The spirit of Cloud lies in collaboration. Cloudways 2.0 will make working across teams easier. It will also make project handling easier for independent developers, design teams, and web dev agencies.”

Server locations are now available from the four new data centers in South Korea, Canada, France, and Silicon Valley. Cloudways has also introduced pricing plans for high volume users, ranging from $70 to $230 per month.

The company unveiled a new logo to go with its user experience update and complete its new look.

Cloudways also announced support for Let’s Encrypt in April to help drive adoption of the open-source encryption project.
