I'm very excited to announce Cloudways as an official Brizy hosting partner. We've been working with them in the past few months to bring you an easy and fast 1-click Brizy WordPress install on Cloudways.
We are constantly asked by our customers what hosting works best with Brizy, and Cloudways will be one of our top answers going forward. Not only because they offer speed, performance, and 24/7 support, but mostly because we've thoroughly tested Brizy on their set up and we can vouch for all their claims.
Together with Cloudways, we've spent the last months ensuring you'll have an easy, fast, and seamless experience when setting up your Brizy WordPress website.
Managed Cloud Hosting for WordPress
Three things I love about Cloudways:
Cloudways Overview
Cloudways is one of the top cloud-based web hosting providers that emphasizes performance and simplicity. From the simple server and application launch to the ongoing server maintenance, Cloudways takes away all the hassles of server management so that you can continue to focus on growing your business while they handle your hosting headaches.

Three things I love about Cloudways
1. Clean UI and great usability
I am a sucker for a clean and easy-to-use UI that has a smooth learning curve and I'm glad to let you know that Cloudways offers exactly that. Everything is separated very clearly between 2 main items: Servers & Applications.
You can have multiple Apps on the same Server of course and those can be WordPress (with Brizy), Default WordPress, Magento, Laravel, or any custom PHP app.
If you click an App, you'll go to the App Details page where you can find all the info, options, and features you might need for that App: from WP Admin login credentials and domain management to backups and bot protection tools.
2. Start small, pay as you go
If you are a designer, freelancer, web agency, or doing any custom client work, you'll appreciate this as much as I do. I was very impressed with the cloud server selection and scalability Cloudways offers.
You can choose the cloud service provider you want your server on Digital Ocean, Linode, Vultr, AWS, and Google Cloud. Also, there is further granular control that lets you select Bandwidth, Storage Size, and even Datacenter location. Very cool.
I also like the pay-as-you-go way of doing things Cloudways employs because you can start small and the platform lets you grow organically by adding more resources based on needs.
3. Brizy performance benchmarks on Cloudways
I always recommend products and services I use and believe in, and in the last months, I've tested Brizy on Cloudways inside out. As you can imagine we own a lot of hosting accounts with many hosting companies out there, it's part of the job.
But I found myself going back to Cloudways every time I need to do something related to Brizy. I can count on their constant performance, speed, and I'm happy to report that they always deliver.
No wonder Brizy is the 1st on the list on Cloudways' page builder performance tests.

How to 1-click install Brizy on Cloudways
1. If you are New to Cloudways
Create a free account (3 days free trial). Once in the account Add a new server & Application. From the Application, dropdown choose WordPress (with Brizy Plugin), set up your cloud server, and press the Launch Now button at the bottom.
If you don't know what cloud service to choose, I'd go with Digital Ocean with the standard server size and scale from there. If you need any help, use the chat in your account and the Cloudways support team will help you navigate the setup.
You are done. It takes up to 5-7 min for your server to be set up. Once that is done you'll access your high-speed WordPress admin from your Apps.
2. If you are a Cloudways customer
Login into your Cloudways account, go to Applications, and click the Add Application button.
Select the server you want your Brizy WordPress website to be installed on.
Select the App you want to install. Choose WordPress (with Brizy Plugin) from the dropdown.
It takes around 2 min for the app to be installed.
Once done, you'll find your new app in the application list.
Access all the details of an App by clicking on it.
