    Because if I rent my servers directly from DigitalOcean instead of letting CloudWays rent them for me, I save about 50% and get the same amount of support even tho DigitalOcean sells unmanaged servers.

    Literally the product Cloudways sells. You'll get a lower price and the ability to login as 'root'. Skip the middlemen and buy directly from Vultr if you like Vultr's servers.

    Very convinient tool for web studio. Many our clients are happy with Vepp because it's easy to use and realy friendly for people how don't want to go deep in hosting. The only problem here is:

    • Not enough functionality for specialists (now at least);
    • ispmanager is Paid and ProprietaryCloudways is also Paid and Proprietary

    I prefer to rent my server directly from Amazon than letting Cloudways rent it for me for an additional fee then deny me 'root' access to my own VPS.
