Agencies have become a common fixture of the web
development scenario. These agencies take on
projects of all descriptions and even take on
product/platform development projects. Since
Drupal agencies already face several challenges
in the broader web development industry because
of the larger market share of WordPress and the
rise of minor CMS. However, an important
challenge that even many Drupal agencies overlook
is the hosting of the test and final
projects. Server management is an essential yet
tedious task that agencies have to deal with in
every project. This is an additional set of tasks
that few developers like to do at the end of the
project. A very good solution to this tedious
task is managed Drupal hosting solutions.

Reliable Performance Performance is undoubtedly
the first (and often the last) factor that
decides the deal. We realize this, and this is
why our stack is built around this idea. Named
ThunderStack, it combines Nginx with Apache for
maximum benefit. Backing this combo up are the
most popular caching technologies including
Redis, Varnish, Memcached, and PHP-FPM, all of
which could be enabled or disabled through simple
UI toggles. Rounding it all is the native
availability of PHP 7. All of this ensures that
the servers hosted on Cloudways are super-fast
and super-reliable. One-Click Setups Who says
good things are hard to come by? One-click setups
of server and applications on our platform ensure
that customers could maintain focus on their
business rather than worrying about server
management tasks. Agencies can particularly take
advantage of one-click setup features because the
entire process is easy and saves time.

24/7 Expert Support Web hosting and application
management are complex matters, and as such,
problems and issues are an undeniable aspect of
the game. In this context, customer support and
the people who deliver this support are crucial
to the process. Cloudways customer support teams
are peopled by experts with background and
experience in cloud hosting management. In
addition, Cloudways support is available
24/7/365. So if you are stuck anywhere, just come
to the Live Chat or open a support
ticket. Security Its a harsh world out there
and hacks and attacks happen every day. Thus
security is absolutely vital for the continuation
of the business. Cloudways ensures security on
several levels. HTTP/2 is available across the
platform, as are FREE SSL certificates. On the
platform level, Cloudways experts promptly apply
patches to fix security loopholes.

Dev Tools Cloudways is a developer-first
platform that streamlines dev related processes.
We make sure that Drupal developers who use our
platform only focus on the essentials of the
process. This is why many of the essential
development tools catering particularly to Drupal
development such as Drush and Composer are
provided by default. Not only this, but you can
also use your preferred version control system
through built-in Git Integration. In addition,
you also do not have to worry about your test
environment as our built-in staging environment
hosts all of the test sites on pre-configured
subdomains. Team Collaboration Tool Teamwork is
an essential requirement for running an agency.
We realize this and have made collaboration
between team members very easy through our Team
Controls in the Cloudways Platforms console.
These controls enable you to easily assign roles
to various members of your team for ultimate
granular control.

Seamless Scalability As your agency grows, so
does your needs for hosting solution. Cloudways
offers seamless vertical scalability to cater to
any situation that is as simple as dragging a
slider! Practically Unlimited Site
Installations Theres no limit on the number of
sites you can install on your Cloudways servers.
We do not charge anything on the number of sites.
In fact, this number is only limited by the size
of your server only.

Lower Costs Now comes the icing on the cake! It
is no secret that DevOps engineers are an
expensive resource. Hiring a team of DevOps
engineers can cost an agency owner a huge amount
of money. By using Cloudways, the agency doesnt
need to spend this budget because  Cloudways
takes care of all server related issues.
Cloudways further reduces agencys operational
costs by removing the costs of setting up Drupal
hosting solutions. Conclusion As you could see
Cloudways is an ideal fit for the Drupal
development agencies. The managed cloud hosting
solution provider not only facilitates the
various processes of the agencies but also
reduces the costs of these agents. In short,
Cloudways saves time and money for the agencies.
