Yaay :) Once I went Cloudways I never went back, even though I'm a techy guy and a network engineer with years of WordPress under my belt. I'm looking forward to more Cloudways videos.
Thanks Tony, Im really looking at using Cloudways so thanks for this. One thing - many servers that offer Wordpress these days have CPanel, which offers pretty simple install of Wordpress (fill in desired username etc) then one-click
@@viviniateunga9986 with the exact same page layout on each of these page builders, you won't see a difference in performance, especially if you are caching your pages (which I highly recommend you do). Understand that these page builders simply generate html/css/js. Once the pages and assets are generated, the page builders are completely out of the picture i.e. they aren't dynamically assembling your page when a user requests them. If you did end up choosing Cloudways, they have the Breeze plugin with varnish caching (stay tuned for some videos on varnish in the very near future)
You can't imagine how you are helping me and other noobs server users like me! Thank you Tony and i will make sure to use your links whenever i sign up for any of these services. I have a question, Can you please do a tutorial on how to setup email on the server? I mean on cpanel i was just creating email accounts and it automatically generates all the required info like POP3 & Imap configuration but i don't know if i can do the same without the need to cpanel using cloudways platform?
Appreciate the kind words Ahmed :) In general, I don't recommend hosting your own email server. Spam filters nowadays are extremely tough and your emails would most likely not get through. There is many different certs and DNS records that you must get just right in order to have a working email server. In my opinion, not worth the hassle. If you're planning on moving to Cloudways, they have this article which talks about options for emails support.cloudways.com/do-you-provide-servers-for-email-hosting/. The Rackspace email addon seems promising depending on how many email accounts you need. Looks like they have aliases too. If you have many email accounts, you'll probably want to stick with cPanel because of cost. Most of my email accounts are hosted with Namecheap which uses cPanel. I have my actual websites hosted on VPS. With Namecheap's Stellar plan, you'll get unlimited email accounts for $4.88/mo (plus unlimited shared hosting). The only downside to this is that you'll still have to set up and manage the DNS records for your email. This gets slightly complicated when your domain name is from somewhere else. I would like to one day do an email tutorial, but I can't promise anything soon.
@@TonyTeachesTech Thanks for the fast reply i really appreciate that, But what about installing a free VestCP or any other open source control panels in the cloudways server & maintain the server through it and setup email accounts is that possible to do? I just want to stay away from Cpanel because they raised their prices recently to the point it became pricey for me to get an "Admin" licence for $17 per month.
@@TonyTeachesTech I found a tutorial on Medium about installing VestaCP on DO & Vultur, I think same steps applies to Cloudways but i think if you made a video about it that would be very helpful to newbies like me who want to set free from Cpanel & Shared hosting providers greed. medium.com/@chiragartani6/how-to-setup-install-vestacp-for-digital-ocean-vultr-and-any-cloud-hosting-32c03781241b
Awesome video man, quite simple to understand. But is their any option to use some panel, if not C-panel that any other where we can have options like File manager and php?
Cloudways has it's own web-based dashboard where you can configure most standard settings at the server level and at the application (WordPress) level. As for a file manager, you'll need an FTP client like FIlezilla to manage your files.
Hi, thank you for this video...I want to know that can I host 4 ecommerce websites with woocommerce in the same host. If not what plan should I choose please help
Cheaper than Cloudways would be to host with the underlying VPS provider like Linode, DigitalOcean, or Vultr (but this requires a great deal of knowledge to maintain a server yourself).
Hard to say. Depends on how many pages, images, etc each site has. That would be a fun experiment though to see how many instances of a basic WordPress website I can run on a single server... future video?
@@TonyTeachesTech My question is, if I have several websites on a server, is the IP also the same for all of them or are they different for each one? If it is the same IP, how can I make them all be different?
I was building an affiliate website ownbamboo.com with Elementor page builder on just a vultr server and as you know Elementor loads tons and tons of css and javascript. Some pages were taking 8seconds to load. I saw cloudways had a 3day trial so I booted up a server and installed the same website onto cloudways out of curiosity and the site is loading in under a second now according to pingdom! I love cloudways. I still want to build a server stack from scratch like cloudways on my own though, but need to do the research.
My question is, if I have several websites on a server, is the IP also the same for all of them or are they different for each one? If it is the same IP, how can I make them all be different?
it would be great if you have showed us the RAM usage monitor... tried their 10usd/month option with 1 wp woocommerce and it already consumed almost 500 mb of RAM without the other plugins and traffic, so it got me thinking it cannot handle 2 wp woocommerce...
@@TonyTeachesTech is there a workaround to lessen the RAM used to make it handle more woocommerce websites that you can share? this could be a good idea for your next vid :D
@@TonyTeachesTech i see. i was just suggesting though! i mean workaround that could work with woocommerce but not solely for woo, i thought of it bec in the video you tried to install many apps. if those will be real sites with some traffic, those number of apps sharing the 10usd plan wont work so i just thought previously that there might be something you would do to make them work (to lessen the ram usage)... but anyway if there's none then there's none.

Hypothetically, if I hosted 20 WP websites on a single Cloudways server, wouldn't they all be really slow? Do you need to upgrade your plan as you add more WP sites / apps to your server?
Yaay :)

Thanks for sharing and recommending Cloudways. More to come, stay tuned 😀
agreed.. i'd gladly pay more to not have to waste time managing server updates and security
Please tell me :
how many methods (ways ) we can use to host multiple WordPress sites on one server and which one is the best ??
i really like your way of teaching and smile...thanks mate
So nice of you, thanks!
Thanks Tony, Im really looking at using Cloudways so thanks for this. One thing - many servers that offer Wordpress these days have CPanel, which offers pretty simple install of Wordpress (fill in desired username etc) then one-click
Yeah as you can see Cloudways has a very comparable feature of one click installs of WordPress. Would you be hosting multiple websites with Cloudways?
But they have limitation of RAM so we cant install many applications there
How much RAM do you require?
Thanks a lot
Thank you for this video!
You are so welcome!
Tony you save my life thankssssss
So happy to help!

Been with Cloudways for over 3 years now. Love it. Support has been awesome as well when needed.
Great to hear this from someone who's used Cloudways longer than me
James I’m new to blogging how much RAM should I choose? I guess 1 GB would be enough for me?
7 minutes is a fairly long time to provision a vps. Thank you for sharing
Yes I agree
does it allow different domains?...and different root addresses for each domain?
I have this exact same question. Did you manage to figure out of you can?
How shall I install WordPress in a subdirectory of an existing site created by myself and has hosting services out of Wordpress? Do you have any idea?
Can you set your own login for every wordpress website?
Hi Tony, wordops is a great open tool for WordPress and can be used on linode or vultr vps
Cool, thanks
Tanks bro

How to change the server location ??

I missed the part where you have a separate domain name for each application. How did you get a dns entry to point to an application?
Cloudways auto generates a unique URL. You have the option of setting up a DNS A record like you mentioned for each application
@@TonyTeachesTech I have the same question, how do I put the auto-generated URL into the A record, as the record has to be an IP address.
Thanks bro
Sure thing!
Do you have a tutorial on doing the same manually on a VPS?
Yep!

cool video thanks. hey what about adding a dedicated ip to each of those wordpress installs. is that possible in the config you showed?
Since all the sites are on the same server, they are going to be associated with the IP of the server

For sites without much traffic, this will be fine
Can you get SSL for each site

What's the cheapest hosting company for a website with 30,000+ daily visitors? Cloudways?

@@TonyTeachesTech Thanks! I don't have this. Is Digital Ocean OK via Cloudways? Digital Ocean doesn't look good on Trustpilot.
