The support is excellent, knowledgeable and instantaneous. Easy to use with an awesome interface, the functionality is fantastic.

In the beginning, I found the pay-as-you-go system a bit confusing. You're also limited to the cloud providers they have on the platform.

It's a nice pricing model as it doesn't oblige the customer to any long-term commitment. Cloudways is super fast too and outperforms in terms of security and resources.

The other annoying thing is the way they handle additional MySQL databases for a site (e.g. if you have multiple apps installed that require a MySQL database).

The best host server providing i use since last few years. It it very helpful up-front server setup, integrated robust security and caching tools which make it very user friendly application.

Not being able to talk with a live person regarding questions, problems, etc.

The support team is just great! they're proactive, hands-on, solving almost everything in both application&server level. Server&Application management is super easy, tons of documentation.

I always avoided getting a VPS because I didn't want to deal with the trouble of managing it.

The thing I like is that many indie developers write useful modules for Terraform which really helps in automating important tasks. The sky is the limit in automation when you are using Terraform.

It does not have a rollback feature & if something fails all the changes before that failed change would still be applied. Some conditional logics are unnecessarily cumbersome.

Learning HCL and transforming to Infrastructure-As-Code is is a paradigm shift and not an easy one but a very interesting one which will help us become more agile and deliver faster and more reliable.

Having to manage this is annoying and can be a huge pain.

Terraform is great at building and managing lots of different tech setups with a lot of helpful add-ons and ability to repeat tasks easily.

It seems that there are still some provider options missing so some thing need to be done manually.

Terraform is amazing because it removes some of the complexity of AWS.

User and Access management is a miss. We had to use workspace, and shell scripts to check the correct access of different resources.
