CloudWays and DigitalOcean:

Cloudways needed a different cloud provider in order to reach a larger number of SMBs. By partnering with DigitalOcean, they could evolve their product to better serve customers at a lower cost without sacrificing any reliability.

What they found after beginning to work with DigitalOcean was that the partnership included much more than a lower cost point on virtual servers. Not only did they find culture and value alignment, they benefited from DigitalOceans focus on simplicity and community. Cloudways saw an increase in lead generation and free trials from DigitalOceans community engagement and reached a new audience that read the tutorials.

Finally, DigitalOceans focus on developing a simple experience for developers made development even easier for the Cloudways team. And they were able to pass that simplicity on to their own customers.
