Got to say I use Vultr for over 1 year and I've got absolutely no problem with them. The server never dropped, not even once in one year.
It's way expensive if you want cPanel as you have to pay 30 bucks per month additionally but their interface is extremely user friendly, you have daily backups, notifications when something happens with your server etc.

Just make sure your hosting has the zip/unzip option available. If not, you will spend HOURS migrating websites through FTP. It happened to me way too many times.
I say all this because BlueHost can't handle archives. Their tool was bugged for way too long.

Yea add-on cpanel is too expensive for me. But we can access to file manager or SQL from Vultr backend easily ??

Cloudways is a managed service provider of VPS hosting. It allows you to use a virtual private server (VPS) like Digital Ocean, Vultr, Linode, etc. These are unmanaged VPS so you're on your own, you handle and manage everything including setup, updates, security, etc. Must have Linux systems admin skills. You'll be logging in via SSH terminal and enter some commands.
With Cloudways you don't need those skills because it gives you a panel to work on and just click some buttons. But you get the same benefits of a VPS. It's more expensive than bare unmanaged VPS because of the added fee of the platform.
I'm currently paying $40 a month on Cloudways when it could be $20 on Digital Ocean. But I don't have the time to learn Linux.
Bluehost is shared hosting which is below a VPS, and usually slower because hosts will put hundreds of websites on the same server.

Not all are willing to do this if you have to move 2-3 each weak. It depends on what you do.
I'm just giving tips based on my experience

Yea you got the point. But cloud ways adding double the cost, so I still considering since the cost is high. I'm using somebody hosting in BHW which is ONLY 80USD for 3 years
But server down 12 hours. I cannot afford it. so now I want to change.maomaochia

Sorry, typo, it should have been vestaCP
Yes. I actually prefer it
There's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get going it's piece of cake

Cloudways is worth the additional cost in my opinion. VPS is so much better and so much faster than shared hosting. The server also doesn't go down because you have your own allocation of memory and space. Unlike shared host where you "share" those resources with 100s other websites.Yea you got the point. But cloud ways adding double the cost, so I still considering since the cost is high. I'm using somebody hosting in BHW which is ONLY 80USD for 3 years
If only I know Linux stuff then I would have bought straight from Digital Ocean, but I don't have time to learn. So I use Cloudways.

Cool! Will look at it. Most important is that it can do what cpanel does.
