Woblogger

Neil Patel, Harsh Agarwal, Robert Scoble, Guy Kawasaki. Yes, you got it right, all four are immensely successful bloggers.

Blogging is one of the most popular ways of expressing your thoughts, and the sweet part is you can earn thousand of dollars by writing your heart out. A successful blog has three elements: great content, seamless web experience, and a user-friendly interface.

Now let me break down all three of these factors. Great content comes from reading and research, seamless web experience depends upon the hosting provider of your blog and user-friendly interface means none other than a WordPress blog.

WordPress is famous for its incredibly easy interface, and this may be the reason why the CMS powers up 27% of the total web space. WordPress lives up to the majority of blogger’s expectations, and if hosted on a good hosting provider, it can be a million dollar match for your blog.

What if I tell you I am introducing a cloud hosting platform today that is tailor-made for bloggers and agencies. Cloudways is a managed cloud hosting platform that lived up to my expectations as a blogger (AND my expectations are always a bit high).

The Blogger Hosting Friendly Platform

Bloggers are good writers but not really proficient in technical matters. Bloggers often find it difficult to manage their hosting servers.

Cloudways provides an extremely user-friendly platform where bloggers can easily explore all the features without feeling lost.

The platform is based on the idea of 1-click, with the majority of actions being just a click away. To top things off, the platform is fast and easily configurable. Server and application management tabs are separately tweakable so that one may not get confused in configuring both the sides.

Whether it’s launching a server for your blog or choosing your WordPress version, at Cloudways, all that it takes is a click and few of your minutes.

Scalability at its Prime

One viral blog post and your blog will have a significant spike in traffic. This surely is a dream of every blogger but what if your blog crashes due to the increase in the traffic. It’s an absolute nightmare for every blogger.

Non-scalable servers are the primary reason behind crashed blogs, but with Cloudways, you won’t have to face this horrible situation. Cloudways provides you scalable cloud servers, and you can scale up your server resources whenever and wherever.

The platform offers market-leading cloud servers such as AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, and Vultr. To add more value, Cloudways provides you Kyup, a container based auto-scalable cloud server that automatically scales up your server resources in case of a spike in traffic.
