In this comparison of Pressable vs Cloudways, we see whether Automattic’s managed WordPress option (Pressable) is a better choice than the premier cloud hosting solution (Cloudways). If you have a WordPress agency or are looking for the best premium WordPress hosting solution, let’s find out which of these hosts is the better fit for you.
Both Pressable and Cloudways offer the premium features you would expect from a managed WordPress host, including Advanced Caching, Premium Security, Automated Data Backups, Website Staging, and CDN.
Cloudways does give the option to select from 5 different cloud providers. However, Pressable includes their WordPress WP Cloud Platform that is excellent. And, although it’s a close call here, based on performance features, Pressable gets the advantage in this category.
In our testing and my personal experience, both Pressable and Cloudways provided excellent website speed and performance. Although Cloudways is known as a great cloud hosting provider, Pressable includes their WP Cloud platform for outstanding performance. Together with their optimized WordPress environment, Pressable actually performed better in our testing.
See below for some of our sample speed test results via GTmetrix.
It’s a very close call in the customer support category. We found the support teams at both Pressable and Cloudways to be very responsive, helpful, and professional. Here, Cloudways gets just a slight edge based on a bit faster connection to live chat support, as with Pressable you first are connected to the automated bot chat.
