Cloudways Coupons & Promo Codes

Cloudways managed cloud hosting: a promo code takes a share off each invoice

Cloudways sells managed cloud hosting, and a Cloudways promo code takes a percentage off each invoice for a fixed number of months set by the promo. The product line is Cloudways Flexible, Cloudways Autonomous and Cloudways Velocity. Flexible is customizable managed hosting for WordPress, Magento, Laravel & PHP apps. The second kind of Cloudways discount is promotional credit, such as a signup bonus or a referral reward.

Cloudways Flexible list prices, from Micro at $14 to Large at $99

Cloudways lists Flexible at $14 USD per month for Micro, $28 for Small, $54 for Medium and $99 for Large, all before any promo-code discount. Micro suits personal websites and simple blogs, and Large is ideal for e-com stores and resource-intensive applications. Flexible is the option with total control, while Autonomous is the hands-free one. The Cloudways discount is applied to the total invoice, not to individual line items: the discounted amount is the invoice total minus the invoice total times the discount percentage.

Taxes stay outside every Cloudways discount and listed price

Cloudways never discounts taxes: unless otherwise stated, its pricing policies are not discounted or enhanced for any Taxes. All listed prices exclude applicable taxes. When Taxes apply, Cloudways invoices them to you as part of the billing process. On the bill, Taxes appear as their own adjustment beside Subtotal, Discounts and Credits.

Cloudways bills post-paid by the hour, so the discount hits the next invoice

Cloudways bills post-paid, so a promo-code discount always lands on the next invoice and never on a past one. Invoices are generated on the 1st of every month, and past or current invoices never receive the discount, so any due invoice is cleared first. Flexible also carries an hourly rate, such as $0.0208 hourly for Micro. The Month-to-Date Summary shows the month's approximate charges after applying discounts, taxes and prepayments. The discount lasts a fixed number of months set by the promo, and each of those invoices loses the same percentage. Then billing reverts to the standard plan rate.

Cloudways promo code at signup vs promotional credits applied automatically

Cloudways discounts come two ways: a promo code typed at signup, or promotional credits that need no code. The promo code offer is valid for new customers, and a Cloudways account holds one active promo code at a time. Credits such as signup bonuses or referral rewards are applied automatically first when an invoice is settled. Where both meet, the discount is applied first and the credit covers what is left. Credits expire 1 year from the date they are issued.

Where the Cloudways promo code goes: at signup, before the first server

The Cloudways promo code goes in at signup; after that, the server is created normally with no extra steps. Cloudways links the offer to signing up with the promo code. Its reduction then reaches the first or next Cloudways invoice on its own. The server creation screen can still show the full price, which is expected, because the discount only shows at invoicing. The Credits & Discounts section of the account lists the start and end months of each discount and its percentage.
