Autonomous offers peace of mind to businesses
growing on WordPress with dynamically managed cloud hosting that
automatically scales to meet demand
DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOCN), the developer cloud
optimized for startups and growing digital businesses, today
announced the availability of Autonomous, Cloudways’ new managed
WordPress hosting offering. Autonomous is designed to simplify and
streamline the user experience and help businesses grappling with
fluctuating website traffic save valuable time and resources.
Autonomous addresses a common challenge faced by many growing
businesses — balancing website availability during traffic surges
without overestimating hosting needs and expenses. Traditionally,
companies forecast how much traffic they anticipate and purchase
hosting resources based on guesswork. However, this approach poses
a dual risk: either falling short during traffic surges, leading to
outages, or over-purchasing cloud resources, adversely impacting
profitability. Businesses must ensure their websites can handle
surges in website traffic, as these surges, often linked to
evolving customer priorities, directly impact customer loyalty and
trust. Any website crash during peak periods contributes to
increased customer stress, reduces consumer trust, and damages the
brand.
With Autonomous, resources are managed by Cloudways and
automatically scale up as the traffic increases and then scale down
once the traffic spike is over. As a result, customers benefit from
a website that is operational during high traffic and also has a
very predictable pricing model. The hands-off high availability and
enterprise-level performance of Autonomous means that
organizations’ websites can scale in line with the ongoing demand.
This actively avoids having to force the business to migrate to a
custom dedicated website solution, by removing the need to manage
servers, possess IT skills, or risk spending thousands of
dollars.
"We are incredibly excited to unveil Cloudways Autonomous, a
revolutionary new platform designed to deliver unprecedented
performance and availability for your WordPress websites,” said
Suhaib Zaheer, SVP of Managed Hosting at DigitalOcean. “Cloudways
Autonomous is engineered to effortlessly handle traffic spikes,
guaranteeing that your website remains fast, reliable and
responsive, no matter the demand. It is more than a service; it is
peace of mind for businesses that rely on their online presence. We
are proud to deliver the capability that our extensive customer
base has asked us for, evidence that we listen to them, helping us
set a new standard in web hosting performance and reliability."
“Autonomous has been a game-changer for our web development
agency. It's not just a hosting solution; it's a strategic
advantage,” said Weston Crewe, Founder of Local & Co and
current user of Autonomous. “With Autonomous, we've confidently
