Cloudways is a managed cloud hosting platform owned by DigitalOcean. You pick a cloud provider (DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS or Google Cloud) and a server size, and Cloudways runs the server for you: the stack, security patches, backups, staging and 24/7 support, for WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Laravel and other PHP apps. There are no shared-hosting tiers; every plan is a server billed by the hour, and you can host unlimited websites on it.

Guides on Kuponaut
How to use the Cloudways code
- Start the free trial first if you want: Flexible includes a 5-day trial with no credit card on DigitalOcean, Vultr or Linode (not AWS or Google Cloud).
- Pick the server size you actually need; Micro (1 GB) suits one small site, Medium (4 GB) is the plan Cloudways marks as most popular.
- When you add a payment method, enter BFCM802 in the promo code field; it is not applied automatically and is for new customers only.
- Check that the plan price shows 80% off for the first 2 months before you launch more servers.
- Put the end of month two in your calendar: after that the normal hourly price applies, for example $54 a month for Medium Premium.

Cloudways discounts: what the official pages say
| Free plan | No free plan (pricing page read 5 Nov 2026). |
|---|---|
| Free trial | Flexible includes a 5-day free trial, no credit card required, on DigitalOcean, Vultr or Linode (not AWS or Google Cloud). When the trial ends the server is deleted; adding a payment method restores it (pricing FAQ, read 5 Nov 2026). |
| Student, education and other official discounts | Not stated on the pricing page (read 5 Nov 2026). |
| Official promotions right now | On 5 Nov 2026 the pricing page carried a 'Biggest-Ever Black Friday Offer' banner and every plan showed 'Get 80% OFF for 2 Months'. Cloudways' promo-code page says the offer is for new customers who sign up during the Black Friday Cyber Monday campaign, covers hosting plans, AI Agents, the AI Website Builder and add-ons, and links to separate terms. |
| What the official pages say about promo codes | BFCM802 is entered at checkout; Cloudways says it does not apply automatically and usually cannot be combined with other discount codes (promo-code page FAQ, read 5 Nov 2026). Kuponaut tested it at checkout on 5 Nov 2026 and it was accepted. |
| Refunds and cancellation | Billing is usage-based: usage is tracked hourly and invoiced on the 1st for the previous month. To stop billing you delete your servers and deactivate paid add-ons; a final invoice covers usage up to that date (pricing FAQ, read 5 Nov 2026). A separate refund policy was not part of the pages we read. |
The real situation
Cloudways' 80% Black Friday price is real but short: it covers the first 2 months, and then the normal hourly price applies. On Medium Premium that is $10.80 a month for two months and $54 a month after (our reading of the pricing page, 5 Nov 2026).
Because billing is hourly and there is no annual contract, the risk of trying it is low: use the 5-day free trial to migrate a site, then add a payment method with BFCM802 if you keep it.
For a single small blog, shared hosting is cheaper over a year even after the discount. Cloudways makes sense when you need a whole server, several sites, or a WooCommerce store that has outgrown shared hosting.
Legit ways to pay less for Cloudways
- Enter BFCM802 when you add a payment method as a new customer; Cloudways says it is not applied automatically (read 5 Nov 2026).
- Start with the 5-day free trial (no card) on DigitalOcean, Vultr or Linode and migrate before the paid months begin.
- Choose a Standard (SSD) server if NVMe speed is not critical: Micro is $11 instead of $14 a month.
- Size down: Cloudways bills hourly, so you can start on a smaller server and scale up only when traffic needs it.
- Note the date your 2 discounted months end so the full price does not surprise you.

At a glance
Our take on Cloudways
Cloudways is not the cheapest host, and it does not pretend to be: Micro Premium is $14 a month for a 1 GB server, several times a shared-hosting price. What you pay for is a real cloud server that someone else manages, hourly billing with no annual lock-in, and the choice of five cloud providers.
The Black Friday code changes the maths for the first two months only (Medium Premium $10.80 instead of $54 a month, our reading of the pricing page). Treat it as a cheap way to migrate and test, not as the long-term price.
Pros & cons
- Hourly billing, no annual contract
- 5-day free trial without a credit card

- BFCM802 is for new customers only and lasts 2 months
- AWS and Google Cloud are excluded from the free trial and priced by region

Who Cloudways is for
