Cloudways, part of DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOCN), the developer cloud optimized for startups and growing businesses, today announces two new DigitalOcean server options designed to enhance website performance for sites with mid- to high volumes of web traffic: General Purpose and CPU Optimized.
The new server types offer Cloudways customers a broader choice of options, providing enhanced processing power for greater performance and reliability. Cloudways’ new server types deliver performance enhancements tailored specifically for digital businesses like eCommerce sites that often need to scale server capacity for increased demand, or eLearning platforms that typically introduce uncached content for subscribers on a regular basis.
General Purpose Servers
General Purpose Servers are ideal for delivering a consistent performance for medium to high-growth traffic websites. These servers come with dedicated resources and balanced allocation of CPU and memory, designed to provide more reliable and consistent performance. This server type is ideal for a range of growing digital businesses.
CPU Optimized Servers
CPU Optimized Servers deliver a smoother user experience by providing the extra processing power required by high-volume traffic websites with lots of uncached content. Designed for dynamic websites that require higher computational resources to process content, these servers are designed to remain fast and responsive, even under heavy loads. This server type is ideal for businesses with frequent transactional activity such as busy eCommerce stores, learning management platforms with high user traffic, and other digital businesses that rely on blazing-fast speeds to deliver a seamless web user experience.
“At Cloudways, performance comes first,” says Suhaib Zaheer, SVP and GM, Managed Hosting at DigitalOcean. “We know how important delivering a seamless website experience is to our customers, so we’re always looking for ways to evolve our offerings to enhance performance. The introduction of the two new DigitalOcean server types is another example of our commitment to giving digital businesses the ability to choose solutions that best align to the needs of their business.”
The introduction of the servers follows the implementation of 58 GB Vultr HF on the Cloudways platform on 6 February 2025. Cloudways continues to invest in server performance, and is committed to empowering customers with best-in-class technology.
Starting today, Cloudways customers can add General Purpose and CPU Optimized servers to their sites via the Cloudways Panel. For more information, visit www.cloudways.com.
