Cloudways DigitalOcean vs Vultr

[squirrel]

Hi peeps! I am looking to move a website that is struggling on a shared hosting account. The website doesn't receive too much traffic, but is a large directory / database of listings. The majority of the traffic is based in SA.

I am currently looking at Cloudways DigitalOcean and Vultr packages. Which one would you recommend? Is there a better alternative?

>The majority of the traffic is based in SA.

Why would you move it outside of SA then?

This is true. Can you recommend a solution based in SA?

Does the provider not offer VPS packages?

AWS is available in Cape Town, and their EC2 instances are quite affordable and very performant.

If you scroll down, you'll see cpanel listed under the add-ons

*edit*

I assume you're looking to run cpanel? Alternatively, you can deploy a VM and just configure your own web stack (LAMP, etc)
