With Cloudways Flexible, you can start a 3-day free trial, no credit card required, to explore the full capabilities of our managed cloud hosting platform.
During the trial, you can launch a server, deploy applications, and even migrate your website to see how everything works in real time.
Once you're ready, you can easily upgrade to Full Access to unlock all features of the Cloudways Platform and continue scaling your projects without interruption.
To upgrade, you'll need to provide a valid credit card for verification and future billing. A temporary $1 authorization charge may appear but is automatically reversed once the verification is successful.

Important:
Cloudways Flexible follows a Pay-as-You-Go billing model, meaning you only pay for the resources you actually use.
You’ll be invoiced at the start of each month for the previous month’s usage—so even if you upgrade today, there’s no immediate charge.
