5+ Managed Cloud Hosting Tools
Managed cloud hosting tools help you deploy, run, and scale web applications without managing physical servers yourself. They split into two broad types: platforms that take over the infrastructure entirely, and tools that give you more control over how resources are set up. The main question for web application deployment is how much of the setup you want to handle and how much you want the tool to handle for you.

Frequently asked questions
Which managed cloud hosting tools are built for deploying web apps?
Heroku and Cloudways are the two tools here built for web application deployment. Heroku supports multiple programming languages and handles all infrastructure so you focus on code. Its plans run from $5 a month for a basic instance to $250 a month for a performance tier. Cloudways starts at $11 a month, lets you pick from several underlying cloud providers, and adds hourly charges for bandwidth and autoscaling on top of the base price.
Heroku
CloudwaysIs there a free managed cloud hosting tool?
OpenStack is the only tool here with a free plan. It is open source software you download and run yourself to manage compute, storage, and networking. The catch is that setting it up takes significant technical skill. If you need commercial support, that requires a sales call with no published price. The other five tools here are paid only, with no free tier.
OpenStackWhich tool here is suited to WordPress hosting?
Cloudways is the only tool here listed for WordPress hosting. It includes a performance-tuned server stack, built-in caching, firewall, and automatic security patches. Plans start at $11 a month, though costs rise with bandwidth and autoscaling use. No other tool among these is listed for WordPress.
WordPressWhich tool suits teams deploying apps who also need strict data protection?
Atlantic.Net is built around meeting strict data protection rules. It holds certifications for healthcare data handling, payment card security, and audited security controls, and offers dedicated hosting with managed security services. On-demand dedicated hosts start at $598 a month, the highest published starting price here. Teams in healthcare or finance who need compliant infrastructure will find more here than on Heroku or Cloudways, which focus on ease of deployment rather than regulated data requirements.
Does dnsimple handle cloud hosting?
No. dnsimple manages DNS records, domain registration, and SSL certificates. It is not a hosting platform and does not deploy or run applications. Its Solo plan charges $0.50 per hosted zone per month, and its Teams plan is $29 a month. If you need hosting alongside DNS management, you would pair dnsimple with a separate tool such as Heroku or Cloudways.
dnsimpleWhich tools here do not publish their pricing?
Clever Cloud publishes no price at all and requires a sales contact for any quote. OpenStack is free to download, but commercial support also requires a sales call with no published cost. Atlantic.Net lists dedicated host rates starting at $598 a month but does not publish prices for its managed services. Heroku, Cloudways, and dnsimple are the three tools here with at least some prices you can read before making contact.
