Cloudways

Cloudways, owned by DigitalOcean since 2022, provides a managed hosting layer on top of underlying clouds including DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, AWS and Google Cloud. You choose the underlying provider and region, so the sovereignty characteristics depend on that choice rather than on Cloudways itself.
