How managed web hosts are evolving for a cloud-first world

The web hosting industry has grown rapidly due to the ease of building refined, modern web presences using platforms like Wordpress, Shopify, and Magento. Managed cloud hosts provide a service by abstracting the many options provided by public cloud platforms, allowing developers to focus on their core competencies. Cloud-first managed hosting providers leverage public clouds for scalability, support, security, and cost benefits, which they can pass along to end customers. When building a managed hosting business, key factors to consider include ensuring clients' needs are met, building on a platform that works, budgeting, and providing timely support. DigitalOcean is a cloud provider that balances the flexibility and scale of high-performance cloud platforms with the cost and support needs of growing small businesses.
