How to redeem the Cloudways promo code
Cloudways bills in arrears rather than upfront, so the order you do these in changes what the code is worth.
1. Start the free trial first
Flexible gives you 5 days with no credit card. Build the server you actually want and confirm the stack works before any money is involved.
2. Add a payment method before the trial ends
The server is deleted when an untrialled account lapses. Adding a card restores the server and its data, so do this while the trial is still running rather than afterwards.
3. Apply the code in billing, not at launch
The discount attaches to your invoice. Open the billing section of your Cloudways account and enter the code there before the first invoice is generated.
4. Launch early in the month
Usage is metered hourly and invoiced on the 1st for the month before. Starting mid-month means your first discounted invoice covers a part month, so you get less out of the two-month window.
Every legitimate way to save on Cloudways
The code is the biggest lever during the campaign. These four work the rest of the year.
80% off for two months (promo code)
The largest discount Cloudways runs. Reveal the code at the top of this page, apply it in billing on a new account, and it comes off your next two invoices up to $400.
Start on Cloudways5-day free trial, no card
Flexible gives you five days without a payment method, Autonomous and Velocity give three. Enough to migrate a real site and load test it before you commit to a plan size.
Start on CloudwaysFree migrations
WordPress and WooCommerce migrations are free, always. Other PHP application migrations are free when requested before 31 December 2026. Moving a site is usually the biggest one-off cost of switching host, and here it is zero.
Right-size instead of over-provisioning
Usage is metered hourly and invoiced monthly in arrears, so scaling a server down takes effect almost immediately rather than at a renewal date. Launch small, watch real traffic, scale when it hurts.
Raw DigitalOcean if you don't need managed
DigitalOcean owns Cloudways and runs much of the infrastructure underneath it. If you are comfortable managing your own stack, the same hardware costs less as plain Droplets, and new accounts get $200 in credit.

Cloudways Promo Code FAQ
Common questions about the Cloudways promo code and discount code, what they cover, and how to redeem them.
Cloudways runs a public Black Friday and Cyber Monday code that takes 80% off your invoice for the first two months, capped at $200 off per month and $400 in total. It covers Flexible, Autonomous, Velocity, the AI Website Builder, AI Agents, Copilot and all add-ons. Reveal it at the top of this page and enter it in your Cloudways account. The campaign runs to 4 December 2026 and is for new customers only.
Savings depend on your server size, because the discount is a percentage of your invoice rather than a flat amount. A small Flexible server saves a few tens of dollars across the two months. A larger multi-application server hits the $200 monthly cap and saves the full $400. Subscribing to an add-on during the campaign also takes 20% off that add-on for the remaining ten months, which outlasts the code itself.
A Cloudways coupon code and a discount code go in the same field, so there is only one place to look. Create your account first, then open the billing section and apply the code there before your first invoice is generated. Cloudways meters usage hourly and bills on the 1st for the previous month, so the discount lands on the two invoices that follow redemption rather than as an upfront credit. Apply it in the same month you launch your server so you do not lose one of the two discounted months.
There is no free credit on Cloudways and no permanently free VPS tier, so the trial is the free route. Cloudways Flexible comes with a 5-day free trial and does not ask for a credit card. Autonomous and the Velocity Starter and Professional plans give you 3 days. The trial covers DigitalOcean, Vultr and Linode servers but not AWS or Google Cloud. One thing to watch: if you do not add a payment method before the trial ends, the server is deleted. Adding one restores the server and its data.
The usual causes are an existing account, since the campaign is for new customers only, or a date outside the 5 November to 4 December 2026 window. It also helps to check you applied the code in the billing section rather than at server launch, because the discount attaches to the invoice and not to the server itself. If it still will not apply on a new account inside the window, Cloudways support can apply it manually.
