Cloudways bets on AI to cut website downtime from hours to minutes

Cloudways, part of DigitalOcean, has launched Copilot, an AI-driven hosting tool aimed at preventing and fixing website issues before they escalate. Unlike AI assistants focused on building sites, Copilot targets post-launch problems like DDoS attacks, slow queries, and disk space errors—often resolving them in minutes. Early users report major time savings, signaling a shift in managed hosting from reactive support to proactive, automated intervention.
