not sure, how important is this announcement is..I never heard about cloudways before reading this article...anyway, another small step to moon:) it is some major respectable provider in their field?

The more adoption the better

Bitcoin needs some large corporate brands to integrate bitcoin to the payment system for bitcoin to really become known in the public eye and for it to be accepted because bitcoin does have a negative look to it, but let's hope in the next few years it will be more incorporated.

is always good to see that more and more companys are adopting the BTC, even if i never hear about it, the good thing about it is that those news are always good for us, the more news like, the more ppl that will start to know about bout BTC.

so in the end even if this company is nto so important, is always a very good news :)

another day that i fell happy because of things like that.

these kinds of news are always nice and shows that people are accepting bitcoin and there are real places that you can spend your bitcoin and not just stash them away.
but they are always small time and have no important effect on the market whatsoever.

I totally agree and the more companies that incorporate it let's the average person see that bitcoin logo in the payment options and might make them question what that actually is and create another bitcoin user.

well i don't know anything about it either but what is good about the announcement is that more and more people are willing to accept bitcoin and it is really a good sign

Next stop is CloudFlare!

There were rumours but they didn't accepted yet :/ http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2d4tke/cloudflare_will_accept_bitcoin_later_this_year/

CloudFare is the only service of this kind that I know. They definitely have the monopoly now. Every other website that I stumble upon has that "connecting through CloudFare" thing. Its literally everywhere. I never heard of Cloudways.

It only makes sense for a cloud type business to not lag behind and start taking more payment options, esp when bitcoin is such an efficient one. Not even to mention the similar tech backgrounds between the company and this payment tech.

First time i heard about cloudways i would give it a try, well more acceptance is better then just waiting for bigger companies to accept bitcoin has we know we ratter support good small companies to take bitcoin for their services then the big corp giants in the industry.

will be checking out the service now and see hows the bitcoin experience with cloudways.

It is not so important announcement imo. It is just some minor company and market niche they are representing is quite marginal. What is good in this whole situation, that we need to start somewhere.
Of course it would be totally awesome if Google would accept bitcoin or Facebook but maybe next time we will have more and more small and medium companies accepting BTC.

It's a really nice step Cloudways ;) I don't really know what is it though ;D
btw, they have a nice price for a cloud hosting :)
