Dashboard and most liked features of Elementor Cloud Hosting
Right from your Elementor dashboard, you get a one-place stop to manage your website and server. You get access to your pages, domain, subdomains, backups, staging sites, and Elementor Support.
Editing your website with Elementor Cloud
At first, it was a little difficult to get used to the UI, but it is pretty simple once you know where everything is. I was worried I would not be able to add any extra plugins or custom codes since I did not see the “Exit to WordPress Tab”, I would recommend making it more intuitive so new users can find the dashboards easily. Maybe adding the WordPress logo by the Elementor Logo.
It is very easy to create pages on the go and start editing right away, it eliminates the extra clicks to create a new page, edit with Elementor, and so on. The Hello Theme pre-installed. You can also jump to pages or post that are built on your site right from the editor. Creating pages is now faster than ever with these new features in Elementor Cloud
Most Liked features
- Cleaner options: Edit with Elementor and More Options. The decision to include all other functionalities as a drop-down makes it cleaner and easier to take action with the page.
- Set as Home Page: Eliminates extra steps, right from the page list, set your preferred home page.
- Duplicate Pages: Duplicate page is another functionality that avoids installing extra plugins or creating a template out of every single page to “duplicate it”.
Who is it for and when to use Elementor Cloud Hosting
Elementor Cloud emerges as an excellent choice for a variety of websites, particularly those that fall under the category of “straightforward” in nature. In our exploration of this hosting solution, we discovered that it shines particularly bright when applied to websites featuring static pages dedicated to showcasing services and complemented by a blog for disseminating pertinent content.
- Portfolios Websites
- Online CV Websites
- Services Information
In the realm of straightforward websites, where the primary goal is to present information clearly and effectively, Elementor Cloud demonstrates its prowess. Our experience with the platform led us to the conclusion that it stands out as a robust option for websites with static pages designed to advertise services. The user-friendly interface and intuitive design tools provided by Elementor make the process of creating and managing such pages a seamless and efficient endeavor.
I also think it’s a great option for business brochure sites like:
- Restaurants looking to create an online presence and showcase menus
- Service providers (lawyers, plumbers, cleaners, etc.)
- Physical stores looking to provide information (but not for eCommerce in my opinion)
Conclusion and Review of Elementor Cloud hosting
Rating 4.5/5
I was impressed when trying out the Elementor hosting, it is so much more than what communities have been talking about. I see a great future here for web designers and developers who use Elementor as a page builder. Now we can build websites without worrying about super techy managment options and settings for optimization.
Elementor Cloud Hosting makes complete sense, from what I could experience with the free trial. It is a great option and an affordable one to host your website there. You get one platform that requires minimum management and attention on your part since you don’t have to worry about hosting and all of the configurations that come with it.
I noticed faster page loading times inside the editor when compared to my other websites. I even added some animations and it loaded similar, sometimes faster, to pages with no animations at all.
