Autonomous aims to simplify the user experience and assist businesses dealing with inconsistent website traffic, thereby conserving time and resources.

Autonomous tackles a frequent challenge for growing businesses: maintaining website functionality during traffic spikes without overspending on hosting. Traditional methods involve predicting traffic and purchasing hosting accordingly, risking either inadequate resources during high traffic or excessive spending that affects profitability. Website reliability during traffic surges is crucial, as these often reflect changing customer priorities and can significantly influence customer loyalty and brand reputation. Website failures in peak times can escalate customer dissatisfaction, erode trust, and tarnish the brand.

Cloudways manages Autonomous, which dynamically adjusts resources based on traffic flow, increasing during busy periods and decreasing afterwards. This offers a consistent operational website during high traffic and a predictable pricing structure. Autonomous's automated scalability and high-level performance obviate the need for a bespoke dedicated website solution, eliminating server management, IT expertise requirements, or the risk of significant expenditure.
