Is a sponsorship email from Cloudways legit?
Cloudways does sponsor creators, which is exactly why scammers wear its name. Here is how the real thing looks, and how to tell the difference in one minute.

Real Cloudways outreach comes from these registered domains (or their subdomains):
A different ending (like .co instead of .com), extra words (like -collab or -media), or a free mail address are the three most common impersonation moves.
