12 Reasons You Should Migrate to dotCMS Cloud

Would your technology team prefer to focus on building innovative apps and supporting the business instead of managing infrastructure? Would you like to reduce your digital platform's total cost of ownership significantly?  If the answer to those questions is yes, read on...

2. Annual CMS Upgrades | Included in any dotCMS Cloud subscription is the annual core CMS upgrade (LTS to LTS). And there's no upcharge. Other managed hosting providers can charge thousands of dollars.
