Scaling up is easy.

Scaling down (with Vultr, DigitalOcean or Linode) requires to clone a server.

When cloning, server gets new IP address - this causes a lot of hassle with application integration or DNS configuration.

SUGGESTION:
It would be great to make scaling down hassle-free, so that after cloning server could have the same IP as previous server.

Add the ability to turn on ssl_session_cache.

Gives a speed boost for but also cuts down overheads for not having to request new keys every time a page request is made.

This is a pretty standard option, it shouldn't cause any conflicts as can be set individually on drops.

This is one line for a quick gain...current SSL testing is failing on this point.

You support high cpu instances for AWS and Google Cloud but not DigitalOcean.

Can you include support for choosing different instance types for DigitalOcean such as their high CPU Instance?

There was an infrastructure update that defaults files/directories to 720 permissions. Now FTP users no longer see any of the files or directories because of these permissions. Chat support's "solution" is to use the "reset permissions" function, which will then change the permissions of files and directories to 770.

First, why were the default permissions changed from 664/755, to 720? I've never seen this configuration before, so it seems odd to me.

Second, why is this a two step process for FTP users to gain access to the public_html directory? The default application permissions should MATCH the "reset permissions" permissions.

A solution with rsync, sql parallelism and a load balancer will be great.
It is important for some sites to have 0% downtime.

I would like to have seperate settings per location in my nginx configuration. Currently I cannot access the "server.nginx" configuration file in my application (which I assume to be the site configuration).

I have GeoIP country switcher on my woocommerce site.
But when I use with Varnish, it forces back to the country which the GeoIP detects instead of the one user wahts to change to. Once Varnish deactivated, country switcher works properly. First detection correct as well as manual change of the country possible.
This module should solve the issue.

Multi-server applications are very common these days.
Example: Application files on one server and Database on another server like RDS.
We need such option to put our large applications onto it.

On "Server Monitoring --> Details" the timeframes of "2 Hours" and "6 Hours" should be added back. They're very usefull and missed.

It would be great to see a dedicated service (virtual dedicated, metal dedicated or otherwise) that support custom OS installations from ISO with temporary console access (or permanent console access won't hurt)

HTTP2/Push feature can improve performance greatly.
it is introduced with the newer nginx version https://www.nginx.com/blog/nginx-1-13-9-http2-server-push/.

DesktopServer version 3.5.2 has a new direct deployment feature to get your WordPress websites from your desktop to your hosting provider in just a few clicks.

To do this Cloudways must support File System Direct.

File System Direct is a (PHP) feature that allows WordPress to write files to the local file system on the server. At the moment it does not so we can't use this feature in DesktopServer.

Hi,

Why don't make phpmyadmin as the default database manager. Everybody uses it. All tutorials on the web are about this manager.
Not this cloudways default manager.

Now i always need to do a complicated time taking installation.
This is not user friendly?

Hi,
it will be great if there is app setting for max usage of server power. E.g. a can set, that this app can use max 50 % of server power.

add unmanaged servers for cheap price

Right now we have two options for having SSL working for WordPress networks. We can have a wildcard SSL certificate OR we manually map domains to each subsite. It would be nice of we could have both.

Thank you

Trial, 2GB Ram, 50GB disk space, and 25GB bandwidth!!! I downloaded 35GB files, and I deleted, and downloaded 10GB files again, extracted, and the server was turned OFF "allowed bandwidth exceeded"!!!!!

Is this not funny and 'technical joke'?

MailHog is very handy if it comes to development. It catches every sent mails and shows them on a web interface.

It would be nice if one could enable/disable MailHog like other services for development purposes.
