  1. Option to turn off offsite backups

    Can you have an option to turn off offsite backups for the server? I love the function, it's just that we need the option to choose. Also this is not stated in the pricing section, so it is kind of misleading and unclear. It is like a hidden cost, which is not good for Cloudways reputation. You can check this on Reddit too, people think that having no option to turn off offsite backup is not good.

  2. Support deployment via AWS CodeCommit

    Currently, you support deployment via Github. But our projects are in AWS CodeCommit, not Github. We request you support AWS CodeCommit.

  4. Trying to white label hosting services but need application alerts for usage!

    To whom it may concern,
    I am trying to create a white label hosting service used through Cloudways(Reseller model), and I'm finding it difficult to accomplish without this feature.  Your cloudways bot seems like the perfect system but it doesn't allow me to set my own custom limits on an application level.  So for example if I have 50 websites on one server, how do I know which one is the abusive user on bandwidth?  
    I need to be able to set custom limits with cloudways bot to notify me if someone surpasses the allocated bandwidth or disk usage that I've…

  5. More options to customize the server.

    For customers who dont want a full stack application server and want to use the server only as a webserver (using apache or nginx), it would be great if you can provide such an image as an option.
    All the other services running on the server unecessarily consume server resources even if they are not being used.
    Alternately, if you can grant the master credentials the ability to start and stop specific applications like mysql etc, via a custom script or via a setting in the console ui that would also work.

  7. allow creating sFTP account from the sub accounts (admin Privilege)

    allow creating sFTP account from the sub accounts (admin Privilege)
    but I also suggest to be an option in the primary account so the main account can decide if he want to share it or not

  8. Permit for the specific country

    I really like to permit the connection to the particular website only for the assign country which the website is targeting its country. Although the site is in the local language like (https://londonlogodesigns.co.uk/) and there no other clauses to permit of other language or country asisdes from google bots.

  10. Provide a warning about resizing disk quotas taking the site down while it's processing

    I clicked the button and it just did it, and whammo, my site was down without a confirmation or warning. There really should be something there that allows someone to stop it if it's an accidental click, or they might want to arrange/schedule downtime...

  11. Need More DigitalOcean Plans

    I am Cloudways users for over 2 years now. As you see at https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/, there are options of $5, $10, two $15 plan(different CPU), $20, $40, $80 plans. It can be helpful for users who need more faster server 3v CPU instead of 2v can go for it.

    And DO plans have been upgraded long back but savings hasn't been passed to customers in this regard. Please look into this.

  12. Domain forwarding

    In cPanel I can easily create forwarding rules for specific domains/subdomains, without having to work in .htaccess. Would be great if there is some interface for this in Cloudways too.

  15. SQL Migration Guru

    Having no option but to use the latest version specially on the database side part, hopefully you will provide some migration guide or help for some lower or other version of SQL server. Like for example on our end, MariaDB is throwing Error 1349 wherein it is fully acceptable on MySQL 5.7.19. This is now becoming a major factor on us availing your service.

  16. add elasticsearch settings to "SETTINGS & PACKAGES - ADVANCED"

    Under "SETTINGS & PACKAGES - ADVANCED" various parameters can already be adjusted today, e.g. for PHP and MySQL.
    Please add "ElasticSearch".
    e.g. the parameter: "indices.query.maxclausecount."

    Note: between the parts
    max clause count is always a _
    Unfortunately this is changed in the view to italic text.

  18. Disable memcached

    I would like the option to disable Memcached. When you have Redis running, there's no need for memcached to be taking resources. I have seen sometimes it has 4-5 processes running.

  20. static ip

    In Amazon Lightsail I can add to my server a static IP address - that way I do not need to change the IP on DNS everytime I increase / decrease server size.
