  1. PHP-FPM Pool Process Manager (pm) Settings

    Being able to set these in the Settings & Packages section would be great.

    pm.maxchildren = # The hard-limit total number of processes allowed
    pm.start
    servers = # When php-fpm starts, have this many processes waiting for requests
    pm.minspareservers = # Number spare processes php-fpm will create
    pm.maxspareservers = # Max number of spare (waiting for connections) processes allowed to be created
    pm.processidletimeout = #

  3. Add "auto_prepend_file" to enable WordPress WAF (Web Application Firewall) plugins

    Add "autoprependfile" to enable WordPress WAF plugins such as Wordfence, Ninja Firewall, iThemes Security etc.

    It would be ideal to have this option at the app level (under application settings) in order to configure a different WAF per installed app, but if that's not possible for now it's ok to have it at the server level (under server settings).

  4. Support for daylight time savings

    It would be great if the PHP timezone settings took daylight savings into account so we don't have to go through and change all of the timings when the clocks change twice a year.

  5. I want to be able to delete backups

    I can't see how much space each backup takes up (Like in GCP or AWS) and can't delete backups if I don't want so many backups I'll be paying for! (Especially for scheduled or accidental backups).

  6. Add rewriting support for static files

    Currently any rewrite rules setup in .htaccess are only applied if a static file doesn't exist at that URL. It makes it impossible to implement host and HTTPS redirection on static files. Either make it possible for .htaccess rewrites to work on static files, or add the ability to configure nginx rewrites as well.

  7. Add the ability to label Backups and flag them to be permanent

    Hi, I see there's suggestion for able to label backups and it's not been implemented yet so I'd like to add another vote for being able to do this.

    Also, it would be great to be able to go intot he automated backup history, and flag any one of them as "Permanent" so they don't get deleted.

  8. Allow us to modify the Varnish Cache configuration file

    Please allow us to modify the Varnish Cache configuration file. Because your interface to exlude varnish with URLs or cookies is very basic, and does not allow us to configure varnish properly to work well with for example geo localization plugins in Magento.

  9. Provide verbose SSL/LetsEncrypt Logs or Error Messages

    If you manage a lot of domains on a single application it's not possible to see which are preventing a renewal/request without contacting support.

    It would be good to have a text box result, or even a live console/trace view for the certificate renewal process (as if I was doing it in certbot/console myself) in order to diagnose issues.

  10. 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. New Email Adress on New application.

    New Email Address option should be there whenever install new application. I hate whenever I install new application it installed on the primary email address. Kindly, provide extra admin user email.

  13. Static cache expiry set by file type

    It would be nice to have the possibility to set different cache expiry limits for different file types. At least images, CSS and JS

  14. Add option to disable MySQL in the Server Management tab.

    Most of my apps use dedicated MySQL servers hosted elsewhere, so having the extra overhead from just running and storing the MySQL service on the servers provisioned by Cloudways is something I want to get rid off.

    Also, horizontally scaling apps also makes MySQL service redundant, since all of the servers still need access to the same database.

    In essence, just add the option to disable MySQL, in the same way there is a "Disable" button next to Varnish.

    Regards!

  17. 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.

  20. Alert should generate if CPU or RAM Idle Usage is less than 40%

    Currently the Bot gives alert if the CPU or RAM idle usage is continuously below 20%. My point is that whenever it goes below 20% an alert should be generated each time.
