  1. Make server settings and packages transferrable or export/importable

    Context: You don't provide root access or downscaling for Digital Ocean, Lincode, or Vulture servers (3/5 of your providers). Also, you only provide 1-1 or upscaled server cloning for these providers.

    Use case: I scaled up my Digital Ocean development server to handle a taxing dev. After I cloned the completed app to my production server, I had to:

    1. Create a new, smaller DO server
    2. Readjust all of my server settings, packages, and customizations
    3. Clone each dev app individually.

    Alternative: Since you provide automated workarounds for your lack of root access, provide a similar, automated workaround for "downscaling" servers.

  2. Provide settings to configure logging to a remote syslog server (+TLS)

    We use a centralised syslog server to monitor our sites. We are unable to link our Cloudways servers to this as we do not have root / sudo access to our own servers which is frustrating. Please can you add settings to the platform to allow us to configure logging to a remote syslog server (with TLS).

  3. Make a server setting to toggle outbound email off

    We need a simple, error-free way to be 100% certain that no outbound emails can be sent from a test / staging server. Can we have a server setting to toggle this on & off? Or even better, redirect all mail to an address we provide or to a log file to 'catch' all outbound mail?

  5. Varnish exclude PHP Sessions

    Hi Cloudways,

    You already offer pages and cookie exclusions from Varnish settings. But you should also consider PHP Sessions for this exclusion.

    We often add a get parameter in our Google Ads, and when visitors go to our website, we would like to store this parameter in a PHP Session and post it on a form when they get in touch.

    Now we need to turn of Varnish completely.

  9. I just deleted an APP from my server. After waiting for the process to complete, I got a message that "<Servername>: has been uninstalled."

    For a jaw dropping moment, I thought my entire server was deleted! This message needs to be changed to reflect that only the APP that I actually deleted was the one removed.
    Thank you!

  11. New Feature: per app smtp host, port, username and password configuration

    Currently we can configure SMTP at "Servers -> Server Management -> SMTP".

    This request is to add this same functionality at "Applications -> Application Management -> SMTP".

    This can be a preferred solution then to add extra plugin code to each app.

  12. error on SMTP settings page

    I just accidentally entered the incorrect password for my SendGrid account, but there was no indication on the SMTP settings page. When my site failed to send out emails, I had to contact CloudWays support. They let me know there was an authentication error, and I re-entered my credentials and now it works. If there was some indication that an authentication error had occurred with status feed back on the SMTP settings page, then I would be able to correct it without taking up CloudWays Support's time.

  19. give more time before you delete someone's server and applications

    If you're barely late on a payment, they'll delete your server. Sometimes they will put an extension in place and restore it immediately (if not totally deleted). But sometimes, they just delete it. I even had a payment arrangement in place and they deleted my server and applications. They give maybe a few days to fix it. My website is a main way that I make money. I HAVE to have it up and running. It wasn't that bad of a price but I had to upgrade to get the malware service since it got malware.

    So, my suggestion is…
