  1. allow varnish exclusion based on http response code

    Please allow us to exclude varnish caching by the http response code. My particular use case is that I am reverse proxying to another website that uses 302 redirect when a user is not logged in. If varnish has cached the 302 redirect, it continues to redirect (infinite loop) even after the user has logged in. While I can exclude all the dangerous pages by hand, it would be much better to just disable caching of all 302's. This took 1 minute to set up in fastly (trying out a free plan), but I would rather keep using you guys!

  2. Separate backup schemes for database to the ones of files

    Since database backups are not incremental, there should be an option to be able to choose different backup durations and retention periods, from file backups.

    For example, in my eshops I have hourly backup which is ok for files since it is incremental. But hourly full backups on the database can consume disk space for no reason.

  3. Monitoring during update of settings

    I would like to have monitoring enabled to be visualize while doing the update of settings in my server.

    This is a crucial time to have that information, as problems tends to arise when configuration changes, so being blocked by entering into server details while settings are being updated is not a good UX.

  4. 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.

  5. Allow users to enable/disable curl on individual applications

    I am developing a WordPress plugin and need to test behaviour on different server settings (eg curl) in a live environment.

    Would be helpful if:

    • Users could control this without needing support from Cloudways team
    • It were possible to toggle curl on a per-app basis (don't want to disable on all apps, just the one I'm testing).

    *Otherwise please provide me a free dev server that stays within my total resource limits if it's only possible to disable/enable server-wide.

  9. 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...

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Make logging in via SSH a little more convenient

    There are two features of logging in via SSH I've grown used to in other servers that I found to be lacking in Cloudways:
    (1.) One is the ability to have some type of private RSA key saved locally so that we don't need to enter a password every time.
    (2.) The other is the ability to specify the path we want to log in to, so we don't always need to land in the root applications directory and then cd into the usually extensive path to a specific site's child theme for instance. In other servers you can sign…
