  1. Add ability to set ServerTokens configuration in Apache

    Often there is a desire by security teams not to expose verbose information about the versions of software and operating system running on a system. It would be great if the ServerTokens and ServerSignature configuration items were available to silence or minimize the information given. The motivation here is to prevent handing an attacker information about what older exploits might apply or not to your server.

  6. Allow NGINX to work in all but specified folders

    I had crushed in a user case which required to manage file permissions via .htaccess RewriteRules, with files physically available inside web-visible folders instead of logic-protected folders, so I had been forced to have CloudWays disable NGINX for my server.

    Instead, it would be nice to have a panel where to configure specific folders with Apache-based file serve, instead of NGINX-based.

  9. Officially support running nodejs as an app user.

    I've chatted with support and they told me you must run NPM and nodejs as a master user. This requirement makes per-app security impossible.

  10. Choose PHP Version for every Application (not for Server)

    It should be possible to choose different php versions on a single server. This is possible in most shared hosting environments and is a big advantage.
    It is expensive to create a new server only because you need for example an old php version for a specific application which is not compatible.

  12. support naming application folders and databases arbitrarily

    The current scheme is absolutely impossible to remember. Even when renaming folders, the randomly selected name remains as the new name is a link.

    That means this would have to be asked for before anything has been set up.

    Usually I want to name the folder and database to the (sub)domain or the actual application name. What's easier to remember than that?

    Support at least letters, digits, "-", "_", ".", unless restricted by the database engine in question.

  13. Add a button to apply MYSQL user ownership to the public_html directory

    Adding a button to apply MYSQL user ownership to the files public_html directory for Moodle will save CSR time and allow them to work on more pressing issues. At the moment you have to contact Cloudways to fix the permissions on that folder after you upgrade your Moodle installation.

  14. More servers located in Brazil!

  16. Improve cloning process

    On cloning an application, optionally allow me to specify the target url and a checkbox to specify that I want an SSL certificate installed.

    This would greatly help improve the process to get that cloned server up and running much quicker.

    Thanks!

  20. Allow SSH2 on your servers

    I want to use a simple application that requires SSH2, and this is not compatible with your server configuration for some reason.
