DISABLE_WP_CRON by default
Would define a trustable WP Cron for low traffic sites, as It won't depend on visits any more.
And also and no less important, High Traffic sites would have a stability boost.So, by default add this in wp-config.php
define('DISABLEWPCRON', 'true');And automatically setup an actual cron job in the App Console.

Allow users to rename application folder
It's great that we can now have a single SFTP account to access all applications on each server. However the randomly generated application folder names, while secure, are not user-friendly. By the time I have looked up which folder corresponds to each application, I might as well have set up an FTP account for each application.
Give us the ability to rename application folders to something meaningful would make the functionality much more useful
9 votesThis is now live. You can find it in Application Tab → Access Details section.

Backup single applications
Actually, we can take SERVER backups but we can RESTORE single applications. This is good but it would be great if we could also take a backup of a single application.
Consider this : we'll deploy an upgrade but before we want to made a backup that we can restore just after deployment if anything goes wrong.
- Actually, we need to take a full server backup, which takes several minutes ;
- I f we could made a backup of this single app, it would take 90% less time.
This could be placed at the same level than RESTORE tab under…

Add dashboard for applications
We have a console for Servers, where we can list all of our servers, enter each one and see the list of Applications on that server (by hitting application management and then viewing the drop-down list)
I'd like a console for viewing all applications, independent of server, so we could find a specific site without having to trudge through each server screen.
It'd simply act as a list of shortcuts directly into the Application Management screen for each.
At the end of the day, we only care about our Applications, that we need servers to host them is incidental, ideally…

Drupal 8 support plan
With Drupal 8 release imminent (https://www.drupal.org/node/2605142) could you publish a schedule for supporting Drupal 8 installation as an option, as well as Drush 8? We don't envisage building client sites with it for a few months at least, but would welcome knowing your plans for supporting it, and having the option to start testing.

Add Blacklist section in your security tab
The current server management console, has a n area where we can whitelist our IP address to avoid lockout problems. But could we also get for our servers a blacklist option?
There are multiple WordPress sites I manage. And you have no idea how many hacking attempts I get daily. Being able to block the ip addresses from where these attempts are coming from...could really help us secure our WP sites even more.

Option to download a full application backup from console (web files + database)
I want downloadable backups to transfer them to some other server or our inhouse server.
It is very important to have different locational or different provider to have my backup
as somefine day if something happens to your infra (i really don't wish) but data is crucial and i want to be dead sure
i have 5 customers to refer to but with out option of thirdparty backup they will not get to you100 votesThis has now been completed. In Server tab, under Backup section you can now enable “Local Backups”.
This will take, additionally to the off-site backup, a local application backup (both files and database) in the local_backup sub-folder of each application. Just one backup set (latest) will be stored there.
You can automate downloading backups to wherever you want via SSH/SFTP.
We are going to create KB’s and a blog post related to this new feature. Will post links here when done.

Fix privacy and security issue on fresh WordPress installs
When adding a fresh WordPress App, the default admin account Cloudways creates adopts the account holders email address. This is also becomes the display name by default, showing up on the front-end, exposing the account holders email address involuntarily. The display name should be set to something other than the email address.

Slow initial console login when having lots of servers
I have around 30-35 servers on my dashboard. When we login, it takes around 1 minute to show the list. So everytime I log into CloudWays, it takes around 1 minute to show my server list...It's comming slower and slower as I add new servers.....

White-label application URL
To me not having a white-label Cloudways application is absolutely of no concern. The only concern I have (because I offer clients managed Wordpress hosting) is the fact that the application-url is not white-label. If only I could have my brand name in stead of Cloudways I am done.
