Add ability to exclude varnish caching for relative url's on a server level.
Ability to exclude varnish caching relative for url's on a server level. Need /availability to not be cached on all sites hosted on a server. Such as not caching the relative url /availability on all sites hosted on a server. Would prevent having to configure settings on multiple applications.

PHP 8.4 Upgrade
PHP 8.4 was released in November 2024 and I think it would be great to have PHP 8.4 rolled out as an option for CloudWays servers. Currently the max PHP version you can select is 8.3.

Add support for Supervisord Jobs for Symfony application
Currently from UI, I can only add Supervisord job and then I've to take support help to modify for Symfony style command.
Example:
- When adding job from UI, it generates command like below,
command=php /home/xxxxx.cloudwaysapps.com/xxxxx/public_html/bin/console queue:work redis --sleep=3 --quiet --timeout=60 --queue="default" --tries=0
But we need where we can change "async" to any other word,
command=php /home/xxxxx.cloudwaysapps.com/xxxxx/public_html/bin/console messenger:consume async --time-limit=3600

Add default Apache process recycling
I recommend setting a default value for MaxConnectionsPerChild (e.g., 1000) to help manage memory usage automatically. Recycling Apache processes after serving a set number of requests prevents memory bloat and helps maintain steady site performance, especially during high traffic periods.
Why this matters:
Enhanced memory efficiency: Recycling processes keeps memory usage stable, preventing memory bloat.
Improved site performance: Prevents slowdowns caused by excessive memory use during traffic spikes.Currently it's not set.

Improve Firewall List Accessibility
The Firewall list is difficult to use particularly if you have low vision. The tiny country flag icons are difficult to see and if you hover over them nothing is displayed. Would be great to add hover text with the country name at least. Also, clicking the checkboxes in the filter control requires clicking precisely on the checkbox input rather than being able to click on the input label to check / uncheck the item which is far easier for people who have difficulty seeing or are using an alternative input device.

Allow reloading php-fpm via CLI
After a deploy we want to clear the OPcache using the
systemctl reload php8.2-fpm.servicecommand, but we don't have access to it in the CLI. We're looking into a workaround, but currently this is keeping us from hosting more websites at Cloudways.1 vote -
Allow access to supervisor via CLI
We build Laravel websites, and often we use Horizon (https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/horizon). Horizon spawns supervisor processes, which need to be terminated after a deploy, so the changes get picked up.
Currently we don't have access to supervisor in the CLI, and it's important we can do that.

I would like to add a scheduling function in the server management interface, such as restarting Apache, Nginx, MySQL at 08:00 every morning

Separate local backup on app level
Currently, we can only take server level local backup which create for every apps, cloudways should enable control this backup for application level. So that, if local backups are enable on server, we can filter it for which apps we need this backup. Otherwise, backup will take unwanted disk space on server.

For Object Cache Pro, provide an upgrade route when switching from 1Gb to 2Gb+
When upgrading from 1 GB to more RAM, it's a good idea to either:
Draw attention to the fact that Object Cache Pro is not integrated with the current assets and outline the necessary steps (migration) to get Object Cache Pro.
Establish a procedure that, upon server upgrading, instantly adds Object Cache Pro to already-existing assets.

Support for own Cloudflare account with Cloudways Autonomous
Cloudways Autonomous is a great and finally a modern offering for scalable solutions from Cloudways, but it comes with a great limitation for the Cloudflare power users - Cloudflare proxying "orange cloud" is not supported.
Since Cloudways Autonomous is deeply integrated with Cloudflare Enterprise own Cloudways account for security and optimizations it becomes impossible to use own Cloudflare account that gives full access to analytics, rules, bot countermeasures, workers, etc.

Cloudways domains are currently not working on safari, possibly due to an HTTPs configuration error.
All applications with a cloudways domain, i.e. phpstack-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx.cloudwaysapps.com are receiving the following error when served with HTTPS:
"Safari can’t open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes and then try again."
The fix is to add an htaccess rule to the web root folder:
"Header unset Upgrade"This does work, however it seems like there is a Cloudways HTTPS configuration error that could be addressed.
Thanks!

Create an upgrade path for Object Cache Pro when moving from 1Gb to 2Gb+
When moving from 1Gb to a higher RAM it would be good to either:
Highlight the lack of integration for Object Cache Pro for existing assets and what needs to be done (migration) to get Object Cache Pro
Create a routine that adds Object Cache Pro automatically to existing assets on server upgrade1 vote -
Send alert when SMTP settings are changed
Please set up a notification via email when SMTP settings are changed on the server. We have had instances where a member has reset SMTP settings and emails were no longer delivered on our applications. We were not aware until clients brought this up and we investigated. It would be much better to just have a simple email notification sent whenever SMTP settings for a server is changed.

Add Digital Ocean Block Storage Option - Australia Servers
This will allow clients hosted in Australia to migrate from Vultr to Digital Ocean, while being able to upgrade storage quota.
Myself alone have 5 servers pending migration due to the lack of Block Storage in Australia.

Offer Cloudways Autonomous with Digital Ocean's servers (not Google's): really better for RGPD.
Some of us are reluctant to entrust our data (businnes, customers and personal) and our servers to Google.
A Cloudways Autonomous configuration with Digital Ocean servers would better protect our data in Europe.

IPV6 is necessary on CW!
IPV6, this should be a number one feature, because a lot op companies including us work a lot for municipalities and they require to have ipv6 for their web activities. IPv6 has been on the market and in use for a while, so it makes sense for a large platform like CW to also take this step. Personally, I think this feature has many times more impact than a new interface ;)
