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.386 votes -
Let us specify the root for a new SFTP account
This is such a basic feature that exists on any cPanel hosting plan. Simply allow us to set the root folder for a new SFTP accounts for an application.
I have software that automatically uploads to the SFTP but the upload fails because your default root (applcations/(appname) is not writable. Simply add a field to let us specify where the root for he new SFTP we just created will be (i.e. applications/(appname)/public_html/newfolder
I cannot stress enough how useful this will be for us developers and will make the CloudWays experience more robust and scalable.

run script after git deploy
the ability to provide a .sh script that will be run after each git deploy if the file cloudways/build.sh is found for exemple.
this way you can run npm install, or anything related to a framework deploy (symfony commands for exemple), or even database migrations

automatic restart when server goes down
I think it's essential that the servers are fixed so that if they go down they automatically restart the server especially on digital ocean + vultr
A few times I've had the site receive a traffic spike out of the ordinary and it pulled my sites down until I manually rebooted it. It should be automatic.

LEMP Stack with Apache removed
The current setup seems to be only using nginx as reverse proxy in front of apache/php-fpm.
Right now requests seem to go this way nginx->apache->php-fpm.
We'd like to test with apache completely removed and nginx->php-fpm direct.
We'd like to have a nginx -> php-fpm setup for generating dynamic content on uncached pages for faster performance.
We are able to get twice the page loading speed from a direct setup on Linode with identical specs with Nginx used for php-fpm than the Thunderstack use of Nginx only as a reverse proxy and Apache for php-fpm dynamic content.

Send Emails When Cron Job Fails To Run
The only way to tell if a cron job has failed is to log in to the console and type mail.
It would be great if these where emailed much like the DenyHosts Messages are.

PHP-FPM Log buffer length limit issue needs resolving
There is an issue on servers configured by Cloudways, in which the PHP-FPM log buffer (error msg length) is set to 1028 bytes. This is too short for many errors messages generated by Wordpress.
It results in many entries of:
"Message":"AH01071: Got error 'the log buffer is full (1024). The access log request has been truncated.'"In the PHP error logs views in Application Manager. So rather than seeing the actual error, you end up just seeing this message. Which is, obviously, very unhelpful.
Apparently it's due to the setting of
log_limitsetting in PHP-FPM, complied with Nginx.

Support multiple nodejs versions like v6, v7 and v8
I recommend you use NVM, so that we can install and select whichever version of Node we want. This would also help with permission issues.

Allow to change nginx config to take care of redirects
Hello, since nginx is at front, would be great if cloudways allows us to change nginx config to take care some redirects, like non-www to www.

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 ;)

Percona DB (for performance)
Percona DB would be a nice addition to the packages available on Cloudways (if you care about performance).
What You Need to Know About the MariaDB & Percona Forks of MySQL
https://blog.appdynamics.com/database/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-mariadb-percona-forks-of-mysql/TL,DR summary: MariaDB is better for advanced features, the latest security and adapting to new tech. Percona excels at database performance and diagnostics. Either one will put you in good company with cutting edge technology firms around the world.

allow edits to nginx config
Sometimes edits need to be applied to nginx config such as:
location ~* .(doc|pdf|xml)$ {
add_header X-Robots-Tag "noindex, noarchive, nosnippet";
}This is not currently possible and there is no work around.
This means that google will index lots of files that it shouldn't and can cause many SEO problems.

Read only user for database
It would be nice to have a read only user for the database so that people that need to perform SELECT queries don't use the admin user to log in.

Allow Remote-SSH (addon) connection from VS Code
When using Remote-SSH addon for VS Code:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-sshI think it tries to install something on host (and fails).
Allowing to do so will support working on remote files directly from VS Code which will be super-cool and convenient

Allow server timezone settings to automatically adjust for BST (summer time change)
In Ireland and the Uk the clock changes twice a year to adjust for BST which becomes GMT+1 this means the server timezone for all apps running London/Dublin location become inaccurate by an hour.
So it would be better if server time zone could match site application time zone (eg Drupal timezone) or else if server timezone can automatically adjust for BST changes.

Multiple IP addresses assigned to a server
I would love to have the option to assign multiple IP addresses to a server, so we can have different apps each on its own IP, on the same server. Right now, we have to boot up a new server (multiplying the costs) each time we need a new IP for an app.
