  1. Password protecting apps from console (via htpasswd)

    I want to get this option in console to password protect my apps which can be done via creating htpasswd on the server. Will reduce the hassle :)

  2. Allow custom application URLs upon creation

    Upon creating an application it would be great to have the ability to create a custom name for the installation (example myclientsite.cloudwaysapps.com) instead of wordpress-XXXXXX-3319779.cloudwaysapps.com.
    This would make it much easier to remember and more professional looking when dealing with client sites.
    Thanks

  3. Seperate funding for each server

    We are a creative agency that creates websites for our clients. We would like to have all our client servers under one roof, our account. As we receive yearly payment of hosting fees in advance, we would like to charge each server with its own funding amount.

  4. STOP USING AJAX FOR SAVING CONSOLE CHANGES!!

    It's slower than traditional POST/submit button. Pain in the backside when having to make multiple changes. Please sort.

  5. Offer the 1.6.x branch of Prestashop alongside the 1.7

    The latest version of Prestashop is 1.7. However it is a large departure from the 1.6 codebase.

    There are currently very very few themes/addons with full compatibility right now.

    You should offer the 1.6.x branch for installation alongside the 1.7.

    Similar to what you offer with magento with the 1.9.x and the 2.0.x releases

  6. Create staging site from backup

    Problem: Right now I have to use a third party backup solution because Cloudways built in backup solution is incomplete.

    Solution: Allow users to restore a backup as a separate application or staging site. This allows us to easily see what the website looked like at any point in the past when a regression issue happens. Also allow us to download backups, so we can pull out specific files from the past without having to revert the database and loose eCommerce order data.

  8. Add Scaleway as a vps provider

    Scaleways offers 4 cores, 2 GB RAM, 50GB disk space at 3 euros/month. Much more than any of the current offering. Its bandwidth has DDOS protection. I think you guys should certainly connect with scaleway!

  9. Add Critical CSS option to the Breeze Cache Plugin

    Add an option to the Breeze caching plugin to generate the critical css for each page. The Autoptimize and Wp Rocket plugins have this feature and it rocks but I've found that your Breeze plugin renders those other plugins features useless. Your plugin alone provides better results than any of those other options. The critical css is the only thing I find to be missing and would greatly improve load times.

  10. Add to CloudwaysCDN DDoS Protection and WAF

    Now that there is a Partnership With StackPath this shouldn't be hard. Add another option, charge more, but add the possibility please. If you look at the comments about CloudwaysCDN on the Facebook Group and on the blogpost about it you'll see there is a demand for it.

  11. Progress bar

    When cloning, adding or migrating an application, some sort of progress bar/percentage would be really handy, just so you know that something is happening, rather than keep refreshing the page in the hope that it will magically finish.

  12. Get DB/file path name with API endpoint

    I'd like to be able to get the DB name/file path with an API endpoint. This allows further automation of dev site setups, and has been requested for years on this forum.

  13. Improve staging environment for websites that use Woocommerce + Elementor

    Paraphrasing an idea put forward for Magento sites...
    The staging area is useless for us at the moment as our users constantly post and sell products, so by the time we have finished work on the staging site updating pages there have been new products added, products sold and so on...this means we cannot merge the staging site with live as it overwrites the orders and products in the database.

    An option to exclude data specific to users, products, sales, etc, would be most welcome, so that we could push page layout and interface developments without affecting other content of…

  14. Allow exceptions to "Direct PHP files access"

    I'd find it really useful to be able to add exceptions to this rule by specifying specific URLs you want to allow direct access for. For example AJAX calls to PHP it might be necessary to have.

  15. Login to Wordpress as Admin with 1-Click

    I like how Plesk WordPress Toolkit allows logging into WordPress admin with 1 click, instead of needing to copy and paste login info.
    This is especially useful when hosting multiple Wordpress websites

    Now its bad that it always shows the default Cloudways admin login even after migrating or changing the login.

    also, allow changing admin login from the dashboard.

  16. Breeze WordPress cache preload

    Cache preload based on sitemap.

    Set sitemap URL on plugin (see example on Comet Cache settings - I can release an install example for you to see).

    In Comet Cache you can set your sitemap URL, so the cache plugin can preload the cache, to make the site as fast as possible. If you're using Yoast SEO or another sitemap generator, you set the preload based on sitemap.

    Important for performance, on Comet Cache you can setup the interval of iteration between each URL reach on the sitemap, so you don't overload the server when preloading the cache.

    Hope I'd…

  17. Let use PhpMyAdmin as a database manager

    Anas Siddiqui, one of your team, confirms that your database editor is incomplete: «you can delete the table but the column delete is not possible, you delete the rows only» and suggested me to leave a feedback.

    I've already read the answer "We made long ago the decision to use adminer against phpmyadmin. This is not going to change in the short term." but why?

    You did a great tool, all based on making life easy for users, and then you chose to make the deployment of PHPMyAdmin not easy... why?

  18. Add **Purge CDN** to Breeze

    When developing a site, site creators will always be toggling settings on and off to make sure everything is working correctly.
    Yet the only way to purge the CDN is to go all the way back into the CloudWays /apps/ dashboard, then purge the CDN from within:
    https://prnt.sc/jtwa07

    The benefits of my suggestion is that it will ease customer service request, reduce on live chat inquiries, and help the site owner alleviate problems when creating content & toggling settings + plugins:
    Add Purge CDN to the Breeze plugin's CDN tab

  19. Continue to support cache plugin!!

    Hi! Your cache plugin is AMAZING! Please, please continue to support it. I tried another plugin (WP Rocket): for my site is far better than that one. I would buy it for sure, if you would decide sell it. Just please continue to develop it, please!
    Just a big THANK YOU for all the creators behind that fantastic plugin!

  20. Better overview - Grid view for applications and servers

    In our web agency we sometimes have a little trouble getting a proper overview over the servers and or applications we have on your platform.
    Would it be possible to make a "Grid view" for the applications? Perhaps with a screenshot of the applications like Flywheel does?
    That would give a 10x better overview :D
