"Default Application" for server public IP
When I create a $20 Digital Ocean server it's because I'm looking for power! When I host 2+ applications, I'm unable to control which application is attached to the default IP. What if I want application #5 to be the primary website shown when someone visit's the "default ip"?

This is now live. You can set the default application for a server in the Server Settings section → Advanced tab.

Yes, yes yes! We need this too. It's a nightmare having a clients potential competitor site showing up as the default ip address!

I notice that on each server there is an application that serves as the (for lack of a better term) primary application for that server. If you point DNS from a domain to the server IP, you will get this primary application until such time as you assign the domain to the secondary application via the Cloudways admin panel.
Likewise, if a client has their DNS set up so that the wildcard (*) is pointing to the IP Address of the server, then when one enters http://anything.domain1.com, the site visitor will get the "primary" application instead of the one they are expecting.
It would be nice to be able to, at the least, define the primary application so that one could set up a nice File Not Found page or something rather than sending users to a random website.
