  1. How Can I Submit a New Feature Request Effectively on Cloudways Feedback Forum?

    Hi everyone,
    I’ve recently started using Cloudways and came across the Cloudways Feedback Forum. I see that it’s a great platform for sharing ideas and improvements with the community and the Cloudways team. However, I’m a bit unsure about the best way to structure my feature request so it gets proper attention and upvotes. Should I include technical details, use-case examples, or keep it short and simple? Also, how responsive is the Cloudways team to suggestions made here? I’d love to hear some tips from experienced users on how to get the most out of this feedback system. Thanks!

  5. Include Malware Protection as Part of Standard Hosting Plans

    While I appreciate Cloudways' malware protection add-on, I believe this feature should be included as part of the standard hosting package. Website security is crucial for all users, and charging extra for basic protection feels like an upsell rather than providing essential services. Including at least basic malware scanning and removal in the hosting plans would offer peace of mind and improve customer satisfaction.

    Please consider this for future improvements.

  6. Allow an account to be the owner of one site and a member of another

    I am the owner of my own tiny consulting company website. My client invited me by email to be a team member of their massive ecommerce site in cloudways but it fails because "this email is already an owner of another website". I have no idea how you could make the system this poorly designed when everything else rocks. As a consultant I am going to own my own web site and be a team member of a number of client websites (they need to be "owners" of their own sites as I may come and go from their team).…

  8. Cloudways has continually enhanced its platform to offer more flexibility and customization for users, especially developers and growing bus

    Cloudways has continually enhanced its platform to offer more flexibility and customization for users, especially developers and growing businesses. One key improvement is the ability to choose from multiple cloud providers like DigitalOcean, AWS, and Google Cloud, allowing users to tailor their hosting based on performance, budget, or regional preference. The platform also supports seamless scaling, meaning you can upgrade server resources as your website traffic increases without downtime. https://mapsdirectionsdriving.com

    Another notable improvement is advanced team collaboration features, making it easier for developers, designers, and clients to work together securely. The staging environment feature allows safe testing before going live,…

  9. Database Naming Issue: Difficulty Identifying Live and Staging Databases

    Using random database names makes it difficult to identify the actual site database inside the Application folder when accessing through WinSCP after creating a staging site. All the database names appear random. Ideally, the actual site’s database name should match the website name, and the staging site’s database name should follow the format: "staging" followed by the website name.

  10. Enabling options in batch for applications

    Having more than 50 applications, it is time consuming to enable a certain application one by one, so if there be an option to enable it for all applications or a select number of them would be helpful

  11. More Useful 'Quick Actions'

    We need a better / more useful 'Quick Actions' dropdown. The current dropdown has:
    - Clone App/Create Staging
    - Add Application
    - Delete Application
    - Rename

    These are not the things that we are doing every day that we want quick access to... Who is needs quick access to delete an application often!?

    Here are my recommended Quick Actions:
    - Take a Backup
    - Restore from Backup
    - Create Staging (if not already done)
    - Push Prod to Staging
    - Pull Staging to Prod

    Rename should be next to the application title
    Add and Delete Application shouldn't be in the…

  13. Deploy applications in docker containers with dashboard settings for resources.

    I suggest adding Docker container support for app deployment in Cloudways, with dashboard controls to limit resources like CPU, RAM, Disk I/O, and Disk Storage per app. Bandwidth limits would be a bonus if feasible.

    Some of us cluster low-traffic, brochure-style sites on a single server instead of using separate VPSs, and this feature would prevent one site from hogging resources and crashing the others. Docker’s isolation would boost security and stability, while resource caps would keep everything balanced.

    For example, if one site gets hit by bots, the others stay online, saving time and headaches.

    Thanks

  14. Enable Elastic Email SMTP Add-on Activation Per Server Instead of Per Account

    Currently, the SMTP email service offered via Elastic Email can only be activated at the account level. However, in my case, I manage over 50 active servers under the same account. This makes it very difficult to track the cost of email usage for each project.

    I would like the ability to activate the SMTP add-on per server, rather than for the entire account. This would allow me to allocate email volumes based on each server's usage. For example, I could activate 50,000 emails for Server X and 12,000 for Server Y. With this setup, I would be able to…

  17. Feature Request: Option to Customize Auto-Scaling Thresholds for Specific Applications

    Hi Cloudways team and fellow users,

    I've been using Cloudways for a while and really appreciate the simplicity and performance. One thing I was wondering: would it be possible to allow users to set custom thresholds or parameters for auto-scaling on a per-application basis?

    For example, instead of only relying on general server resource usage (like CPU or RAM), it would be great if we could fine-tune the conditions that trigger auto-scaling—such as request count, traffic spikes, or even PHP worker saturation—specific to each app.

    This would help manage costs more precisely and avoid unnecessary scaling when only one app…

  18. It would be an amazing idea if you would implement the Digital Ocean Load Balancing features on Regular servers

    It would be an amazing idea if you would implement the Digital Ocean Load Balancing features on Regular servers that are Digital Ocean and maybe even Vultr servers and just charge $12 per month or so as an addon. I like how the regular servers work a lot more then autonomous and think autonomous is overkill for a lot of us, but paying for an addon for the server of Load Balancing, that will be what we really want. Here is the load blaancing on Digital Ocean which Cloudways owns https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/load-balancers

  19. SSH public key access for application user

    Currently only the master server user can use public key access. So all applications that are deployed using SSH access must connect with the master server credentials, which causes issues with folder permissions (especially with chmod commands not working).
    This could be resolved if the default application user can also have SSH access using public keys

  20. 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.
