Automatic Scaling
Would be nice if we had an auto scaling feature where the server would automatically upgrade to the next level in the event a site is posted on a news site or all of a sudden got a rush of traffic.
Example the server load is 85% the system knows to upgrade. The downtime for an upgrade on Amazon is about 5-10 mins. That's better than having your site down for an hour because the server is overloaded.
20 votesKyup is now live from Cloudways. Automated scaling up is available. Scaling down is not automated by now, but we are working with Kyup to make it a reality asap.

We have got into a partnership with Sucuri where we can offer their services at a discounted price. Read more here:
https://support.cloudways.com/how-to-setup-sucuri-antivirus-website-monitoring/After extensive research, we think Sucuri is the best option for our customers. They are experts in the CMSs we deploy (Wordpress, Magento …) and their services have the flexibility our customers need (including on-demand site cleaning).

Support Git push / pull to remote via SSH
The current Git Deployment feature is great but doesn't support committing and pushing changes back to the remote repo. Files are changed when new plugins are installed or media is uploaded and these files will be excluded from the repo if they aren't committed and pushed.
Users could bypass the Git Deployment feature all together and use native Git via SSH if they were allowed access to the .ssh folder. However in order to push and pull to a remote repo via SSH, Git needs to write to the .ssh folder which you forbid. I understand you don't want to…
29 votesWith the new credentials system (http://www.cloudways.com/blog/old-ssh-sftp-user-to-the-new-credentials-system/) recently deployed, you can now use all git functionality via command line (push, pull, clone …).
This will work ONLY for master credentials (https://support.cloudways.com/difference-between-master-credentials-and-application-credentials/) as team members don’t have SSH access anymore.
With master user now, you can create your own .ssh folder, so all git options should be unlocked.
Please note this refers to git execution from the command line and is different from the basic Git Deployment feature integrated with our console (https://support.cloudways.com/using-git-for-deployment/), that will just pull a remote repository from the console, store it locally on the server and sync it with the public_html folder of your application and is aimed at users with basic git needs and not comfortable with the command line.

Wordpress Security
For wordpress security, it is a common practice to move up by one level the wp-config.php file from the publichtml directory. Allowing the very important wp-confog.php file to remain in the publichtml directory is considered unsafe. Presently this is not possible in cloudways. WIll this be allowed by cloudways in the futire?

Realtime billing dashboard
It would be very helpful to me to get my realtime billing counter display in the members area under the billing section, so I could evaluate how much cost I will actually pay depending on new services, upgrading services (scaling) or degrading and stopping services.
Now, I have to wait for the end of the month for this.
Google and Amazon give me realtime billing. please see if you can develop similar functionality.
Regards,
Nadav Kavalerchik11 votesYou can find real time billing information in your member area / billing section:
https://www.cloudways.com/en/member/You will see there, the amount you have spent in current month so far and a forecast of your total month spending based on current usage levels.
Hope you find it useful!

"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"?

SPDY
It would be good idea to start implement SPDY from Google. In this time its relatively heavy pressure for https sites (in my opinion its good idea at all). In this case Varnish is out, so put option for SPDY will be logical step for sites using SSL certificates.

Add the functionality to search for a specific app on the server page or list them all in one place.
For users that have many many servers and many apps on each of those servers it is hard to find specific applications quickly. As my server/apps list continues to get larger and larger it will only grow to be a bigger problem.
Maybe a "quicklinks" area at the top of the page that has a dropdown of all your applications listed alphabetically, when chosen you will be taken to the details page of that specific app as it does currently.
Aggregating all the servers applications into one additional place for selection, I think, would be the best and most simple…
5 votesThis is now done. Find option “Filter Apps/Servers” on the top right console corner.
Let us know your thoughts.
