  1. The account switcher doesn't work unless you logout and log back in

    I'm a developer who manages many servers. Including servers on multiple Cloudways accounts. I've noticed for the past couple months that the account switcher (the dropdown to the right of the Cloudways logo) doesn't work unless I just logged in. If I haven't just logged in it gives me a "You are not authorized to perform this action" error after attempting to switch to a different account. So I have to log out and log back in every time I want to switch accounts.

  2. Improvements for Deployment Process

    Hi. If a Magento project uses the internal deploying flow it would be great to have a chance to add updates to the deployment process.
    The issue:
    1 - We need to put store to the maintenance (manually)
    2- Click pull in the cloudways (Deployment via GIT tab)
    3 - Wait when the updates will be pulled and file right updated - (Magento contains too many files and this process can take around 6 minutes)
    4 - Run Magento deploying scripts manually

    Idea:
    Some triggers can be added to the cloudways script to avoid run some deploying parts manually.
    For…

  3. Enable apache directory listing in public_html

    Apache directory listing can be very usefull when you need to provide several GB of data to the public, like daily newspaper roundups or other kinds of files that are heavy and are provided as a service to our clients.

    I suggest CW to allow clients to enable apache directory listing or at least gives us the possibility of enabling it in only a few directories though CW support.

  4. We need Storage Option to offload WordPress video, audio, photos, & other uploads to a secondary storage.

    Membership sites and Course websites can easily become storage intensive and the current plans you offer do not offer enough storage and are not a good solution for this. In my opinion the current Block Storage solution doesn't make much sense to me. I need to be able to offload video, pictures, audio, and other uploads to a secondary storage solution either hosted by Cloudways or other platforms. It would be nice if Cloudways had an option to purchase a secondary storage option then through a plugin made by you or a third party be able to offload the media…

  6. Notification when Elastic email hits 90% of your subscription

    Currently you get an email when you hit 70% and 100%. That's a very big gap.
    A 90% limit reached lets you know when it's really critical.

  7. Applications List View: Enable Pagination Setting of X Items per Page

    The current application list view default to 10 applications per page:
    -> It is NOT possible to change the number of items per page.

    Suggest to enable pagination setting for number of items per page. This is a simple UI adjustment, but very useful for daily application management.

  8. Digital Ocean block storage

    Could you please add a option to upgrade just a computing power (RAM & CPU cores etc.) without increasing SERVER'S OWN DISK If I already have enough space available on block storage?

    Since most of the time 50GB is enough for logs and operating system operation. After then I just want to upgrade computing power without increasing SSD.

    I'm making this suggestion based on this statement:
    "once you add a Block storage, the SERVER's OWN DISK becomes unusable for web files, it is dedicated to LOGS and server Operating system only."

    If it is possible, please make this feature available.

  10. Suggestion regarding Breeze functionality

    (A quick and important disclaimer: I'm not expert and the suggestions below are not based on any technical or professional test. There are based on few experiences gathered from using other WP caching plugins, and the way those plugins function)

    I want to really commend CloudWays team for the recent Breeze WP plugin 2.0 update. AMAZING!

    Switching from other speed plugins, including WP-Rocket, and installing the new update increased my site speed significantly; I was shocked! Great thumps up to you guys!

    But I have a suggestion. I noticed that Redis cache get cleared completely when any page is updated,…

  11. Add a note option for whitelisted IP addresses

    Under the security tab, make it possible to add a note for every whitelisted IP address. Then I can remember which IP address is the one off coworking space, which is the developer that’s no longer working for us, quickly find my old IP address after my ISP changes it again, etc. -- all allowing me to keep IP addresses that are whitelisted tidy and at a minimum.

  12. Support Multi-Tenant Wordpress setups.

    One of the newly popular ways to set up Wordpress is in a Multi-Tenant setup. This means one instance of Wordpress runs multiple sites, but each with their own DB, etc.

  14. SSH/SFTP White List - Terminal Command

    It would be nice if we could whitelist IP's from the GUI Terminal - sometimes the GUI doesnt always "stick" when I hit save.

    However, executing a command in GUI terminal always executes if you hit enter.

    It would be nice to have a backup way (e.g. via GUI Terminal) to execute certain functionality like "Whitelisting IPs" in the firewall.

  15. Multiple databases per application

    Please, please, allow multiple databases per application.

    I think this is a must-have feature. For example, for Drupal sites, this would enable the "multisite" capability. In this configuration, multiple sites share the same Drupal core code and modules. This makes updating Drupal core and modules a snap, as you can update multiple sites in one step.
    Think of a web agency that maintains dozens of Drupal sites - updating one at a time is a lot of work. Drupal doesn't support automatic updates like WordPress but it's rumoured to be available in Drupal 10. The multisite features requires multiple databases…

  16. keep staging environment out of the index

    We don't want your staging site appearing in search results, so we suggest to prevent Google from indexing its content. maybe by forcing a new Robots.txt or Blacklist search engines IPs

  19. Display Backup storage requirements

    Cloudways server backups require at least 50% storage space of the server to perform a full backup. This mean's although they are moved off the server once complete if you are currently using 51GB of 100GB storage the full server backups will fail to run. For those that backups are important to, at least 50% must always be available.

    It would be good to have a feature somewhere in the server management that won't allow you to fill the server more than 50%.

    Other suggestion:
    - Warnings to say "Your website is 51% full, backups won't run! Free up storage…

  20. Create custom URL for new Cloudways apps - without subdomains

    For example...
    we could change: wordpress-565604-2320235.cloudwaysapps.com
    to: easyname.cloudwaysapps.com

    This is a common feature on WPengine. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/hqEZfVj

    Currently, the only way to do this on cloudways is to make a subdomain. However this...
    1. Makes launch more complicated because you have to migrate to a new app before pointing domain.
    2. Bloats the primary domain.
