Unlimited Web Rules
I have some apps that are very slow on the back-office on page load. i was recommended to switch to the lightning stack which i would gladly do if there was unlimited web rules for my redirections as I can no longer use the .htaccess. As I have a lot of redirections in place via a plugin (Redirections / Rank Math) I am kind of stuck. Can you please look into that.

Secure API Access for Database Credentials
For multi-tenant SaaS setups, developers need automated access to database credentials when new applications are created.
Instead of exposing raw MySQL credentials, Cloudways could:
Provide API-generated temporary access tokens
Support credential rotation via API
Enable event/webhook triggers on app creationThis would allow secure automation while avoiding permanent credential exposure and improving support for modern SaaS architectures.

When cloning a site and selecting the new destination server it would be handy to have the PHP version show alongside the Database version.

Incorporate PDF invoices into payment reminders
It would be really appreciated if the monthly invoices could be attached as a PDF to the emails that notify of payment.
At the moment, in order to obtain a duplicate for our accounting department, we are required to log in to our account using two-factor authentication whenever we get a billing notification.
For those customers who require the invoice on a monthly basis, this is truly an unnecessary hassle!
This suggestion, in my opinion, would be beneficial to all customers and should be straightforward to execute.

Keep team members with restricted application access from seeing server details
The server details (server type, drive, etc.) are displayed on the first console screen after team members log in when I grant them limited access.
Clients should be able to access applications, but they shouldn't be able to tell what server tier I'm running them on. Either hide the server information or skip it and go to the application dashboard.

Make the default password stronger and make it possible to change the Wordpress admin credentials
Wordpress cloning fails because the credentials used to access the admin area are incorrect. The right password is being misunderstood because of this. In addition, WordPress uses very weak default passwords when integrating applications. Would prefer the option to create a more robust password and have it automatically synced with my admin area access data so that all of my admin workers may share this information.

Native UI Caching Rules for Infinite Scroll & AJAX (For Webtoon/Comic Sites)
Our site, https://controllerandcape.com/, focuses heavily on comics, manhwa, and visual novels. Because of the vertical reading format that our audience expects, we rely heavily on infinite scroll and AJAX pagination to load sequential image panels seamlessly.
The problem is that standard caching solutions often bypass AJAX calls. This means every time a user scrolls down to read the next part of a comic or review, it hits the server's PHP workers directly, causing unnecessary CPU spikes during high-traffic hours.
It would be a massive game-changer if Cloudways introduced built-in, easy-to-toggle Varnish/Redis caching rules specifically designed to handle infinite scroll…

Improve Knowledge Hub with Step-by-Step Service Guides
I suggest enhancing the Cloudways platform by adding a well-structured knowledge hub that includes simple, step-by-step guides for users. Many people prefer clear instructions when dealing with technical or service-related tasks, so having easy-to-follow tutorials, FAQs, and real-world examples can significantly improve the user experience.
For example, platforms like https://parivahansewaain.com/ provide straightforward guidance for services like driving licenses, vehicle registration, and online applications. A similar approach, focused on simplicity and clarity, could help Cloudways users better understand features and reduce support queries.
Adding this kind of user-focused content would make the platform more accessible, especially for beginners, and improve overall…

Native 1-Click Object Storage (S3) Integration for Media-Heavy Publisher Sites
Running a gaming news and guide site like https://silvanguard.com/ means we upload hundreds of high-res screenshots, GIFs, and media assets every single week. Because of this, our server's SSD storage fills up incredibly fast compared to our actual CPU/RAM usage.
Currently, we have to rely on bulky third-party WordPress plugins to offload our media library to external buckets (like AWS S3 or DigitalOcean Spaces). It complicates our workflow, adds overhead to the admin panel, and sometimes causes caching conflicts.
It would be a huge quality-of-life improvement if Cloudways offered a native "1-Click Object Storage" add-on directly from the console. Automatically…

Add Browser-Based GPU Performance Testing for Better Cloud Graphics Optimization
It would be extremely useful if Cloudways explored support, optimization guidance, or integration pathways for browser-based GPU stress and graphics performance tools like VolumeShader BM [https://volumeshaderbm.com/]. As more web applications rely on real-time rendering, WebGL, 3D visuals, and interactive graphics, developers need better ways to understand how hosting environments, delivery performance, and browser-based workloads interact.
A platform like VolumeShader BM shows the growing demand for lightweight, browser-based performance experiences that run without heavy installation. This opens a strong opportunity for Cloudways to provide value to developers building graphics-intensive web tools, interactive demos, browser games, and performance-driven web apps.

One-Click Lightweight App Deployment & Distribution (Inspired by Micro APK Platforms like CCPlay)
Hi Cloudways Team,
I’d like to پیشنهاد an idea that could expand Cloudways’ capabilities beyond traditional web hosting into lightweight app distribution and deployment.
Platforms like CCPlay https://ccplay.app focus on delivering a minimal, fast, and efficient experience for distributing Android applications (APK) directly to users. A similar concept could be adapted within Cloudways by introducing a one-click deployment system for lightweight apps or downloadable packages.
💡 Proposed Idea:
Enable developers to host and distribute APKs or lightweight app packages directly from Cloudways
Provide secure, fast CDN-backed download links
Add version control and update management for distributed files
Include basic analytics…1 vote -

Servers and apps list appeared on the first page
I wish the servers and apps list appeared right on the first page, where it’s immediately visible and easy to access without any extra steps. Having it front and center would make navigation much smoother, especially for users who rely on those features frequently. Instead of digging through menus or clicking multiple tabs, everything could be found in one convenient spot, saving time and reducing frustration. A clearer, more accessible layout like this would improve the overall user experience and make the platform feel more intuitive and efficient to use.

1-Click "Auto-Burst" Scaling for Media Publishers During Viral Traffic Spikes
Cloudways is fantastic for stable, predictable traffic, but digital media publishers face a unique challenge. Whenever our editorial team drops a day-one game guide or an exclusive review on https://thegamerreport.com/, we experience massive, unpredictable traffic spikes that can last for 24-48 hours before stabilizing.
Currently, handling these sudden surges requires manually scaling up the server (which sometimes involves cloning/migration downtime) and then manually scaling it back down.
It would be an absolute game-changer if Cloudways introduced an "Auto-Burst" feature. Allowing servers to dynamically allocate extra CPU/RAM for a short, metered period during viral spikes (and billing per hour for…

Improvement Suggestion for Cloudways
Cloudways offers a paid malware cleanup service, but this may not be the best approach given the already premium pricing of their platform. Considering the cost of their services, it would be ideal if malware cleanup were included as part of the package or offered as a free feature. This would provide greater value to users who are already paying a premium for reliable hosting, ensuring that they don’t face additional charges for essential security services. At https://nexalitservices.com/ we believe that offering such a crucial service as part of the standard package would align with Cloudways' commitment to quality and…

Simplify Dashboard Navigation
Hi Cloudways team,
First of all, I really appreciate the flexibility and performance your platform offers. It’s clear that Cloudways is designed to give users powerful control over their hosting environment while still keeping things relatively simple compared to traditional cloud setups.
That said, I’d love to suggest some improvements around the dashboard experience and workflow efficiency. When managing multiple applications or servers, the interface can sometimes feel a bit cluttered, and it takes extra time to navigate between key settings like monitoring, scaling, and security. A more streamlined dashboard with customizable views (for example: favorite servers, quick stats, or…

Give users as much relevant data as possible
I personally feel that, since your service functions as a tool, it should prioritize giving users as much relevant data as possible rather than limiting or hiding it. One of the main strengths of a good tool is efficiency—being able to access information quickly, clearly, and with minimal friction. In that regard, the old UI felt significantly more effective. It was more compact, better organized, and allowed users to take in a larger amount of information at a glance without having to dig for it. With the current UI, it feels like that efficiency has been reduced. Information that was…

Lightning Stack Configurations for Subdirectory Installations
Hybrid stack is currently required for WordPress sites that are installed under a subdirectory folder (e.g. example.com/courses which loads /public_html/courses/index.php) — .htaccess gives rewrite rules that are currently needed to make this setup possible.
For websites with a strong SEO presence, a subdirectory installation in critical to maintain good standings with Google. The alternative subdomain approach (courses.example.com) would devastate SEO history.
This feature request is to add configurations to Lightning Stack so that subdirectory installations are possible.

Bug Report: SSH/SFTP Users Not Visible to All Admins in Application Settings
Hi Cloudways team,
I'd like to report what I believe is a bug in the application SSH/SFTP user management UI.
When an admin creates an additional SSH/SFTP user under Application Settings, that user is only visible to the admin who created them. Other team admins cannot see the user in their control panel at all.
This is a problem because SSH/SFTP users are system-level accounts, they exist on the server and are shared infrastructure, not personal preferences tied to a specific Cloudways admin. In a team environment:
- Other admins have no visibility into what system users exist
- There's no way…
