  1. support forcing lowercase URLs

    It's poor SEO to be able to access the same pages of a website on different URLs - this includes capital letter URLs for any web service that utilises re-writes (e.g. a CMS such as Wordpress).

    This can be resolved by utilising htaccess with a RewriteMap or Nginx, see links below. But none of these options are included in the standard server config and Cloudways interface doesn't allow them to be added.

    Be really useful if this was possible. Support tried to implement the htaccess option for me, but it took down Nginx for some unknown reason -…

  2. allow bash profiles

    As a developer I'm drawn to hosts where I can set up my own bash profiles and use ssh, so I can recreate the same workflow on many sites. Would appreciate the ability to do so here.
    I'm in the habit of binding "rm" to "rm -i" for one thing, which is all of a sudden a very dangerous habit that I'm in.
    I don't know the security risks very well to allowing profile creation, but I've seen many hosts allow it.

  4. Please Install GhostScript

    Please install Ghostscript. ImageMagick, happens to be enabled on the servers but not GhostScript?

    Per the ImageMagick site: "While it is not a requirement, it is strongly recommended that the Ghostscript package be installed"

    Seems silly it's not, as it's kind a hand in hand combo. Not to mention required for tools such as GraphicsMagick and such..

  5. Prepaid Service

    Adding a prepaid method along with the current one is a good idea! Some more payment options like debit cards and multiple currencies like INR will help the users as well as expanding cloudways. Think about it...

  6. Offer Agency Plan

    I have migrated 10 of my clients to Cloudways and now I have 10 separate accounts I must manage and log in to. I suggest you all offer an agency account that allows you to run an "agency" with clients on their own server and own billing options. It is extremely difficult to manage 10 different accounts. Also I did not realize there was an affiliate option and now I migrated 10 clients offer and will not be receiving affiliate commissions. I would love these features. Thank You!!

  8. Allow Agency Like Functionality - Client Pay

    Hi,

    I really like how pantheon allows you to send clients a link to pay for their server directly from your agency account. If you all could add this functionality that would be amazing. That way we could manage all our clients accounts/servers under one interface. It would also be really great to have a sandbox account with aws or something for dev sites with a free tier or something like that to put website templates in their and use while building out the site. Thank you!

  9. Shell script for migrating via Terminal

    Can you provide a cPanel > Cloudways SSH script that we can run in the terminal and change the parameters for each site (we used one similar once to migrate 30+ sites from Plesk to Virtualmin). It's simple to use once you have copied and pasted the settings for each migration

  10. support removal of projects

    The title says it all I guess. There could be a lock for projects that have been assigned, but as nothing dreadful happens to the application, this would not be a necessary condition. A warning might be enough.

  11. Lift limit on cron job scripts

    I need to be able to add unlimited cron jobs to my application. My previous server provider allowed for this and I don't know why there's a limit in place.
    I have a bunch of crons that I need to be able to add and control on one particular application and I'm only going to need to add more as they increase their usage.
    Additionally it would be great if the server time took daylight savings into account so I don't have to go through and change all of the timings when the clocks change twice a year.

  12. Let us select our own Digital Ocean Server Droplet

    It would be great if you can let us select our own server for Digital Ocean. I am an affiliate who promotes various hosting companies.

    As you know, Digital Ocean offers you $25 for every referral who successfully signed up with Digital Ocean.

    So it is not feasible for me to use CloudWays.

    I won't mind paying the server management charges.

  14. SMTP Add on

    How about a "Test" button on the SMTP Add on, after typing in all the configuration information? It will make debugging easier, as you don't have to test through the application..

  15. Enable snapshots for DigitalOcean servers

    DigitalOcean has the ability to take snapshots of a droplet built into their service. However the snapshots add-on is not currently available in Cloudways.

    I huge benefit of DigitalOcean is being able to take snapshots and restore a server quickly. Backups take a long time to restore - while snapshots are much faster.

  16. PHP-FPM Pool Process Manager (pm) Settings

    Being able to set these in the Settings & Packages section would be great.

    pm.maxchildren = # The hard-limit total number of processes allowed
    pm.start
    servers = # When php-fpm starts, have this many processes waiting for requests
    pm.minspareservers = # Number spare processes php-fpm will create
    pm.maxspareservers = # Max number of spare (waiting for connections) processes allowed to be created
    pm.processidletimeout = #

  19. Automated website optimisation

    Why do we need to manually optimise each aspect of website performance for each of our applications if Google and other created mod_pagespeed and constantly adding new functionality to it for the last six years?

    DreamHost, Pressable, GoDaddy, SiteGround, MAXCDN, Aol, LinkedIn and other have adopted it. I don't understand why we don't have it.

    It has over 40 filters that can greatly improve our workflow, and save us a lot of time doing something that can be automated with few clicks.
    http://modpagespeed.com/

    It can do almost all of performance improvement tasks.

    - resize images to optimal…
