  3. More mysql config options

    It would be nice to have more granular access to the mysql/mariadb configuration. A few more items that would be good to be able to configure:

    querycachesize
    joinbuffersize
    tmptablesize
    maxheaptable_size

  4. Display apps in two or three columns

    The apps lists currently shows all apps using a single column layout. That is all good when managing the account through a smartphone, but not so much when doing it via the desktop browser - even more so when there are tens of apps (my case; I run a small web hosting/web design service).

    I suggest that the apps list should display apps in two or three column layouts. I believe it would be much easier to find whatever app I'm looking for. Also, a text search would not be that bad.

    BTW this is how ManageWP shows its websites…

  6. Add The Ability To Print Or Export The List Of Servers And Applications In Our Accounts

    It would be nice to be able to print or export a list of servers and applications in our accounts. Accounting would like to see what the Cloudways invoices are for. I am now having to keep a separate list of servers and applications in order to answer those questions. Of course, I can see the information I need in our console but there's no way to print or export the list.

  7. Adding subdomains pointing to the existing directories in application or external site

    I was surprised to know that that you cannot add a subdomain and point to your existing directories. even pointing to other domains.This features was there in cpanel from beginning and it is quite useful. Especially this features helps to server make the site much more faster in magento by making subdomains for stating content like media, js etc and configure in magento application. I had this setup in my earlier hosting making the site to load ~1 sec. I have moved the site to cloudways now it loads ~4 seconds

  8. Update application Layout

    Update the application list to cards or smaller, I can only see 5 apps before the fold on my screen, would be better to have a grid of apps.

  9. Add tmux to terminal

    Would be nice to have a tmux sessions to use one connection to a server. This will become more popular when you add the load balancing some of infrastructures may hide child nodes from internet, but use the internal network instead

  10. Allow arrow key navigation from console search

  11. The ability to set up client hosting accounts directly from within our own account.

    The ability to set up client hosting accounts directly from within our own account and have them linked to have direct access without having to log out, log into the other account, set up migrations, etc

    This would save the 2 week free trial that my clients don't need. They are only using you because I am suggesting/making them so they don't need anything free. You make more money and it makes our life easier and saves us time.

  12. Allow a team member to have SFTP access to multiple applications without requiring to create multiple SFTP accounts

    Would like an easy way for the account owner to create SFTP/SSH account (login/password) creation for team members and then assign those accounts to various servers/applications.

    Account owner should be able to delete/disable/suspend account, but the team members don't need to setup or activate their own account.

  13. Hide server details from Team Members with limited application access

    When I give limited access to team members the first console screen after they login it shows the server details - server type, disk, etc.

    I want to give application access to my clients but I don't want them seeing the level of server I have them on. It would be better to either not show the server details or go straight into the application dashboard.

  15. Force git pull deploys

    Be able to force a git pull deploy. When you try to deploy a significant change in the app code you get merge errors, that could be avoided if the pulls were forced.

  16. Make a system to schedule server size changes by time and date.

    We increase our server size from small to medium for class times when our students take Moodle quizzes, then we have to reset the server to small for off-peak times. It's a real hassle to do this manually four times per week, so if we could schedule server size changes in advance this would be a big help. I'm sure that many other users would also appreciate being able schedule server size changes for peak usage times.

  17. Improved mysql manager with search and replace functionality

    The current administrator is fast and lightweight but it needs a little more functionality. For example it would be nice to have a "search" option within a table and once you get the result set to have the option to modify, delete, etc. Currently if you want to modify the record 10.000 in a table you have to display up to that record and then you get the option to modify it. If you do a query to list only your record 10.000 there is no option to modify it. Yes, it can all be done with queries... but that…

  18. Be able to name backups

    It is good to be able to name backups like wpengine hosting does. here in cloudways backups are named by creation date but I think it is good to name backups manually.

  20. Password protecting apps from console (via htpasswd)

    I want to get this option in console to password protect my apps which can be done via creating htpasswd on the server. Will reduce the hassle :)
