  2. Option to password protect application

    Hey, I can't believe I have to say it but this is kind of a basic feature of any hosting solution. This is a small but extremely essential feature so please add it to the console. We should be able to password protect an application on live and staging sites.

  3. Make it perfect

    Apologies, I am sure most or all of these have been suggested and I am suggesting a few at once here.

    • File manager

    • Ability to rename accounts. I am a developer and have 5 accounts and more soon that I am working on for different clients. In the drop down it shows their name, I should be able to rename it so I see the name of the client, not the name they signed up with which sometimes is not someone I know and am not sure which websites it is and need to click around to find the correct…

  4. Add Created Date to Single App Page

    Currently the created date only shows on the "Applications" page, which paginates apps in groups of 10. We've go over 150 apps, so when we need to find the created date we have to trawl through pages to find the correct app.

    So it would be super helpful to have the "Created Date" for an application within the details of a single app. As for where, maybe above/below the "Applications Management" title on the left hand side. Or below that menu? Or within one of the pages - e.g. Access Details.

    Should be super simple to add in wherever! Just…

  5. Under Staging Management- Speed up the process for "copy from Staging to Live". It is much too slow.

    It just needs to process all the data much faster than me dropping files into a directory. If I have one php file and I use this tool, it takes hours to update VS 1 minute for me to manually upload a new file. This feature is critical to our GIT environment.

  7. Find applications by domain name

    Currently it is difficult to find application associated with a domain name, specially if you are hosting a lot of applications and if each application has multiple domain names. You have visit domain management screen of each application to figure out which application is associated with which domain.

    It would be nice to search/filter the applications by the domain name.

  9. Add 'use lower case for domain address' to avoid issues with SSL installation

    This will avoid any issue with installing SSL certificates when the domain name is in uppercase anywhere in the console.

  10. Granular Management of Applications and Add-Ons Accessibility per user/team member.

    It would be really helpful if we can manage granular Application and Addon-on Access for each Application team member.

    Example #1
    I want my client to be able to get a Rackspace/Elastic Mail email account by themselves and the Add-on and the charge for the Add-on to be shown on my monthly bill.

    Example 2
    I want to be able to manage client's (team member's) access ONLY to certain features on "Application Settings" and hide others. Because I don't want them to be playing with PHP FPM Settings for example.

  11. Allow Team Members to create notifications on Cloudways Bot

    As a developer and affiliate, we run lots of client sites / servers. It would be great if we could create cloudways bot notifications with our accounts.

    It seems silly for only the master account to be able to do this. Especially, when a lot of clients (main account holders) are non-techies.

  13. HDPI graphics in the dashboard

    Small request, but please can you support high-resolution images/icons/logos for Macs and other modern screens.

    Love the product, but the blurry elements all over the place don't do it justice!

  16. Prenotification of scheduled maintenance

    When the server provider has scheduled maintenance planned, Cloudways should notify server admin (via cloudways bot & email?) that scheduled maintenance is planned, including timescales and servers affected.

    it is much more professional for us to let our clients know that downtime is likely rather than our clients to contact us complaining of application downtime.

  17. A new option to download all backups at once

    In order to keep the backups in my machine, I need to browse all applications and dowload the backup.tgz from there, one by one. But, what if I have many applications at the same server? Also, the folders name don't identify each application easily, so, it is a pain to download and rename each one.

    It would be great a button like "Download all your local backups".

    Thank you.

  18. ADD SEARCH BAR to toggle between different accounts (when there are a lot)

    As an agency that manages a lot of clients, our email is added as a team member on tons of accounts. With a lot of accounts, it's difficult to find the right one. There NEEDS to be a search bar to quickly toggle to the right account. Here's a quick screen recording of what I mean: https://www.loom.com/share/c3b7368e719d4212a6ca9b06d3370d2d

  19. Give us the ability to REQUEST a team member role in another account

    The ability to add a team member to an account is great, but it would be even better if we could request access to another account.

    That way, I wouldn't have to send my clients instructions on how to add me as a team member. Instead, I could just request access to their account, then they can approve or deny the request by clicking an email link, much in the same way the server migration between accounts works.

    GoDaddy has this in place with their 'delegated access' feature, I'd love to see Cloudways implement the same. It's a big time…
