  5. Add a "staging" label to results in the application search

    When searching for an application using the search bar in the top right, the results are shown in a drop down as you type. The suggestion is to include if the application is a staging site in this drop down. Elsewhere there is a "staging" label which sits alongside the title of the application. This could be a useful indication here.

    We include it in the name of the application but there is limited characters allowed here which makes this inappropriate for status indicators like this.

  6. Whitelist for password protection of staging sites

    Let's have a whitelist feature to let selected outside services bypass the password for the staging site. Often we use the staging site to measure the site performance after changes have been made, or to integrate with external services. While the password protection for staging sites makes sense in a lot of cases, there are outside services (e.g. gtmetrix) that we need to access it.

  7. Set up redirect for Cloudways app URL to mapped domain

    Many WP plugins and services (including license API's) get the Cloudways app url instead of the mapped domain name (something like: wordpress-6XXXX4-22XXXX9.cloudwaysapps.com). This includes New Relic monitoring (see suggestion: https://cloudways.uservoice.com/forums/203824-service-improvement/suggestions/42059503-use-cloudways-app-name-instead-of-app-url-in-new-r)

    This makes it hard for agencies with many sites to know which sites are being monitored or licensed. Is there a way that you could automatically set up a redirect of the CW URL to the mapped domain as a part of the domain mapping process? At least then we could click on the CW url and get to the correct site...

  8. add password protection to main applications, not just staging.

    This really should be standard. Password protection plugins are unreliable, even with exceptions for their cookies. Then the htaccess method of password protection has proven to be a major hassle, and in my case, continues to give me internal server errors. My workaround was to create staging applications for any dev sites and completely disable the main application. However, this should be totally unnecessary. Given we sometimes have to develop a site on the default Cloudways URL because the live site is elsewhere, this password protection thing should really be a basic feature.

  12. Allow cloning an app onto an existing app

    If the app is a website, that would preserve the SSH keys for ftp and git connections.

  13. during git clone whole team not able to use cloudways

    Cloudways architecture looks build for one personly not for team. I have a team using 10 plus, we are using cloudways, but whenever try to take a pull on his project, the whole sever GUI stops working, and everyone has to wait until the git clone/pull is not done.

    Please change it, if someone doing something his application it shouldn't effect other applications.

  16. Separate manual backups from automatic (persistent) + ability to rename

    Hi,

    You should implement backups the same way some of the best web hosting providers do:

    1) Separate manual backups from the automated ones.
    1.1) Manual backups should be "persistents" so they don't just disappear as the automated backups go on. Hence, the separate list only containing manual backups.

    To avoid abuses, you can limit to 5 or even 3 maximum "spots" of manual backups at the same time. That way, we are forced to delete some to make further manual backups, so that we never exceed the limit of manual backups spots.

      1.2) You could, as well, allow us

  17. 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.

  18. SSL should follow the Domain, not the App

    Problem: Currently, a Let's Encrypt SSL is tied to a single CloudWays App, so there are delays in dropping and re-applying for an SSL when bringing an App into production on another domain.

    CW Tech Support could not suggest a smoother way to bring an App into production, which makes CW a bad option for active sites. I'm inclined to run my own server where I can atomically move a symlink to go live or various other ways of smoothly transitioning from dev to production.

    Solution: SSLs should be tied to their corresponding Domains, not a single App. This would:

  19. 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.
