improve time calculation for cloning operation
When cloning a Server the needed time is always about ~8min regardless of the Harddisk/Database Size, So today I waited for about 1 hour for the last minute of a cloning process.

Add "stdout" output to Supervisor job logs
Laravel jobs tend to offload queues using "Supervisor" jobs. Laravel's docs show how to pipe "stdout" output to a file for reading. Cloudways Supervisor logs will only write errors, so there's no way to access the Laravel queue processing logs.
Normally, this is set in the Supervisor job ".conf" file with setting "stdout_logfile=".
This should be an option so Laravel users can access the Laravel queue logs, or the current Cloudways Supervisor logs should have "stdout" in addition to errors.

Allow people to increase the number of inode available to them by using the disk space they should already have.
for the sake of example, currently I have access to a 160GB disk space server and i am only using 22 GB of it. i can't add more files because i seem to be out of inode space. Inodes are made from disk space being used as a table to map out other files. Why can't this table be increased using the space i already have access to so i can take advantage of all my disk space.

allow edits to nginx config
Sometimes edits need to be applied to nginx config such as:
location ~* .(doc|pdf|xml)$ {
add_header X-Robots-Tag "noindex, noarchive, nosnippet";
}This is not currently possible and there is no work around.
This means that google will index lots of files that it shouldn't and can cause many SEO problems.

A "Buckets" storage option
Davidtgill
Sep 6, 2:29 AM PKTHi, on the Google Cloud Platform they have VM instances which you can get on Cloudways.
On Google Cloud Platform they also have Storage "Buckets" which are a far cheaper way to store lots of data. You can also store multiple Terabytes.
My suggestion is that Cloudways offers a "Buckets" storage option.2 votes -
create a managed upgrade/downgrade solution for MySQL updates via server backup.
ie backup entire server before upgrading MySQL, so that restore of entire server is possible (inc older MySQL version) if something goes wrong with the upgrade. I understand this would be chargeable but it would save the stress levels for many a web dev

timezone to use in logfiles
Would be handy to specify the timezone you would get in log files. For example apache logs are always in UTC and can be configured at the apache level.

Switch to AWS t3a.small servers in place of the old t2.small servers for your $36.50/month Managed AWS packages
The t3a family of servers upgrade the old t2 family of servers. The t3a family is cheaper to run yet more powerful, so you'll save money and your clients will get an even better product.

Read only user for database
It would be nice to have a read only user for the database so that people that need to perform SELECT queries don't use the admin user to log in.

Show maintanance page while the server upgrade is in process
The server upgrade takes somewhere between 10-15 minutes and during the upgrade, visitors can't access the website. They see a 503 error.
I think Cloudways should show a maintenance page while the server upgrade is in the process.

Include a back-up estimate so we can tell what to expect on our bill. Have a bill est. that shows server cost(s) plus backups on each serve

Multiple webroots per single application
More advanced PHP applications can have multiple webroots accessed via different subdomains. For example, one is the public website for customers (www.mydomain.com) and another for the staff (accounts.mydomain.com).
For example, Cloudways is advertising support for Yii Framework (https://www.cloudways.com/en/yii-hosting.php). This framework implements the mentioned architecture in the following way:
There are "frontend" and "backend" modules in the application directory and each of them has a separate webroot. The configuration could look like this:
www.mydomain.com -> /path/to/yii-application/frontend/web/
accounts.mydomain.com -> /path/to/yii-application/backend/web/This could be even configured on a basic cPanel hosting. I have already asked on the support…

Preserving IP address when cloning server - making scaling down hassle-free
Scaling up is easy.
Scaling down (with Vultr, DigitalOcean or Linode) requires to clone a server.
When cloning, server gets new IP address - this causes a lot of hassle with application integration or DNS configuration.
SUGGESTION:
It would be great to make scaling down hassle-free, so that after cloning server could have the same IP as previous server.6 votes
