  1. Option to run apache as www-data

    It would be good if there was an option not to run Apache as the same user as SSH / file owner. That way it would be possible to make files & folders read-only as far as the server / PHP is concerned.

    Thanks for the feedback Prem. Our stack in fact performs already as well:
    https://www.blitz.io/report/347ee04b5042e17b666768d678575aab

    This is a wordpress test on our base stack (nginx → varnish → apache → mysql 5.5 ) with php 5.5. and you can see we compete.

    We understand though that HHVM could be preferable on certain situations and we are working on it. You can follow here:
    http://feedback.cloudways.com/forums/203824-service-improvement/suggestions/5945282-support-applications-on-hiphop-php-hhvm

    On the packages tab of Server Settings & Packages section you can play with additional packages that can speed up your specific setup (mariadb, mysql server 5.6, newer versions of PHP). We plan to add HHVM there.

  3. Option to install older versions of Moodle

    You offer one-click install only for Moodle 2.9.1
    However some of the software I use are compatible with version up to 2.8. Wish you could give us the option to install earlier versions too.

    You can override our base Moodle deployment (latest version) with any prior version you want to use. We advice always using latest release for security reason, but there is nothing stopping you to overwrite application public_html folder with the version you want.

  4. Screenconnect

    I run my own IT business and I use a piece of software called ScreenConnect. Its a self hosted solution which works great.

    https://www.screenconnect.com/

    It would be great if you could add support for this as I know many other IT techs who would use it

    Unluckily we can’t support as many applications as we would as maintaining applications is a costly process.

    In any case, if this is a php based app you should be able to deploy it under the PHP app.

    We made long ago the decision to use adminer against phpmyadmin. This is not going to change in the short term.

  7. Fix your cronjobs "Click&Go" Implementation

    I've been trying to set cronjobs for months, but not from the "Click&Go" nor from the console I've been able to do so. The customer service assistants take me back and forth from one method to the other, (possibly) avoiding to deal with this issue directly.

    What we are going to do shortly is to allow customers to change the password(s) and set what they want, hthat will satisfy everyone (people that think too complex and people that think too easy).

  12. Solution for digital ocean IP changing on scaling

    I understand that the root of this problem is on the end of your provider. But it would be great if some sort of solution to this could be found. Even something like Cloudways keeping a copy of the server at its current IP until dns has changed over or something.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    For multi-tier setups, we are planning to come up with a different (and cloud agnostic) solution later this year.

    We don’t want to be tied to an specific provider infrastructure (like RDS) for multi-tier / cluster like deployments.

    We are already working on a multi-tier, cluster like and cloud agnostic solution based on containers.

  18. To add Nexcess_Turpentine as the Magento <-> Varnish integration

    The current extension by Phoenix is outdated and does not support either the latest version of Mage CE that comes with your installer nor hole punching via ESI.

    We will stick to Phoenix Page Cache by now that is working quite well and we have recently integrated with 1.9.
