  2. Create a Support Access plugin to provide access token for support agents

    Create a plugin that allows a client (us) to generate an access token to provide to a support agent (you) to provide access for troubleshooting support seamlessly. This would avoid me having to create an unnecessary admin account on an install.

    I've had this functionality from companies as small as theme developers. It makes for a much better customer experience.

  3. Mention Green Hosting on Cloudways website

    You could mention on your site, when choosing the provider, which of them are offering "green hosting". I.e. use wind/solar/water powered data centers, and adopt other green practices. Especially given that you are one of the rare that I could find, that allowed me to select Google Servers, who have 100% sustainable energy (and not wood burning either) on their servers.

    Maybe it would also help the non-technical people to have some of the terms (when creating the server and launching it) translated to more "human-readable" -format. I could imagine some environmentally conscious people would be then choosing your service…

  4. Update Git

    Cloudways is still running Git 2.1.4 released on 18-Dec-2014. A handful of really neat features have been added to Git since then. One new feature that would be very helpful to have on Cloudways servers is the updateInstead option for the receive.denyCurrentBranch config added in Git 2.3, which allows pushing directly to the server even if the branch is checked out on the server. This would eliminate the need to set up a repository on an intermediary server. Users could just add their Cloudways server as a remote in their local git repository and push directly from there to the…

  5. Connect your chat system with your support ticket system

    1. Chat doesn't have a timestamps, please add this. I've often been waiting online for a while and I'd like to know how long I've been sitting there.

    2. Provide ability to leave chat and have staff open ticket for you.

    I've been on chat before while the server was being checked out for almost an hour. I had to leave for an appointment. I asked if they could reply back to me in a ticket and they said to just stay on chat. I told them I had to go and they said to just leave the page open. When I…

  6. Improved monitoring and alerts

    The cloudways bot hasn't detected the two times that I've had issues on my server. A few days ago CPU was high and maxing out, sites were not loading and I had to notice this while on the site and open a chat to get it resolved. A couple weeks ago, the entire server was down from 3am to 10am - everything had completely locked up, no warning email.

    In addition, I don't think you can call yourselves "Managed" if you don't get the alerts on your end and check the servers. If I have to log in to see…

  7. Real Time Back Ups (Pull Method) for Wordpress

    I'm looking to run Woocommerce.. and with it's custom tables Woocommerce uses, a real time back ups is a must.

    Right now Cloudways only offers "regular" back ups.. these are triggered on time intervals..

    I would like if you could also offer "Real Time" back ups..

    meaning.. back ups of any new event that happens on live site (for example in WP .. Woocommerce uses it's one tables to track events lik new customer sign ups , payments etc.)

    Right now only BlogVault seems to offer this (https://blogvault.net/realtime-backup-for-woocommerce-sites-done-well/)

  8. Free Email or at least Email Forwarding

    Not all clients need or want email accounts, especially Rackspace which costs more. We need a "free" alternative like most hosts provide.

    Just to be able to forward emails without having to use the domain registrar would be very helpful.

    For example a client who pays me the absolute minimum for his one page promotion site won't want to pay for Rackspace email, he just needs a basic email or forwarder to fire emails over to his gmail or work email.

  11. Officially support running nodejs as an app user.

    I've chatted with support and they told me you must run NPM and nodejs as a master user. This requirement makes per-app security impossible.

  12. Disable CORS within Cloudways CDN when using WP Rocket

    I have talked extensively with WP Rocket and it seems that they use CORS within their plugin. However, Cloudways also has CORS enabled within its CDN service. This causes conflict on most sites and if a conflict occurs when both services are enabled, CORS needs to be disabled on the Cloudways CDN to fix the conflict. I purpose that you include this information within your WP Rocket tutorial: https://support.cloudways.com/how-to-configure-wp-rocket-plugin-wordpress/?utm_source=Platformkb&utm_medium=kbsearch

    Thanks

  13. Support for Amazon Lightsail

    New as of 11/30/2016, Lightsail provides much more competitive rates than normal AWS. Comparable to the DigitalOcean or Vultr plans currently offered by Cloudways.

  15. Choose PHP Version for every Application (not for Server)

    It should be possible to choose different php versions on a single server. This is possible in most shared hosting environments and is a big advantage.
    It is expensive to create a new server only because you need for example an old php version for a specific application which is not compatible.

  16. Laravel Artisan Commands

    It would be great if you could provide a GUI (buttons) for basic Laravel commands, such as:

    php artisan migrate
    php artisan migrate:refresh
    composer update
    php artisan optimize
    php artisan cache:clear

    These are such basic commands that need to be run at the root level of each project and if you could provide simple buttons it would avoid a trip to the built in browser ssh tool.

  19. Update cURL to a more recent version

    The version of cURL on my server is 7.38.0 which is 3 years old. Perhaps it's time to update?

    I can't point to a specific problem with that version or any features in newer versions that are needed, but it would preclude WP plugin authors from pointing to an outdated version of cURL when troubleshooting problems.
