  1. Transfer Billing To Another Account (With Affiliate Commission)

    It would be great, especially for freelancers and agencies, to be able to create a new server with an application and then transfer the server to another account for billing. (Just like Flywheel does.)

    I am aware of this feature https://support.cloudways.com/how-to-transfer-server-to-another-account/ but I don't believe the affiliate commission is gained from such transfer. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Another great feature that would go well with this one is to setup test/demo sites for clients at no charge: http://feedback.cloudways.com/forums/203824-service-improvement/suggestions/17827789-providing-a-test-server

  3. Discourse as Application

    It would be nice if you could use discourse(which is open source) since it would help people that want to make a big forum site it also been mentioned in a old post already http://feedback.cloudways.com/forums/203824-service-improvement/suggestions/7405198-discourse

  4. Compact view of applications list

    At the moment, if you have a long list of applications, it is really difficult to work with that page. Add a toggle button for a compact view where we have a table instead, so more applications fit on the screen

  7. Easy Google G Suite Integration (as SMTP gateway)

    Being able to easily integrate G Suite (Google Apps) would be great. We have all of our email setup through G Suite and it is a popular email service. Like the SMTP add-on, but for G Suite.

    This goes hand and hand with being able to access the DNS add-on directly.

    I don't mind paying extra, but the way things are setup is really confusing.

  8. Direct Access to DNS Integration

    Having direct access to the DNS add-on would have made things a lot easier. There are many different DNS setups that make it difficult to know exactly what is needed to add and or remove things. And via ticketing​ service makes it really difficult and confusing.

  9. PHP-FPM Pool Process Manager (pm) Settings

    Being able to set these in the Settings & Packages section would be great.

    pm.maxchildren = # The hard-limit total number of processes allowed
    pm.start
    servers = # When php-fpm starts, have this many processes waiting for requests
    pm.minspareservers = # Number spare processes php-fpm will create
    pm.maxspareservers = # Max number of spare (waiting for connections) processes allowed to be created
    pm.processidletimeout = #

  10. WP-CLI commands when creating an application

    Would it possible when creating a wordpress application using the CloudWays API that you can specify some WP-CLI commands that run after creation so you can install plugins and set other options with an API call? This saves having to SSH into the new application.

  11. Add more locations

    Please offer all the locations, and not just a select group, for each of your providers. For example, I -- and my customers -- are in Texas, so the Vultr datacenter in Dallas would make a great deal of sense; but you don't offer it. Similar limitations exist for your other providers. If they have a location, please offer it, too.

  12. 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.

  13. Let me backup to my own storage

    Cloudways is shaping up as a potentially good option for me however I need to be able to backup to my own storage in the event something goes wrong with Cloudways.

    It would be ideal to choose between Cloudways own backup option and my own using S3/Google nearline etc.

  14. Make pricing more transparent (and understandable)

    I'm not asking you to be the cheapest but make it clear how your pricing works. My specific issue is with the way Google Cloud instances are marked up. The highlighted instance has what seems a reasonable 30% margin whereas a larger instance ends up 255% more expensive than Google Cloud itself.

    Server Pilot (i know, not quite the same) have a fixed $ fee per server you maintain with them. This makes sense as if you were pricing based on 'effort', there's no additional effort for you should I choose to use a higher spec'd VM.

  15. Provide "strace" utility.

    This unix utility ("strace" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strace) is of great help, in finding out, what an apparently hung process is doing. It is required for master users, to do self-administration of their servers/processes.

  16. Give PROCESS access to the DB for performance monitoring

    Having PROCESS access to the Database will allow for us to use monitoring tools so that we can better determine what tuning needs to be done on the DB server would be extremely helpful.

  17. Security Log for Team Members

    I would love to see some form of a actions/security log which is stores X amount of entries per month.

    What Security/Actions Log?

    Ability to track who has logged in from where.
    Which Team Member has moved, created, deleted applications.
    Which Team Member has changed a setting within Servers/Applictions.

    Any other detailed information.

    Here is an example that PHPBB uses, or Wordpress Security Audit which has similar functions as to what im suggesting.

    Ability to export the log via csv would be great too. This would keep your DB less cluttered as you would purge the entries every…

  18. Update application Layout

    Update the application list to cards or smaller, I can only see 5 apps before the fold on my screen, would be better to have a grid of apps.

After long research i got to know that some code has been uploaded to function.php file. I haven't reseted file permission so its some server security lack that such code was uploaded. Now i want to scan file to check that no more infacted files…
