Enable NewRelic application monitoring
Your server monitoring is useful, but it would be nice to be able to monitor specific applications. A way to auto-install the NewRelic client would be especially useful.

Backup Process Improvement
Hello Team,
As of now there's only one full backup / restore option (Server Management > Backups > Take Backup Now)
Can you please provide some option where the user can take backup as per their requirement, Sometime developer just want to take a backup of the database or hosting files not both all the time.
If you're providing some option where the user can take backup/restore accordingly as of now if we're taking full backup and restoring the full backup it's super time consuming for the bigger websites while they just want to take database backup.

Client Specific Billing - Allow us to charge clients for App monthly or anually
This feature is a must, I'm surprised it hasn't caught on any attention. I have a server with 25 applications each one for different clients. I have to keep a log of how much each client has to pay every month or year. If we could do this directly in Cloudways it would be great.
48 votesWe're excited to announce the release of Client Billing, allowing agencies and freelancers to invoice clients directly from Cloudways.

Cloudways please document your security practices
I would like to suggest that Cloudways publishes an article or other document that describes how Cloudways maintains, patches, updates servers and secures them.
The intent is not to disclose details that puts security at risk but instead demonstrates the value Cloudways is providing in the area of helping its customers maintain a secure server and application environment.
Information should include frequency of update / patch deployment, frequency of security scans for malware / unauthorized access, firewall ports and services that are open especially those for inbound traffic from the Internet, intrusion protection mechanisms, transparency reports for government information requests…

Upgrade Breeze Plugin To Clear Cloudflare CDN Cache (Cloudflare Enterprise Add-on)
Submitted after discussion with Cloudways Support
We'd like the Breeze Plugin feature to "Purge All Cache" to include the Cloudflare CDN if using the Cloudflare Enterprise Add-on, just like it does for the Breeze Cache and Varnish Cache.
We're submitting an official feature request for this since we'd want to:
1) Minimise time of having to log in to the Cloudways Dashboard to manually purge the Cloudflare CDN cache.
2) Ensure that when scheduled Wordpress content like new posts are published, they become automatically available to the public.
We hope you can make this improvement soon, as we're interested in…
42 votesWe are excited to announce that Smart Cache Purge and Edge Page Caching are now available on Cloudflare enterprise add- on with Cloudways.
