  1. Enable Cloudways Migrator to include migration from local host (PC) etc

    The CW migration plugin won't allow migration from local host. I understand Cloudways is used for production purposes but some people still like to develop on localhost PC etc. It would be advantageous if this restriction was fixed.

  2. Configure Cloudways Magento Stack to point to corret tmp folder

    After installation, magento tmp folder is not configured, so it's use /tmp by default. It's cause problems with magento store cloned in the same server.

    You need to configure the file lib/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php, in the line who says

    protected $options = array(
    'cache
    dir' => null

    to

    protected $options = array(
    'cache
    dir' => '../tmp'

  3. Enable Encrypted RDS MySQL Database

    Enabling Encrypted MySQL Database on Amazon AWS would enable encryption at rest and improve security.

    This would be a truly unique offering (trust me, I have been researching this for days), one that I can't believe isn't more requested or offered given the hacks and breaches we have seen over the last few years.

  4. subdomain configuration without auto adding 'www' into the database for Home URL and site URL

    subdomain configuration/assignment to an application without auto adding 'www' into the database for Home URL and site URL (in the option table). When we configure a dubdomain for an application, ex : sub.mysite.com, it writes 'www.sub.mysite.com' into the siteurl field and home filed into the Database.

  5. Percona DB (for performance)

    Percona DB would be a nice addition to the packages available on Cloudways (if you care about performance).

    What You Need to Know About the MariaDB & Percona Forks of MySQL
    https://blog.appdynamics.com/database/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-mariadb-percona-forks-of-mysql/

    TL,DR summary: MariaDB is better for advanced features, the latest security and adapting to new tech. Percona excels at database performance and diagnostics. Either one will put you in good company with cutting edge technology firms around the world.

  6. Make Cloudways RESTful Api Discoverable

    It would be awesome if cloudways' RESTful API was discoverable. That way I wouldn't have to manually update my code when the api changes. I could also pull the api info in and constructed the functions needed to use the API with out having to hardcode anything.

  7. Add tmux to terminal

    Would be nice to have a tmux sessions to use one connection to a server. This will become more popular when you add the load balancing some of infrastructures may hide child nodes from internet, but use the internal network instead

  9. Penetration Testing Form

    Amazon AWS has a form to let them know you want to do penetration testing: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/penetration-testing/

    There should be a process at the cloudways level to facilitate this communication between the infrastructure providers and your end user/customers.

  10. Exclude HTML from Nginx static cache

    Currently HTML is included in the static cache of nginx.
    This results in pushing an expires 30 days header on html content request and ignoring htaccess directives.

    This is particulary dangerous, since there is no way to purge that cache unless the expiration on nginx is set to 0 for all assets.

  13. Implement custom caching plugin (solution) by Cloudways

    I think cloudways should come out with their own caching plugin (solution). In my case, it's specific to WP.

    The reason being, caching solution works differently from host to host, and is not one solution fits all. And plugins from time to time come out with new versions that may break lots of things, and a ton more reasons.

    As cloudways implement lots of custom stack and caching, they should also use and release updates pertaining to their install.

    Unless you have a better way, at least when a new version is released, and cloudways has already tested the version…

  15. The ability to set up client hosting accounts directly from within our own account.

    The ability to set up client hosting accounts directly from within our own account and have them linked to have direct access without having to log out, log into the other account, set up migrations, etc

    This would save the 2 week free trial that my clients don't need. They are only using you because I am suggesting/making them so they don't need anything free. You make more money and it makes our life easier and saves us time.

  18. Allow changing Varnish config file (VCL) after application setup

    A dropdown with options next to the "Varnish Toggle" button allowing us to choose which VCL is configured with this application would allow us flexibility to change our stack without having to create a whole new application and reconfigure ours.

  20. install server applications from repositories

    The whole root thing drives me crazy - but i hear your reasoning. Need root to install various packages. why not let users install packages from set list of repositories ? you can always block certain ones.
