Integrated Backup Schedule with Multiple Time Zones
Currently, Cloudways allows users to schedule automatic backups, but the system only uses the server's local time zone. This can be confusing for global teams or developers managing servers in different regions.
I suggest adding an option to select the backup schedule based on the user’s preferred time zone, not just the server’s. This would make it easier to coordinate maintenance windows and ensure backups happen during off-peak hours for each project.
Benefits:
Better coordination for international teams.
Reduced risk of backups running during traffic spikes.
Improved clarity in backup timing (especially for agencies managing multiple clients).It would also…

Fully support Composer on WordPress applications
WordPress applications do not have full support for Composer.
We used a Composer-based stack https://roots.io/bedrock/ and https://roots.io/sage/ so this is critical for usage.
Examples:
1. We cannot runcomposer global configcommand because we do not have write access to ~/.config/composer. This is important so we can setup authentication for private Composer repositories
2. Runningcomposer installresults in errors unable to store in cache directory due to not having write permissionsError for #2
Cannot create cache directory /home/12345.cloudwaysapps.com/abcde6/.cache/composer/files/, or directory is not writable. Proceeding without cache. See also cache-read-only config if your filesystem is read-only.5 votes -

Activate the Elastic Email SMTP Add-on for each server rather than per account
At the moment, Elastic Email's SMTP email service can only be enabled at the account level. In my situation, though, I oversee more than fifty operational servers with a single account. Because of this, it is exceedingly challenging to keep track of how much each project's email consumption costs.
Instead of activating the SMTP add-on for the entire account, I would prefer to be able to do it for each server. I could then distribute email volumes according to the utilisation of each server. I could, for instance, enable 12,000 emails for Server Y and 50,000 for Server X. I…

Lightning Stack: Enable Better Support for htaccess dependent Plugins
Feature Request: Enable Nginx Rules File Management & Better Support for htaccess-dependent Plugins
As a professional web developer working with agencies and clients who rely on plugins that modify the htaccess file for security or functionality, I believe it is crucial for Cloudways’ Lightning stack to provide:
• The ability to directly manage or edit nginx rules files, especially since the Lightning stack does not support .htaccess modifications. • Enhanced compatibility or documented workflows for commonly used WordPress plugins that depend on htaccess rules.This feature would significantly facilitate deployment and security configurations for professional developers and agencies, ensuring robust…

Auto-login button
In the control panel of each application, there are credentials listed for the current app. It would be highly convenient if clicking the “Admin Panel” link could automatically log the user into the WordPress admin area using the credentials provided below. This feature would streamline access for administrators, save time, and improve the overall workflow by eliminating the need to manually enter login details each time.

Look Into DigitalOcean Premium Performance Issues
I had migrated to DigitalOcean Premium via Cloudways a number of months ago and experienced numerous periods of very noticeable site slowness where pages may have taken up to 10 seconds to load. I used to be on a Vultr HF server and never had this kind of issue, despite the fact that the Vultr server is farther away geographically.
I just migrated my applications back to Vultr HF and the slowness immediately went away. So, it's looking like DO was the problem.
I suggest you look into issues with the DigitalOcean service.

Making the Cloudways Dashboard More Intuitive and Pleasant to Use
I think the Cloudways dashboard could be made more user-friendly and visually appealing. Right now, some workflows feel a bit “click-heavy,” and the design—while functional—could be smoother and more modern. Here are a few ideas for improvement:
Dark Mode – Easier on the eyes, especially for those of us working late.
Customizable Dashboard – Let users pin their most-used tools and hide what they don’t need.
Streamlined Navigation – Fewer clicks to get to common tasks like restarting services or viewing logs.
Mobile-Friendly Layout – A responsive design that works well on phones and tablets without zooming and scrolling.
Faster…

Query AWS RDS from Digital Ocean
I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience querying an AWS RDS (specifically MySQL Geometry Vibes) from a Digital Ocean Droplet. I totally understand it would make much more sense to host both services on the same platform but in this scenario it is not going to be possible. We’ve already added the DO ip addresses to the approved list in AWS. All I want to do is query our RDS database from programs running in our DO Droplet. Has anyone run into this specific issue or know of any documentation that addresses this?

Data trapped in DigitalOcean managed service
Up until last week I would have said DO managed MySQL was awesome. We have a very large SaaS running on it (hundreds of millions of rows in total across tables geometry dash lite).
BUT then someone expressed interest in buying the SaaS, but they don't want to run on DO.Guess what? There is no way to get the data OUT of a DO managed mysql instance except for mysqldump. You cannot set a non-managed droplet to be a slave (or an offsite instance, like you can do with AWS). You also cannot run Percona tools because DO…

PHP 8.4 Upgrade
PHP 8.4 was released in November 2024 and I think it would be great to have PHP 8.4 rolled out as an option for CloudWays servers. Currently the max PHP version you can select is 8.3.

Optimizing WooCommerce Hosting for Mylar Bags Product Pages on Cloudways
Hey Cloudways Community,
I’ve been running a WooCommerce-based packaging store on Cloudways, and I’m currently looking to enhance performance for some high-traffic category pages—especially our Mylar Bags product page https://packagingforestllc.com/product-category/mylar-bags/.
We offer a wide selection of custom Mylar Bags, including options with resealable zippers, child-resistant features, matte/gloss finishes, and full-color printing. Many of our customers are in the food, cannabis, and supplement industries, so fast page loads and a smooth browsing experience are critical for conversions.
Since these pages include multiple high-res images, dynamic filtering, and customer personalization options, I'm looking for advice on:
Optimizing load speed without compromising…

Account level IP whitelist + improvements
You should add account level IP whitelist (and blacklist) so that we can add all of our third party services access without going into each server.
Other improvements that would be beneficial:
- Add a toggle to automatically whitelist Blogvault's migration servers.
- Add toggles for other popular services, for example WP Umbrella.
Thank you.
