Integrating Background Music Streaming in Dashboard: Suggestion + Use Case with Black Hole Music APK”
Hello Cloudways Team & Community,
I’d love to propose an enhancement to the Cloudways user experience: adding a lightweight music streaming widget or background music support inside the dashboard (e.g., a small “play/pause” bar).
Here’s a real-world use case: Many developers, sysadmins, and content creators like to work while listening to music. An integration (or support) for apps like Black Hole Music APK (https://blackhole-apk.net/) — an open-source, ad-free, high-quality music streaming app — would let users stream or control background music without leaving the platform UI.
Key benefits:
Improved focus and productivity (users don’t need to switch windows/tabs)

Cloudflare Caching Issue on My Webtoon Website
Hello, I’m running a webtoon-related website https://newtoki.com.co/ and using Cloudflare as a CDN through Cloudways. Recently, I’ve noticed a recurring issue where some images (mostly webtoon panels) are not updating properly after I upload or replace them. Instead of showing the updated files, Cloudflare keeps serving the cached versions for hours, even after I purge the cache.
This becomes a problem since webtoon content needs to be refreshed quickly for readers, and delays cause complaints from users. I’ve tried enabling “Development Mode” in Cloudflare and also purging at both the Cloudflare and Cloudways levels, but the issue keeps coming back.

Cloudflare Caching Issue Causing Outdated Pages on My Service Website
I’m running a home appliance service website related to Cooking Range Repair Dubai and general appliance repair in Dubai. The site is: https://fixappliancedubai.com/ and overall everything works fine, but I’ve been facing a recurring issue with Cloudflare caching while using Cloudways.
So the problem is that Cloudflare keeps serving old cached versions of some pages, even after I update the content or change the layout. I’ve tried purging cache from both Cloudflare and Cloudways, but still many users report seeing outdated pages or broken layouts. In some cases, the images or new text updates only show after many hours, which…

Set Elastic email to at least a server level, no account level.
I have 7 servers in my agency account - a problem with one impacts all of them. This has happened recently where a bot attack on one site consumed the email allowance and this meant that no sites could send emails. This is a very bad outcome. The optimum would be to have a limit per application - not per account or peer server.
I have some high traffic sites that are either ecommerce or leads driven businesses - if their emails fail they lose business.2 votes -
Visual Deployment Tutorials
Offer a way to attach short, guided video tutorials for server setup and deployment steps. Users could quickly follow along instead of reading lengthy documentation. Preparing these tutorial clips can be streamlined using https://www.livelink.ai/es/video-editor-features/ai-clip-maker to extract only the key parts from longer recordings.

Quick Video Snippets for Support Tickets
Add a built-in feature that allows users to record and attach short video clips directly to support tickets. This would help Cloudways support agents understand issues faster and reduce back-and-forth. For teams who want to prepare these clips ahead of time, tools like https://www.livelink.ai/create-clips can make it easy to trim and share relevant footage.

AI‑Powered Video Workflow Add-on for Cloudways
Hi everyone — curious if others here would find value in a video workflow add-on for Cloudways, powered by AI.
Here’s the idea: what if Cloudways offered a native add‑on that helps users generate, trim, and format short video clips directly from text or voice notes? For example, you could take a blog post or a script and turn it into short social videos or explainer clips, all from within the Cloudways dashboard.
Benefits could include:
Streamlining marketing workflows — no need to juggle between hosting and video tools
Reducing the cost of external video editing, especially for agencies or…

Feature Request: Allow Adding Subdomains as Independent Zones (to receive DNS Delegation)
The Problem
The DNS Made Easy add-on does not allow a subdomain (e.g., [sub-domain.apex-domain.gov.ph]) to be added as a standalone, manageable DNS zone.The system incorrectly requires that the apex domain ([apex-domain.gov.ph]) be added first. This is impossible for us, as our agency only controls its own subdomain, while the apex domain is managed by a separate central IT authority.
Our Use Case (Why this is a Blocker)
This limitation blocks a standard and secure practice for all federated organizations (governments, universities, corporations):Separate Management: Our central IT manages the apex domain ([apex-domain.gov.ph]) using their own provider (e.g., Cloudflare).

AI-Powered Video Management Add-On for Marketing Teams
Many Cloudways users create and share video content for marketing, tutorials, and client communications. A native add-on that integrates AI-powered video tools—like trimming, subtitles, and format optimization—directly within the Cloudways platform could save time and improve workflow efficiency. This would be particularly helpful for agencies managing multiple client websites and video content simultaneously.
More details and examples of such tools can be found at https://www.livelink.ai/tools/shorts-downloader
This idea ties into Cloudways’ hosting and management ecosystem while highlighting a practical add-on that appeals to their user base.1 vote -
Add Built-In Backup File Trimmer for Large Media Projects
When managing media-heavy websites, backups can get unnecessarily large due to unedited or outdated video files. It would be helpful if Cloudways included a feature to trim or manage stored media files directly within the platform. This would keep backups smaller and performance smoother, similar to how tools like https://www.livelink.ai/video-editor-features/video-trimmer simplify trimming and optimizing video content online.

Smart Add-on Marketplace Integration
It would be great if Cloudways could expand its Add-ons ecosystem by allowing developers to submit tools that enhance hosting, security, or site performance. For example, integrating AI-powered analytics or workflow automation tools could help users manage websites more efficiently. A reference for how AI add-ons can streamline operations can be seen at https://www.brickwiseai.com/

rackspace
When using the Rackspace add-on with scale, it becomes crucial that individual email customers can access their emails at a management level - for example, to change the passwords associated with any/all of their email addresses. Otherwise, as the list of emails grows, the ability to manage them all efficiently and effectively is lessened.
This management could potentially be implemented via the teams functions with this flow:
Teams > +add member > Console Access [flexible] > Limited Access > Add ons > Rackspace > Select Email Addresses

Add WordPress Subsite URL Management Tool to Staging Apps
I suggest that Cloudways make it easier to create a staging version of a multisite Wordpress app. The tool would let the user reassign / manage the URLs for the main site and all subsites in one spot instead of having to hunt around for all the settings, and permit using Cloudways URLs for those sites if desired (even if custom URLs are assigned to the production sites). Right now, to stage a WordPress multisite app, after creating the staging app you still have to:
- In the custom domain DNS of the staging app, create new custom URLs for the…

Post a sample wordpress set of Web Rules to replace the normal .htacess setup for switching to Lightening Stack. That would be very helpful for those of us who want to switch a bunch of sites over.

Add-on for Deploying Cryptocurrency Exchange Platforms Easily on Cloudways
Hello Cloudways team & community,
I believe there is an opportunity for Cloudways to offer a plug-and-play crypto exchange platform deployment add-on (or template) that integrates core modules like order-matching engine, multi-wallet support and liquidity connectors — thus helping fintech startups launch faster on Cloudways infrastructure.

Pre-configured server stack optimized for high-volume trading and multi-chain wallets.
Built-in templates for compliance workflows (KYC/AML) and wallet custody.
Auto-scaling architecture tuned for crypto exchange traffic patterns.
Clear documentation & best-practices for startups launching exchanges.
