Let us specify the root for a new SFTP account
This is such a basic feature that exists on any cPanel hosting plan. Simply allow us to set the root folder for a new SFTP accounts for an application.
I have software that automatically uploads to the SFTP but the upload fails because your default root (applcations/(appname) is not writable. Simply add a field to let us specify where the root for he new SFTP we just created will be (i.e. applications/(appname)/public_html/newfolder
I cannot stress enough how useful this will be for us developers and will make the CloudWays experience more robust and scalable.

Add ablility to bulk whitelist IP's in Bot protection
Please add a way to import whitelist IPs from a list(or copy/paste) for "Bot Protection" as now going through the blocked IPs and comparing IPs and whitelisting one by one is hardly an option. Also there are legitimate optimization services that we use that get blocked(like https://nitropack.io for example) and they 10s of IPs so bulk whitelisting is much needed indeed.
Thank you, guys/gals and I hope this will be implemented sooner.

Allow "global" or account-level SSH keys, which are automatically added to every server
Currently, we have to manage SSH keys individually for every server. It would be awesome to be able to add global SSH keys, and then when a new server is created, those SSH keys are automatically installed on every server.
Additionally, it would be nice if when we added a account-level SSH key, it was added to all existing servers.

Direct access to Rackspace control panel
It would be neat to add the possibility to directly access the Rackspace control panel where we can:
- add/remove/edit email addresses
- add DKIM records
- change the webmail login url
- add webmail Company logo
- and other things Rackspace offer to their direct customers38 votes -
Direct login to WP dashboard from admin planel URL without password
This is a very handy function i see WP Engine has and it makes it super easy to just login to each site without the need to save passwords in the browser or add them manually. Do you think this would be an option to implement in the future?

Provide an SSL badge for Cloudways users to display on their sites. Most SSL companies provide an HTML Coded badge for website users to see.
Provide an SSL badge for Cloudways users to display on their sites. Most SSL companies provide an HTML Coded badge for website users to click on which then opens a security check popup that shows that the site is, in fact, secure at the very moment of use. It's reassuring for users, especially on an e-commerce site, to know they are protected.

PHP-FPM Log buffer length limit issue needs resolving
There is an issue on servers configured by Cloudways, in which the PHP-FPM log buffer (error msg length) is set to 1028 bytes. This is too short for many errors messages generated by Wordpress.
It results in many entries of:
"Message":"AH01071: Got error 'the log buffer is full (1024). The access log request has been truncated.'"In the PHP error logs views in Application Manager. So rather than seeing the actual error, you end up just seeing this message. Which is, obviously, very unhelpful.
Apparently it's due to the setting of
log_limit
setting in PHP-FPM, complied with Nginx.

email or sms when your server goes over limit
When an application goes over its allocated limit of CPU/RAM/SDD, an email or text message could be sent to the owner to alert them of the situation. The message could include the details of log files of the offending application or problem so the owner can quickly resolve the problem.

Redirect after login
We often will hand team members urls to our servers or applications in cloudways, eg: https://platform.cloudways.com/server/999999/access_detail
If they're not logged in (which is likely due to the short logout-timeout), they have to log in, which brings them to the main page for the account, rather than redirecting to the url they originally went to...The workflow should be like other sites, eg:
- go to https://platform.cloudways.com/server/99999/accessdetail
- site redirects you to the login panel
- after successfully logging in, it redirects you back to https://platform.cloudways.com/server/9999/accessdetail2 votes -
should implement an in-house ftp, or file manager.
I suggest you should implement an in-house ftp, or file manager.
In the console we should have a file manager, so we shouldn't have to use clients (like Filezilla) for fpt.

Please add an extra configuration layer for varnish
Please add an additional configuration layer for varnish to give the ability to the user to decide whether to service from varnish cache or the webserver depending on the values stated in the HTTP request header. This can be done with the W3TotalCache plugin (cookie-based caching - maintains separate caches for cookies)
For i.e. If the website is accessed by a mobile device (can be determined by the request header), serve from the mobile cache. If not, serve it from a different cache, etc.
This is very important if the website is specially optimized for mobiles compared to its counter…
