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.

Allow exceptions to "Direct PHP files access"
I'd find it really useful to be able to add exceptions to this rule by specifying specific URLs you want to allow direct access for. For example AJAX calls to PHP it might be necessary to have.

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.

Improve staging environment for websites that use Woocommerce + Elementor
Paraphrasing an idea put forward for Magento sites...
The staging area is useless for us at the moment as our users constantly post and sell products, so by the time we have finished work on the staging site updating pages there have been new products added, products sold and so on...this means we cannot merge the staging site with live as it overwrites the orders and products in the database.An option to exclude data specific to users, products, sales, etc, would be most welcome, so that we could push page layout and interface developments without affecting other content of…

Monitoring info at scale
Hello!
https://fluid.services/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/stats1.jpg
It would be nice if some of these stats could be displayed
https://fluid.services/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/stats3.jpg
in this area when looking at all servers
i have a bunch of servers now and it would just make my life easier to see some of that info at scale
and I'd be more likely to upgrade something (more money for you guys) if I can see it all in a list like that
that's it! Just wanted to pass it along as something to consider down the line! I'd consider it a quality of life improvement for customers with multiple servers :)6 votes -

UI for Excluding Images from Nginx vhost to Support webp .htaccess redirect rules
When using a WordPress plugin like WebP Express (https://wordpress.org/plugins/webp-express/) or ewww.io, they are using an htaccess rule to redirect browsers that support webp images to the corresponding webp image files. This however does not work out of the box on Cloudways due to Cloudways' Nginx vhost.
Currently, I need to contact Cloudways for each application I want to add support for webp images to exclude images from the Nginx vhost. After that, the htaccess rules work correctly. This is also described by ewww: https://docs.ewww.io/article/16-ewww-io-and-webp-images
Can you please give us control of excluding images from the Nginx vhost ourselves?…

Breez cache plugin - Feature to clear a specific page
This is about the "Breeze" cache plugin for Wordpress, which is by the way amazing!
There is just one thing that is really annoying, that most of other cache plugin do. There is no option to purge the cache only for a specific page. With other cache plugin, it's possible to do it from the Wordpress bar at the top of the page and that's great to force refreshing a page for users, without having to delete the whole cache, thus slowing down the whole website for users during some time.
Thank you for the great work and best regards,…

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?

Kamatera is a cloud provider with low prices and flexible server configuration.
Please add servers from https://www.kamatera.com.
They have a very flexible configuration of the server configuration and not big prices.
I worked on their servers before I moved to Cloudways, I just got tired of doing administration, so I came to you.But otherwise, everything is at a high level.

Breeze Plugin not compatible with Wordfence
From Wordfence:
We tested this issue using the Breeze plugin and found two problems.This affects Wordfence’s two-factor authentication, if one or more users has set up two-factor authentication, and the reCAPTCHA feature, so using either or both of those features would be broken by Breeze modifying our script tags.
In Breeze’s “Advanced Options”, under “Delay JS inline scripts”, you can remove the line that says “nonce” to avoid having our script deferred.
You will also need to turn off the “JS” option under “Minifcation” in Breeze’s settings. We don’t know why they are modifying our script tag when minification…
2 votesHello
We have replicated the case after enabling the Delay JS Inline, JS Minification, and login with 2FA.
Breeze does not affect the 2FA process. There is no console error by enabling the Breeze settings with JS minification which may cause the break of script tags.
Here is the video link. Please have a look
If the issue is still occurring we request you to kindly create a support ticket and provide us a video with replication steps our team will look into the issue.
Best Regards,

allow image pasting in your Intercom system
Cloudways uses a support chat system called Intercom. Many companies use it.
When I have support issues with other companies and need to show a picture, I can just copy an image from my screen and paste in the Intercom chat.
But for some reason, your Intercom is set in a way that prevents me from easily pasting images. It is very challenging to get the images to you - many extra steps.
I'm going to be with you guys for a long time. It would be nice for your Intercom to be set up to allow easy image pasting…

Security
Hi there,
I recently learned about the login lock feature at BigScoots.
The Login Lock feature allows for an extra layer of login security on the WP admin dashboard. You can read more about it at the link below:
https://blog.bigscoots.com/wordpress-optimized-portal-wpo/#admin-security-lock
Will Cloudways be releasing something similar soon? It would be great to have an extra layer of login security available for our sites.
