Block Storage (Digital Ocean, Vultr) or Buckets (GCP) with an unlimited storage option.

Hi, on the Google Cloud Platform they have VM instances which you can get on Cloudways.
On Google Cloud Platform they also have Storage "Buckets" which are a far cheaper way to store lots of data. You can also store multiple Terabytes.
My suggestion is that Cloudways offers a "Buckets" storage option.

ie backup entire server before upgrading MySQL, so that restore of entire server is possible (inc older MySQL version) if something goes wrong with the upgrade. I understand this would be chargeable but it would save the stress levels for many a web dev

Hi,
Please allow to setup sphinx search on the server.

Would be handy to specify the timezone you would get in log files. For example apache logs are always in UTC and can be configured at the apache level.

Version 1.20 provides some very useful switches such as error only logging etc.

A solution with rsync, sql parallelism and a load balancer will be great.
It is important for some sites to have 0% downtime.

I have GeoIP country switcher on my woocommerce site.
But when I use with Varnish, it forces back to the country which the GeoIP detects instead of the one user wahts to change to. Once Varnish deactivated, country switcher works properly. First detection correct as well as manual change of the country possible.
This module should solve the issue.

You support high cpu instances for AWS and Google Cloud but not DigitalOcean.

Can you include support for choosing different instance types for DigitalOcean such as their high CPU Instance?

On "Server Monitoring --> Details" the timeframes of "2 Hours" and "6 Hours" should be added back. They're very usefull and missed.

It would be great to see a dedicated service (virtual dedicated, metal dedicated or otherwise) that support custom OS installations from ISO with temporary console access (or permanent console access won't hurt)

There was an infrastructure update that defaults files/directories to 720 permissions. Now FTP users no longer see any of the files or directories because of these permissions. Chat support's "solution" is to use the "reset permissions" function, which will then change the permissions of files and directories to 770.

First, why were the default permissions changed from 664/755, to 720? I've never seen this configuration before, so it seems odd to me.

Second, why is this a two step process for FTP users to gain access to the public_html directory? The default application permissions should MATCH the "reset permissions" permissions.

HTTP2/Push feature can improve performance greatly.
it is introduced with the newer nginx version https://www.nginx.com/blog/nginx-1-13-9-http2-server-push/.

Hi,
it will be great if there is app setting for max usage of server power. E.g. a can set, that this app can use max 50 % of server power.

add unmanaged servers for cheap price

MailHog is very handy if it comes to development. It catches every sent mails and shows them on a web interface.

It would be nice if one could enable/disable MailHog like other services for development purposes.

DesktopServer version 3.5.2 has a new direct deployment feature to get your WordPress websites from your desktop to your hosting provider in just a few clicks.

To do this Cloudways must support File System Direct.

File System Direct is a (PHP) feature that allows WordPress to write files to the local file system on the server. At the moment it does not so we can't use this feature in DesktopServer.

I think there should be possible besides generating CSR uploading own CSR and key for the SSL certificate. This would minimize time when migrating from some other server
