Cannot clone a multisite (maybe single site too) on MariaDB10.3 or newer unless STRICT mode is disabled. However, this compromises security. Thus, every time I need to clone I must have you/Cloudways disable it and the re-enable it after I'm done. This is not ideal for either of us. Please add this to server setting settings & packages. Thanks.

Hi,

I want a feature so that I can update the PHP versions on all servers at once instead of having to manually upgrade each server by hand. It takes a tremendous amount of time since every PHP upgrade takes +5min to complete.

Laravel Octane supercharges your application's performance by serving your application using high-powered application servers, including Swoole and RoadRunner. Octane boots your application once, keeps it in memory, and then feeds it requests at supersonic speeds.

Please update ffmpeg version it's important please.

I'd like to have the abiity to implement the following headers on NginX and Apache so I can convince my clients they can pass Header Security Test in conjunction with PCI/DSS. The following are recommendations.

NginX Headers
addheader X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;
addheader X-Xss-Protection "1; mode=block" always;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;

Apache Headers
Header always set X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"
Header always set X-Xss-Protection "1; mode=block"
Header always set X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"

Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

Can you have an option to turn off offsite backups for the server? I love the function, it's just that we need the option to choose. Also this is not stated in the pricing section, so it is kind of misleading and unclear. It is like a hidden cost, which is not good for Cloudways reputation. You can check this on Reddit too, people think that having no option to turn off offsite backup is not good.

Currently, you support deployment via Github. But our projects are in AWS CodeCommit, not Github. We request you support AWS CodeCommit.

I am developing a WordPress plugin and need to test behaviour on different server settings (eg curl) in a live environment.

Would be helpful if:

• Users could control this without needing support from Cloudways team
• It were possible to toggle curl on a per-app basis (don't want to disable on all apps, just the one I'm testing).

*Otherwise please provide me a free dev server that stays within my total resource limits if it's only possible to disable/enable server-wide.

Provide the scaling back on DigitalOcean server without cloning. The scaling back should be as simple as scaling up.

save server configuration & power off servers to save money.

To be able to either - turn off as server and not get charged.
or
save a server configration, then remove the server. When spinning up a new server you can choose from the save configuration

For customers who dont want a full stack application server and want to use the server only as a webserver (using apache or nginx), it would be great if you can provide such an image as an option.
All the other services running on the server unecessarily consume server resources even if they are not being used.
Alternately, if you can grant the master credentials the ability to start and stop specific applications like mysql etc, via a custom script or via a setting in the console ui that would also work.

Can we please have the facility to add more than one IP address to whitelist at the same time.

allow creating sFTP account from the sub accounts (admin Privilege)
but I also suggest to be an option in the primary account so the main account can decide if he want to share it or not

I clicked the button and it just did it, and whammo, my site was down without a confirmation or warning. There really should be something there that allows someone to stop it if it's an accidental click, or they might want to arrange/schedule downtime...

I am Cloudways users for over 2 years now. As you see at https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/, there are options of $5, $10, two $15 plan(different CPU), $20, $40, $80 plans. It can be helpful for users who need more faster server 3v CPU instead of 2v can go for it.

And DO plans have been upgraded long back but savings hasn't been passed to customers in this regard. Please look into this.

In cPanel I can easily create forwarding rules for specific domains/subdomains, without having to work in .htaccess. Would be great if there is some interface for this in Cloudways too.

I really like to permit the connection to the particular website only for the assign country which the website is targeting its country. Although the site is in the local language like (https://londonlogodesigns.co.uk/) and there no other clauses to permit of other language or country asisdes from google bots.

Having no option but to use the latest version specially on the database side part, hopefully you will provide some migration guide or help for some lower or other version of SQL server. Like for example on our end, MariaDB is throwing Error 1349 wherein it is fully acceptable on MySQL 5.7.19. This is now becoming a major factor on us availing your service.

We need to be able to scale up our vultr HF server also in Europe.
Please add the option to scale up at least to 16GB

Would be nice to have to possibility to download locally also old backups
