Allow CW Signup with any email address (not only Gmail)
Currently, it's only possible to create a new account with either a Gmail address or a branded email address.
I strongly encourage you and suggest allowing any email addresses to create a Cloudways account.
Gmail → can't force a client to use Gmail
Branded email → if the branded email should be migrated to Cloudways (using Rackspace) then its not recommended to use this email address to manage the CW account itself.Workaround: Change email address after account creation. But this can be only done once. And it's again an annoying process for a client who needs to do that…

Mini server for each app instance
Hi, I've read somewhere in this forum that your architecture don't support multiple php versions. How about making another architecture that supports php versioning per app? It could be a mini server that caters only to single app.

Separate backup schemes for database to the ones of files
Since database backups are not incremental, there should be an option to be able to choose different backup durations and retention periods, from file backups.
For example, in my eshops I have hourly backup which is ok for files since it is incremental. But hourly full backups on the database can consume disk space for no reason.

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.

Suggestion regarding Breeze functionality
(A quick and important disclaimer: I'm not expert and the suggestions below are not based on any technical or professional test. There are based on few experiences gathered from using other WP caching plugins, and the way those plugins function)
I want to really commend CloudWays team for the recent Breeze WP plugin 2.0 update. AMAZING!
Switching from other speed plugins, including WP-Rocket, and installing the new update increased my site speed significantly; I was shocked! Great thumps up to you guys!
But I have a suggestion. I noticed that Redis cache get cleared completely when any page is updated,…

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…

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.

Offer a "Wipe All And Sync" Option for Live to Staging Transfer
Offer the ability to wipe all files and database entries, before pulling a fresh copy from live to staging.
Sometimes I need to redo our Sandbox environment.
Most of the time, there are various changes to the files and database.When I choose overwrite it won't wipe the remaining data.
If I delete the whole app and stage again, I have to redo SSL and other settings.
Please give a third option to the "Live > Staging" process.
- Overwrite
- Incremental
- Wipe and WriteThank you

Site Lock
Please add an option to lock site like Elementor Cloud.
"When Site Lock is enabled, website visitors will be blocked by a lock screen and will be required to enter a pin code to view the site. Websites with Site Lock enabled will not be discoverable by search engines."

Custom Name Server for Cloudflare Enterprise add-on
Cloudflare has a business level option to create custom name servers.
With so many enterprise options with the 'Cloudflare enterprise' add-on,
incuding the cname of secure.cloudways.cloudI would request custom name servers to be part of the offering.
It could be as simple as cloudways.ns.cloudflare.com
or as detailed as ns.mydomain.comThanks

ability to include certain files/folders on staging
much like the exclude button under staging management - it would be useful to select exactly what file you want to update for two reasons, one deployment would be speedier and less likely to cause any unexpected or unwanted updates

WordPress Security & Speed Like Rocket.net Hosting
Hi,
We want cloudways to improve their speed and security like Rocket.net. They have just launched one more best feature: https://rocket.net/features/wordpress-activity-logging/
With this admin can check Wordpress activity of users and it is best feature for security purpose. Not only that they are doing very best in terms of security and also in Speed.
Their speed is too fast, they have inbuild optimization settings including image optimization, caching and much more. If we migrate site to Rocket.net so by just migrating site their speed is too fast.
We request cloudways to check Rocket.net hosting and see their technology as how…

Add block storage integration to Wasabi and Backblaze
For those of us who have large websites with respect to images, it would be very helpful to have blockstorages in dedicated clouds for these purposes, even if this means an additional cost.
