At the moment we have Server level local backups. This is great however if we only have one application that needs backing up, it is quite wasteful on resources/diskspace/time to have to backup all the files on a server just to download a single application backup.

Could we perhaps have an option be able to take backups on application level - similar to the server level option? It then give us a zip with the files/database - simple!

Ion Cube Loader for PHP 7.4.
This will be greatly useful for all the users of the extremely popular wordpress theme (Flatsome). All these users will be able to benefit from faster speeds and greater security.
Thank you

Please enable Elasticsearch 7.6, because Magento 2.4 requires it and MySQL is no longer supported for search at all. This is a must to have or I have to transfer all Magento installations to another provider.

Cloudways should allow all users to be able to select their specific time zone instead of making them do maths of UTC to <your time zone> this really will help us identify easily our backups. Your internal server functioning may still stick to UTC but for displaying at-least let us see our own time zones.

Since updating Breeze, all my websites broke or had messed up CSS. I am using Divi, which is a popular Wordpress theme, but many features in the theme simply don't work (too many to mention). It would be nice to keep using breeze as it connects to the cloudways CDN. Please fix

Deployed Redis versions is Redis 5.0.3 (Released Tue Dec 11 18:17:26 CET 2018)

Since the release of 5.0.3. REDIS had 17 updates(!)

When can we see an update?

Thanks,

Ed

currently staging push only does the incremental changes. so if i make a staging, delete a plugin, and then push to live, the live site will still have the plugin. There should be an option such that the stuff i delete on the staging will be removed when pushing to live. If you use rsync in the background, just add a --delete option to it it isn't that much to change.

There have been breaking changes since the ElasticSearch 7.0 release.
For more information see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/breaking-changes-7.0.html

To use up-to-date applications with ElasticSearch we need at least version 7.0

Thank you.

We planned to upgrade our Magento app from 2.2.7 to Magento 2.4 as there are many performance & security fixes with latest version. for that, we must have to install and configure Elasticsearch 7.6.x before upgrading to Magento 2.4.0.

The new High Frequency Compute packages from Vultr are a huge improvement over their previous packages at a tiny increase in cost.

Benchmarks of 2413 Geekbench ($5) vs 4883 Geekbench ($6), 25GB vs 32GB storage, high clock CPU's and NVMe Local Storage for just an extra dollar!

Having to use a management solution to host these packages such as runcloud, serverpilot etc is an extra hassle for the average consumer and I have no doubt this will offer a huge surge of customers who are willing to pay for the convenience!

Many thanks :)

Some time ago the billing process used to be that bills were sent via email each month and we would forward these by a rule to our finance system for OCR input.

Now we need to login with 2FA, download the invoice and email it to our finance system. This process takes roughly 5 minutes vs 0 seconds and is a backwards step from an automated process.

Can we bring back the option to have bills sent via email?
