enforce https
Please add a feature to the Cloudways dashboard to easily force HTTPS. It's not hard to add a rewrite rule to .htaccess but many platforms such as Kinsta and SiteGround have easy switch for this.

Push and Pull Individual Tables and Folders between staging and live environment
Hello team, pushing and pulling individual tables and folders between staging and the live environment is better compared to transferring the entire database or files. Because in Woocommerce, pushing the database might lead to loss of orders made in between.

Edit Wildcard SSL Support Article
In the article on creating wildcard SSL certs the image in Step 3 is misleading.
Currently suggests using the FULL URL for 'Host' when all you need to add is:
_acme-challenge.
This took ages with Live Chart to figure out.
Thanks
1 voteThank you for contributing your valuable suggestions.
Image in Step -3 has been updated.

Cloudways please document your security practices
I would like to suggest that Cloudways publishes an article or other document that describes how Cloudways maintains, patches, updates servers and secures them.
The intent is not to disclose details that puts security at risk but instead demonstrates the value Cloudways is providing in the area of helping its customers maintain a secure server and application environment.
Information should include frequency of update / patch deployment, frequency of security scans for malware / unauthorized access, firewall ports and services that are open especially those for inbound traffic from the Internet, intrusion protection mechanisms, transparency reports for government information requests…

Currently, you have laravel 5.5 version as the latest version. But the latest version of Laravel is 5.6 right now.
I would like to suggest you upgrade laravel from 5.5 to 5.6 because currently I am working on 5.6 but your system doesn't support that.

Can we please please get a wild card SSL certificate on the cloudwaysapps.com domain
I am constantly deploying dev environments for development/plugin updates. Many of the WP/Woo plugins need an ssl cert to work properly.
The .cloudwaysapps.com domain that these are deployed on does not have a wildcard ssl certificate meaning our dev environments have plugin conflicts. Wildcard SSL certs are available for less than US$50 per year. I am more than happy to pay for it.
If this could be put in place as soon as possible it would be hugely appreciated. You can invoice me for the cost no worries.

Add geo detection capabilities into Varnish
Please add geo detection capabilities into Varnish, this will accelerate use case scenarios where geo detection is essential.
For e.g. in WooCommerce, their current method to provide multi-currency that's compatible with cache is using Woocommerce based geo detection, which tends redirects the visitor 4 times to the correct URL of the page with the correct currency/tax displayed.
Other multi-currency plugins attempt improve this but their loading speeds are too slow, drastically affecting woocommerce store loading times, and making caching useless.
By having geo detection capabilities right in the server stack (Nginx or Varnish, which ever is hit first by visitors)…

Notification when Elastic Mail quota is reached.
My Elastic Mail stopped working and apparently I hit my quota. Since there was no notification - my clients lost $???? worth of new business leads. You should allow us to view the email logs and notify us if we hit our quota.
