Fully Support WP Rocket
Your KB article on WP Rocket says that you don't fully support minification of JS/CSS due to Varnish caching on the server.
It would be amazing if you guys could reach out to WP Rocket and see if this could be resolved.
83 votesThat is correct, workaround listed at http://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/670-hosting-compatibility#cloudways will allow you to make use of minification of WPRocket on Cloudways Platform.
We have also posted the same solution in our KB system:

Make the "Restart" Buttons Work in the New Platform
When Apache or MySQL go down, the "restart" buttons can't be clicked and are always grayed out. I always need to chat with your support to get things restarted. It would be fantastic if these buttons worked.

WordPress and Woocommerce apps should both use Woo Varnish by default
My suggestion is that all WordPress apps use the Woocommerce Varnish by default.
This way there's no risk of a user installing a normal WordPress app and later installing Woocommerce on it, only to find out that their cart is broken because of Varnish.
Here is why:
I found out that the WordPress app uses a unique Varnish and the Woocommerce app uses it's own unique Varnish.
I ran into a problem with a WordPress app that I later decided to install Woocommerce on. Once I did, the normal wp Varnish did not support Woocommerce and it broke my cart…

Hosting email addresses
Every hosting provider I have used allowed me to create as many email addresses as I wanted without an extra cost.
At the moment, I need to pay for two servers because on your server I need to pay monthly for each email account. I have one server with you (I host my websites on it), and the other with another company (I host on it the email addresses for these sites.
Could you make my and other life easier by adding an option in the app console for creating and hosting email accounts?
37 votesAs other users pointed, we have partnered with Rackspace to offer mailboxes at a very discounted rate (best pricing for very reliable Rackspace Email mailboxes that you will find anywhere).
More information here:
https://www.cloudways.com/en/addon/rackspace-email-hosting.phpWe don’t have plans to support deploying mailboxes on our servers as we see email as a completely different service than web hosting, that is what we are trying to be very good at.

Add Digital Ocean Block Storage Option
Add support for Digital Ocean's Block Storage add-on. This will allow us to not have to scale entire server for more storage space. This also allows for more options away from the more expensive AWS or Google services for more storage space.
136 votesSupport for DigitalOcean’s Block Storage is now available on Platform.
For details please refer to the following KB. https://support.cloudways.com/how-to-use-digitalocean-block-storage/

Support wildcard DNS, so Wordpress Multisite auto create sub domains
As it is now, we have to manually create the sub domains or use sub directories, which isn't the best solution. Personally I don't have time or even want to do this manually, and I guess this is the case for most people that are interested in Multisites.
9 votesAs Todd said (in new platform) when using a Custom Certificate, you can just generate a wildcard certificate (*.mydomain.com), that you can use for WP Multisites, or any other needs you have. Wildcard certificates are not yet supported via Let’s Encrypt certificate authority.

Manage rackspace email accounts from within console
The current option to add mailboxes from Rackspace is extremely limited.
The only way to order them, is via a small window and is very limited information.
I have no details at all about current mailboxes, quota usage etc...
Also, the only way to order mailboxes is by TYPING in the details in the window including the desired password for the mailbox???
Afterwards, I get a confirmation back from support with the password in the email.
It's completely unsafe to communicate about passwords this way.And lastly, there is no control at all about the mailboxes.
I can't create extra…36 votes -
Alarm on bandwidth Monitoring by email
Having to pay for a bandwidth that will rely on behavior of internet (such as robot attack, malware, what ever intention...) but not being able to stop the expense is not something anyone would sign for, woudl you?
Therefore, having an alarm on bandwith with a threshold set by us is something to consider. Though the monitoring can be done through SSH , alarm must be done by email since none of us are spending they day watching the bandwidth consumption.
I will not sign for the account for this reason. that is total not acceptable interm of business rules…

Provide a way to edit/remove Let's Encrypt from application
Currently there is no way to make a change to the installed certificate so it is not possible to change the domain once a cert has been installed. The only resolution available presently is to migrate to a new application.

Add Google single sign on login to ClicknGo (and new control panel)

ALLOW a Single Person (and their email) to be a TEAM MEMBER on MORE THAN ONE ACCOUNT
Allow a way for a SINGLE person (and their email) to be associated as a TEAM MEMBER on more than one account.
At the moment, a person would need to create several different emails to be be a TEAM MEMBER on more than one account.
There should be a GENERAL ACCOUNT console (that doesn't require a hosting/server plan.... however it CAN support a purchased plan if desired) that is separate from any TEAM MEMBER access associations.
On the console you should be able to see all of the accounts you are associated as a TEAM MEMBER on... and access them…102 votesThank you for your patience.
This feature is now live on the Platform. You will now be able to add a team member on more than one account.
We will be happy to hear what you think of this improvement.
