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.

Provide newer version on Nginx
Please consider providing a newer stable version of Nginx.
New servers are still installed with 1.8.x which has bugs, most significantly this:
https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/959
The bug causes major incompatibility between PrestaShop and Nginx when HTTP/2 is enabled. Ie. you can't add products to the shopping cart etc.
I understand that you don't wan't to be first mover on new version, but 1.8 is quite old by now.
9 votesWe are already offering the Latest stable version i.e. 1.19.8 across all Cloudways servers.

Enable Let's Encrypt Auto-renewal to work with .htaccess redirects in place
When a website is SSL secured (https) it is recommended to have redirect rules in place which enforce https (redirect http to https) and of course redirecting to one version (www vs non-www).
It appears that the Let's Encrypt Auto-Renewal does not work. It will fail saying there are htacces rules restricting it from working. I am not sure if this is an issue for Cloudways to fix, or Let's Encrypt.
In either case, the solution provided by Cloudways support is to:
1. Temporarily rename your .htaccess (so it is not in effect)
2. REVOKE your Let's Encrypt Certificate
3.…4 votesHello
We have resolved this issue, an update was deployed on all customer’s servers.
LE SSL installation is now independent of rules added in htaccess, now users just have to make sure that the domain is added in the domain section of the application and the domain is pointing to Cloudways server, any rules in htaccess will not conflict with SSL installations.
Best Regards

allow search by autogenerated app folder name
would be great if i could enter the actual app folder name that is auto generated by your system, into the panel interface search, and have the correct application show. currently it is a giant pain to figure out which app is running high on resources on top without doing a bunch of looking around.
1 voteThis is now live, users should be able to search apps and its server with system generated app folder name.

The git deployment documentation should tell the users to use GitHub's Deploy Keys feature.
The documentation that shows user how to deploy from Git (https://support.cloudways.com/using-git-for-deployment) tells users to give CloudWays full access to their GitHub account. Ideally the documentation should show GitHub's "Deploy Keys" feature (https://developer.github.com/guides/managing-deploy-keys/#deploy-keys) which allows the user to give CloudWays access to just the repositories it needs.
1 voteThe documentation on how to deploy from Git on the Cloudways Platform has now been updated to promote the use of repository-specific deployment keys.

Backup (costs): more transparency desirable and possibility to disable the backup service
1) Backups of server is a payed service. Totally fair, but it is not noted anywhere inside the platform portal. You have to dig like 3 articles deep to find out the actual costs for backup storage. It would be nice if in the server settings this was more transparent communicated.
2) Once you have multiple servers it is nearly impossible to find out what is actually charged per month for backup storage costs and what is droplet cost. Some reporting on this would be helpfull.
3) And last but not least, I think backup should be optional. I can…
