Different MySQL users - one for managing database and one with limited permissions for usage in scripts
As many apps stores MySQL credentials in a plain text inside code. I suggest to provide us with 2 MySQL users
1) Admin user - with the most wide permissions
2) Script user - allowed only to manipulate with rows (CRUD)This is common security practice on other hostings.

Node.js/Mongo DB Hosting
I develop using React.js. Node.js/Meteor, as well as MongoDB. I would love to use cloudways to launch and develop applications using this stack. This would be a game changer for real developers. I hope you all work on this soon. Thank you

Include Cloudways DNS
Having a DNS is very important, as redirecting from CNAME hurts SEO. It's a very basic feature, and must be included.

Improved mysql manager with search and replace functionality
The current administrator is fast and lightweight but it needs a little more functionality. For example it would be nice to have a "search" option within a table and once you get the result set to have the option to modify, delete, etc. Currently if you want to modify the record 10.000 in a table you have to display up to that record and then you get the option to modify it. If you do a query to list only your record 10.000 there is no option to modify it. Yes, it can all be done with queries... but that…

Add support to MEAN Stack (MongoDB + Express + AngularJS + NodeJS)
It'd be great to have the option to have a NodeJS+Express based web server, using MongoDB as database and with support for AngularJS... in short a full MEAN Stack ;) Thanks!

Sphinx and Solr engine
Magento search is probably a problem for most of Magento user and I think Sphinx and Solr are what all Magento store need. So if these engine can be installed, it must be very convenience.

Please note that we have added the option to deploy Elasticsearch to any server. You can do it from the Packages tab in the Server Settings section. We will consider Solr at a later stage.

LEMP Stack with Apache removed
The current setup seems to be only using nginx as reverse proxy in front of apache/php-fpm.
Right now requests seem to go this way nginx->apache->php-fpm.
We'd like to test with apache completely removed and nginx->php-fpm direct.
We'd like to have a nginx -> php-fpm setup for generating dynamic content on uncached pages for faster performance.
We are able to get twice the page loading speed from a direct setup on Linode with identical specs with Nginx used for php-fpm than the Thunderstack use of Nginx only as a reverse proxy and Apache for php-fpm dynamic content.
When a customer is…

Improved KB
Simply, what I want to achieve:
- Great speed
- Maximize CW featureFor example, you have kb about w3tc. What if the question I don't see on the kb? Leaving a comment or live chat. But, many comments remain unanswered. And now I need to figure out how to set w3tc for maximum performance here in cloudways.
Here on feedback forum. There's no quick answer.
On the other side, on live chat the customer service seems distracted sometimes and giving kb as their reference. If the kb is important to for your customer service then please improve it.
You…

Offer WHM/cPanel/Plesk Support
Your platform is amazing, I just migrated a client's site to it today and it dropped the load time from 9.8s to 2.3s. I would love to move all of the clients off my existing VPS but I have about 20 clients that are used to having individual cPanel accounts. I would gladly pay the extra $$ for a license!

Allow to change server time zone
Allow to change server timezone.
Please to allow customer to change the servertimezone.
I have difficulties to make cronjob, because there is different time between php & server time. I have cronjob to generate/update report in magento for every 5 minutes, then send it in end of day (around 23:xx). But, since the server time is different the report actually not complete & different with Magento report. please consider this.thanks

Limit application to disk space
The disk space reporting is very helpful. It would be even more helpful to limit application to a specified disk space.

Add BitNinja.io security for both Server and Apps
Would be great having this installed as an option. Would protect server and all the Apps installed so we don't necessary have to go for Sucuri for each single App when clients cannot afford.
