Force SSL
It would be nice if we could have a Force SSL option from the control panel for wordpress. Then you would not have to install a ssl plugin or add rules to HTACCESS

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…

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.

Add multiple domain ssl support for a single application.
I have WordPress MU and I have multiple ssl certificates for the multiple domains but I can't use it within one application, therefore I have to create multiple wordpress instances for the domains.
Very annoying that I can't use WordPress MU with multiple domains with multiple single domain ssl certifications.
31 votesWe have added a support of SAN in our platform, which will allow you to have a support for multiple domains using single SSL certificate. Having SAN available there won’t be a need of getting separate SSL for multiple domains mapped to a single website.
Moreover, work is already in progress for Let’sEncrypt (freeSSL) to support multiple domains using single SSL.

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.
3 votesThis is now possible. A Revoke option has been added.

Support 'Let's Encrypt' (automatic and free SSL/TLS)
Mid 2015 the Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority (CA) is expected to go live. It would be great if Cloudways would join this effort and offer it as a service to their customers. This CA & software will allow automatic and free (domain validated) SSL/TLS for any domain.
For more information visit https://letsencrypt.org/
157 votesThis is now live. Option is available under Application Management → SSL certificate.

Fallback to SMS or Backup Codes (like Google) on Two-Factor Authentication issues
Lost access to TFA authentication should fall back to SMS or Backup Codes (like Google) rather than a quick comment on the chat.
4 votesFallback to SMS and/or Backup code is now available on Cloudways. For instructions, please follow the KB.

Let two-factor authentication remember your computer for 30 days
Glad to have two-factor authentication, but it's a huge hassle to use every time I have to log in -- especially since the system automatically logs me out after such a short period of inactivity (an hour maybe?).
Please add a "Remember this computer for 30 days" option -- the exact same way Google does it -- so that we only have to do the two-factor auth (on a known computer) once a month.

We have got into a partnership with Sucuri where we can offer their services at a discounted price. Read more here:
https://support.cloudways.com/how-to-setup-sucuri-antivirus-website-monitoring/After extensive research, we think Sucuri is the best option for our customers. They are experts in the CMSs we deploy (Wordpress, Magento …) and their services have the flexibility our customers need (including on-demand site cleaning).
