Google servers in Brazil
Please consider opening up the option of using Google servers in Brazil. Google recently launched up a data center in Sao Paulo.
I already know you offer Amazon in Sao Paulo but Google may be cheaper ;)

A great provider of cloud hosting. It came second in the Cloud Spectator 2016 EU top 10 vendor benchmarks. With a first place for vCPU and memory and also disk performance.

Support for Amazon Lightsail
New as of 11/30/2016, Lightsail provides much more competitive rates than normal AWS. Comparable to the DigitalOcean or Vultr plans currently offered by Cloudways.

Provide status information about all your cloud provider and send alert in notification bot
The only way to check the status of the infrastructure is to check status.cloudways.com but if anything happens in the side of any service provider (ex: Kyup) then we don't get any information.
I would prefer that you give us earlier alert via notification bots, or emails when there is an issue that affects many customers.
You should keep a certain level of QOS and being accountable for the technical issues of your technology partners in order to avoid them.

Sells only servers with IP that do not have old DNS records pointing to
Cloudways should require from infrastructure providers that only servers with IP are assigned to cw customers, without orphaned DNS-records pointing to.
We had unbelievable efforts to get the DoubleContent entries out of the web from old DNS-records stored/cached in Cloudflare-system from old/former IP-holder. Without possibilities to change/delete the foreign records it's a disaster!
Would be very important to check automatic for NO orphaned DNS-records from old user/domain (from Cloudways or the Infrastructure Providers).
Otherwise there will be a lot of unnecessary and very time-consuming work steps for Cloudways clients!

Add more locations
Please offer all the locations, and not just a select group, for each of your providers. For example, I -- and my customers -- are in Texas, so the Vultr datacenter in Dallas would make a great deal of sense; but you don't offer it. Similar limitations exist for your other providers. If they have a location, please offer it, too.

Penetration Testing Form
Amazon AWS has a form to let them know you want to do penetration testing: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/penetration-testing/
There should be a process at the cloudways level to facilitate this communication between the infrastructure providers and your end user/customers.

Vultr DNS Integration
Vultr has a free DNS service for all of their customers. It would be awesome if Cloudways could integrate this somehow.
I did reach out to Vultr support to see if I had access since I had a Vultr server but it was through Cloudways. I figured I wouldn't but it doesn't hurt to get more information. This was the response.

"If you signed up through Cloudways, you would not be able to have access to Vultr DNS since it requires a direct account with us I'm afraid, unless Cloudways adds Vultr DNS Integration in…9 votes -

Southern California Data Centers
Vultr offers an LA based data-center, but you can only choose the first tier hosting plan because they don't have the resources in their LA datacenter.
Please offer more southern california datacenter options.

Dedicated servers
Solutions in the "cloud" is simple, flexible and user-friendly when it comes to quickly change the infrastructure. For us that is slightly more advanced users, and sees the need for dedicated servers for our applications have several advantages to having it on dedicated servers.
I am aware that it is significantly more advance and would cost a small fortune, but it is also considerably cheaper than large configurations in the "cloud" for us who have these needs.
The market for dedicated servers is huge, there are both managed and unmanaged servers out there you can pick and choose from. I…

Allow the public_html folder be symlinkable
In Short allow the ability to symlink the public_html folder in order to use Ci tools such as bamboo, deploybot, envoyer to handle deployment of code.
It would be great to run a build scp a zip of the site unzip on the server and then symlink the public_html with the current release, therefore having no downtime when deploying code.
