Sometimes edits need to be applied to nginx config such as:

location ~* .(doc|pdf|xml)$ {

add_header  X-Robots-Tag "noindex, noarchive, nosnippet";

}

This is not currently possible and there is no work around.

This means that google will index lots of files that it shouldn't and can cause many SEO problems.

Right now i have one server for Wordpress and another server with landing page software on it. I'd love to be able to have round-robin DNS so i can do something like.

www.domain.com - wordpress
www.domain.com/schedule - landing page

but that doesn't seem possible.

Hi I love Elsticsearch on Cloudways. But I miss the option to create a safe end point for the Elsticpress plugin.

It would be nice to have a read only user for the database so that people that need to perform SELECT queries don't use the admin user to log in.

Actually only the following files are served from nginx with proper HTTP headers for browser caching and character sets.

html|htm|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|bz2|pdf|odt|txt|tar|bmp|rtf|js|swf|avi|mp4|mp3|ogg|flv|svg

Please a local font files with the following extensions too:

eot/ttf/woff/woff2

Laravel jobs tend to offload queues using "Supervisor" jobs. Laravel's docs show how to pipe "stdout" output to a file for reading. Cloudways Supervisor logs will only write errors, so there's no way to access the Laravel queue processing logs.

Normally, this is set in the Supervisor job ".conf" file with setting "stdout_logfile=".

This should be an option so Laravel users can access the Laravel queue logs, or the current Cloudways Supervisor logs should have "stdout" in addition to errors.

DesktopServer version 3.5.2 has a new direct deployment feature to get your WordPress websites from your desktop to your hosting provider in just a few clicks.

To do this Cloudways must support File System Direct.

File System Direct is a (PHP) feature that allows WordPress to write files to the local file system on the server. At the moment it does not so we can't use this feature in DesktopServer.

You support high cpu instances for AWS and Google Cloud but not DigitalOcean.

Can you include support for choosing different instance types for DigitalOcean such as their high CPU Instance?

Please add Lightspeed as server stack option, optimized with Wordpress Lightspeed cache plugin, to have fastest server today.

Please enable it asap, as it will be beneficial for us serving the Middle East.

Thanks and regards

looking to add mailparse to PHP stack - want to use uvDesk (https://www.uvdesk.com/en/opensource/) that requires this extension

for the sake of example, currently I have access to a 160GB disk space server and i am only using 22 GB of it. i can't add more files because i seem to be out of inode space. Inodes are made from disk space being used as a table to map out other files. Why can't this table be increased using the space i already have access to so i can take advantage of all my disk space.

The t3a family of servers upgrade the old t2 family of servers. The t3a family is cheaper to run yet more powerful, so you'll save money and your clients will get an even better product.

Block Storage (Digital Ocean, Vultr) or Buckets (GCP) with an unlimited storage option.

Hi, on the Google Cloud Platform they have VM instances which you can get on Cloudways.
On Google Cloud Platform they also have Storage "Buckets" which are a far cheaper way to store lots of data. You can also store multiple Terabytes.
My suggestion is that Cloudways offers a "Buckets" storage option.

ie backup entire server before upgrading MySQL, so that restore of entire server is possible (inc older MySQL version) if something goes wrong with the upgrade. I understand this would be chargeable but it would save the stress levels for many a web dev

The server upgrade takes somewhere between 10-15 minutes and during the upgrade, visitors can't access the website. They see a 503 error.

I think Cloudways should show a maintenance page while the server upgrade is in the process.
