Create custom URL for new Cloudways apps - without subdomains
For example...
we could change: wordpress-565604-2320235.cloudwaysapps.com
to: easyname.cloudwaysapps.comThis is a common feature on WPengine. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/hqEZfVj
Currently, the only way to do this on cloudways is to make a subdomain. However this...
1. Makes launch more complicated because you have to migrate to a new app before pointing domain.
2. Bloats the primary domain.2 votes -
Permalinks should be set to Post name by default when installing WordPress
Permalinks should be set as Post name as a default. Just like when you are using the local development tool made by local by flywheel which was purchased by WPEngine.

Monitoring info at scale
Hello!
https://fluid.services/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/stats1.jpg
It would be nice if some of these stats could be displayed
https://fluid.services/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/stats3.jpg
in this area when looking at all servers
i have a bunch of servers now and it would just make my life easier to see some of that info at scale
and I'd be more likely to upgrade something (more money for you guys) if I can see it all in a list like that
that's it! Just wanted to pass it along as something to consider down the line! I'd consider it a quality of life improvement for customers with multiple servers :)7 votes -
We need Storage Option to offload WordPress video, audio, photos, & other uploads to a secondary storage.
Membership sites and Course websites can easily become storage intensive and the current plans you offer do not offer enough storage and are not a good solution for this. In my opinion the current Block Storage solution doesn't make much sense to me. I need to be able to offload video, pictures, audio, and other uploads to a secondary storage solution either hosted by Cloudways or other platforms. It would be nice if Cloudways had an option to purchase a secondary storage option then through a plugin made by you or a third party be able to offload the media…

We need to be able to upgrade our Rackspace standard email account to Email Plus Account. We need Email Plus account at reduced price.
I need to be able to sync Calendars of my Rackspace email account with outlook. This can only be done with a Rackspace email plus account. Either get this feature added to the standard account or allow an option for people with Rackspace Standard Email account to upgrade to Email Plus Account. Also add option to archive emails. So basically offer all of the Rackspace options on Cloudways for reduced price.

Allow API access to be granular
I would like to use the API to do a Git deploy on select applications. I would write a script and put the script on a server. As that would be the only job that API key would do, I would like to limit it by that permission/function and also to what server and applications it could do a git pull on.
So I see two ways to do this, one would be attach the API key the the current user. And what that user has permissions to in the UI would be what that key would have.
Another would…

The email automatically used in WordPress installs should be changeable.
There should be an option to use to enter a secondary email for all the future wordpress installs so your billing email address doesn't get exposed and you don't get a bunch of wordpress emails.

Exclude specific static content/file types from Nginx cache
SUGGESTION: Add Function/Button to SERVER or APP Dashboard to exclude specific static filetypes from being served by the Nginx server / static cache
USE CASE: Membership Websites or Knowledge Management Site have the need of protecting access to specific static content. For example, certain Pdf-documents, Excel-Sheets, etc.
We currently manage access to such files via a Wordpress membership plugin. However the plugin / htaccess gets bypassed by the Nginx cache.
Cloudways support can implement such file exclusions from Nginx literally within seconds. But it seems that their settings/override gets reset at certain intervals (perhaps by server maintenance or restarts.)

Multiple databases per application
Please, please, allow multiple databases per application.
I think this is a must-have feature. For example, for Drupal sites, this would enable the "multisite" capability. In this configuration, multiple sites share the same Drupal core code and modules. This makes updating Drupal core and modules a snap, as you can update multiple sites in one step.
Think of a web agency that maintains dozens of Drupal sites - updating one at a time is a lot of work. Drupal doesn't support automatic updates like WordPress but it's rumoured to be available in Drupal 10. The multisite features requires multiple databases…1 vote -

Auto SSL Renewal with HTTP Basic Auth
Hello,
I have a staging server where HTTP Basic Auth is always on and when I have SSL Cert Auto-Renewal ON as well it does not function how it should. Every time my cert expires I need to go in and disable Basic Auth and renew the cert manually.
Please have the auto-renewal process check if basic auth is enabled and temporarily disable before pulling the cert renewal. Super easy to implement this check.

Security
Hi there,
I recently learned about the login lock feature at BigScoots.
The Login Lock feature allows for an extra layer of login security on the WP admin dashboard. You can read more about it at the link below:
https://blog.bigscoots.com/wordpress-optimized-portal-wpo/#admin-security-lock
Will Cloudways be releasing something similar soon? It would be great to have an extra layer of login security available for our sites.

When trying to PUSH/PULL selected database tables from staging, list tables in single-column non-iframed list
When choosing only selected database tables to PUSH or PULL from staging to live website it is VERY difficult to both read or find the tables because of you choice of layout. I'm numbering things so replies can reference each point.
PROBLEMS
- Tables are listed in four columns
- Tables are inside a quite small iframe that forces us to scroll around 6 pages in length... it's like only being allowed to look through a peephole at large document.
- Table names are truncated with an ellipsis (...) if they don't fit in the width of the column and for me that's…

Breez cache plugin - Feature to clear a specific page
This is about the "Breeze" cache plugin for Wordpress, which is by the way amazing!
There is just one thing that is really annoying, that most of other cache plugin do. There is no option to purge the cache only for a specific page. With other cache plugin, it's possible to do it from the Wordpress bar at the top of the page and that's great to force refreshing a page for users, without having to delete the whole cache, thus slowing down the whole website for users during some time.
Thank you for the great work and best regards,…
