Use Let's Encrypt certificate for Cloudways database manager (8082 port) instead of a self signed cert
Since we all can use Let's Encrypt for free (basic needs), why don't you automatically setup LE cert for database manager rather than using self signed cert which gives browser warnings.

Auto-Cleaning Option for Logs (Error & Access)
On top of not being able to delete logs ourselves (which should be made possible - as suggested by other feature request), it would be massively useful if there was an option to set a timer for logs (both error & access) to be auto-cleaned.
Even if we can control the error logs to a degree (by fixing the application errors), we can't fully control access logs which is a problem because it literally means that the disk space for app is constantly growing - and if you don't pay attention it could take your site down due to full…

Specify time of day for backups
It would be nice to be able to specify a general time of day for backups to be made. Something like morning, noon, night. Of course to be able to pick the exact hour would be even better.
Right now backups are being made around 9pm local time on my server and that is making things very slow whenever I work in the admin area of wordpress, which is around 9pm in the evening.
Thanks

Fix Wordfence issue that stops the firewall from working
The latest version of WordFence adds a firewall. This requires that WordFence is able to write to the /wp-content/wplogs directory, but this is owned by the wrong account when created, causing the firewall to throw up an error. The 'Reset Permissions' button doesn't fix this ownership issue either.
2 votesWordfence has been removed from the default deployments. Let us know if issues persist when deploying outside of the base install.

Disk Space Details/Quota Per Application
At the Application Tab. Display Application Disk Data and Disk DB usage in numeric stats and Chart.
Purpose - to help us determine what app has increased in size and/or to help manage disk size.
279 votesGood news! Application disk usage information and graphs are now live , and we hope it delivers excellent value and simplify disk management for our users.
https://support.cloudways.com/how-to-view-application-disk-usage/We understand that this feature was on the wish list of many users and the release comes a bit late than promised. The feature required extensive testing, thus requiring this long for general release.

Backup single applications
Actually, we can take SERVER backups but we can RESTORE single applications. This is good but it would be great if we could also take a backup of a single application.
Consider this : we'll deploy an upgrade but before we want to made a backup that we can restore just after deployment if anything goes wrong.
- Actually, we need to take a full server backup, which takes several minutes ;
- I f we could made a backup of this single app, it would take 90% less time.
This could be placed at the same level than RESTORE tab under…

Add dashboard for applications
We have a console for Servers, where we can list all of our servers, enter each one and see the list of Applications on that server (by hitting application management and then viewing the drop-down list)
I'd like a console for viewing all applications, independent of server, so we could find a specific site without having to trudge through each server screen.
It'd simply act as a list of shortcuts directly into the Application Management screen for each.
At the end of the day, we only care about our Applications, that we need servers to host them is incidental, ideally…

Drupal 8 support plan
With Drupal 8 release imminent (https://www.drupal.org/node/2605142) could you publish a schedule for supporting Drupal 8 installation as an option, as well as Drush 8? We don't envisage building client sites with it for a few months at least, but would welcome knowing your plans for supporting it, and having the option to start testing.
6 votesThis is now live. You can launch Drupal 8, choosing Drupal application and then the 8 version (you can deploy Drupal 7 too).

White-label application URL
To me not having a white-label Cloudways application is absolutely of no concern. The only concern I have (because I offer clients managed Wordpress hosting) is the fact that the application-url is not white-label. If only I could have my brand name in stead of Cloudways I am done.

Cloudways is now offering CDN service in partnership with StackPath (formerly known as MaxCDN).
This service is available as an Add-on, which would cost you $1 per application for 25GB bandwidth.

SSH On Off Button
A simple button to turn ssh on and off, ssh can be turned off until the admin needs to use it so it adds an additional level of security straight on the dashboard. Thanks
