Make the "Restart" Buttons Work in the New Platform
When Apache or MySQL go down, the "restart" buttons can't be clicked and are always grayed out. I always need to chat with your support to get things restarted. It would be fantastic if these buttons worked.

Allow account owners/master user to create application credentials directly
I should be able to have full control over my team members. if i want to set their login password i should be able to do it, but as it stands right now I have to bother my user and ask them to perform a password creation step that they shouldn't have to.
I should be able to go to them and say "here is your access" as I don't want them to have access to the Cloudways console, I just want them to have an SFTP login, thats it. Requiring them to login and create their own credentials is…
27 votesThank you for all your votes. We have now made it possible for account owners/master users to create as many application credentials as they like directly, without the need of creating team members first.
Please note that SSH access for applications will need to be enabled from within “Application Settings > General” in order for SSH to work for any application credentials created this way.

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.

Possibility to disable xDebug
It is known that in a production environment having xDebug enabled is a performance issue. Having a switch to toggle xDebug would improve most of the production servers where nobody really needs xDebug.
2 votesXdebug is now disabled by default on all servers (new and existing) and you can easily enable/disable it from Server Settings.

Add PHP 7
PHP7 will land soon and smart hosting companies are already supporting it (see Siteground and a handful other competitors).
The speed and performance gains are tremendous. Speed + performance = better website experience and for commercial sites, more revenue.
The first hosting company to get proper staging support, php 7, easy SSL install and SNI support gets my future business. It's no longer okay for hosting companies to lag behind on PHP, holding the web back.
114 votesPHP7 is now live. Please note that it is only available (and will continue to be) on Debian 8 servers. If you are running on an older Debian 7 server, you can migrate your application to a new Debian 8 server (where even with php 5.6 you will get better performance) and test php 7 there.

Allow users to rename application folder
It's great that we can now have a single SFTP account to access all applications on each server. However the randomly generated application folder names, while secure, are not user-friendly. By the time I have looked up which folder corresponds to each application, I might as well have set up an FTP account for each application.
Give us the ability to rename application folders to something meaningful would make the functionality much more useful

Give MySQL Workbench access without having to give master credentials
I would like being able to give someone access to a single database throw MySQL Workbench without having to send him the master credentials that could be used to access all the server files throw SFTP.
1 voteThis is already possible. If you use Workbench with master credentials, you will have access to all DBs for all apps in the server.
If you instead use application credentials (https://support.cloudways.com/difference-between-master-credentials-and-application-credentials/), you will have just access to the database of that specific app.
Hope this helps.

Better wording for Delete Primary Domain under Domain Management
This is a suggestion for better wording when you click on the Delete button of a primary domain that has been set.
The pop up window text says: "Are you sure you want to delete Application Primary Domain?"
This can be confused to think you might delete the applications itself. Wording such as: "Are you should you would like to delete this primary domain assigned to the application?" would be more specific.
3 votesThis has been done.

Add the higher servers configurations 32 to 64GB RAM 12-20-24 cores
Please add the higher servers configurations from Vultr and DigitalOcean featuring 32 to 64GB RAM 12-20-24 cores.
While I am not ready just yet for them I do need to know that the option will be there when the time comes.
Also may I suggest that you top the managing fee (markup) per server to be close to $100? This would also match Linode current full manage service offer. It's just that 60% markup would make these more expensive servers way too expensive.
Thanks!
1 voteDon, this is already available when launching a new server from console and choosing “I know my server size”.

keep the application credential in master
I think you should keep the applications sftp access credential in the master account. I know that it seem duplicated but in fact, it's not. since the application credential locks to one applications. also, if I need a application credentail I would need to create a team member account and do all the crazy thing to set up the new member account in order to make the application credentials. this is very tedious and troublesome sometime because all we need is to get the credential info and send it to someone. Normally, we need the application credentail is because we…
