Offer a hardware firewall option to our customers which can be managed in our dashboard for even better network security.

Ampere based instances would be amazing in terms of energy efficiency and might make it possible to offer lower prices for the same or better performance.
I know that this would be a big investment and might not be possible at the moment but I wanted to share my idea just in case.

Even more affordable arm based instances

Look at your other competitors ( DO, Linode and Vultr) none are offering such great price in the region.

it would be great add GPU based vps, as interacting with AI and making ML based products after 2023 is not an options

A discord server would be a cool way to give webdock users more access to y’all and updates about the service and help build your user base

Create a Health Report page which looks at your server resources, recent activity, SSL Certificate status and anything else which may impact the operation of your website or web-app and provide concrete suggestions on how to fix or mitigate any potential issues.

A managed container service like Azure Container Apps or  Digital Ocean App Platform. Basically come with your container, we host it for you option. Could be nice if the pricing was put in some monthly plans like Netlify does it, so it was more easy to calculate customer cost up-front.

Enable Http2 without need to change code manually

Opening / closing ports directly from the dashboard as well as adding pre/post route advanced rules

UFW / Firewall management

Although we highly discourage using a VPS for shared hosting we are under the impression that this is a feature many users are missing from Webdock. Please cast your vote here and chime in if you have seen good examples on how to manage multiple websites out there in other control panels which can serve as inspiration to our team on how we would implement this.

Ability to manage multiple websites

Add the ability to mark one or more SSH Public Keys as "auto deploy" which will then be automatically added to the default LAMP/LEMP stack admin user, or in the case of clean OS installs a default user is created with a random password set.

Auto-deploy one or more ssh keys on provision

Allow obtaining a BGP session as an additional product, allowing customers with ASN and an IP prefix to exchange traffic.

First, I must say I love Webdock, the additional tooling that is provided, the clear API, and also the transparency related to issues appearing and the speed at which issues are solved. Now, unfortunately, I heard the Ryzen product line is discontinued. I think the Ryzen offering made Webdock very competitive. High-frequency CPUs and a sustainable hosting provider are a great combination. Either having slow Xeons for an incredible price or having incredibly fast Ryzen for also an incredible price/value made Webdock stand out. The new Epyc offering is somewhat in between those two but with pricing very similar to the former Ryzen plans (about 7% cheaper).In my initial benchmarking, the Epyc servers unfortunately perform 30-50% slower than the Ryzen counterparts for WordPress/SQL workloads. The performance is also very close to Hetzner’s AMD offering now, which is offered for a much lower price and generally has better uptime in my experience.I hope Webdock will reintroduce high-frequency CPUs, such as the high-frequency Epyc counterparts of Ryzen or other Ryzen CPUs (e.g. the 7900 or 9900 provide a lot of speed against relatively advantageous power usage, compared to top-of-the-line 7950x/9950x). There are other sustainable providers out there who offer Ryzen hosting at similar price levels, but they are unfortunately not as catered to developers as Webdock. So I really would like Webdock to offer high-frequency plans again.<div data-type="horizontalRule"><hr></div>Addendum: some benchmark data, benchmarked on Xeon 2c/4GB, Epyc 2c/4gb and Ryzen 2c/4gb, using the default WordPress installationWordPress Post Query TestInserting, Querying, Deleting 10000 postsRyzen: 20.9 secondsEpyc: 30.7 secondsXeon: 116,7 secondsWordPress Benchmark Plugin - Test PHP, SQL, Disk and Network PerformanceRyzen: 9.4 overall score (PHP, SQL, File &amp; Network tests are all significantly faster)Epyc: 7.6 scoreXeon: 7.4 score (SQL and PHP are slower than Epyc here, the rest is similar)WordPress Performance Tester - WordPress Benchmark PluginRyzen: 6.003 score (lower is better)Epyc: 9.278 scoreXeon: 10.399 scoreh2load load tester - requests per second the server can handleRyzen: 83.79 requests / secondEpyc: 65.55 requests / secondXeon: 35.27 requests / second

Would be great if we can count on webdock add-on service for load balancing incoming traffic among VPS. I believe it could be a different tiers of service (from cheap one to enterprise grade ones).

Allow customers to pay with direct debit SEPA (EU only)

In order to mitigate issues with our users being identified incorrectly by Google as coming from Iran due to them not being able to geolocate our IPv6 blocks properly, this seems like a worthwhile feature at this point.

Disable IPv6 easily

Allow users to freely change between currently supported PHP versions on our LAMP/LEMP stacks.

Create a dark CSS theme which can be toggled in the dashboard

We are building our own datacenter in Denmark which we hope will go online in Q2 2024

This new facility will enable us to provide a range of new products (new low-cost as well as premium products) as well as much improved networking infrastructure and many other good things.

We look forward to opening shop here in Denmark which will then become our EU location moving forward, as we no longer wish to be in co-location with Hetzner in Finland as we are currently.

This change will not impact any current customers in any significant way. You will be informed in detail as to what this means to you as a customer in our EU location once we get nearer to a completion date.

Offer KVM instances as a virtualization option in addition to our LXD instances

KVM Support

Our new mobile app will now support IOS as well as SSO sign ins instead of the cumbersome App Tokens we have currently
The app is completely redesigned for simplicity and we hope to have full one-click SSH functionality working at launch as well.

New much improved and redesigned Mobile App with IOS support

Could you kindly add more features that enable users to fully customize their server package according to their specific needs and preferences like upgrade RAM, upgrading Disk, and more ? This would greatly enhance the user experience and provide greater flexibility in choosing the right server package for their needs.

Add Features to customize server package

As the title says. Currently the "old" way with the hosting provider API is being used. Now, the use of the normal API with a dedicated token created by the user is recommended to control DNS and other features.

Transcript of my support ticket:

A few hours ago, I read about the fact that Docker, in most cases, exposes ports passed through the host externally without any warning or information about doing it.

A few sources:

Since you have guides regarding Docker in your documentation, would it be possible to add a big and noticeable disclaimer to each page discussing Docker to inform the Webdock users about this?

It shouldn't be necessary to explain how to fix it (but will be well received if done, however the workaround differs between environments sadly), just to inform this security issue exists.

Add disclaimer about Docker firewall handling

This is a feature request from a customer we got on our support channel. The goal is to prevent any team members who do not have the billing permission from changing the server profile (as that has billing implications)

Limit Profile Change if Team User does not have Billing Permission
