It would be nice to have one or two levels in between the two for accounting personnel and or Website managers that allows access to some areas of OnSite but not all. http://community.modwest.com/answer/176 http://community.modwest.com/answer/176 A selection to see Analog and Webalizer statistics for any subdomains you may have. http://community.modwest.com/answer/200 http://community.modwest.com/answer/200 as per MySQl best practice security guidelines http://community.modwest.com/answer/102 http://community.modwest.com/answer/102 It would be cool if the system would recognize if your account only has a MySQL 5 database and present you with that login instead of a broken MySQL 4 login. http://community.modwest.com/answer/180 http://community.modwest.com/answer/180 http://community.modwest.com/answer/99 http://community.modwest.com/answer/99 For that occasional embarrassing rm -rf http://community.modwest.com/answer/374 http://community.modwest.com/answer/374 http://community.modwest.com/answer/165 http://community.modwest.com/answer/165 It would be nice to be able to select a specific invoice and print it or save it as a pdf. http://community.modwest.com/answer/175 http://community.modwest.com/answer/175 The web-based mail from Modwest is not sufficient for today's online user. Time to scrap it and make it fast, intuitive and simple. Be sure to have a good Design team. http://community.modwest.com/answer/190 http://community.modwest.com/answer/190 http://community.modwest.com/answer/26 http://community.modwest.com/answer/26 Currently there is no way to maintain a site through the control panel. We have the option of installing something like wordpress, but I would be more interested in just being able to edit files and am not generally that interested in the majority of what wordpress has to offer. I'm also not always on a computer that has PuTTY or any other web development package when I want to do something. I'd like to see the option to add/amend/delete files and folders directly from the control panel. http://community.modwest.com/answer/291 http://community.modwest.com/answer/291 An update UI would be just great. I mean its great how it is now but it could use a refresher. It still needs to have the same ease of use (thats what draws all my clients to Modwest) unlike godaddy or network solutions control panels. http://community.modwest.com/answer/108 http://community.modwest.com/answer/108 A shared account can have one name and many aliases. I'm was pondering the dumping / moving of the domain associated with a shared account in favor of an alias, but I see no way to promote an alias. I could open an new account, but that means a change of login and anyone relying on the single sign-on for this feedback community might have a problem with that. So a much better way would be to change the domain within the account. http://community.modwest.com/answer/592 http://community.modwest.com/answer/592 It'd be great if when you log into OnSite if beside the email login link you could see the number of emails you have that are unread. http://community.modwest.com/answer/75 http://community.modwest.com/answer/75 Something like a Mozy or iDrive where we can do online storage, backup and file sharing (with multilevel security access). http://community.modwest.com/answer/679 http://community.modwest.com/answer/679 I'm just tired of being asked whether I want to see all the page content or just the secure content when I browse the secure site. http://community.modwest.com/answer/941 http://community.modwest.com/answer/941 I can't read Chinese or Japanese or Arabic writing -- let me add a preference to make it more likely messages written in these formats are flagged as spam. http://community.modwest.com/answer/162 http://community.modwest.com/answer/162 http://community.modwest.com/answer/164 http://community.modwest.com/answer/164 I often give out an alias to each company I deal with when handing out email addresses so that determining a source of spam is easier. It would also be nice if the 'from' address in any reply I send could be set to the 'to' address that it was sent to, so that the same alias is used in outgoing email too, without me having to modify my settings for each individual email that I want to send out. http://community.modwest.com/answer/289 http://community.modwest.com/answer/289 PHPMyAdmin is just awful, and my terminal skills just aren't up to par to avoid PHPMyAdmin. I'd love to be able to use a great client app such as Sequel Pro, but Modwest doesnt support MySQL clients. http://community.modwest.com/answer/886 http://community.modwest.com/answer/886 A place for non-techies, non-system administrators to go to get verrrrry simple answers to questions. http://community.modwest.com/answer/849 http://community.modwest.com/answer/849 Yeah, like all I need to know about all I have at modwest in one page. http://community.modwest.com/answer/741 http://community.modwest.com/answer/741 I've already suggested modifying the email system, but since a lot of it is based around open source software (squirrelmail for example) we already have the opportunity to change it ourselves. The problem though is that this change will never - at the moment at least - get used on the live system. If we come up with such changes - I'm tempted to try and look at squirrelmail myself to see if it can be modified - then it would be nice if we had a way of submitting these changes to modwest and suggest that you use them. http://community.modwest.com/answer/290 http://community.modwest.com/answer/290 It would be nice that after logging in, the email box inbox opens first and not the big menu window. I only log in to view my emails. This would save me click. Sorry. I'm lazy. http://community.modwest.com/answer/967 http://community.modwest.com/answer/967 A blog application so you don't have to use blogger or Typepad. We would love to have a blog on our site but we would either have to leave our site and go to Blogger or set it up in a frame. Add a blog feature!!! YAY!! http://community.modwest.com/answer/692 http://community.modwest.com/answer/692 I'd like to be able to set individual email quotas for each mailbox to allow me to stay within my disk limit. http://community.modwest.com/answer/1046 http://community.modwest.com/answer/1046 Organizations and Government tend not to hide behind proxies and their users users usually have to sell their soul to justify their internet access which will then be monitored; so IP banning can be quiet effective. I just thought it would be useful be able to do the banning from within OnSite. http://community.modwest.com/answer/809 http://community.modwest.com/answer/809 So that the Modwest Support Team can encrypt communication that is sent to the specific customer -- usernames, passwords, ... http://community.modwest.com/answer/971 http://community.modwest.com/answer/971 I would like to be able to limit the size of attachments which will filter out large WMF files. This would need an autoresponse to the sender that the email was blocked because there is a limit of xxMB for attachments. In my business I use yousendit.com for large files. http://community.modwest.com/answer/566 http://community.modwest.com/answer/566 The site currently has the ability to tell you how much space you are using, but it would be much easier if it could also tell me what exactly was taking up so much space. Maybe display the top 10 biggest directories their size, and their path? http://community.modwest.com/answer/840 http://community.modwest.com/answer/840 You can't move a message to a folder after having read it. You have to close it, wait, and then move it. http://community.modwest.com/answer/970 http://community.modwest.com/answer/970 There are many alternative web hosting controls panels available, some are GPL. It's just an idea, but offering alternatives to proprietary CP's may draw more customers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_hosting_control_panels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_panel_(Web_hosting) http://community.modwest.com/answer/107 http://community.modwest.com/answer/107 Showing the status of a VPS within OnSite, similar to status.modwest but without the stats and with checks only being performed on login. http://community.modwest.com/answer/531 http://community.modwest.com/answer/531 It would be nice if the spam filter blacklist would default to catching subdomains. For instance, if I enter: *@spammers.com It won't catch *@smarter.spammers.com I don't want to have to go to my blacklist every time spammers.com comes up with another subdomain to enter a new entry. Also, it wouldn't make much sense to have to have two spam rules that looked like this: *@spammers.com *@*.spammers.com (if this is even valid) It seems that *@spammers.com should be enough. Maybe a checkbox to enable/disable this behavior instead of default. http://community.modwest.com/answer/583 http://community.modwest.com/answer/583 Like in a pinball game. For when I kick the machine too hard. http://community.modwest.com/answer/738 http://community.modwest.com/answer/738 Redesign the email management interface to include a less tricky nobounce forwarding solution for mail that should have no reply path http://community.modwest.com/answer/103 http://community.modwest.com/answer/103
