  4. Option to add site description

    Problem: I have 5 sites with a random name that were created a week ago. Now I don't remember why each one was created. Solutoin: A description field below the URL. I could explain the purpose of a site like "Testing Woo shipping options" or "Testing theme update".

  6. Suspend an InstaWP site

    Sometimes when we move a client from InstaWP to our production service we aren't quite ready to nuke everything on InstaWP. I'd like to be able to suspend the site (or redirect it from the dashboard) without deleting it while we wait for it to expire.

  7. Lock site for maximum security

    Simple brochure sites are primarily static, and don't need dynamic functions. Most of them require only a contact form, which can be taken care of by a third-party service. For these types of sites, an option to completely lock both the database and the file system would minimize maintenance and prevent security issues altogether, bringing complete peace of mind for clients and developers. Rocket.net implemented this feature recently, and it works well.

  8. Website should have a settings to disable all Plugins.

    It would be great if the website owner could disable all installed plugins. If any unexpected errors occur, this setting will assist users in recovering the website.

  10. Activity Logs for Connected Sites

    You will be able to switch on Activity logs for your connected websites (i.e our https://wordpress.org/plugins/instawp-connect/ plugin is installed). This will allow websites to send critical logs like plugin deactivated, admin user created to your email or slack (or other integrations).

  11. Staging - Provide an option to select the primary admin user for Magic Login

    At the moment, the first admin user account seems to be used for Magic login after for staging sites. There should ideally be a dropdown to select which admin user account is to be used.
