Allow SSL on Free CloudSite
enable SSL for free plan
29 votesThe Free CloudSite is not meant to be used in production. A Free CloudSite has limited resources, concurrent connections, features, etc. As such it would be useless to allow SSL on the Free CloudSite plan. While it could benefit some sites GearHost needs to have a way to encourage users to upgrade to paid plans.

Allow restore to existing SQL database
Presently restore does not allow an existing database to be restored. The existing database must be deleted first; then the page must be refreshed;, then when restore is clicked the page requests the database name. At that point the name of the existing database (which was just deleted) must be entered and then restore takes place.
21 votesDatabases can be restored however as mentioned you must first delete the existing database then restore from backup upon creation. Doing this from an existing database is the exact same process however to keep our interface clean we keep the restore feature only on creation.

ASP.NET 6/vNext
Would be really handy if there was an option for ASP.NET 6/vNext on the free package. Obviously being still in development it should only be used for dev purposes. But it would be really great to be able to test out the solutions i am working on.

Make unlimited bandwidth
Make unlimited bandwidth
12 votesUnlimited bandwidth in hosting is not real. We offer ample amounts of bandwidth and customers don’t have issues with it so we would rather do that as there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth.

Don't charge for sites that are stopped
When a site is created, but in a "stopped" state, don't charge for that site. This would be beneficial for the following situations:
1) A user creates a site for testing and experimentation purposes but only wants to use it when actively working on it. The user stops the site and the resources get de-allocated so the user is not charged.
2) A user creates a secondary site to use as a staging area to ensure the code functions properly on GearHost prior to publishing it to the production site. After verification, the user stops the staging site and is…

FTP connection to remote host
It would be nice to create an ftp connection to my old host so I can migrate my files via a direct connection rather than involve a 3rd computer in the transfer.

Allowing the user to change the timezone of the database
I wanted to change the timezone on the database, but I couldn't. Other than that, you are a great host.
3 votesI am not sure what you mean. You cannot change the time zone information as no host would allow this. Your code should always be programmed to not be reliant on the host time zone so that you can change the location without any code changes.

phpMyAdmin
PHPMyAdmin CloudSite by Default
2 votesWe allow customers to install phpMyAdmin on their own but there are no plans to include a phpMyAdmin that is maintained by GearHost. Our recommended method is to use the approved MySQL tools, phpMyAdmin is not one of them. For further details please see https://www.gearhost.com/documentation/connect-to-a-mysql-database.

Use pending credits earned by referrals for paying the bills
In my case:
I owe you 6, but you owe me 25 and my account still got locked down...1 voteWhat you see is the pending referral balance. Everyone you refer gets $10 in credit. Once they’ve accumulated $25 in billings, you get $25. There is no limit on the amount of credit you can earn through referrals.
