It would be great if you use one of the templates if that would become an initial commit / fork to the associated git publish credentials

allow users to schedule background task, but not just hourly, daily or every minute but whatever the user wants, like cron

Add a feature to connect to remote shared SQL server and download the database to gearhost so we can avoid uploading large databases via ADSL

Add a button for generating ado.net connection string for at least MS SQL. Currently user needs to piece together scattering information on Databases page.

Currently if one wants a subdomain, you have to create a new "Domain' from the Domains panel. It would be better to allow wildcard A records so that subdomains don't have to be explicitly created in DNS.

It would be nice if I could FTP a .bak file to my webroot or /data/ folder and do a restore on the database from that location.

FTP is better at session management for large transfers than HTTP is and this will avoid customer timeout issues restoring databases.

I'd actually love to see a backup system with self-managed restores available

It would be great to allow you to rename a cloud site. It would also be great to make a copy of an existing site into a new (or existing) site. For example to make a QA/test link from an existing production site, or be able to go the other way as needed as well.

When administering my web page and database, I have questions about various elements of the UI (such as what "Memory usage" really means, and why it resets after a period of time). Unfortunately, I don't see any links on screen to refer to documentation for the various pages.

IP based SSL instead of SNI SSL for older devices

A "scale by metric" option which auto-scales the site according to CPU usage.

Be able to move a domain from one CloudSite to another.

Show the IP address you need to change in DNS not only under domains, but also under CloudSites so it's easier to find. The shared IP, separate from the dedicated.
