Hello,

One major limitation with multi-tenant web setups is the CWP 8-character account name restriction. When managing multiple subdomains and tenant environments, it quickly becomes very difficult to create meaningful and distinguishable account names within such a small limit. We are using domains that have three or four or more sub levels which is perfectly normal for enterprise solutions.

What makes this even more frustrating is that Linux systems have supported longer account names for years, so this restriction feels unnecessarily outdated in modern hosting environments. There are historic forum requests to increase this limit however it has never been implemented.

It would be extremely useful to have the ability to rename account names after creation, as well as change the associated account domain. While it is technically possible to create a new account and migrate everything over, that process feels unnecessarily time-consuming and wasteful for what should be a simple administrative task. And it involves website downtime and engineer resources.

I’ve also read in the forum that CWP UI is getting a major redesign. If that is the case, it would be great to know whether improvements like longer account names, account renaming, and domain reassignment are being considered as part of that update. These kinds of changes would make a significant difference for anyone managing multi-tenant or multi-subdomain environments at scale.

Greater flexibility around account naming and domain management would significantly improve usability for agencies, developers, and hosting providers alike. And for those that are security conscious I'm not talking about making the account name the same as the domain name which is usually considered a security risk.

Thanks
