  2. Add option to Whitelist IP in Fail2Ban and mod_security

    I always need to whitelist IPs in Firewall, Fail2Ban and mod_security.

    u could add at least an option to also whitelist fail2ban in mod_security or even make two checkboxes in Firewall whitelisting to whitelist ip in all three modules.

    also usage of dns instead of ip would be greate for example PayPal does recomment to whitelist dns for api!

  3. Enable SSH Key Generate via Plesk Control Panel

    With the SSH Manager inside Plesk Onyx, it is extremely easy to add a new key to a subscription. The problem is, most users don't understand how to generate a key with tools like PuTTYgen and explaining it to them leaves them very confused. It would be very handy if, inside the SSH manager there was a way to request a new key pair be generated and added to a subscription automatically, so users don't have to go through the hassle of generating a key.

  5. Migrate AWStats customizations

    Currently any customization made into AWStats configuration files (for domain /usr/local/psa/etc/awstats/* or server-wide /etc/awstats/awstats.conf), for example, language changing are not migrated. It would be nice feature to add ability to migrate such settings, so that users do no have to turn it back manually

  6. Deny access to all dot files by default

    A lot of web applications that are either built or simply installed on a website use dot files and folders, whether those be .htaccess, .git, .env, etc.

    Generally speaking dot files and folders are used to store either sensitive files or backend configuration which you would never want users to be able to access.

    By default Apache has some protection built-in to restrict accessing dot files, but Nginx does not. This creates a potential security risk, for example I might install a web application or build one which has dot files in the public root, these most likely would be…

  7. Passenger to log output separately per domain basis

    Currently all passenger NodeJS process output their logs to /var/log/apache2/error.log.

    Would be good to be able to log output separately per domain basis, so every domain has it own log inside the folder.

  8. deny access to .git folder by default

    I think it would be great if you could prevent access to .git folders that are usually left exposed by users in the server when building the vhost templates .

    It's very common that users forget to remove credentials and other sensitive information out of their repositories so by leaving the folder exposed it's possible for an attacker to gain access to this sensitive information.

    Currently we manually protect those folders when we spot them but it would be nice if this was implemented from the start.

    For example in nginx the following rule could be used.

    location ~ /.git…

  12. Hide "Location of the website's files" field when there is just one subscription.

    In most cases, our customers have only one subscription, on which mostly several domains run.

    If another domain is added via the "Add Domain" dialog, the dropdown field "Location of the website's files" appears in the form.

    This makes absolute sense if a customer has several subscriptions. However, if the customer only has one subscription, this is very confusing.

    We are often asked by our customers, if the existing data of the other domain (main domain as subscription) is overwritten, because it is not obvious to the customer that he has only one subscription and the value in the field…

  16. Event manager: Add a hook before an event is processed

    Hello all,
    I hope this idea can be shared with many of you.

    Actually in the Events manager you can handle a task, an action you can run AFTER the event occurs. Can be really usefull to have the same BEFORE, I'm going to explain:

    Make an example can be when a Subscription or a Domain is going to be removed from the hosting server, can be really usefull to backup data or something else similar before the task is executed.

    At moment is impossible to handle a task before an event occurs, we hope can be usefull for other…

  17. Plesk admin control panel warning if any mailbox is reaching limits

    Presently, I normally learn that a client has a full mailbox when they call with email issue. I am thinking it would be nice if when I login the Plesk admin control panel, it would be nice if a small area could show if any mailboxes were at 95% or great capacity. Maybe call it Mail Level Monitor. Then if I could decide to up the level, or contact the client to talk about mail client settings & mail management. A proactive approach.

  18. Ability to create custom MX records via DNS Templates with <domain> placeholder in the middle

    Ability to create custom MX records via DNS Templates with <domain> placeholder in the middle of the value.

    For example, currently, it is not possible to create a record via DNS Templates:
    <domain>. MX mx.<domain>.example.com

    It can be useful for setting up an external mail service with a hostname based on a domain name.

  20. Restore PostgreSQL databases that has some objects owned by postgres user from Plesk Backup

    It would be great to have an ability to restore PostgreSQL databases that has some objects owned by postgres user from Plesk Backup. As of now, backup is created without any errors, however it is not possible to restore the database because restoration is done not in behalf of postgres user.

    Or at least have a warning when backup is created that I have to restore the database as a postgres user from the command line and do not rely on backup of the database created via backup manager.
