  1. Set a limit for forwarding domains in Service Plan settings

    At the moment, it is only possible to limit the number of all domains in Service Plan settings, regardless of their hosting type.

    Please provide a way to set a limit on the domains with the "Forwarding" type.

  2. In-place dist-upgrade Windows Servers

    It would be nice if Plesk support such functionality. That help to avoid migrations to new server with higher version of OS. This request created to not mix up with certain (and outdated suggestion from here: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/15631494-in-place-dist-upgrade-windows-server-2008-r2-to)

  3. Update the monitorc utility provided in Watchdog to a newer version

    The current monit version provided by Watchdog is 4.6 and this version provides an outdated monitorc utility because it doesn't support the "exec" parameter.

    Error: Unable to process /usr/local/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/monitrc.tpl configuration file:
    /usr/local/psa/var/modules/watchdog/data/monitrc.chk:42: Error: syntax error 'exec'

    Please, update Watchdog so we can integrate a better monitoring system.

  4. support BTRFS or ZFS filesystem

    Support the usage of a BTRFS (or ZFS) filesystem so that administrators could take advantage of several new features like taking snapshots, using storage pools, ...
    I've currently tested Plesk against BTRFS and ZFS but Plesk does at least support no quotas on this filesystems so that we can not use them as quotas are mandatory.

  5. to add an ability to hide warning about "The DNS zone was modified"

    Please add an ability to hide the following warning in case the changes were applied to a particular domain intentionally:

    Warning: The DNS zone was modified. If you would like to apply changes in the DNS template to this zone, either click the 'Apply DNS Template Changes' button on this page or go to the Server Administration Panel > Tools & Settings > DNS Template Settings > Apply DNS Template Changes and choose the 'Apply the changes to all zones' option.

  6. Using LDAP with Mail server

    The LDAP Auth extension only allows enabling LDAP authentication to Plesk. Can you allow end-users to use outlook/thunderbird/webmail with the password stored in the Active Directory?

    In this case, the mail server has to be configured via Plesk to use the LDAP authentication.

    The ctrl-F feature provides a search function, but there is no search and replace that I can find. I'd like the file editor to have the same editing functions as notepad++.

  9. Permissions for SEO-safe 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS management

    It would be nice for the users to be able to enable or disable:

    "Permanent SEO-safe 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS"

    option in their panel.
    Instead of setting it in the service plan, give to the user the permission to manage this feature.

  10. Limiting access to Plesk panel by specifying the allowed dst addresses

    It is required to control the accessibility of the Plesk panel by having an option to permit access only by the specified server's IP's. For example:
    Let's say there are 172.16.1.10 & 172.16.1.11 IPs on the server both assigned with a domain name panel.example.com.
    Option "Specified domain" is set in Tools&Settings > Customize Plesk URL.
    Any other IP address on that should NOT serve the login procedure.

    However, when this server has a full subnet 172.16.1.32/27 added as the secondary IP addresses, it is possible to open any of them via the Web Browser, afterward press "Log in to Plesk"…

  11. add functionality for pre-install checker to check supported components and prohibit installation on case unsupported components are found

    It would be great to not have an ability to install Plesk on a system that is using a component (database server, e.x.) that is not supported by the Plesk version.
    Please consider implementing the functionality of the pre-install checking of unsupported components. It can prevent issues with Plesk on the servers with unsupported software.
    Such an idea has already been provided once, however, it was too specific (for database servers only): https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/20166910-prohibit-installation-on-unsupported-databases.

  12. clean temp folder daily windows servers

    Windows Servers (Plesk) become slower when the c:\windows\temp folder has thousands of files in it even if you have SSDs as IIS will have to load all those files each time it loads a website or does a task.
    This folder seems to have thousands of .spamassassin files aswell as thousands of PHP sessions files and its not always a permission issue.

    To ensure this does not occur we created a daily scheduled task to use ForFiles app on windows server to clear it each night. This improves speed dramatically.

    We recommend Plesk consider creating this in the panel of…

  14. Allow configuring Smart Updates to check process such as Checkout

    Allow configuring Smart Updates to check process such as the Checkout when Wordpress is used as an online store (WooCommerce) so it ensures that performing the upgrade won't break the checkout process from beginning to end.

    And/Or allow the ability to configure custom testing scenarios.

  15. Replace IP on the server interface

    "/usr/local/psa/bin/reconfigurator" utility adds new IP to interface and assigns all subscriptions to it.

    Old IP still can be pinged and Rereaded in Plesk.
    It's needed to remove this IP manually from the interface.
    It's good to have a feature to remove old IP automatically(IP replacement).

  16. Introduce new event parameters when a Wordpress instance is created

    Introduce new event parameters passed by Event Handlers that will differentiate full domain and full subdomain name when handling WordPress instance creation.

    For example: at the moment, ${NEWDOMAINNAME} variable will hold full name for subdomain when processing WordPress instance creation event and it would be helpful to have ${PARENTDOMAINNAME} variable for such case

  18. Make "command Z" in Codeeditor possible again after saving.

    Hello
    Before your last update was installed, it was possible to go back in the code editor with "Command Z". Nowadays it is only possible to go back to the last save point. It used to be possible to go back to the point at which the file was opened.
    Can you make that happen again?
    Thanks in advance.

  19. Extend the possibility to manage Client permissions via CLI

    Currently, in Plesk it is possible to manage general permissions for customers via Plesk Panel or CLI. Sometimes it is necessary to manage Client permissions in more precise way in command line.
    Please add the feature to hide/show separate menus via CLI, e.g. enable/disable such menus separately:
    -Web Hosting Access
    -SSL/TLS certificates
    -Limit Outgoing Messages
    Also, it would be useful to restrict access to edit separate paragraphs such as:
    -Hosting Settings> Certificate
    -Hosting Settings>Web statistics (Protect access to your web statistics with your FTP username and password)
