  1. allow for custom firewall rules

    currently you can do it by IP/Port, but would like to be able to add firewall rules for things like string matching. A GUI would be ideal too.

  2. Sort email accounts by size of stored data

    Sort email accounts by size of stored data.
    Currently the email accounts can only be sorted alphabetically by mail address. It would be helpful to sort by size of space used.

  3. Can set "Preferred domain" setting in the "Service Plans"

    In the "Service Plans" part, there is no option for setting the "Preferred domain" (seoRedirectDirection).
    it is very inconvenience, because we need to set the "Preferred domain" (seoRedirectDirection) again and again after created the site.
    It is possible to add this setting in the "Service Plans" part?

  4. Add event handlers per domain for switching mail service on/off

    It'd be really useful to be able to call handlers for when the mail service for a domain is switched on/off. The only variable needed is probably the domain name. The on/off handlers should be available for both domain and subdomain.

  5. chroot environment improvements

    1. Manage chroot environments from panel web interface
    2. Add custom user scripts for install\remove chroot for domain
    3. Sync files with system automatically, f.e. /etc/resolv.conf and other.
    4. Link database servers socket into chroot for correct mysql psql command working.

  6. Multiple DNS Templates

    Having multiple DNS Templates, ideally selectable in a Service Plan, would add a great deal of flexibility in Plesk. For example, we have one type of Subscription that involves external store-and-forward mail servers for email backup. When a customer selects this type of Service Plan we have to manually adjust the DNS records to point to the appropriate mailservers. So it would be great if we could define multiple DNS Templates, then select the appropriate template in the appropriate Service Plan.

  7. Add Aliases for Subdomains

    You are currently not able to Alias a subdomain through plesk. Instead you must create the subdomain as a primary if you wish to alias it. In many situations it would make sense from an organizational standpoint to keep the subdomain under a main domain while still adding aliases to it. I do not believe this is a technical restriction of the webservers so it would be helpful if plesk allowed you to add aliases to subdomains.

  8. Enable chrooted sftp for more than one user per account

    If I use FTP, I can make as many users as I want. For various reasons, using FTP is not optimal at my workplace. I'd like to be able to let each ftp user I create log in with chrooted sftp.

    I'm able to modify /etc/passwd and /var/www/vhosts/example.org/etc/passwd to make it work, but doing that manually kind of defeats the point of using a tool like Plesk...

    Specifically, I give the ftp user the same home directory, and shell as the initial sftp user has in each passwd file.

  12. download subscriptions, customers, domains, email to csv (excel)

    On any given Plesk screen where there is a list of items like domains or email addresses add a Download as CSV button. This makes comparing items for discrepancy easier. I have seen several Cpanel versions that have this ability.

  13. Let Plesk use certificates configured on a domain

    Currently users are able to configure SSL certificates on their domain, and when using SNI this works like a charm. However, these certifcates are not used for the Plesk interface.

    It would be great that when a user adds a certificate for https://www.example.com/ it would also add these certificates (using SNI) to the Plesk server, so that https://www.example.com:8443/ would result in having a valid certificate.

    Currently website certificates are not propagated to the Plesk interface.

  14. Add limits to backup scheduling

    We have some users abusing the Plesk backup functionality. For example, they schedule hourly backups with sites that are multiple gigabytes in size. When we have a couple of those users, our servers are running scheduled backups all day causing 100% IO-wait load.

    It would be great if Administrator can limit the frequency of user backups, eg. a limit of once a day, once a week, once a month.

    We currently disable user backup functionality to prevent our machines running backups all day.

  16. bring back "modify multiple mailbox settings"

    as per:
    http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?290993-missing-feature-change-multiple-email-settings

    In 9.5.4 it was possible to select multiple mailboxes and change their settings simultaneusly.
    This is now suposed to be done through subscription plans, but there are certain settings not contemplated.

    For example, in a 300+ mailboxes domain I want to change each mailbox antispam setting to "move spam to spam folder" and this is not possible though the panel and I need to make a script to do it through shell.

    I would like this feature to come back, like it was in 9.5.4

  17. add the possibility to write a description to an IP

    It could be a good idea that I can write a note to each IP pointing to my server in Config > IP Addresses.

    I have some IPs used for SSL certificates, for example. I'd like to write a note to these IPs like "used for domain SSL certificate"

  18. subscription wide mailbox size

    For example(now) a subscription has:
    - 10 Mailboxes
    - Maximum mailbox size of 100MB
    So the maximum disk usage would be 1GB. but there are 2 LIMITATIONS here. first the client can't make more then 10 mailboxes.
    Second the maximum size of an mailbox is 100MB. You can make them smaller but that is useless.

    a subscription wide mailbox size can remove these restrictions and so greatly increase the flexibility for the client. For example the subscription wide mailbox size of 1GB and maximum of 5(or unlimited) mailboxes.

    the client wants:
    info@domain.tld: 600MB(is logic since an info@domain is much…

  19. Add hMailserver as mailserver again

    Advantages of hMailserver are:
    - IMAP
    - SSL (not available in free version of MailEnable)
    - DKIM is easy to enable
    - VBS scripts/API for management

    Please submit other specific advantages in comments

  20. Ability to migrate accounts from one plesk node to another

    It would save huge amounts of time if the admin using the customers plesk account credentials was able to migrate the whole account from the previous hoster without needing to have root access to the server like you can do in cpanel. In order to migrate plesk customers from other companies you need to do it manually !
