  1. Add ability to manage NAT rules by Plesk Firewall.

    Native Linux tool iptable has the ability to add custom NAT rules, however when Plesk Firewall is used these rules are flushed, so it is not possible to use Plesk Firewall + NAT rules by iptables.

    Due to this adding possibility to manage NAT rules via Plesk Firewall would be a great extension, making configuration manageable via Plesk graphical interface.

  2. Ability to enable "Serve static files directly by nginx" by default.

    It would be nice if, in general, I could enable "Serve static files directly by nginx" by default in Service Plans > Web Server.

    This would also have the added side effect of solving the problem where the default Plesk web site page is blank when PageSpeed is enabled.

  3. Changing soa serial format by using the XML RPC API

    It is possible to set the soa serial format either over the Plesk Panel or the command line, f.e.

    /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --update-soa <domain_name|domain_alias_name> -soa-serial-format timestamp|yyyymmddnn

    However, the XML RPC API should provide a possibility to change the soa serial format, too. Currenlty, the XML RPC API only allows to manipulate the values for the SOA's ttl, refresh, retry, expire and minimum.

  4. change domain alias

    when i have a domain alias (lets say alias.com) for domain test.com and i want to change the alias to test2.com, if have to delete the alias and recreate it.
    if i have many custom dns records in the alias, i have to create them again manually.
    it should be possible to just change the aliases "main-domain"

  6. Add Keyfile Option to Migration Manager

    In Migration Manager we need to provide a root user and password so that Plesk can access the source server. But providers like Amazon do not give you a root password by default. It would be great to have an option to upload the key file for the migration. Plesk could save it for future sessions, or offer to delete it after the migration.

  7. More control over IPs used in IIS for site hosting.

    Sites in Plesk can have only one IP address assigned; this IP must the the same for FTP, HTTP, etc. A change to allow more flexibility should be easy to implement (e.g., allow 'all unassigned'), so sites running on Plesk can be used in load balanced scenario's, e.g. when running Plesk on a cloud server.

  8. PLESK performance optimization

    Please optimize the plesk panel in terms of database performance, apache and nginx. I tested a few free panels and they fared much better in terms of performance than the plesk panel. So something's up. Tested in the same environment. Regards

  9. 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.

    Since Plesk 18.0.46 Nginx is shipped with GeoIP module. Please see https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/website-management/websites-and-domains/extended-website-management/plesk-for-linux-setting-up-ip-geolocation-for-a-website.80011/


    While this feature request is asking for an Apache module, we are wondering whether this is still needed as the same goals can be achieved with Nginx GeoIP in a much better way with less server resources. 

    Please comment in this feature request why you still need the Apache GeoIP module.

  12. fetch_url.ps1 should support cookies

    %PLESK_DIR%\Additional\Scheduler\fetch_url.ps1 script should support cookies.

    Currently, if a URL, you fetch with it, sets a cookie (and tries to read it back ? - not sure about this part tho), it fails due to the $webRequest object not having a CookieContainer.

    Just add two lines into the script before calling GetResponse():
    $cookieContainer = New-Object -TypeName 'System.Net.CookieContainer'
    $webRequest.CookieContainer = $cookieContainer

  14. Ability to customize Password Reminder email

    Currently while it is possible to customize notifications body, there is no way to customize email sent when you click on Forgot password button on logging into Plesk. It would be nice to have ability to customize it as well: as I would like to add into this email my branding, images etc.

  18. Add debug symbols for nginx builds

    We have a customer using plesk and nginx. The customer wants to use our APM tool also for monitoring nginx, but in order to get deep monitoring we need the debug symbols for nginx.

    The customer is currently using package sw-nginx-1.9.4-rhel6.15091112.x86_64.rpm. The contained nginx binary does not contain debug symbols and we also could not find a corresponding “dbg” package in the repository. Are the debug symbols publicly available somewhere else? If not, can you please provide them?

    It would be perfect if you can add the debug symbols for every nginx version in future to your repository as APM…

  19. Disk usage information for subdomains and additional domains via interface.

    • Be able to review the real disk usage of the subdomain instead only the total.

    As for now, Plesk only shows the total of the disk usage on the main domain as eg:

    Example.com total usage is 2GB
    1.example.com Total usage is 10GB
    2.example.com total usage is 10GB

    Plesk interface only shows the total value under the main domain, in this example case: 22GB, instead show the usage separately.
