A Way to use file quota's on Centos 7 with XFS partitioning
We'd like support for XFS' quota management, which is managed using the xfs_quota utility; as Centos has moved from ext4 to xfs in el7.
I've searched a bit on the net and it seems impossible to do it in Plesk Onyx 17.8.

Let's Encrypt certificate for Mail server enable for all domains on server.
Currently this funciton is useless on a server with multiple domains, because the certificate is not recognized for domains different from the server one.
9 votesThis feature is already available in a different form. It is correct and expected behavior that the global mail server certificate is made out to the host name. However, you can also enable SNI on each domain. When you create or reissue an SSL certificate for the domain you can check the "Assign the certificate to the mail domain" checkbox. In the "Mail Settings" of that domain you can then select it from the "SSL/TLS certificate for mail" drop down box.

Add issuing and expiry dates somewhere within plesk panel
We use Let's Encrypt for almost all our clients on our shared server. 1 of our clients emailed us stating that his SSL was expiring soon so I hoped on the server to check and I couldn't find any info regarding issue or expiration date. I had to visit the websites frontend and check the SSL info that way. I think it would be very helpful to have that information displayed somewhere within Plesk Panel.
7 votesThe expiration date of a certificate is displayed on the "SSL" configuration page of a subscription and in Security Advisor.

plesk login command for users
Generate a link to connect to an user (not the admin account) account via plesk login command
3 votesThe command "plesk login" has a parameter "username" so you can simply add the customer account name to it to create an individual login link for that account that will get you directly in the account. Example:
# plesk login myusername

Faster Interface
I'm totally a plesk fan. But there's only one thing wich I like more at cpanel than plesk. cPanels admin interface is faster. When I add a domain it instantly adds it, without showing a loading animation on the button and redirecting me after ~5 seconds. What If plesk redirects you isntantly, but processes in the background? That will give the user a faster feeling.
15 votesRegarding Plesk interface speed I would like to recommend you to compare speed on old Plesk versions and 17.8 where php7 is used instead of php5, for example:
- plesk version
Product version: Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 Update #42 - /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php -v
PHP 5.6.30 (cli) (built: Sep 12 2017 11:11:16)
- plesk version
Product version: Plesk Onyx 17.8.10 - /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php -v
PHP 7.1.14 (cli) (built: Feb 9 2018 14:36:24) ( NTS )
The speed of Plesk interface was dramatically increased in latest Plesk version.

Add simple subdomain for plesk (IIS-Binding)
At the moment it is not possible to define one or multiply simple subdomains to access plesk direct. At the moment a client has to user https://www.domain.com:8443 to login.
In IIS it is possible to add a binding like plesk.domain.com SSL so a client can directly access by https://plesk.domain.com without portnumber...
As soon a Plesk-Update is installed, this manually added binding is no more working. Therefore and because to extend Plesk with this feature, it is neccessary to add this function directly into plesk.
6 votesVerified that you can have a custom domain (or subdomain) as the Plesk login URL since Plesk Obsidian for Linux and Windows. Simply go to Tools & Settings > General > Customize Plesk URL to select an option or to enter your custom URL.

code editor search
It would be nice to have a search function within the Code Editor. I often need to find a specific line code, and it usually have to read each line. So to have a search within the editor would be nice. (The Web browser search does not work within the editor.)
5 votesAdded in Plesk 17.8. Just press Cmd+F on Mac or Ctrl+F on Windows.

Mail-Only Plesk server
Like DNS only c* servers, Plesk can provide a Mail-Only - Plesk Server. This will help all those who like to distribute server services' load across multiple servers. I'm aware that one can simply install the whole plesk in a separate server and run just mail service alone.
34 votesThis feature request has had a lot of attention from us for a long while. It's been going on and off with good reasons for declining and some reasons to keep it open. However, we see a very limited number of votes through all the years that this topic has been on, even though we had merged similar requests into it to accumulate more votes.
There are still no plans to have a "mail-only" license type, and the functionality can very easily be achieved already by simply spinning up a separate Plesk and only using mail on it, but no websites.
Summing all the pros and cons up and seeing the low number of interest in this feature through the years, at this time it appears best and most transparent to users to decline the request as "already available" - because as a matter of fact: Users can indeed only…

Synchronize Plesk Servers (Failover)
Keep two (or more) Plesk servers in sync for a failover scenario.
Migration Manager only allows manual "sync"1,575 votesAlthough the implemented solution differs from the initial demand, we are closing the request as "already available”. We have thoroughly investigated the idea to solve the redundancy issue using a Plesk cluster. Our research has proved that this solution is not in step with the times, is no longer demanded by our partners, and has its limitations. We would like to give an explanation of each point.
More than nine years ago, when the request was created, the IT world had already begun to change. Previously, partners and customers bought or rented bare-metal servers and organized them in data centers. If the servers did not have sufficient component redundancy, there was a risk that a power supply or hard drive failure would lead to service downtime. However, a synchronized failover server could save hosting from such problems. But since then, hosting infrastructure has changed significantly. These days, public clouds are…

Make subdomain email addresses possible without new subscription
It's incredibly annoying that you have to setup a subscription solely for each subdomain that you want to create email addresses for. Please fix this.
323 votesThis functionality is now available in the latest Plesk Onyx 17.9 Preview 7 (https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/onyx/change-log/#contents-179-preview7).

Please visit the following forum thread to learn how to access the preview: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/plesk-onyx-17-9-preview.348675/page-2#post-855221
We would appreciate hearing your feedback on the implementation of this functionality. Thanks in advance!

Allow non-standard FTP port to be used for backup to FTP Repository.
Currently only the default FTP port (21) is allowed for backup to FTP repository. Other ports are simply not working and produce error messages. However port 21 is not secure so I always use alternate ports for my FTP servers like 2121. I am not the only one, see;
http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?258384-Plesk-backup-to-FTP-Repository-on-custom-port-not-working&p=698712#post698712I think we all would really appreciate if it would be possible to use other FTP ports than just 21.
62 votesGreat news, everyone – this feature is already available in Plesk 12.0 (specify IP:port or domain:port in FTP server hostname). Let us know on our forum if you experience any issues with it.

Be able to disable mail forward for customers (to avoid being blacklisted as spam are fowarded)
Regularly I have report of being spamming on a server and often due to users forwarding mails to another server. Being blocked by google due to that while actually you are not spamming with the server is not fun to handle.
So, I would love to be able to block a mail forward or limit it to local domains at max.
11 votesThe request has not become popular for an integration by Plesk, but a third-party extension became available by which the same feature can be achieved: https://ext.plesk.com/packages/ec2b4f20-8bec-4364-9914-7275b4e45398-internalmailforwardingonly#!

Starting Plesk 11.5, a change in DNS template can be applied to all domains exactly for this purpose. My understanding is that you tried older version
