Smarthost per domain configuration & enablement
At the moment, it is possible to configure Smarthost in Plesk on a server level and enable it for all domains at once.
However, there can be cases where I need to enable configured Smarthost for some specific domains only, with all the other emails flow via the default mail system.
Another example is that when I, as an admin, configured Smarthost on a server level and want to provide my customers & resellers with an ability to enable this Smarthost ad hoc.

Limited service plans for resellers
Resellers can now create their own service plans. It would be a good addition that resellers can only use predefined service plans, so that hosting providers have more control on eg. CPU and memory allocation.

Add possibility to set the predefined value for "Plugin/theme set" in WordPress Toolkit
At the moment if we try to create a new WordPress instance in WP Toolkit, the value for "Plugin/theme set" will be set as None
Please add a possibility to define a specific value for "Plugin/theme set" instead of None
13 votesThank you for your suggestion. Please provide us with more details on what exactly the end goal is here?
If you want to add a predefined set to an existing WordPress installation, this is already possible > Sets tab, find the required set, and click on Install Set in the corresponding ‘…’ dropdown menu
If that's not what you are after, please provide us with as much information as possible in order for us to get better understanding on how such a feature will be beneficial for Plesk users.
Thank you in advance.

Send expiration notification emails when it’s time to renew an SSL certificate
Hi,
I received this mail from Let's Encrypt :
"As a Let’s Encrypt Subscriber, you benefit from access to free, automated TLS certificates. One way we have supported Subscribers is by sending expiration notification emails when it’s time to renew a certificate.
We’re writing to inform you that we intend to discontinue sending expiration notification emails."
Since Plesk manager knows the "Valid to" date (it displays it in the "SSL/TLS Certificate for domain_name" page, I guess that it could send the notification emails too by regularly checking that date.
Regards

Prevent Postfix from modifying "From" Header for authenticated users.to mail address that doesn't belong to them
An authenticated SMTP user (e.g., user1@example.com) is able to send emails with a different "Mail From" address (such as user2@example.com), even though both addresses belong to the same domain. This behavior is undesired, as it allows users to impersonate other valid users within the domain.
Our goal is to prevent this kind of spoofing by enforcing a match between the authenticated SMTP identity and the actual sender address.

Add a configurable option in Plesk to retain the existing private key when renewing a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate
Add a configurable option in Plesk to retain the existing private key when re-issuing or renewing a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate.
This would be useful in environments where DANE/TLSA support is enabled. Retaining the same private key ensures that TLSA records (e.g., type 3 1 1) remain valid across certificate renewals. This is critical for maintaining secure SMTP delivery and avoiding disruption in DNSSEC-enabled domains.

Backup manager: Include Docker Volumes
Some of my dockers are inside the sites' folders, inside httpd, but some have different permissions or user groups that sometimes do not allow the volume to be backed up, an example was postgresql, you can test, if there is even one advice on how you could add permission to the user or the system that makes the backup so that they can copy the files, for example.
Furthermore, it would be great to get a backup of the container volumes, I believe this would make pleks the only one and come out ahead of the other panels.

Option to disable image optimization in Sitejet galleries
Currently, Sitejet galleries apply automatic image optimization including resizing and cropping. While this works well for most use cases, it introduces issues for specific workflows where image quality is critical — for example, high-resolution photography or imported images that were already optimized.
We suggest adding a checkbox to disable image optimization per gallery image, similar to how the “Optimized” toggle is being considered for regular image elements. This would allow developers and designers more control over the final output.3 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it becomes popular.

Enable dynamic IP restriction in IIS for newly created domains
Dynamic IP restriction in IIS is useful to restrict IPs to certain connection rate limits, for example during DDoS attacks. Enabling the feature on newly created domains could be useful.

Independent Bandwidth and Storage Measurement
Implement a built-in method to measure bandwidth and storage utilization in Plesk without relying on third-party analytics modules like Webalizer or AWStats.
This feature would optimize performance by reducing CPU and IOPS usage, allowing users to disable these optional modules while still accurately tracking pure traffic (bandwidth) and storage metrics directly within Plesk.

Add CLI Support in WP Toolkit to Apply Security Measures (e.g., disable XML-RPC)
Currently, WordPress Toolkit in Plesk does not support applying security measures (such as blocking access to xmlrpc.php) via CLI.
This limits automation and scalability, especially for hosting providers managing multiple WordPress installations.
Please consider adding CLI options to apply specific security measures—similar to what’s available in the UI and API—for improved scripting and bulk management capabilities.

Integrate SmarterMail features directly into Plesk
Consider the possibility of integrating certain SmarterMail administration features directly into the Plesk interface.
For example, allow users to manage spam filters and safe senders from Plesk, without needing to access SmarterMail.3 votes -
Add Full Two-Way Synchronization with SmarterMail
When a user with administrator permissions creates an email account directly in SmarterMail, it is not synchronized with Plesk.
As a result, the account is not displayed in the Plesk interface, which creates confusion and makes centralized management difficult.Ensure that any email account created or modified in SmarterMail is automatically synchronized with Plesk, and vice versa.
This would ensure consistent management and avoid discrepancies between both platforms.3 votes -

Unable to select “All” domains in Plesk: Option missing from dropdown
In Plesk, the "All" option for selecting domains on the Domains page is hidden when the number of domains exceeds 500.
While this improves performance, some administrators require the ability to select and print all domains and aliases.
It would be helpful to make this behavior configurable — e.g., via panel.ini or a toggle — for experienced admins on high-performance servers.2 votes -

Add subscription-level option to separate mail and hosting IP addresses
It is possible to choose a specific IP address for mail server-wide. This option should be available at the subscription level, so each individual subscription can choose a dedicated IP address for mail without affecting the others, and without having to change the IP address used for hosting.
