Nginx-only hostings (without Apache component installed on Plesk)
Hi,
It seems some Plesk users would like to have the ability to install Plesk without the Apache component (apache-free, nginx-only setup).
We do not clearly understand cases when it is required. Why using "Nginx-Only Hosting" (https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/customer-guide/72320/#nginx-only-hosting) on a per-website base is not an option (which also provides more flexibility)? Could you please let us know how this feature should work in terms of workflow, in your opinion? We welcome any feedback and would be happy to receive examples to investigate the question in more detail.2 votesThank you for your idea. Could you tell us which scenarios you want to enable with this functionality?

Provide migration licenses 24/7, not only on workdays
Often times migrations are done on weekends. I'd like to be able to get a migration license as described in https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12388069544215-How-to-get-Plesk-Web-Host-edition-trial-license-for-migration at any time. The current workflow where this can only be requested and handled on weekdays during business hours can block my own workflow, e.g. when I have and emergency and absolutely must migrate.

bun
Support for https://bun.sh/ with passanger
12 votesThank you for your idea. At this time, the Node.js drop-in replacement "bun" is in a development stage. There is still lots of work to do and bun does not yet have any significant market share. There are also no signs that a broader community is using this instead of Node.js.
Maybe this will change in the future. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Webhook-URL should respond with a 405 HTTP response
The Git plugin does a great job in creating Webhook-URLs. If the Webhook is opened from a browser e.g. a GET request the service responses with HTTP-Status 404. A proper response would 405 Method not allowed.
Rationale:
It would make it possible to test if the generated URL and the service is working.Currently my hoster has an configuration issue in Plesk, also GItHub shows a 404 response but it is not possible for me to distinguish between a bonafide hoster problem (configuration) or a Plesk problem wrong URL generated.

Custom HTTP methods on Windows Servers
Only when Plesk creates a website will it create this entry at the website level in IIS in the handler mappings, pointing to this file "php-cgi.exe"
There is no PHP handler in the IIS root that allows me to configure the allowed verbs and that can be propagated to websites.
When Plesk creates a website, it has a set of settings that it applies to the website, which includes the creation of the handler to interpret .php files, the path of the executable that it installed itself and the allowed verbs.
I know that after creating a website and only…

Support update of constants such as WP_PLUGIN_DIR in wp-config.php during Cloning / Copy Data / Smart Update.
Wordpress Toolkit does not support update of constants such as WPPLUGINDIR in wp-config.php during Cloning / Copy Data / Smart Update.
For example if wp-config.php file for example.com is configured with:
define( 'WPPLUGINDIR', '/var/www/vhosts/example.com/wp-content/plugins' );and example.com is cloned to staging.example.com the WPPLUGINDIR is not updated.

SSL settings per plan restriction
Hi it would be nice to have in plan permission settings, to disable access to SSL (both those from extensions as well as LetsEncrypt) Settings for Hosting Plan, not user as it was sugested. Exactly the same way it has been done with SiteJet Builder.
I have some customers who are non-technical, so less options in the Panel then better for them.

Add method to REST API to manage domain default DNS zone settings (for DNS TTL management)
Currently when using the REST API to get the DNS records of a domain, no TTL values are returned for records unless their TTL values have been changed by the user manually. That's because (by default) DNS records inherit their TTL values from the default DNS zone settings of a domain. However these default DNS zone settings cannot be viewed or managed by the Rest API. Meaning that the default TTL values for DNS records can be viewed using the REST API.
Resulting in a deficiency for users who want to use the REST API to properly manage DNS records.

Hide Caching (nginx) option in WP-Toolkit
The controls in the Tools section of WP-Toolkit should be customizable to allow hiding Caching (nginx) so that customers do not enable it randomly. The ability to enable nginx caching should still be available from Apache & nginx settings.
2 votesThank you for your idea! We understand that this idea originates from the fact that customers sometimes enable nginx-caching without realizing what this option does to their website. Potentially creating issues with their own website.

Migrate SpamAssassin training database to a new server when using Plesk Migrator
When migrating data to a new server using Plesk Migrator, all SpamAssassin trainings are lost, hence users receive more spam on the new server than they did before. It would be good to migrate SpamAssassin training content to the new server.

Add PHP shmop extension support useful for Wordpress performance and site health
When you run the Wordpress Helath Check under Wordpress Tools menù and you run a Plesk server you will get the following alert:
You should allow inter-process communication Performance
You should consider using shared memory (PHP shmop) to allow inter-process communication.Could I suggest to add the PHP shmop support?

Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.
Meanwhile, if you want to try to install shmop yourself, these are the general steps (provided here without warranty, try it on a test server before applying it to your production system):
1) Install Plesk PHP development package:
For RPM-based OS (CentOS, RHEL, CloudLinux):
# yum install plesk-php83-devel
For Debian-based OS (Debian, Ubuntu):
# apt install plesk-php83-dev build-essential
2) Check what's the currrent version of your PHP 8.0
# /opt/plesk/php/8.3/bin/php -v
3) Download PHP source based on the version of the step 2
For example:
# wget https://www.php.net/distributions/php-8.3.0.tar.bz2
Please pay special attention that the version matches the one determined in step 2!
4) Extract the .tar file of the PHP downloaded
# tar -xvjf /root/php-8.3.0.tar.bz2
Again, the version shown here…

Encrypt mysql connections
In https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/32881723 the database connections from a Plesk server to an elsewhere hosted database was added, but we also want encrypted connections from a client or other server to databases hosted on the Plesk server.
Example: An ERP system hosts its data on a centralized MySQL database on the Plesk server. Between the clients and the server all such data is currently transmitted in plain text through the Internet. Instead this data should be encrypted, because normally such data contains personal information such as names, addresses.
