To not allow the selection of a local folder when selecting an external backup repository.
When performing a backup or scheduled backup in Plesk 11 to an external FTP repository, you can define the backup destination as a local file within the folder structure you are backing up (as in you are using the external FTP repository to back up locally). This causes a backup file to be generated that is many GB in size. The domain and/or subscription then gets suspended. There should be a check in place to not allow backups have a destination within the file structure that is being backed up.

Under domain i have multiple (28) wordpress sites. All of them listed as "Wordpress". Why cant i see which site is which?
Allow us to see which Wordpress site is which without having to click on each one. I have 28 sites and it makes it extremely difficult to locate a particular site.
2 votesSite name is shown in Plesk 12.0 instead of just “WordPress” (in new WordPress Toolkit function)

Increase maximum supported IP addresses
It looks like the change from Plesk 9.5.4 to 11.5.30 reduced the maximum allowed IP addresses down to 200 or so. When you try to re-read the IP addresses you get an error/crash. We used to be able to add as many IP's as we wanted, but I'm told its now limited to 200 or 256 (but I get a failure when I've added just 235 addresses). With the deployment of IPv6 we will need much more.

add the free Clef service for simple, strong multifactor panel authentication without passwords
Plesk Panel 11 is wonderful. But it could be even more wonderful if included strong, multifactor authentication.
Clef’s (http://getclef.com) strong MFA is free, super easy to use, and provides next-gen authentication security without passwords.
Plesk Panel + Clef would make a dynamic duo!

Modification of application installation path
For instance, Joomla installs to a subdirectory called /joomla which makes the URL of the Joomla site: www.domain.com/joomla
That is not an acceptable path. Our customers are then moving the Joomla files into their root /httpdocs directory for a better URL for the site. After that, the default buttons in the panel no longer work. It would be great if you could make the path editable for the customer to continue to use the installation buttons to get to their site and administrator panel from the panel.

Easier manual backup recovery process!
The current method in which backups are managed is neat but extremely difficult to deal with. Even the documentation is a bit lousy. It would be great if there was a single, easy tool to extract a portion of a backup. This would make managing LARGE site backups much easier. I just went through pain when extracting files from the backup.
1 voteYou can probably preview our better recovery process in upcoming Plesk 12.0 version. It allows choosing selected parts of backup to recover (up to individual file).

Domain blacklist
We would like customers to manage their domains themselves but limit them to a list of domains defined by the reseller/admin.
It would be great if a customer could e.g. define himself which domain (alias) should belong to which hosting package.
The problem at the moment is: If we give customer A the privileges to manage his domains, he could also add a foreign domain (NOT on the server) and configure mail accounts, e.g. *@ebay.com. The result would be that any mail another customer B who also uses our server sends to this domain could be "captured" by customer A.…

Adjust column widths in the Domain Files table to handle "rwx rwx rwx"
Currently, the Files table has 5 columns.
The Name column has flexible width and takes up most of the table width.
The Permissions column is fixed to contain the seetings "rwx r-x r-x ". However, if permissions are changed to "rwx rwx rwx" the column is too narrow and forces the cell to wrap, increasing row height and reducing visible rows.
There is plenty of width in the table to handle this without wrapping. Could you re-set the column widths to cope with this please?
Thankyou.
1 voteThanks for informing us. The problem will be fixed in the next Plesk version.

Add support of google authenticator to improve security of login process
"The Google Authenticator project includes implementations of one-time passcode generators for several mobile platforms, as well as a pluggable authentication module (PAM). One-time passcodes are generated using open standards developed by the Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH) (which is unrelated to OAuth).
These implementations support the HMAC-Based One-time Password (HOTP) algorithm specified in RFC 4226 and the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) algorithm specified in RFC 6238."
