Support for Load-Balancers (Hosting Company Structure)
Add the possibility for Load Balancers to detect on what Server a domain is hosted.
This would make it possible to use Load Balancers without heavy API Integrations and headaches.
2 votesThis feature request aims at a skill that a load balance shall have, not what a server connected to a load balancer shall have. Could you please provide more details what exactly you expect a server to provide so that a load balancer can find out that the server is authoritative for a domain? At first sight this would be the IP address that is registered for the domain in DNS. But what method would you want to suggest instead?

proxy server module
i miss much a proxy server module like squid.
2 votesThank you for your idea. Plesk includes Nginx as a front-end reverse proxy. Nginx also features caching of static files. Could you please provide some evidence on the advantages that you see using Squid over the built-in Nginx reverse proxy solution?

Create and manage sites
The authorization available for creating users is the "Create and manage sites" authorization
"1-Create and manage the main site",
"2-Create and manage Subsites"
"3-Delete the sites"
there are 3 authorization divisions.
i would like to allocate critical tasks to our plesk panel users.
1 voteUsers an already create, edit, delete sites according to their specific role. Have you seen the role management in the "Users" menu of the subscription? Please describe in more detail what exactly you need to add to the feature that already exists and please provide a business case why this can make Plesk a better product.

Hi, showing the numbers of files and folders in each directory is needed.
Hi, showing the numbers of files and folders in each directory is useful.
1 voteThank you for your idea. Could you please describe the business case where this is needed? Do you need the number of files in one directory or the accumulated number of files including recursive counting through subdirectories? What will the results be used for?

Mail service availability for Wildcard subdomains
It would be helpful if mail service of Plesk could be provided for wildcard subdomains. Especially in situations involving catch all mail forwarding.
1 voteThank you for your idea. Wildcard subdomains for email is an extremely rarely seen scenario. Could you please describe in detail what this is needed for and why you believe that it is something many users will need?

2 votesThank you for your idea. Please add, what hardening needs to be done specificially. Also, what optimizer you have in mind that can scan websites, what that software should look for in websites and what is expected as a result of such a scan. Do you have examples?

Bringing an option to open or close encrypted directories in the password-protected directories section.
Bringing an option to open or close encrypted directories in the domain name directory encryption section. This way, you won't have to delete the password to open the directory.
2 votesIt yet needs to be explained what opening or closing of encrypted (probably password-protected?) directories should do. If they ought not be password-protected, why not simply remove password-protection?

Improve Plesk Country Firewall Usability
Plesk Country Firewall
1) Add a check for duplicate country abbreviations on save.
2) (x) add checkbox to sort alphabetically
3) Add a drop down to select the country. Currently you have to look up the country 2 digit code. So add a drop down to select country then add the 2 digit abbreviation.1 voteMost ISO codes of rogue nations are well known. We think that changes to geo IP blocking are rarely needed. To keep development costs reasonably low, perfect comfort for rarely used features is not a priority. In a server's lifetime it may occur twice that this is changed, so we wonder how often this feature is used in your daily routine that the added comfort is required? Please comment how you determine the countries to be blocked and why you change countries often so that we understand your routine better and can provide a better product while trying to keep license prices low.

Add support for Heimdal Agent
Add official support to Heimdal Agent (https://heimdalsecurity.com/) for Plesk on Linux servers, including ARM architecture servers.
1 voteIt seems that Heimdal Agent is a client component of their offer that collects data from a server or interacts with the server. Nothing speaks against installing that on a Plesk maintained server. "Support for Heimdal Agent" probably means that it can be installed as an extension or from a software catalog like APS catalog?

Don't hardcode apache LogFormat in templates
This is simple. All log files are generated by a given format declared in */templates/default/server.php. That's bad if you want to add something to the log format like "%{X-Forwarded-For}i"
1 voteThank you for your idea. Would you like to suggest an alternative?

If you are seeking an integration with Google Backup, Amazon S3 backup, SFTP etc., the Plesk "Backup to Cloud Pro" extension is an excellent choice. This is readily available.
If you are seeking another kind of integration, please use the text field "description" or a comment to describe your idea in more detail so that we can understand it better.

Restricted mode: select subdomains to lock for deletion
Create opportunity to select subdomains that are locked for deletion by additional admin user
1 voteIs this about a four-eyes or six-eyes feature? Like one admin first needs to "prepare" domains or subdomains for deletion, then another admin can delete them? Could you please mention some details on the business case and why such a function would help users to work more efficiently with their server?

Managing crontab via CLI
It would be very conenient to be able to manage the subscriptions' scheduled tasks via CLI.
6 votescronjobs can easily be managed by Linux commands already. They may not be sourced from Plesk, but all tools already exist on the operating system. As cronjobs are read by Plesk from disk, manipulating the corresponding files on disk will set everything you wish. Individual cron files are stored in /var/spool/cron and can be text-edited. You can add files, edit files, append files and delete files using Linux commands. You can also stream-edit files (e.g. insert a commend tag before a line with sed) and also create Linux control while-loops to apply changes to filtered files. Cron can also be controlled directly (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/crontab.1.html).
Please let us know in details what you are missing or please provide an example how you would like Plesk to work with cron instead.

Oracle Linux 8 Support - CentOS 8 is dead
Hello,
is there any chance to give Oracle Linux to became official supported?
Since the bad news about CentOS 8 EoL on 31.December 2021.
The best option now is Oracle Linux (100% binary compatible OS)Best Regards
22 votesBy the end of 2022 the market share of Oracle Linux was only half of the next up competitor Alma and less than 1/10 of RHEL, Rocky and Alma combined. For that reason, we'd love to hear from you why you believe that Oracle Linux will be the next big player despite the low market share.
For example do you see specific technical reasons why Oracle Linux should be preferred over development for the much more popular platforms? E.g. ARM support and do you actually need it? Are there other aspects that can give good reasons to consider this OS over others?
Please let us know in the comments.

Customizable Plesk notification email address
Plesk has the ability to send notifications. However, with the latest version (v18.0.32) these are sent to my "External email address" of the admin user. But since I as admin user enter my Apple iCloud email "name@icloud.com" there, it is used as both sender and recipient and all notification emails end up in the spam folder of my iCloud mail.
It would be really great if you could separate the administrator email from the notification email address and change it specifically so that email notifications are sent from "Plesk@domain.tld" to the external administrator email "name@icloud.com…28 votesAs https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/16956373-set-a-senders-email-address-for-plesk-notification was resolved and the sender address of notifications is now customizable we are wondering whether the issue described in this feature request cannot also be considered solved. The issue here was described as sender and recipient being the same address so that notifications are evaluated as "spam" at the recipient's mailbox. However, now that the sender address can be customized, this could easily be circumvented.
Further, the recipient address of notifications can be freely set in the notifications page.
Please comment if and why this feature request is still actual.

Set MX priority 100 or customize to any value
Possbility to add MX record with priority 100 but plesk allows only to select priorities from 0 to 50. For example to enable mail server to work properly at the OVH they require the configuration to priority 100
1 voteThe actual value of an MX priority does not influence the behavior of other servers directly. It is more a "sorting" criteria. When OVH asks for "100" in a list of their five MX servers as 1, 5, 50, 100, 200, you can also rearrange that list to values like 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 with 15 representing the 100, because it is in the same order "slot" as their manual suggests. Currently you can configure ten MX entries for the same domain, but in real-world configurations we've never encountered a domain where ten MX entries were needed.
If you know of an example where a provider asks for a fixed value like "100" and does not deliver mail if that value is not present in an MX record, please let us know in your comments.

Add IgnoreHosts options to Plesk`s DMARC implementation
Currently it is possible to whitelist only domain with IgnoreMailFrom parameter. However there could be false-positive DMARC failures (in case sender's strict policy and mail going throughout relay) due to which it could be useful to have option to whitelist specific network. It would be nice having this option available
12 votesDuring research, we have found that the request is about passing emails via intermediate mail gateway (which works as an anti-spam solution) and the idea of the request is do not check SPF for these emails on Plesk side.
In Plesk, there is already exist a solution for that: need to use "SPF Local rules" setting to configure an SPF record which will be used by Plesk to validate emails (including emails from an intermediate anti-spam solution). See KB article for mode details (https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022753174) and Plesk documentation.
If it does not solve the issue on you Plesk environment and you still need the "IgnoreHost" option, let us know more details about you case for that in comments below.
