OpenSSH server support in Plesk for Windows
SFTP (FTP over SSH protocol) Support would come in handy for users who want a more secure way to transfer their files to and from their hosting account. We, as a hosting company, have received many requests for a more secure way to handle file transfers than the classic FTP(S) protocol on Windows Server.
Newer versions of Windows have built-in OpenSSH server functionality, I think it would be nice to integrate this in the Plesk end-user Panel in a way that users can use SFTP with their account username and (maybe?) configure SSH keys for their accounts for a more…

remove/update the app options (wikis, CMS, bulletin boards, Squirrelmail etc)
These are so out of date as to be seriously vulnerable, with versions that mostly cannot be readily installed without installing PHP version 7.0 and (often) to add in the mysql module to PHP even if you are using that.
These options should be removed unless it can be upgraded to the latest versions of PHP and the mysql module added to PHP - at the very least something on the page BEFORE installation saying that this will require outdated and unsupported versions of PHP and any additional modules so people
a) know the dangers and also
b) so they…3 votesThank you for your input and consideration for keeping Plesk and its users safe. We are aware that the catalogue is currently outdated. The APS technology itself is outdated. Plesk is currently in the process of replacing the old catalog system with a new extension.

avoid Plesk panel update when a backup is running
Plesk updates the panel while a backup process is running. This can interrupt a backup, for example:
Error: Server "<hostname>"
Value at Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin\AdminAType\PreferencesAType -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\MigrationDump is expected to be an object of class Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\ScheduledTasks but is of type array
Error:
Unable to create the remote backup: Repository error: Failed to open the file '/usr/local/psa/PMM/tmp/pmm-de-tmp-repo-NnwqUP/backuplickey002410212254.tzst': No such file or directorybut I have observed other similar issues before.

Enhancing the visibility of protection status in WordPress Toolkit
Recently, Plesk added a vulnerability status feature to the WordPress Toolkit, which is a great step forward. However, both the vulnerability status and the protection status are currently accessed through the same link, making it harder to find the protection details quickly.
It would benefit users, especially those less familiar with these features, if Plesk were to separate these into two distinct links. This way, the protection status would be more visible and easier to access, helping users stay informed about the security of their WordPress installations without extra steps.
For example, the current "Security: Fix vulnerabilities" entry in the…

Official support for DMARC report sending from a Plesk server
The ability to send DMARC reports to a designated mailbox in relation to emails that have undergone and failed a DMARC check while being sent to mailboxes on a Plesk server is not enabled by default and is generally not a feature that Plesk supports officially yet. It would be helpful to have this feature supported by Plesk

Laravel ToolKit: Creation of deployment script before first deployment. On the "Install Application" screen.
When I deploy a Laravel application to Plesk, I always use the Laravel ToolKit extension. I follow all the steps outlined in the documentation to install my application. However, at the end of the deployment process, I still need to go to the extension's Node tab and run the npm install and npm run build commands. It would be nice if there was an option to implement a deployment script on the "Install Application" screen, as this would reduce the amount of configuration that would need to be done in the Plesk panel.
There is a similar option in the…

Feature Suggestion for Easier Website Migration Process
Dear Plesk Support Team,
I appreciate your response to my recent query. I understand that server-specific issues need to be handled by the hosting provider, but I’d like to take this opportunity to suggest a feature enhancement for Plesk.
During my recent experience, I faced challenges while trying to migrate an old .aspx website from the main domain to a subdomain and shift a WordPress website from a subdomain to the main domain. This process was more complex than expected, and it would be helpful if Plesk could offer a more user-friendly or automated tool for such domain and subdomain…
2 votesThank you for your input, Syed. We are sorry to hear you faced difficulties during the migration process. As Plesk is control panel with primary focus on web hosting and server management, introducing a module that will convert a website from one framework/application to another falls out of scope as this is mainly code-related and typically handled by web developers. Still, we would like to hear your feedback on what aspects you found inconvenient and how you would like the overall process to be improved. If you can provide us with precise examples so we can get clear understanding it will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Support for HTTP/2 on apache (without using nginx as proxy)
Hi,
It seems some Plesk users would like to have support for HTTP/2 on apache directly (without using nginx as a proxy).
We do not clearly understand cases when it is required. Why using nginx as a proxy in front of the Apache is not an option? 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.3 votesThank you for your idea. Could you tell us which scenarios you want to enable with this functionality?

Add variables to 'Auto-reply message text'
Add variables to 'Auto-reply message text' same as <request_from>, for example for 'Auto-reply message subject'. Exampe of such variable:
<request_text> copying the body message to the autoreply message.2 votesWe can consider adding the feature. However, if you auto-respond to spam emails and quote the body of the email you will automatically send spam as well. In a way, such a feature can do more harm than good. With that said, could you please provide us with solid arguments on the pros of such a feature that surpass the cons? Thank you in advance.

Change domain name during migration
Add an option to Plesk Migrator allowing to change names of subscription/domains/databases, etc. during migration. For example on source server subscription name is example.com and on target it should be example.net. It is better than manual rename of subscription and both websites can be live on different servers
