Plesk Fire Wall to upload faster, and allow incremental changes
Plesk FW when having lots of rules, is SUPER SLOW, because the rules are handled by a bash script, whereas compiled executables which ia a lot faster, is not used. This is asked to be changed.
Also, please make sure the Fire Wall script does not call a DNS query for the host of each IP, as mentioned here:
https://serverfault.com/questions/85602/iptables-l-pretty-slow-is-this-normalAlso, as fail2ban may add a CIDR ip as x.x.x.x/12 within a blink of an eye, I am asking for Plesk to implement such incremental change ability on the Plesk Fire Wall As well
fail2ban-client -vvv set nginx_errors banip x.x.x.x/12
1 voteThank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, this request contains several different suggestions, and it's not technically possible to properly handle them inside one request. Please consider creating separate feature requests for each of the items.

Separate folder for backups
Make it possible, to specify a separate path on reseller/customer basis, reasoning being that if there are physical hard drives dedicated to the customer they can not include the backups on it.
2 votesNo details were provided why the existing separation of user backups in folders is insufficient. Also Plesk does not support separate drives for different subscriptions. Such a scenario could be achieved by putting accounts on different servers, too. No further information was provided on this topic. Regarding the low number of votes on this feature we must decline it.

Add official support for PHP APCu - revisited.
In an "idea" posted in 2018 - and declined -, you said "As far as I know APC/APCu is outdated..."
That is incorrect. APC is outdated because PHP now uses it internally. APCu, however, is the new version of APC for external use, and it's very much up to date.
For certain applications, APCu is significantly faster than memcached or redis.
I have a shared server and can't use APCu because Plesk (still) doesn't officially support it.13 votesThis request has not received many votes. We must decline it.
However, you will find a guide how to use APCu with Plesk, even though it is not officially supported, here: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003211209
APCu is a PECL extension. These can be installed using the PECL installer built into Plesk. Tools & Settings > General Settings > PHP Settings > Click on PHP version > button "Manage PECL Packages"

Service plans for additional entities(domains/subdomains/emails)
It would be great to have an option to assign not only subscriptions, but also emails and subdomains to service plans. Hence, we'll be able to sell particular email and subdomain "subscriptions".
1 voteThis contradicts the product logic. Service plans are not created for business objects, but business objects are parts of service plans. We must decline this. Instead, you can already use "Add ons" to service plans to configure extra settings for business objects.

Ability to store domain mail content in the domain folder
Please add the ability to store domain mail content in the domain folder like in cPanel /home/$user/mail/domain.tld/emailuser/
In this case, it will be possible manually create a backup for website and mail content just by copying /home/$user/ folder and after restore this folder on the destination server.
1 voteCopy-transfer-insert operations on emails are frequently done, but are a flawed and unsafe method to migrate emails as just one single update (e.g. an incoming mail or an edit on either source or target) while the copying process is not yet completed can break indexes and render the target copy useless.
Providing direct access to mail files from a web space account will also have end users experiment with the files directly, which again will cause a high number of support cases with providers who lease webspace to their users.
Instead, please consider using the free "Site Import" extension which includes a "Mail Import" function, too. With that you can very easily and in a perfectly safe way migrate mailboxes between servers without the need to use a separate migration tool.
The request did not become popular anyway, so we must decline it.

Implement logic for DDOS protected domains
As a hosting company we should have an option to give customers ddos protection.
The only implementation that works great is taking a domain, secure it with ddos protection service and generate customers a subdomain under this domain.
Lets say, example.com is protected under ddos protection software.
A customer clicks on "add domain" and if we blocked the option to add any domains, there will be only generated a subdomain under example.com, EG: website1223153.example.comThis subdomain would be protected by a ddos protection service.
The customer can create a CNAME to website1223153.example.com in order to connect his domain to the…1 voteEffective DDoS protection can only be done by hardware solutions that are installed between Internet and server. Traffic directed to the server must be analyzed, and in case of DDoS it must be blocked before it reaches the server, because bandwith of NICs and CPU power will always be too small to cope with attacks. Once an attack reaches the server it is "too late". For that reason we suggest speaking with your data center instead if they can provide a suitable router before your server or maybe you can check a well-known cloud service through which traffic to the host and domains hosted on that host is routed.

Allow creation of database users on different database servers configured on Plesk
In case when more than one database server are available on the Plesk server, e.g two or more MSSQL servers, it is possible to enable the "Database server selection" option on the subscriptions's service plan which allows creation of databases and database users on any database server available by default
It would be great, however, if the ability to create databases and database users on all database servers available were enabled separately, like below:
Option on service plan to allow creation of databases on any database server available, in case this option disabled, the subscription would be able to create…

A button to manually reissue SSLs for all domains
Can we get a button to manually reissue SSLs for all domains and subdomains?
I had a few issues in the past year because SSLs didn't automatically renew which made me lose hours with support tickets.
I would prefer to hit the button "Reissue SSL for domains" once every 60 days over relying that everything will just work automatically.
7 votesReissuing SSL certificates for all domains on a server cannot solve any issue. Reissueing certificates automatically makes no difference to the automatic renewal attempt of SSLIt/Let's Encrypt. Instead, the correct solution to solve renewal issues of certificates is to check the "Keep websites secured" checkbox on the SSL page of the domain. Then, if aliases or subdomains that were formerly included in a certificate , that have been removed meanwhile are now missing can be excluded from the automatic renewal process. A second reason why such a reissue button for all domains is a bad idea is that LE rate limiting will be hit on servers with a certain number of domains. For many users it will then become impossible to issue new certificates for a certain ban time.
So overall this feature request cannot be an appropriate approach to solve SSL renewal issues. We must decline it.
