Publish a help file for beginners how to upload a website from your home computer. Which files? SQL connect string?
Beginners like me can get web sites running on their home PCs on localhost where we have familiar environments like Visual Studio. Much of your help talks about moving files from one 2GBHosting site to another, or using FTP. Beginners frequently don't know what files to ftp. Which database? Do I really need the dozens of files and many subdirectories that Visual Studio creates for each and every project? Which database do I upload?

include language selection
Is there anyway possible to have a language selection (e.g. dropdown) for presence builder? Or is it already planed?
I don't mean the language selection when you create a website but more the option where a visitor can change the websites language on his own. It would be enough to have language files included with predefined settings where the creator can adjust the texts.
I think this would be a very nifty implementation as for business websites its nearly mandatory to select the language.

Rights / owner change
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, there is a possibility that you include a function to assign rights to files new owners? From, for example, www-data in user name XYZ.
Reason I ask is because I have no rights on some folders under www-data and therefore can not delete it. These are, for example, BackUp files erstelt of a plug-in using WordPress.
Thank you very much

Usability of the site should be improved
Sorry, it's less an idea than a complaint:
Simplify !
The current Plesk is so bad in usability that it is a reason not choose a hosting service. The learning curve for such a straight forward tool is way to high. I don't want to spend my time to learn a tool, but just do the job I am supposed to do.
So I suggest to get a usability expert with expert knowledge on webhosting to sort out the functions and their places where they are best to be located.
Example: Why would I search the webstatistics function inside the…2 votes“Security and Scripting” was renamed into “Hosting Settings” long ago, though you are probably not at the latest version.

I would like to see domain mirroring available for subdomains for easy mobile website creation.
I don't see the function, unless I am missing it somewhere. I would like to set a subdomain to mirror the main domain. Under "hosting type" there is only "hosting", "forwarding" or "no hosting". I would like a "mirroring" function.
