Show if server needs reboot
It should be nice to have a notification if server needs reboot inside plesk.
Like after big updates ( kernel , os components ... )
Like message when you connect to SU in SSH.
2 votesAs major operating system changes that require a reboot (such as the mentioned Kernel upgrade) are not subject of updates that can be done from within Plesk, a reboot message is not needed. This request did not gain popularity either, so we must decline it.

Transferring MySQL databases
It'd be great to have an option to import a MySQL database from an external servers to Plesk. For example, download and import it by the means of the "site import" extension.

Add Hosting services payment options for 1 year 3 years and 5 years
Myself and so many other business owners prefer to pay for hosting services in advance, usually selecting a 5-years package if available. This would make keeping track of payment so much easier and give options other than monthly.
2 votesBilling or payment services are not part of Plesk. We must decline this request.

Add possibility to set "Can be used to log in to Plesk" unchecked by default during mail account creation
Creating mail account In Plesk panel Domains > example.com > Mail accounts > Create Email Address has an option "Can be used to log in to Plesk" which is checked by default.
There can be a situation when you can by mistake leave the option checked but you don't plan to permit to log in to Plesk with created mail account.
So it would be convenient to have this option unchecked by default.4 votesLogging in to Plesk as the mailbox user will only allow that user to edit his own settings of that mailbox, e.g. the password. The effect of this option is marginal. We are also only talking about a preset change from "checked" to "unchecked". It's only a mouseclick to uncheck the box, and when the default is changed to "unchecked" other users will complain that they now need to check this box each time they add a mailbox.
As this feature did not become popular and as the setting is already optional we must decline it.

Please remember the security rule IDs in ModSecurity
In Plesk >Tools & Settings > Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity), I use OWASP and added some carefully selected "Security rule IDs" to be deactivated.
When I change rule set from OWASP to Comodo, apply it. It seems these "Security rule IDs" are lost. When I switch back from Comodo to OWASP, the textarea for "Security rule IDs" is empty.
Can we remember them even switched to another rule set? I only came up with these IDs with hours of hard work.
1 voteAFAIK IDs are simply not the same for different rulesets, so preserving them when the ruleset is changed does not seem to be useful. This request also did not gain popularity. We must decline it.

Re desing the new UI for creating customers in Plesk
Please re-design of the 20% popup screen which now opens when you create a new customer. A better approach / solution would be a new screen in the middle of the viewing area (e.g. 80% in size centered). Currently it's situated on the left side. It would already be much better when the new screen is centered in the middle, instead stickied to the left side.
2 votesUI changes are an ongoing process. Plesk collects feedback from many sources and constantly updates the user interface as a result from evaluation of many user requests. At the moment there are no plans to change the drawer behavior, but rest assured that we keep monitoring usage and will continue to constantly improve.

Add possibility to switch to old "Add customer" interface
New "Add customer" interface added in 18.0.37 usability improvements.
It's required to add a possibility to select previous interface.
Reasons:
1. I worked quicker
2. The form doesn't utilize the whole screen.3 votesThe Plesk user interface is undergoing constant evaluation and improvements that are based on a wide variety of user feedback like yours. We are seriously considering all feedback, but as returning to a previous state of the "add customer" dialog did not become popular, we currently have no plans to move backward. Rest assured that Plesk will keep monitoring user requirements and update the "add customer" interface accordingly.

NS in the firewall
About the firewall, access can currently be allowed from manually added IP addresses. I think it would be a good idea to be able to add nameservers to allow FTP and SSH access from places where the IP changes periodically.
1 voteThe requested function will require name resolution on every incoming packet. This will result in extreme slowing of the server. As this request did not gain popularity either, we must decline it.

Disaster Recovery Plesk _ Speed Up Backup Restoration procedure with possibility to open multiple process pleskrestore running
Allow the pleskrestore command to be run under different example accounts
pleskrestore --restore domains1.tar -level clients [<option_N> [<param>]]
pleskrestore --restore domains2.tar -level clients [<option_N> [<param>]]
pleskrestore --restore domains3.tar -level clients [<option_N> [<param>]]in order to obtain more simultaneous processes for the restore and therefore speeding up the recovery procedure of an entire server through plesk backups, in case of emergency.
It is very important to allow you to run multiple simultaneous processes, also because today's CPUs and disks are very powerful and performing, if in case of emergency recovery, 8 restore commands are launched, the recovery process is speeded up…
9 votesThere are two major bottlenecks for restores: Network bandwidth for downloading the archive from an external FTP server (either on the FTP server or on the local host) and cpu power on unpacking the compressed archives. Both are already maxed in the current restore algorithms. In addition, disk I/O capabilities can limit the restore speed. Specificially uncompressing creates a high cpu load and lots of disk I/O transactions. Running several such processes concurrently could stall the server and will not necessarily increase the restoration speed. Dozens of test restores on real production machines with 12-core CPUs and backup large archives (e.g. 500 - 800 GB) have shown that it is a much better and safer approach to do one such restore at a time as two of them will already overload a machine.
For these reasons we decline this request. However, rest assured that speed is always on the agenda.…

Add a possibility to enable debug for iptables using Kernel TRACE
It would be great to have an ability to enable dubugging as describe here: https://serverfault.com/questions/122157/debugger-for-iptables/126079#126079 using Plesk Firewall
1 voteIt seems that demand for this feature is low. It is something very specific for users who are familiar with the Linux console and iptables already, hence will be able to get the required output on the Linux console, too. As this request did not become popular we must decline it.

Add ZeroSSL as an alternative to Let's Encrypt
https://zerossl.com now offers 90 days ssl certificates that work with ACME.
It would be nice to be able to choose it as a ssl certificates provider in Plesk.
Probably not too complicated since it relies on same technologies.
12 votesThere have been some good arguments why users would like to use ZeroSSL as an alternative to Let's Encrypt. It is correct that the vendor also offers a free variant of their SSL certificats. But in the end it is a commercial vendor who strives to sell paid certificates while the existing SSLIt solution provides the option to only offer free certificates to users.
A vendor like ZeroSSL has the option to develop an extension for Plesk on its own and submit it to the Plesk extension catalog so that users of that vendor can use their services through Plesk. The API documentation for that is free to access for the vendor. Plesk cannot develop software on behalf of a commercial vendor to sell their products, this is the task of the vendor.
For that reason we ask you to suggest to ZeroSSL that they develop their own extension to…

How about an ejabberd extension
XMPP is an increasingly popular protocol now and ejabberd is a great XMPP server with a web interface. Please consider adding this to your extensions catalogue.
1 voteAt the moment we do not have a plan for ejabberd extension. But you can create this extension by yourself with help of this tutorial: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/extensions-guide/plesk-extensions-in-a-nutshell.76331/

Use Plesk Server as Proxy for MySQL connections to external DB Server registered in Plesk
It would be good to be able to use Plesk Server as a Proxy to external MySQL servers. While it is possible to use PHP My Admin to manage databases through Plesk, if a direct connectio to DB is required, it has to be performed through the external server's IP.
This could be achieved, for instance, using Docker's proxy, however, at the moment, Docker Proxy does not work for MySQL connection, only to "browser-based" applications.
1 voteThis sounds like a quite specific business case. It did not become popular. We must decline it.
