  1. Please allow all IIS authentication configurations for a virtual directory. Currently, only Anonymous and Windows are available.

    Please allow all IIS authentication configurations for a virtual directory. Currently, only Anonymous and Windows authentications are available. If we want to setup only "Basic Authentication" for a website then we can't do it from Plesk Panel.

  3. Nginx restart interval functionality

    An Nginx restart interval should be helpful for situations when users use API calls to modify domain's PHP settings. This results in multiple nginx reloads:

    /var/log/plesk/rc_actions:

    INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:26:00 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
    INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:26:44 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
    INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:26:59 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
    INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:28:06 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
    INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:29:11 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload

    A similar functionality exists for apache in Tools & Settings > Apache web server > Restart interval.

  4. block bad bots by default

    There are many bots that can actually DoS a server using Plesk. Since there's no way to limit their connections they can overload a server really easily. Currently the only way to block them is by reading the logs and implementing blocks in nginx or .htaccess rules.

    It would be great if there could be some security by default. The community has created very comprehensive lists that could be used and auto updated / maintained by cron jobs.

    Here's an example for Apache

    https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker/tree/master/Apache_2.4

    And here's for Nginx

    It could help mitigate attacks and vulnerability scans as well a…

  9. Show mail traffic statistics when using SmarterMail

    When installing Plesk with SmarterMail, the mailbox usage stats are calculated, however, the mail traffic usage stats (IMAP/POP3 + SMTP) are not calculated.

    It would be really useful that Plesk would calculate mail traffic usage for when SmarterMail is being used, otherwise, we cannot monitor the traffic usage made by our customers nor limit it.

  10. Add Nagios support

    It would be nice to add Nagios support in Plesk, since there are no other tools to monitor Plesk mail server, such as Postfix, to check mail queue, ability to send messages etc.

  17. [XML API] Use the "switch-subscription" request to associate a subscription with a service plan by its name and not only plesk_guid

    Currently, using XML API, it's possible to "switch-subscription" request to associate a subscription with a service plan by the plan GUID.

    Considering a scenario where multiple Plesk servers are used with same Service Plan names, their GUID would still differ so the same request to one server would not work on another. Therefore, it would be nice to have a "plan_name" node under "switch-subscription" so that the same request could be used on all servers

  18. Allow resellers to change main customer's domain name

    If the option 'Forbid customers to change the name of their main domain' set in Tools & Settings > Server Settings, reseller also unable to change the main domain.

    Allow CNAME records to point to another CNAME record. Currently it is not possible to do so in Plesk and shows the error:

    Error: Incorrect combination of DNS records is present in the DNS zone.

  20. Exclude internal requests from the Traffic statistics

    Plesk seems to add up the request response size,
    including those of its own extenal IP address.
    We would like to disable this behaviour or filter out this info, because
    this is not the actual traffic.

    We have customers that have a lot of internal requests because of some
    caching module where about 50% of the total traffic is from its own IP.
