  1. Webhosting Migration Windows with central Smartermail Server

    Make Migrations possible for Windows Plesk Hosting Servers with central Smartermail Server. right now it's not possible to move/migrate hosting from source to destination windows plesk server if same central remote smartermail mailserver is used. would be great if we could just move webhosting part from older windows to newer windows hosting server and let all mail accounts and mails untached on central remote smartermail server.

  2. add search and replace in code editor

    The ctrl-F feature provides a search function, but there is no search and replace that I can find. I'd like the file editor to have the same editing functions as notepad++.

  3. Backup/Restore a table or DB to file

    Backup / Restore manager is fine, but what if we only want to restore one / several tables, not the whole Database?
    Add feature to restore single tables only.

    Or even more flexible: add the possibility to restore a DB dump to a file. This file can then be searched / adjusted to restore specific tables only. Once it is adjusted we could load it in the DB / perform the restore.

  5. Permissions for SEO-safe 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS management

    It would be nice for the users to be able to enable or disable:

    "Permanent SEO-safe 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS"

    option in their panel.
    Instead of setting it in the service plan, give to the user the permission to manage this feature.

  6. WordPress Smart Updates notifications

    For now, the only way to manage WordPress Smart Updates notifications is to enable/disable them at all under Tools & Settings > Notifications > WordPress application updates.

    Please add feature to manage Smart Updates notifications, particularly receiving only failed updates.

  7. Block user access after failed attempts

    It would be great to implement in Plesk a new feature.

    When there are X failed attempts, in Plesk there should be the possibility to block automatically the access to the customer account (completely or for a certain period of time).

    As per now, Plesk block the IP address via Fail2ban, but this is not the feature that we need. We just want to block the access completely or temporarily for the affected login.

  8. Limiting access to Plesk panel by specifying the allowed dst addresses

    It is required to control the accessibility of the Plesk panel by having an option to permit access only by the specified server's IP's. For example:
    Let's say there are 172.16.1.10 & 172.16.1.11 IPs on the server both assigned with a domain name panel.example.com.
    Option "Specified domain" is set in Tools&Settings > Customize Plesk URL.
    Any other IP address on that should NOT serve the login procedure.

    However, when this server has a full subnet 172.16.1.32/27 added as the secondary IP addresses, it is possible to open any of them via the Web Browser, afterward press "Log in to Plesk"…

  9. add functionality for pre-install checker to check supported components and prohibit installation on case unsupported components are found

    It would be great to not have an ability to install Plesk on a system that is using a component (database server, e.x.) that is not supported by the Plesk version.
    Please consider implementing the functionality of the pre-install checking of unsupported components. It can prevent issues with Plesk on the servers with unsupported software.
    Such an idea has already been provided once, however, it was too specific (for database servers only): https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/20166910-prohibit-installation-on-unsupported-databases.

  10. Send scheduled backup notifications from administrative email address

    When email specified at Scheduled backup notification it sent on behalf of user and failed due to SPF check

    For example, if you set email for backup notification as test@example.com the email will be sent FROM test@example.com. And if it does not exist on server it may fail during SPF checl

    It is expected that email sent FROM administrative email.

  11. Make it possible to create a subscription with mail service in deactivated state

    In Plesk Onyx, when subscription is created from a service plan, mail service is created in deactivated state.
    But when such subscription is created in Plesk Obsidian, it is created without mail service, which makes creating mail addresses impossible without enabling mail service.
    Creating mail addresses in this way is crucial for the client, so please add this functionality to Plesk.

    Add an option to the Mail Addresses page to expand all the forwarding emails. For example, rather than saying "(and 4 more)" list all 5 forwarding email addresses, not just the first one for each email address on the display.

  15. Ability to enable the detailed error messages in IIS

    Currently, this can be enabled in IIS > example.com > Error pages > Edit feature settings

    or Domains > example.com > File Manager and adjusting the web.config file manually

    The native functionality to enable/disable detailed errors in Domains > example.com > IIS Settings will be easier for customer. Without involving server administrator or adjusting web.config manually.

  16. Add support for the Cluster module in Passenger

    Add support for the Cluster module in Passenger supplied with Plesk:
    https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html#cluster_cluster

    Currently, when Node Cluster module is called on a NodeJS application configured in Plesk in development mode, the following error is be shown:

    Trace: You required the Node Cluster module, which is incompatible with Passenger, a non-functional shim was returned and your app may still work. However, please remove the related code as soon as possible.

  18. Monitoring Nginx cache hit rate

    At the moment, for example, when you (or your clients) install a Wordpress plugin that uses cookies, the nginx cache stops working and you don't even know it.

    Monitoring tool for Nginx cache hit rate would be very helpful

  19. Add the option to remove certain domain names or its parts from Let's Encrypt certificates auto-renewal notifications

    Add the option to remove certain domain names from Let's Encrypt certificates auto-renewal failure (customer's digest) and Let's Encrypt certificates auto-renewal success (customer's digest).

    For example, I have domain example.com without "www" part (by design) that is secured with Let's Encrypt certificate for example.com (without "www" part). Plesk sends the notification that the www.example.com could not be secured. With the suggested option it will be possible to switch off such notification for "www" part only so that the regular notification for example.com will be active.
