Support SQL Server 2022
Microsoft SQL Server 2022 was released several months ago. We'd like to provide our customers services using this DB engine. Could you please add its support into Plesk?
12 votesGreat news! Microsoft SQL Server 2022 is fully supported since Plesk Obsidian 18.0.50, published January 31st, 2023. Plesk can now detect Microsoft SQL Server 2022 installed locally and allows to create and manage user databases. It is now also possible to do the following:
- Use Microsoft SQL Server 2022 as a remote database server.
- Install Microsoft SQL Server 2022 locally using Plesk Installer.
- Import and export Microsoft SQL Server 2022 databases via the Plesk interface.

support Rocky Linux
Rocky Linux is bug-for-bug compatible with already supported OS (RHEL, and by extension since AlmaLinux makes the same claim - that too).
However, unlike RHEL and AlmaLinux, Rocky has broad industry support sponsored by Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Fastly etc. so I would like to see Plesk officially add support for Rocky.

Add support Comodo ruleset fo ModSecurity 3.0(Nginx)
At the moment it is not possible to use the Comodo ruleset with ModSecurity 3.0(Nginx).
Due to this xmlrpc.php brute force for WordPress is not protected, which is allowing Plesk server to be vulnerable to xmrlpc.php attacks

Custom labels in WP Toolkit
This idea was already mentioned on: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/39722035-custom-labels-in-wp-toolkit-and-additional-filteri
And to give some ideas of what custom labels could be added:
- managed / unmanaged
- notes about who manages the site
- notes about special environments besides production / staging / ...It would be less work to not have to look up these informations for each site and be able to just add a short custom label. For us these labels do not need to be filtered, but it would be a nice-to-have to have this addition like described in the original thread.
35 votesCustom labels are now available in WPT v6.0. Details:
- All labels now require users to input a label text.
- Labels can have different colors (chosen from a predefined palette)
- Labels can be private (visible only to the person who adds the label) or non-private (visible to and manageable by everyone who can access the site in WPT)
- Several private labels (up to five) can be added to a single WP site at once
- Only one non-private label per site can be added
- Existing labels were converted to non-private labels with the same text (their color is a bit different, though)

PHP Extensions Installer
I would love to see PHP Extensions Installer like other panels cPanel and DirectAdmin have it. Can we see a feature where we install needed PHP Extensions from Plesk rather than SSH into server and install?
15 votesGreat news! This feature became available in Plesk 18.0.49!
Plesk added the ability to install extensions for PHP 7.3 and later handlers using PECL. You can manage PHP extensions in Tools & Settings > PHP Settings > choose the desired handler > Manage PECL Packages.

Live stats for the End User/Reseller that shows memory usage, DB Usage.
Live stats for the End User/Reseller that shows memory usage, DB Usage. Basically something like how cPanel shows for the End Users. There is already Server stats for the admin since Plesk360 but there is nothing for the End Users.
1 voteSince Plesk 18.0.51 users have an on-demand button "Refresh usage stats" on their statistics page. This updates the disk space usage charts. DB usage can already be seen in total in that pie chart, but also separately per database on the "Database" page.
If "memory" usage means RAM usage for you, please comment how RAM instant RAM usage of a single domain could have an impact on server operations, because such usage would change greatly within milliseconds.

Add SSH2 extension to PHP default extensions to improve security
Hi,
Please consider add SSH2 extension to PHP default available extensions.
To be able to use FTP over SSH (SFTP) the SSH2 extension must be installed on PHP.
IN SHORT: SFTP (SSH2 EXTENSION) = SECURITY
SFTP means secure file transfer via Secure Shell (or SSH), hence the name SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). The two devices (server and client) communicate via a single channel, that of SSH, in which the remote file management commands are sent and where the file transfer takes place. By default, the only port required for SFTP is 22, the same as SSH.
SFTP implements the…
33 votesSince Plesk Obsidian 18.0.49 that was published December 20th, 2022, the Plesk PHP configuration page in "Tools & Settings" has a new option where you can easily install PHP PECL packages. The SSH2 extension is a PECL package as described in https://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2. It can be installed right out of the Plesk user surface using the new PECL installer.

Allow logins to WordPress while "maintenance" mode is engaged.
Imagine being able to perform actual maintenance, when "maintenance mode" is engaged... Instead, actual maintenance can only be done with a 3rd party extension. Or, consider changing the labeling of "maintenance mode" to "WordPress On/Off" since engaging maintenance mode prevents actual maintenance, prevents logging in, and just shuts down the site.
1 voteThis ability was added to WordPress Toolkit v5.7. You can turn it off in maintenance mode settings, if you wish so.

Ability to add MX DNS record with a custom priority from Plesk GUI
Currently, MX record the dropdown priority options are available at an interval of "5".
However, Google Mail and G-Suite require to create MX-record with a priority 1, which is not available in Plesk.
There is similar request here https://talk.plesk.com/threads/google-mail-dns-wont-validate-unless-mx-priority-is-1.357702/
Please, add ability to set other MX priorities in Plesk interface.
20 votesThis functionality was added in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.30. G Suite can now be set up with the Plesk DNS service because it is now possible to set an MX priority value to 1 in the Plesk interface. Let us know if you have any feedback.

Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity) for NGINX and Apache
Hi,
Please consider implementing Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity) for NGINX and Apache in the next Plesk update.
At the moment any Plesk user if he wants to use Mod Security (official version supported by Plesk) is forced to use it as a web server:
- Apache
or
- Apache + NGINX
Any Plesk user who wants to use only NGINX as a web server and without using Apache at the moment cannot use Mod Security because Plesk does not currently support it for NGINX exclusively web servers.
Here are some of the advantages of Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity and these…
