  1. S3 Storage with enabled Object Lock

    AWS S3 Storage offers the Object Lock feature, which ensures that a file cannot be deleted within a certain time frame. This is ideal for protecting your Plesk backups from accidental manipulation or attackers.

    However, to use this feature, the PUT request must include the checksum of the uploaded backup file. If this header is omitted, the following error message appears:

    Transport error: Extension transport: ext://s3-backup/server/: Content-MD5 OR x-amz-checksum- HTTP header is required for Put Part requests with Object Lock parameters

    Adding one of the headers described at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/checking-object-integrity.html would solve this problem.

  2. Encrypt mysql connections

    In https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/32881723 the database connections from a Plesk server to an elsewhere hosted database was added, but we also want encrypted connections from a client or other server to databases hosted on the Plesk server.

    Example: An ERP system hosts its data on a centralized MySQL database on the Plesk server. Between the clients and the server all such data is currently transmitted in plain text through the Internet. Instead this data should be encrypted, because normally such data contains personal information such as names, addresses.

  3. Custom HTTP methods on Windows Servers

    Only when Plesk creates a website will it create this entry at the website level in IIS in the handler mappings, pointing to this file "php-cgi.exe"

    There is no PHP handler in the IIS root that allows me to configure the allowed verbs and that can be propagated to websites.

    When Plesk creates a website, it has a set of settings that it applies to the website, which includes the creation of the handler to interpret .php files, the path of the executable that it installed itself and the allowed verbs.

    I know that after creating a website and only…

  5. Change on webmail subdomain log in screen to Plesk's log in screen so the user can manage their account directly

    I was considering that to increase the security of the email accounts and so that the user has direct administration over them, if it were possible that instead of the subdomain "webmail.whatevedomain.com" being directed to a webmail login screen directly, to change it to the plesk's log in screen, since when you enable the option in email accounts of "can be used to log in to plesk", the user enters to a management screen for the email account itself, this is by using the email address as the user and their same password.
    This way, the user could change their…

    Thank you for your idea. Unfortunately, the webmail apps are completely independent mail client apps. They are not programmed by the Plesk team, but by independent vendors. The functions that Plesk can control are mail server based functions and user management based functions, e.g. changing the user name (mailbox name) and password. Webmail apps that do the same to it through specific port based method. They behave like all other mail clients. Bringing both worlds into one will mean that Plesk develops and maintains their own webmail software in competition to existing solutions like SoGo, Roundcube, Horde. This would require significant resources not only for development, but also for continuous maintenance - and all that besides maintaining the integration of the other clients. There are no plans to do that at this time or in the near future.

    Nevertheless we can leave this feature idea online for some while so…

  6. add user input context to password validator

    Please PLEASE please use https://zxcvbn-ts.github.io/zxcvbn/guide/user-input/ because otherwise using zxcvbn makes little sense.

    according to https://zxcvbn-ts.github.io/zxcvbn/guide/languages/ polish is supported language so it'd be great if polish langauge was used.

  7. Reset DNS record to default value from DNS template

    The ability to reset a specific record to the default value from the DNS template. We are currently only able to reset the whole domain.

    I'm also missing a column in the dns records overview, displaying which records are default and which are customized. We have to guess at this point which ones are altered.

  8. DNS record editor for all domains (bulk editing, selective editing)

    Editor for all DNS records in the Plesk system, it is very time consuming to mass check records and alter them eg. SPF, DMARC, autodiscover records.

    Maybe the editor could also have an option to reset records to DNS template.

    Plesk already supports a wealth of backup options and disk space vendors with its "Backup to Cloud Pro" extension. 

    https://www.plesk.com/extensions/offer-complete-backup-solution/

    We will consider to add yet another one in upcoming releases - if it will be popular - but we also suggest to ask terabox whether they would like to develop their extension for Plesk using the free Plesk API.

    Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

  10. Provide the ability to send a copy of mailbox quota notifications to Plesk admin

    When users receive the notification that their mailbox is near full, they often ignore it, or have a concern that it is a fake message. Some customers completely ignore the message because they don't know what to do. If we could provide the ability to also notify the Plesk admin, the customer could be called ahead of time, instead of receiving the "why isn't my mail working?" phone call.

  11. exclude large files from backup

    Some customers store large videos for their website,
    some of them just zip an entire website for manual backup or download, and keep it in the server storage.
    some have wordpress backup plugins that will generate >500Mb files with weird extension.
    others just can't understand that a PNG file >50Mb is not good for your website.

    for the backup/restore functionality,
    I Suggest adding the ability to exclude large files.
    or even combine large files for specific extension (allow to backup any size of MPG, but exclude ZIP files >20Mb)

    currently, it is possible to exclude by extensions, but PNG and…

    Thank you for your idea! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

    Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important. 

    A workaround for some cases could be to place large files in separate directories and then to exclude these directories from the backup. Nevertheless we get the idea of this request to filter them from all directories by size.,

  13. Additional option for overuse policy- Overuse is allowed up to x %

    Overuse is allowed up to x %

    - after percentage threshold is crossed then suspend and send e-mail notification
    - with ability to set up percentage freeley, but suspend when disk usage is 110 % or 130 % and so on.

  14. Verify backups using checksum instead of partial file download

    FTP backups are verified using the download of part of the file, however some hosts do not support partial file download. It would be good to allow verification using some other method such as fle checksum.

  15. Application pool status page

    It would be very handy to be able to look at the memory usage/footprint of the application pool and its associated IIS Worker Processes to help to monitor potential web application issues.

    It would also be nice to be able to see the last time the application pool was started/restarted

  16. Add a snapshot of the current processes list to existing CPU / memory usage exceeded emails

    The Monitoring extension already triggers email notifications when resource usage exceeds the allocations, but if usage has already settled before you notice these emails and click through to the server, it's difficult to find which domain was the cause.

    Adding a snapshot of the current processes list to these emails when it's the CPU or memory usage thresholds that have been exceeded would be very useful. Potentially just the "Domains only" filtered list would suffice. Maybe trimmed to the top 50 or so processes ordered by CPU or memory, whichever is appropriate at the time.

    • Uptime (maintenance mode not included in downtime)
    • Reports (automatically generated WP-toolkit white label reports to send by email monthly to clients)
