Automatic/option for hiding of Plesk, PHP, Apache, Nginx, Wordpress, Drupal, etc. 'reveals'
It would be so useful to accommodate one hardening feature, and that would be to switch on/off the server reveal options for Nginx/Apache (Lightspeed, whatever), the expose_php attribute for the version number in PHP (and equivalent in Perl, etc.), the Wordpress/Drupal (and Joomla, etc.), reveal of their presence and version numbers. See this article for the cybersecurity relevance of that (there's a lot more on the 'securityheaders.com' website and free checkers for all of this there too), but I pick this as an illustration of what I'm referring to with php:

Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.
Here I'd like to add, though, that in the real world attackers simply test a website against all known vulnerabilities, regardless what webserver, PHP or other software version they detect. Actually, such version information are of no interest, they simply drive tests against all known flaws. So adding the feature will probably not help against hacking attempts.

Modify Wordpress integrity checker for security optimisations
So if I create a new Wordpress installation and then I make certain minor security adjustments that are highly recommended in cybersecurity forums, then I will get errors that it is broken through Plesk. I will then forever more be warned that it is broken in Plesk (not in Wordpress) on account of absence of those files, which (as I say) is a deliberate choice I made).
Ideally this would be modified in the install process (e.g. question: "Would you like to remove the readme and license files after installation?" (then explain why it is important to in a hover…

Allow setting MAILFROM field in crons from Plesk Interface
When a customer adds a cronjob within the Plesk interface through "Scheduled tasks", they can set the recipient (MAILTO field) of the cron with the "Send notifications to" field, but there is no option to set the sender (MAILFROM field). By default, the sender for crondaemon is user@server.tld, which in our case causes SPF errors with the receiving mail server of the recipient.
We do not give our clients CLI access, so they cannot manually set it with the crontab -e command, nor should they (the whole point of the Plesk Interface is for GUI-style ease of use). Could…

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.

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…2 votesThank 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…

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.

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.

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…

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.,

Application pool status page

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.

make plugin pack installation able to handle dependent plugins
This feature request originated here: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/plugin-package-cannot-be-installed-premium-plugin-requires-base-plugin.371482/
The problem is that plugin X needs to be active so plugin Y can be activated. (In my case, it was the AIOS plugin with its premium version, which WP toolkit wasn't able to activate)
It seems that WP Toolkit tries to activate all plugins at once when installing a plugin pack. An option to tell WP Toolkit to enable each plugin alone in the order they were added to the plugin pack instead of all together would be useful in this case. But there are probably more ways to optimize WP toolkit for…
