add option to have dedicated php instance on a domain alias
I have noticed that on main domains and subdomains this is a option but when you add a domain alias this option does not seem to be there.
I would think this would be something useful to have especially if you are like us and have multiple domain alias pointing to one main site for files but wanting separate domains under one account like for us it is multiple ecommerce websites.
1 voteAs an alias is only a pseudonym for a domain, it cannot have a separate PHP instance. For that reason we must decline this request.
Instead, to have a dedicated PHP FPM handlers for additional domains that are using the same website directories and files, you need to add these domains as separate domains but with the same document root directory in "Web Hosting Settings".

Add hidden mail forwarding option
There should be an option to forward mail without letting the customer know it is enabled (to the extent permitted by the law).
Currently, it is possible to hide all mail settings from a service plan or subscription. More granular control to hide mail forwarding only, or an option to enable it separate from the customer's own forwarding settings, would help monitor malicious content.
1 voteNo information in which jurisdiction hidden mail forwarding (without the customer knowing about it) is allowed. As Plesk supports legal use only, we must decline this request.

Plesk Fire Wall to upload faster, and allow incremental changes
Plesk FW when having lots of rules, is SUPER SLOW, because the rules are handled by a bash script, whereas compiled executables which ia a lot faster, is not used. This is asked to be changed.
Also, please make sure the Fire Wall script does not call a DNS query for the host of each IP, as mentioned here:
https://serverfault.com/questions/85602/iptables-l-pretty-slow-is-this-normalAlso, as fail2ban may add a CIDR ip as x.x.x.x/12 within a blink of an eye, I am asking for Plesk to implement such incremental change ability on the Plesk Fire Wall As well
fail2ban-client -vvv set nginx_errors banip x.x.x.x/12
1 voteThank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, this request contains several different suggestions, and it's not technically possible to properly handle them inside one request. Please consider creating separate feature requests for each of the items.

Cluster mail server
I use Plesk for mail server if it could be cluster for 2 server redundancy it is really perfect.

Service plans for additional entities(domains/subdomains/emails)
It would be great to have an option to assign not only subscriptions, but also emails and subdomains to service plans. Hence, we'll be able to sell particular email and subdomain "subscriptions".
1 voteThis contradicts the product logic. Service plans are not created for business objects, but business objects are parts of service plans. We must decline this. Instead, you can already use "Add ons" to service plans to configure extra settings for business objects.

Ability to store domain mail content in the domain folder
Please add the ability to store domain mail content in the domain folder like in cPanel /home/$user/mail/domain.tld/emailuser/
In this case, it will be possible manually create a backup for website and mail content just by copying /home/$user/ folder and after restore this folder on the destination server.
1 voteCopy-transfer-insert operations on emails are frequently done, but are a flawed and unsafe method to migrate emails as just one single update (e.g. an incoming mail or an edit on either source or target) while the copying process is not yet completed can break indexes and render the target copy useless.
Providing direct access to mail files from a web space account will also have end users experiment with the files directly, which again will cause a high number of support cases with providers who lease webspace to their users.
Instead, please consider using the free "Site Import" extension which includes a "Mail Import" function, too. With that you can very easily and in a perfectly safe way migrate mailboxes between servers without the need to use a separate migration tool.
The request did not become popular anyway, so we must decline it.

Switch Fail2Ban to global Apache log if "Piped logs" option is enabled.
As for now, Fail2Ban parses error logs on a domain level. If there are more than 500 domains on the server and the "Piped logs" option is enabled in Apache configuration, it would be more efficient for Fail2Ban to automatically switch to a global Apache log.
2 votesThe request is based on the false assumption that it would be more efficient to parse only the central access_log if many domains are hosted on a server. In reality in such a scenario that log will grow huge very fast. This will increase parsing time of Fail2Ban considerably and can lead to stalling the service. Instead, for Fail2Ban it is much better to split jails, and on servers with many domains even split Apache jails into parts by domain start letter A ... Z so that the individual Fail2Ban process can finish swiftly and free resources again for other tasks.
For that reason we decline the request.

Implement logic for DDOS protected domains
As a hosting company we should have an option to give customers ddos protection.
The only implementation that works great is taking a domain, secure it with ddos protection service and generate customers a subdomain under this domain.
Lets say, example.com is protected under ddos protection software.
A customer clicks on "add domain" and if we blocked the option to add any domains, there will be only generated a subdomain under example.com, EG: website1223153.example.comThis subdomain would be protected by a ddos protection service.
The customer can create a CNAME to website1223153.example.com in order to connect his domain to the…1 voteEffective DDoS protection can only be done by hardware solutions that are installed between Internet and server. Traffic directed to the server must be analyzed, and in case of DDoS it must be blocked before it reaches the server, because bandwith of NICs and CPU power will always be too small to cope with attacks. Once an attack reaches the server it is "too late". For that reason we suggest speaking with your data center instead if they can provide a suitable router before your server or maybe you can check a well-known cloud service through which traffic to the host and domains hosted on that host is routed.

Separate folder for backups
Make it possible, to specify a separate path on reseller/customer basis, reasoning being that if there are physical hard drives dedicated to the customer they can not include the backups on it.
2 votesNo details were provided why the existing separation of user backups in folders is insufficient. Also Plesk does not support separate drives for different subscriptions. Such a scenario could be achieved by putting accounts on different servers, too. No further information was provided on this topic. Regarding the low number of votes on this feature we must decline it.

Allow creation of database users on different database servers configured on Plesk
In case when more than one database server are available on the Plesk server, e.g two or more MSSQL servers, it is possible to enable the "Database server selection" option on the subscriptions's service plan which allows creation of databases and database users on any database server available by default
It would be great, however, if the ability to create databases and database users on all database servers available were enabled separately, like below:
Option on service plan to allow creation of databases on any database server available, in case this option disabled, the subscription would be able to create…
