  1. 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.

  3. A REST API for IMAP

    Having a built-in REST API for IMAP, either similar to or compatible with the Gmail API would be amazing, especially if you could limit user rights in Plesk so that you could have domain specific access, or read-only access etc. The imapapi linked to nodemailer is a huge step forward but integration with Plesk would be ideal since security is paramount for an API that can access mail. Obviously this is a long-term request.

  4. Webhooks

    I imagine most sysadmins would like the idea of being able to set up webhooks for many of the notifications sent out via Plesk so that we can log this info and/or act on it.

    Some notifications that would be great to be able to add webhooks for:
    1. A user/attacker gets blocked for using the wrong password too many times on an email or ftp account
    2. Email account/hard drive reaches specified capacity
    3. Apache is down!
    4. Server is down
    5. DNS issues
    6. Let's encrypt issues

    I'm sure there are plenty more situations where webhooks would be…

  6. Please automate DNS for Certification Authority Authorization (CAA)

    After adding a certificate for a domain, plesk could add automatically the right DNS settings for CAA.

    Example: Adding a certificate from Let's Encrypt, Plesk could add an CAA Record with the right tags.

    Until now i added the records for Let's Encrypt in the DNS template, which is okay. The records needs to be changed manually, if a different certificate was installed.

  8. Add CLI command that prevents installation of the plugins that are shipped with WordPress by default

    For example, the customer has a WordPress set with the required plugins.

    And this WordPress set is defined in ServicePlans > ServicePlanName > Additional Services > WordPress Toolkit

    However, after creating the subscription example.com in Domains > example.com > WordPress > Plugins can be found that plugins like Hello Dolly or Akismet Anti-Spam are also installed however they were not pre-selected.

    Please add the CLI method to prevent the installation of such unnecessary for customer plugins.

  9. Make possible to manage limit_req_zone for nginx

    modbw cannot be used for limiting connection when nginx enabled. Plesk does not provide out of box enabling and configuring limitation of connections for nginx. Please add support for limitreqzone which provide similar functionality as modbw for nginx so that it would possible to control such resources.

    We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is  popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

    However, please be aware that rate-limiting web traffic can and should normally be done using iptables as it is much more effective and resource savvy doing it on the operating system/kernel level. If there are issues with web traffic, it is best to not to let it get to the web server in the first place.

  12. Retrieve the WordPress password and admin username of the customer

    We'd like to auto-deploy some wordpress instances on our Plesk server. I've tested the Wordpress Toolkit, and it works great, but I have one problem : The Wordpress admin password isn't sent to the customer.

    I know that we can read the password from the Plesk Interface, but I'd like our users to get their wordpress password without having them to log on into Plesk.

    Please implement any solution to send the Wordpress password to the customer, e.g to get it trough the API call or to be able to sent the email notification directly from Plesk.

  15. Add "mail.example.com" (mail subdomain) in Subject Alternative Names when option "Assign the certificate to mail domain" is selected

    Currently almost all mail clients (I used) need the server address to be in the Subject Alternative Names on the certificate, meaning if the configured address is "mail.example.com" instead of "example.com", that first subdomain is not present in the certificate, even when the option "Assign the certificate to mail domain" is selected when issuing the certificate.

  16. Plesk backups scheduling by default after plesk installation without any request to change

    On any Plesk server 18.0.29 has been installed by default recently (ie fresh install), Plesk has been enabling backups by default to run every night. We can't see any notification of this change of behavior in the release notes. It should be possible to decide to enable backup on initial Plesk installation as this of course uses significant disk space, this has caused us considerable disruption and cost.

  18. Purge before restore (delete existing content before restoring from backup)

    If I want to restore all files of a domain because the website has been hacked.... default restoration will simply overwrite existing file.

    In the cased of a hacked website, hackers can add suspicious files on the domains and those files won't be remove upon restoration.

    It will be great to have an option allowing us to opt for a purge before restoration so that we can completely replace the files, databases, etc. and not simply overwrite existing files.

  19. Require domain TXT record verification before adding domain to Plesk.

    Require domain TXT record verification before adding domain to Plesk.

    Plesk need to implement an option to require domains to be verified like for example Let's Encrypt with a TXT record with a key value, that Plesk can check on an admin specified interval like 5 mins perhaps, with a self-cleaning feature that removes un-verified domains after X days.

    So as Plesk administrator you can activate the domain verification option on subscription level, that requires the customers to verify their domain, when using the function "add domain".

    So "add domain" should have an initial state of "awaiting verification" before it…

  20. WordPress needs to update the database automatically for multisite setup

    if you update WordPress in a multisite setup – WordPress needs to update the database. It would be great to have that done automatically.

    At the moment WordPress Toolkit does not upgrade network for multisite setup and does not handle post-update actions that may be required by some plugins. Please let me know if you'd like me to open a request at Plesk UserVoice if you want to see that implemented.
