  1. ability to change IP for particular domain

    Currently, in Plesk it possible to change IP only on subscription level. As a result, the IP is changed for all domains under subscription. The ability to change IP on domain level would be very useful

    Please write exact scenarios of why do you want to hide this functionality in Plesk.

    Do you want to disable File Manager on a server or you would like to disable File Manager for particular customers only? And why?

    Your descriptions will help us to properly estimate if this idea is worth to be implemented or not.

  3. Add Mailman support to Let's Encrypt

    Please add Mailman support to Let's Encrypt.

    Ideally, one could issue either a certificate directly for lists.domain.com or a wildcard certificate for *.domain.com.

    Furthermore, a secure connection should be enforceable.

    Thanks!

  5. editable global mime types for apache (default for all virtual hosts)

    By default, apache will return wrong mime types for some file extensions (for examples font files).

    We can add additional mime types per website, however we can't edit them globally for all websites via plesk.

    We can achieve this by editing /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/mime-types.conf manually from cli, however plesk could provide a more comfortable way to do it.

    Please add option to edit global mime types that will be used by all virtual hosts by default and overridden if website has its own instructions.

  6. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) - features from Linux to Windows

    Please add support for Linux tools (and programming languages, such as Ruby) to Windows through Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and support for PLESK. Of course in the future. This function, in my opinion, is of great importance and gives Plesk a great advantage.

    Windows Server 2016 (1709) supports Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Semi-Annual Channel.

    Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) will be implemented in all versions of Windows Server 2019.

    I suppose that it would be better to move your hosting to Plesk for Linux if you want to use Linux technologies. Some years ago Apache was supported by Plesk for Windows but it was dropped due to high business cost and insufficient reliability and relevance. Therefore I’m not sure that it is good idea to spread resources to support Linux technologies on Windows servers.

    But anyway, thank you for your input! Maybe 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.

  7. SSH keys with passphrase protection

    Bitbucket repository provides the possibility to generate SSH keys with passphrase protection for better securing.
    However, Git extension in Plesk doesn't support passphrase protection and fails with "Permission denied" error.

    Consider adding passphrase protection as it will increase the security.

  8. Plesk billing solution for customer and reseller, e.g. like WHMCS

    I know that there is WHMCS billing solution but it is not intuitive and need lot of task to make it work.
    Please could you reflect including a Ready To Go billing solution, just by installing an extension, it could be a GREAT release !

  9. fail2ban - Add Details (Login Name)

    Often large Companies with lot's of Workstation are getting blocked because 1 Client in their Office is trying to log in with wrong Password (imap/pop/smtp) - then the whole Office of them is getting blocked and the search which PC/which User is causing the block.starts ...
    It would help big times if one got a reference which Login Name / Username caused the block as additional Info next to the IP ...
    Won't help on Brute Force Attacks where the Username changes ... but on this Scenario it would be a big Timesaver ...

    We're almost there. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.35, published on April 20th, 2021, we had already added the option to upload folders or multi-select-upload files. It may not yet be possible to download a complete directory in one step, but this can also be done in two steps by first creating an archive of it and then downloading the archive. 


    So this feature request is now about downloading a directory or a set of selected files in one step. Please keep voting for it if you believe that this is an important feature.

  13. Backup via SSHFS

    We have huge amounts of Backup Data (currently around 450gb per file). The whole process using FTP takes around ~ 13 hours to complete. Trying to restore something is a big bottleneck for us. Restoring from FTP is ****, and we searched for alternatives.

    We decided to give SSHFS a try by mounting /var/lib/psa/dumps to the remote Server and disconfigured the FTP Settings. The result is annoying. The Backup now takes around 2,5 hours, the Plesk Backend is really fast now and local space is not consumed anymore!

    So i suggest you to give SSHFS a try. It is like…

  16. Statistic usage per each page on website

    I can see the bandwidth of each domain on my webserver. But now i came with the idea (I dont know if it was requested before, or if it is a feature of the web host edition only) that you can see the bandwidth each page uses, so you can see it for the whole domain, but also every page you have in your plesk folder, so you have a more detailed overview what people like to look at on your page.Maybe a calculator how many mb one user uses (there are tools on the web for this, but something…

  17. install sql server reporting services with SQL server on shared hosting. Would be a valuable & useful feature for your product & consumers.

    Availability of reporting services on SQL server would be very useful on shared web hosting. My new ISP says Plesk doesn't support reporting services. I think it would be great if you did - not every site is a blog or simple brochure style. Any small scale business site still requires reporting, and SSRS is a natural fit for ASP.Net hosting.

  19. Put all nginx directives into one server block

    Hello,
    As it is possible to put more than one listen directives, putting only one server block would optimize a lot the Nginx config file.
    Also putting the index directive into the server part would avoid to put it in every / locations.

  20. Display backup restore progress bar and ETA for restore process

    Please enter the percentage of database restore in progress ... it is very frustrating to restore without knowing either the time left or the totality of kbytes transferred and remaining, with progress a bar
