  2. Restrict customers from granting access to panel for mailboxes

    Give administrator permission to restrict ability to enable access to panel for newly created mailboxes and existing mailboxes for customer.
    So the checkbox "Access to the Customer Panel" is not going to be visible under customer in Domains > example.com > Email Addresses > Create Email Address or for already created mailbox.

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

    I would very much appreciate if you add some explanation comments why you prefer Amazon Linux instead of already supported OSes (like CentOS/Debian/RedHat/Ubuntu). Why it is important for you?

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

  4. On removal of a subscription or domain remove symlink to vhost config first, then do the rest

    We sometimes set an immutable bit on .htaccess so the resellers can`t remove it.

    As the reseller may remove the subscription it gives an apache error as the system user is removed but the vhost is not.

    In my opinion, this removal flow should do the following:
    - Remove the symlink to the vhost config
    - Remove the system user
    - Remove the vhost directory (if this fails, send an email with the reason why rm failed, instead of the reason httpd cannot restart)

    By first removing the symlink to the config, whatever happens during the deletion of the vhost…

  5. Don't Auto-Replay when X-Auto-Response-Suppress is set (RFC3834)

    In order to comply with RFC3834 the auto replay function should consider the X-Auto-Response-Suppress header. Also not replaying to mail with Auto-Submitted: auto-generated would be nice.

  6. Add option to Whitelist IP in Fail2Ban and mod_security

    I always need to whitelist IPs in Firewall, Fail2Ban and mod_security.

    u could add at least an option to also whitelist fail2ban in mod_security or even make two checkboxes in Firewall whitelisting to whitelist ip in all three modules.

    also usage of dns instead of ip would be greate for example PayPal does recomment to whitelist dns for api!

  7. Enable SSH Key Generate via Plesk Control Panel

    With the SSH Manager inside Plesk Onyx, it is extremely easy to add a new key to a subscription. The problem is, most users don't understand how to generate a key with tools like PuTTYgen and explaining it to them leaves them very confused. It would be very handy if, inside the SSH manager there was a way to request a new key pair be generated and added to a subscription automatically, so users don't have to go through the hassle of generating a key.

  8. Make utf8mb4 default when backing up mysql databases

    When i backup database with Plesk (either with Export/Import feature or with Backup Manager), it loses all characters outside Unicode BMP (all characters > 0xFFFF).
    It's because mysqldump default charset is utf8, not utf8mb4.

    This should be changed, for example, if database contains at least one field with utf8mb4 charset - mysqldump should be run with --default-character-set=utf8mb4 option.

    Settings in /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqldump.cnf are not respected too, it works when i use mysqldump from command-line, but doesn't work when i export or backup db with plesk.

    MySQL dump 10.13 Distrib 5.7.25, for Linux (x86_64)
    MySQL Server version 5.7.25-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
    Plesk version: Plesk Onyx…

  10. Lock DNS records | Disable Reset to default

    We have the "dmarc"- record in our template having a placeholder for the value. At the time the Record "dmarc" was edited by adding the value, mostly every DNS record is no more in the state of the DNS template.

    Therefore it is important to have some policies:
    - The button "Reset to default" can be disabled on Admin and Reseller level.
    - The button "Master/*****" can be disabled. Usually this functionality is not needed.
    - For certain very important DNS setting, a "Lock" button might make sense. If applied, this record can not be edited anymore by…

  12. WHMCS module for WordPress Toolkit

    Is it possible to have an WHMCS module created exclusively for WordPress Toolkit, in order to allow clients to use it's options from within WHMCS's client areas?

    Basically have clients don't leave WHMCS client areas and perform some actions from within their WHMCS client account (add new site if set multiple WordPress installs in hosting package, backup and restore, install let's encrypt ssl, activate/deactivate nginx, remove site, creati staging site etc...).

  13. Exclude internal requests from the Traffic statistics

    Plesk seems to add up the request response size,
    including those of its own extenal IP address.
    We would like to disable this behaviour or filter out this info, because
    this is not the actual traffic.

    We have customers that have a lot of internal requests because of some
    caching module where about 50% of the total traffic is from its own IP.

  16. Add warning message if Postgres installed on the Web Admin License but without Developer pack extension

    The Postgres installed on the Plesk Web Admin edition but not persists in Tools & Settings > Database servers.

    To manage PostgreSQL Developer pack extension required. But it does not produce any warnings about that which is confusing.

    Also, there is no information about Developer pack in license management. I would suggest to add new tab "paid extension" in Tools & Settings > Licensing management

    In WP Multisite installations you have one single WP controlling many different websites and domains. "Cloning" a multisite installation seems to be a challenge, because when you clone a site, you need to mention a target where to clone the site to (a new URL, a new subdomain). As a multisite installation has many URLs, it seems impossible to clone these to one single domain. It will be unclear which domain is actually cloned or how to map source to target.

    But as always, we're open for ideas and would love to hear more details from you how you imagine the workflow. Please describe in your comments what you expect to happen when you clone a multisite installation, e.g. how you'd want to map source to target(s). Would you for example want to see a dialog where you can enter new domains and subdomains for each existing URL in the…
