Improve the Backup Manager for when it freezes or aborts when using S3/Scaleway
Plesk should have a native mechanism to detect when a backup job is stuck; helping to manage backups more efficiently without relying on manual intervention.
Plesk should allow backups to automatically resume from the point where they fail, rather than starting from the beginning; saving time and resources, especially for large backups.

Be able to change URL structure of domains in Preview mode
The preview in "Quick Preview" mode only allow a basic preview, without usage of SSL/TLS certificates, as the URLS begin with the IP address, like this:
http://111.222.333.444/plesk-site-preview/www.some-website.com/The "Quick Preview on a domain name in Plesk" could be improved. It allows to select an existing domain as a "support" for previewing websites. This sounds promising, as a SSL/TLS certificate already exists on this domain name.
But the problem is that the preview Urls generated by Plesk now use a different structure based on subdomains, like this: http://some-website.com.212-83-133-74.preview-domain.com/
This is rendering this functionality cumbersome : need to add this "some-website.com.111-222-333-444" subdomain…

Listen on all IPs for all vhosts
Let the webserver for all vhosts listen on all IPs on a server. With Apache httpd you can use * instead of the IP (or list all IPs on a server). This would make it easier to migrate users between servers without having to manually check the IP to update the (external) DNS. This would also make it possible to prepare everything for IPv6 at the same time as you would only need to add AAAA records after this step.

Allow to postpone changes to DNS zone
Sometimes it is not convenient to reload all zones on every change, so it would be helpful to have an option to apply changes either immediately, or at a designated time.

Enhancing the visibility of protection status in WordPress Toolkit
Recently, Plesk added a vulnerability status feature to the WordPress Toolkit, which is a great step forward. However, both the vulnerability status and the protection status are currently accessed through the same link, making it harder to find the protection details quickly.
It would benefit users, especially those less familiar with these features, if Plesk were to separate these into two distinct links. This way, the protection status would be more visible and easier to access, helping users stay informed about the security of their WordPress installations without extra steps.
For example, the current "Security: Fix vulnerabilities" entry in the…

Add option to create temporary admin account in WordPress Toolkit for support access
Our customers regularly ask us to assist by logging into their WordPress site. It would be very helpful if the WordPress Toolkit had an option to create a temporary additional admin account, allowing us to log into their WordPress website securely for troubleshooting or support.

Custom color wheel for private branding
Currently, Plesk provides only two options for branding customization, which can be limiting for users managing multiple internal companies with distinct branding needs. I propose the addition of a custom color wheel for private branding in Plesk.
This feature would allow administrators to choose from a broader range of colors, offering more flexibility in aligning the Plesk interface with specific company branding. For users handling multiple companies, this customization option would be a significant improvement, making it easier to differentiate between brands.

Display MySQL/MariaDB versions with warnings for unsupported versions in the Dashboard
Many users run unsupported versions of MySQL or MariaDB, leading to issues such as failed updates or database errors. Since Plesk only supports LTS versions of MySQL/MariaDB, it's important to make this clear to administrators.
I propose adding the following improvements to the Dashboard:
- Display the installed MySQL/MariaDB version directly on the Dashboard.
- Include warnings for unsupported MySQL/MariaDB versions, with a color-coded alert system similar to the OS warnings.
These warnings should also link to support articles that explain the importance of running supported database versions and provide instructions for updating to a supported version.
By implementing this, administrators can…

Add warnings for unsupported operating systems in the Dashboard
Many Plesk users continue to run outdated operating systems, which often results in non-functional repositories, failed updates, or even security risks. While the current Dashboard displays "Server Information," including the OS version, it lacks any warnings about the support status of the operating system.
I propose adding the following to the Dashboard:
- Display an orange warning when the OS has 6 months or less of support remaining.
- Display a red warning when the OS is end-of-life and no longer receives updates.
These warnings should include links to support articles explaining the risks and offering steps to update or migrate the…

Feature Suggestion for Plesk WordPress Toolkit: Notification Control per Subscription
I would like to propose an enhancement to the Plesk WordPress Toolkit to address an issue with email notifications sent to end users. Currently, the toolkit sends nightly email alerts regarding available updates for WordPress plugins, themes, and the WordPress version. However, there is no option for server administrators to disable these notifications on a per-subscription basis.
This lack of granularity means that administrators cannot tailor the notification settings according to individual user preferences, which may lead to annoyance for end users receiving notifications they do not wish to see.
I propose extending the WordPress Toolkit to allow end users…

Code Auto Indent
Automatically indenting code will be a very useful feature, similar to various other IDEs such as Notepad++ & VSCode to name a few. It will help in keeping the code aesthetic & clean and also allow the next person who will work on it to get a very quick understanding of the "flow of logic". Thank you.

Add IP Address and "non-existent mailbox" to plesk_saslauthd Authentication Logs
In the "maillog" program logs, which contain "server plesk_saslauthd" entries, the IP addresses are not recorded. During brute force attacks from multiple IPs, there are failed login attempts to non-existent mailboxes. While these attacks don't pose a direct threat, they consume server resources and could become dangerous if they target existing mailboxes.
I request that IP addresses be added to the "server plesk_saslauthd" logs, along with information about non-existent mailboxes, to improve filtering through fail2ban.
Current log:
Sep 20 08:14:00 server plesk_saslauthd[117757]: failed mail authentication attempt for user 'example@domain.com' (password len=14)Suggested log:
