    When removing a domain from Plesk, if the domain is associated with other domains then a warning should appear to show what associated domains would also be removed. Without this warning, it may remove the entire Plesk subscription along with all associated domains, which is not easily recoverable.

  3. I would like to be able to acquire SSL certificate of Let's Encrypt for subdomain of www.

    I would like to be able to acquire SSL certificate of Let's Encrypt for subdomain of www.
    For example
    If example.com is another server, SSL certificate of www.example.com can not be acquired by Let's encrypt
    I want you to be able to do it.

  4. WHMCS module / API to provision Docker containers.

    Docker support is already a killer of Plesk (something I had begged for in WHM/cPanel before switching).

    It would be epic if I could allow customers to purchase and provision a Docker container automatically from WHMCS. Obviously, there would have to be some tight control and they would only be pre-defined images. It must be a list of images that I curate since many Docker images do not provide sufficient environmental variables - example: official Redis doesn't let you pass a password, but others like bitnami/redis and
    frodenas/redis allow you to pass REDIS_PASSWORD, which is necessary for a shared environment…

  5. Ability to enable "Serve static files directly by nginx" by default.

    It would be nice if, in general, I could enable "Serve static files directly by nginx" by default in Service Plans > Web Server.

    This would also have the added side effect of solving the problem where the default Plesk web site page is blank when PageSpeed is enabled.

  6. Allow multiple Docker hosts (local and remote), ability to specify host per container.

    The Docker extension only allows you to "one service at a time" (ie, localhost, or a remote).

    It would be nice if when I provision a Docker container that I could choose to provision it on localhost (for speed, security) or remotely (for containers that don't need to run on the shared host and/or consume significant resources).

    For example, I almost always want to provision Redis locally for speed, but if someone wanted something like MS SQL Server 2017 (4GB RAM minimum), I'd probably want to put it on a dedicated Docker remote with a high memory configuration (extreme example…

  7. Make default Plesk Firewall rules more strict

    Right now "System policy for outgoing traffic" rule is set to allow all outgoing traffic as default which is not secure enough.

    Please consider to make default firewall rules for outgoing traffic more secure and allow only Plesk services to send outgoing packets

  8. Exclude mailboxes for a specific domain from a backup

    Hello,

    While creating backup via Plesk control panel it would be great to have ability exclude email accounts of particular domain name, not all email accounts at once.
    This is due to the fact that when the mail accounts are very large, it significantly increases the time to create a backup, and causes it's freezing as a result.

    Thanks.

  10. Add support for MySQL Governor for CloudLinux

    Currently Plesk does not support MySQL Governor feature https://docs.cloudlinux.com/index.html?mysql_governor.html
    and mapping file /etc/container/dbuser-map has to be updated manually

    Plesk already has integration with CageFS and LVM and detects it once those features installed on the server. It would be great if support for MySQL Governor be implemented in future.

  11. NodeJS Allow more environment variables

    When setting environment on a NodeJS App (using NodeJS extension) I am getting to the limit of four variables, sometimes five.

    I assume that line ending is reached or something. I am connecting to several mongodb databases and for each db I need to auth which is set within an environment variable.

    This limits my app a lot since I need to build overcomplicated workarounds using files to be loaded async and their content to be validated, then connecting to the db and so on.

  12. PostgreSQL integration and tuning

    Please do better integration of PostgreSQL into Plesk like CPU and memory usage in Health Monitoring and Dump button in Database page. Please also add PostgreSQL tuning into Plesk, especially for modern hardware with 32 or 64 GB memory and 4 to 8 cores and fast SSD or NVMe drives. Thanks!

  13. Woocommerce Plesk Integration

    What should this integration do?
    - it should allow the sale of hosting subscriptions using a Woocommerce,
    - it should be compatible with the Subscriptions plugin to charge monthly or annual payment. (https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/)

    Why You may want this integration?
    - If you use Wordpress, it will be a simple and quick way to implement the payment for your hosting services.
    - Woocomerce is the most popular e-commerce solution in the world. It is flexible and has a lot of integrations with other wordpress plugins. If you want to sell not only hosting, it may be a gold mine…

  16. Git Workflow: DEVELOPMENT > PRODUCTION

    Many developers use git these days when working on a website or webapp. It would be great if Plesk supports a simple deployment workflow:

    Example when using two branches:
    - development
    - master

    Branch "development" will be automatically deployed by Plesk to /var/www/vhosts/example.com/dev.example.com => connected to https://dev.example.com
    Branch "master" will be automatically deployed by Plesk to /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs => connected to https://www.example.com

    What about database connectivity?
    When using different databases for development and master you should not include your "database-connection.ini" into git but manually store it in the designated directory and edit via Plesk File Manager for example.

    What about access…

  17. WordPress Toolkit - Plugins/Themes view - Show only items which have update available, hide already updated

    Going to WordPress toolkit's Plugins view I get a listing of over 3000 plugins. It is quite hard to pick one-by-one the plugins that I choose to upgrade. It would be great to have a "filter" on that page, that I can only show the plugins that have updates available, hiding already updated plugins

  18. Add Microsoft SQL Server PHP extensions to Plesk Linux

    They can be disabled by default (and optionally be enabled in PHP Settings, 7.0-7.1 only). The drivers appear to be quite stable - I have successfully installed them in Plesk on Ubuntu 16.04 and CentOS 7.4.

    This is especially interesting since SQL Server 2017 is available for Linux and Docker.

    Once the extensions are installed/enabled, the follow-up request would be to allow me to add remote MS SQL databases in Plesk Linux (not limited to RDS - any remote MS SQL instance).

  20. Change default notification setting for task 'secur-check'

    I suggest to change the default notification setting for cron task '/opt/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/secur-check' because now it is set to "Every time" but is useless to get the following output at every run:
