Mod_pagespeed 'cache' clear button in speed settings panel
When tuning system for modpagespeed, http/2, PHP7 w/opcache, https, ran into issue with Apache, where turning modpagespeed off, then back on, or off then restarting doesn't clear cache. On a development site, I had to do a htaccess to fully disable in order to apply CSS changes which were 'stuck' -- a 'clear cache' option from panel would be super cool, vs command line ! :-)

website importing with different ip for ftp and www
The current website import function only allows entry of the source domain name.
I need to specify the ftp server details separately as for some hosts the ftp server is on a different ip to the website and the current import function fails as it fails to access either the website or ftp server depending on which info was entered as the source domain.6 votesThank you for your input!

Configuring the Default Remote Access Policy for MS SQL and PostgreSQL via UI
Right now, it is possible to manage Access Policy only for MySQL Database Servers only: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/database-servers/database-hosting-preferences.72875/
It would be good to manage Remote Access Policy for MS SQL and PostgreSQL via Plesk UI too.

Backblaze B2 Backups

Due to the nice facility offred by having a multiple bucket system, nothing would be easier and more secure than doing a backblaze B2 Backup. Also because of the competitive pricing.

Allow configuration of MSMTP (SMTP relay)
Currently, there is no way to permanently change the MSMTP config in /etc/msmtprc and the Plesk options in "Mail > External SMTP Server" are not enough for Gmail and Zoho to even work.
Gmail problem:
While sending you get
errormsg='the server sent an empty reply'
Fix: add "tls_starttls off" to /etc/msmtprc
Zoho problem:
https://talk.plesk.com/threads/its-not-possible-to-send-notification-emails-from-plesk-using-and-external-smtp-msmtp.344922/#post-836533Please provide for us a way to change the config template or include additional configs, like we have for e.g. proftpd in /etc/proftpd.d/

Migrate all crontabs and MySQL routines, events, users permissions
Please add to Plesk Migrator the ability to:
- migrate all crontabs, as currently, only the last created task for a domain will migrated;
- disable crontabs on target server before migration, to avoid unpredictable effects with those scripts that interact with the outside;
- MySQL routines;
- MySQL events;
- MySQL event scheduler status on/off;
- user permissions that you set from Tools&Settings > Database Servers > Manage via DB WebAdmin" - see https://snag.gy/HWyFRS.jpg

Offer proper sftp support through mysecureshell
It would be nice if Plesk by default installed sftp server software (such as http://mysecureshell.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ) that allows granting the user sftp access to his home directory only, without having to grant the user full SSH shell access.
Right now Plesk seems to be promoting FTPS as alternative for securely transfering files, but that simply does not work properly when the end-user has a firewall or NAT setup. Or when you have iptables rules on the server.
This is caused by that FTPS uses multiple TCP ports like normal FTP.
However because the control connection traffic is encrypted, firewall software…6 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

If target FTP folder is missing from FTP repository, Plesk Backup Manager shall create it
When it comesto FTP Backup one can configure external FTP space and det a folder to be used.
If that folder does not exist Plesk errors out this fact and the normal user is somehow lost.
It would be a nice feature to have a checkbox to be checked that says "create folder structure if not existing".

Change database autogenerated name convention in APS
Installing Wordpress 8or other apps) via APS, the autogenerated database name is something like 'wordpress_N' with N incrementing from 1, that is non-sense and causes great troubles when using Plesk Migrator to migrate a subscription to another server when there are already installed applications.
You may name the database like 'wordpressX' with X random, or include part of the domain name in the database generated name, for example if domain is named testdomain.tld the db name maybe 'testdomainX'.

Better migration of "PHP from OS vendor" parameters
Please consider the following use case:
- testdomain.tld on a CentOS target server is using "PHP from OS vendor" version 5.3;
- The destination server is Ubuntu 14, with newer version of PHP from OS vendor, so you install PHP 5.3 with Plesk Installer;
- The migrated testdomain.tld will have different PHP parameters that may cause disruption of the website.An example: PHP short open tag is enabled by default on PHP from CentOS repository, but is disabled on PHP 5.3 handler installed via Plesk Installer. If a PHP code uses short open tags, the script will stop working. Plesk…
4 votesThe problem may be in that destination server will not be able to use specified version of PHP for the migrated domain because of absence in official OS vendor’s repository. To prevent this kind of problems we see improvement of pre-migration checker which will notify you about possible post-migration issues. After that, the server administrator must solve the problem himself. The automatic resolving of these incompatibilities looks very dangerous.

Better MSSQL handling
MS SQL Server 2012 Express via Plesk Installer is configured to use dynamic ports by default and this causes a warning in Tools & Settings > Database Serrvers. Packages installed through your installer should not cause a warning by default :)
Improve the behavior of field "Allow remote connections from", under Domains > domain.tld > Databases > User Management > username because the generated firewall rule is OFF by default; maybe this is by design, infact the field description states "Your changes in this list will be pre-moderated by your hosting provider.", but the admin doesn't get any notification about…
