  1. MySQL-Config default to innodb_file_per_table with datadir

    Take some influence to MySQL-Konfiguration and always default to "innodbfileper_table= true" and "datadir=/var/lib/mysql/data".

    Makes optimization of tables and space-reclaim with larger databases possible. Might be a problem of bootstapping but is worth the effort.

  3. Clarify that underscores are automatically added by Plesk when creating SRV records

    Just Place some text on the SRV "add record" page to clarify that users don't have to add underscores to the service- and protocol names.

    If they do, there will be two underscores and Office 365 won't validate.

  4. Enable email subject and keywords to be blocked in spamfilter

    Allow users and admin to select subject lines and keywords as well as keywords in the email body to be added to the spamfilter blacklist.

    Currently spammers are just changing domains and sending the same email templates.

  5. Allow domain forwarding for every domain in a subscription, including the subscription domain

    Currently it is not possible to make domain-forwarding for every Domain in an Abonnement. You have to select website-Hosting for the first domain to enable Forwarding for other Domains.

    Many providers set a placeholder domain as the main subscription domain so that all domains actually "in use" in a subscription can be freely configured. Please consider this option as it will immediately solve the issue for you.


    Besides that, this is a valid request. Everyone, please keep voting for it if you believe it is important.

  6. Support HPKP

    I'd like to see HPKP integrated into the SSL certificate management of Plesk. This would allow, in combination with standard Nginx/Apache config, for a strongly recommended and worthwhile security element to be added to hosted sites.

    Testing tool
    https://securityheaders.io

  7. Blacklist of recipient target addresses in the spamfilter (useful for wildcard mailboxes)

    Hello,
    I miss the functionality of managing a blacklist of target email addresses in case you have a catchall email domain.
    In most cases, the originator address of spam emails changes every time, but the target address is frequently used.
    So with this functionality, I could drop out invalid recipient addresses, without giving up the setup to use catchall all emails <everything>@your-domain.
    This is useful to register webshops or community everytime using a separate target email address to distinguish incoming email if they are valid or not.

  8. Set start date on autoreply

    It would be useful to be able to configure auto replies so that they start automatically on a specific date.

    If I don't want to forget to set it before leaving.. or i'm sure there's many reasons!

  9. Add debug symbols for nginx builds

    We have a customer using plesk and nginx. The customer wants to use our APM tool also for monitoring nginx, but in order to get deep monitoring we need the debug symbols for nginx.

    The customer is currently using package sw-nginx-1.9.4-rhel6.15091112.x86_64.rpm. The contained nginx binary does not contain debug symbols and we also could not find a corresponding “dbg” package in the repository. Are the debug symbols publicly available somewhere else? If not, can you please provide them?

    It would be perfect if you can add the debug symbols for every nginx version in future to your repository as APM…

  10. Change the delete a website button text

    Just lost plenty of billing business emails because of a misleading text in Plesk for Windows. "Delete the Website" should be renamed "Delete Website and Email Accounts", or "Delete Domain Data". It is far from obvious than using this button will also erase email accounts. Talking about a website, email accounts are generally not counted as "associated data".

  12. Custom Email Server Help Tips

    The settings for mail servers have a help tip in the email addresses management page, and in the users' Plesk Account pages.

    If a Plesk server is set up strictly as a mail server, and has DNS handled remotely, the settings in the Help Tips can be incorrect.

    Currently the tips only show the server as the root domain even if the mail server's actual DNS points (as an example) mail.domain.tld to the server, requiring the settings to include the subdomain.

    If I add the domain as "subdomain.domain.tld" in settings, then the server tips are correct but the email addresses…

  13. Support enabling / disabling mod_wsgi

    As we all know, mod_python is not supported by Plesk 12.5 / CentOS 7 anymore (even if compiled manually).

    Odin suggests to install mod_wsgi instead. This however cannot be activated for domains separately or configured by service plans.

    Thus I would like to see this feature again - and probably its a real quick change in Plesk source code that would allow a nice way to take control over python permissions

  16. Setting alternate directory path location of the vhost per Domain or service packet

    At the moment it is not possible to change or choose the vhost path for a domain. Every Domain is installed in the standard vhost path, at example /var/www/vhosts
    If someone has a Server with attached fast and slow storage or big and small storage, it should be possible for the administrator to choose between them when installing a new Domain. It could be possible to give a customer service packages with faster storage for mission critical domains or giving him a lot of space for another domain located on disk drives mounted to another location.

    At the moment you can change default vhosts location in Plesk using the command-line utility transvhosts.pl
    Just check available options with

    plesk bin transvhosts.pl —help

    Changing vhosts directory location for part of domains is impossible now.

    Anyway thank you for your input. 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.

  17. add backup password protection to Backup Manager Backups (NO..it doesn't have it at the mo)

    This may also be a security issue.
    Currently there are no special protection of user content in the backup. Plesk protects only its sensitive data, web content archived without any encryption.

    If some gains ADMIN access to a wordpress/drupal/other web applications install parts of the Plesk container file system, cron jobs, etc will be compromised and would undoubtably increase exponentially the chances of the system to be exploited with virus, rootkits, malware “indirectly” affecting Plesk. (as an analogy no point to build a metal wall if the door is still glass)

    So, in other words ... if a wordpress installation…

    Hello,
    Thanks for your input, we understand the importance. This Feature request is registered in our tracking system as PPM-344 and it will be included into future Plesk versions. There is no ETA at the moment, but we would really appreciate you voting for this request so that we can accurately assess its popularity relative to other features. Thanks in advance!

  18. Dovecot: mdbox and alternate storage support

    http://forum.odin.com/threads/dovecot-mdbox-and-altmove-support-in-plesk.334620/

    It would be really handy if we could, via Plesk panel or some cli utility, o switch from Maildir to mdbox as mailbox storage format and enable alternate storage for old emails. This way we can optimize the disk usage by using the fast storage media for recent emails, while the old stuff can go on a slower, cheaper media. Will also help a lot in growing our mail customer base without forking out ridiculous amounts of money for expensive fast disks arrays to keep up with the growth rate.

  20. Changing soa serial format by using the XML RPC API

    It is possible to set the soa serial format either over the Plesk Panel or the command line, f.e.

    /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --update-soa <domain_name|domain_alias_name> -soa-serial-format timestamp|yyyymmddnn

    However, the XML RPC API should provide a possibility to change the soa serial format, too. Currenlty, the XML RPC API only allows to manipulate the values for the SOA's ttl, refresh, retry, expire and minimum.
