  1. SPAM protection - Check if sender Mail domain exists

    For better SPAM Protection it would be nice to add an Option to let the Mailserver check, whether senders Domain is existing or even not.

    I got Mails from "Domain.xyz" wich is of Course no valid TLD.
    "Reply-To" is of Course an valid Mail adress.

    On request, my Data-Center told me they could activate that Option, but while Plesk is Controlling that config, on next Plesk update the Change gets lost.

    So: Could you add in Plesk that Feature as an Option?

  2. Backup single account

    It would be great to have a single interface to manage backups of individual accounts (single-domain or single user).
    I would like to manage a single server backup ftp and let me choose which accounts to backup.

    Obviously the backup file must be "single" for each account and not a single file for the entire server. If you want to make the restore of a single account, I have to use a single backup file.

    Currently I have a script that through bash (or cygwin for windows) backs up the single account by bees and upload via ftp on external…

  3. Express transfer: migration manager option to change IP address

    cPanel has a feature much appreciated: transfer in "Express Transfer".
    This feature allows you to migrate one or more domains from a source server to a server with changing IP ADDRESS from old to new server.

    I think it's time to apply it in Plesk.

  5. Email notifications frequency

    With email notifications enabled e.g for account expiration, the system starts to send emails every day since the x days in advance, which is annoying.
    It would be nice if we could customize the frequency and create a schedule like for example:
    1 email 30 days before
    1 email 20 days before
    1 email 10 days before
    1 email 7 days before
    1 email each day from 3 days before till expiration date.

  6. change domain alias

    when i have a domain alias (lets say alias.com) for domain test.com and i want to change the alias to test2.com, if have to delete the alias and recreate it.
    if i have many custom dns records in the alias, i have to create them again manually.
    it should be possible to just change the aliases "main-domain"

    Since Plesk 18.0.46 Nginx is shipped with GeoIP module. Please see https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/website-management/websites-and-domains/extended-website-management/plesk-for-linux-setting-up-ip-geolocation-for-a-website.80011/


    While this feature request is asking for an Apache module, we are wondering whether this is still needed as the same goals can be achieved with Nginx GeoIP in a much better way with less server resources. 

    Please comment in this feature request why you still need the Apache GeoIP module.

  16. Configuring Email Notifications for Resellers

    Resellers should be able to configure the "Email Notifications" (http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/Doc/en-US/online/plesk-administrator-guide/index.htm?fileName=59422.htm) like the admins, so they can have a whitelabled Hosting, independet from other Reselles and the Admin. Otherwise, all Clients, from different Reselles, get the same email.

    In addition to that, a HTML Support, the Subject and the sender (email from) should be able to edit by each reseller, or by those, who have the permissions to do that.

    Thanks for your attention

  18. Temporary FTP accounts (with expire date)

    It would be great to have ftp account with an expire date.
    A sort of temporary ftp accounts.

    This becomes really usefull when you need to share your ftp details temporary with a webdeveloper, or somebody else to maintain of check an website.

    I always make a new FTP account for this sort of events, but then forget to delete them. It would be real nice if you could set a expire date that the account automaticly blocks itself after that date is past.
