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".

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…

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

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

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…

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.

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.

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?
14 votesThank you. As far as I remember this checking can be configured by spamassassin but anyway we will consider the possibility of implementing this feature in future Plesk releases.

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…

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.

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.18 votesThank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases, if it will be popular.
