RHEL 7 to RHEL 8 and above in-place upgrade support

Make the migration status clearer
Make the migration status clearer, If there is a "[Details]" link beside the domain or overview of the process -- it should include EVERYTHING and not just errors. That is pathetic design and any user if going to expect ALL log data and not just errors.
1 voteThe migration log is already extremely detailed and adjustable in level of detail, but you may not have seen the option to view it. Please click on the "Log" tab. You can either let the tree expand automatically or you can click on the "+" or "-" icons to expand specific branches of the tree. You can also download the full log from that page. For all transactions including separate domain migrations you can see detailed steps what is happening.

you should add a shell or a terminal directly linked to the web hosting server
Adding a shell or terminal directly linked to the web hosting server can provide users with direct access to server commands and functionalities. Here are some considerations and points to keep in mind when implementing such a feature:
Security Measures:
Security should be a top priority. Ensure that the shell or terminal is properly secured to prevent unauthorized access.
Implement authentication mechanisms to verify the identity of users before granting access to the shell.
Use encryption (e.g., HTTPS) to secure communication between the client and the server.
Access Control:Implement access controls to restrict certain commands or functionalities based on…
1 voteThe shell can already be used with the browser and graphical user interface. Please install the free "SSH" extension from the extensions page.

do not use the external email address of the user as the sender of Let`s Encrypt renewal notifications.
Appearantly Plesk is using the Administrators EXTERNAL email address whenever sending Let's Encrypt renewal notifications to the certificate "owners".
Since its not uncommon that a Plesk server is NOT an authenticated sender for an EXTERNAL email domain these messages tend to end up in the spam folder of the receipient if accepted by their email server (which might be external too) at all.
I'd like my Plesk Installtion to use the admins/users standard email address as the sender address instead, chances are that the server is indeed an authenticated sender for those email adresses.
1 votePlesk uses the email address for certificates that is set in the email address input line on the dialog where you can issue a certificate. The user can freely choose which email address is entered.

Switch the domain while on the Create Email Address page
It would be nice to have a dropdown on the Create Email Address page, so that I may create mailboxes for other domains via that page instead of having to switch to the domains before doing so.
1 voteThis feature is already available. Instead of starting mailbox creation from within a domain, simply start it from the subscription level. For example: Login to your subscription, then click on the "Mail" menu. When you click "Create EMail Address" from there, you are taken to a mailbox creation page where you can select the domain for which you create the mail address right next to the mail address input box. After you created a mailbox you are taken to the same mailbox overview page again an can create another mailbox for the same or another domain using the drop down.

Webserver default site: Option for "none, without Plesk default page"
I don't want to assign a specific web site for the server's IP address, but I also don't want to show visitors the Plesk default page. Current workaround is to create a domain "defaultpage.tld" that delivers an empty page to make the monitoring happy.
Downside of this is that it wastes a domain license.
Would be nice, in "Tools & Settings > IP Addresses" to have another option "none, empty page".
1 voteFor technical reasons of how Apache works, it is not possible to create an empty page site without defining any ip address. A web server must listen to an ip address to being able to respond, even if it responds with an empty page. Apache sieves traffic through all known domain names that are configured on the server until it finds no more virtual host entries. Then it defaults to the standard page.
This standard page is the Plesk page that you see. But there is an easy solution to achieve exactly what you want: You can simply replace the content of that standard page with anything you like. You can put a website into it or you can remove the existing file content so that the web server delivers the empty, white page you desire. Have a look at the content of /var/www/vhosts/default/htdocs. This is your document root for…

Ability to export/extract certificate for domain with cli,

php version outdated, please update to latest version
php version outdated, please update to latest version
1 voteAs of October 9th, 2023, Plesk supports PHP versions up to 8.2. We will also support newer versions very shortly after they become available. You can select a newer PHP version from the PHP link in "Websites & Domains". If your server does not yet offer that version, please use the "Updates & Upgrades" function to install the latest PHP versions from Plesk updates on the server. If you are not the "admin" user of the server, please ask the "admin" user to do it for you.

Add Secure Website Button For SSL
Be great if you could secure your website directly from the Advanced screen in the SSL section of a subscription. Currently, you have 'Secure Webmail' and 'Secure Mail' buttons but no website. A third button should be added so we don't have to click out of that screen and have to go to the hosting settings page to change the website SSL.
1 voteI tried to find the place that you mention - "Advanced" section - and the buttons you mention, but failed. I can only see a very simply click-path here: On "Websites & Domains" click on "SSL/TLS Certificates", then click the "Install button". You can check all desired options of the certificate and click "Get it free" to install the certificate. If a certificate already exists, a click on "Websites & Domains" > "SSL/TLS Certificates" leads to a page where you can edit SSL settings or click "Reissue" if you want to apply changes to the certificate.
If you require assistance with these or other SSL/TLS options, please desdribe te issue on the Plesk forum https://talk.plesk.com or please contact Plesk support at https://support.plesk.com.

Allow csv export of IP Addresses for easy export to new server when setting up the configuration.
Allow for easy export of various values in Plesk as CSV values. In my case I am generating a yaml file for the server that I am migrating my Plesk server to that contains a lot of IP addresses. Plesk's migration extension is good, but it complains about the lack of available IP addresses on the new server, IP addresses we may not want active/live until the cutover from dev to prod.
I can copy/paste line by line so this is the lowest of low priorities for me.
1 voteAt least three easy solutions already exist to export the list of IP addresses:
1: As CSV:
# plesk db -Ne "SELECT ip_address FROM psa.IP_Addresses INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/ip_addresses.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';"
2: As XML:
# plesk bin ipmanage -xi
3: As a formatted text list:
# plesk bin ipmanage -l

Add LuaSandbox (for MediaWiki)
In the early 2010s, to offer better support for logic and faster processing, MediaWiki started supporting Lua through the Scribunto extension. Scribunto has grown out to become a mature, well-maintained and popular solution (it is, for instance, heavily used on Wikipedia, to mention the best known wiki), but those on shared hosting currently have to miss out. Please let the next version of Plesk ship.with LuaSandbox (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/LuaSandbox, https://pecl.php.net/package/LuaSandbox), the safest way to run Lua code.
1 voteLuaSandbox is a PHP extension that is available as a PECL module. Since December 2022 (Plesk Obsidian 18.0.49) you can easily add such PECL extensions to PHP from within Plesk. You can manage PHP extensions in your "admin" account in Tools & Settings > PHP Settings > choose the desired handler > Manage PECL Packages.

Assign a user to access only specific subscriptions
Currently, there is no option to selectively assign a user to access multiple subscriptions.
The available choices are limited to granting access to either a single subscription or all subscriptions.1 voteAs on a subscription level the security model does not allow to add a role user to one subscription who can access another subscription, too, (that would break the security model, because then users could create their own permissions to access other users' subscriptions) it will not be possible to add a feature where a user inside one subscription can be allowed to access other subscriptions.
But: You can assign multiple, selected subscriptions to the same owner (user), so that when that user logs in, he sees all the subscriptions assigned to him and can access the subscription of his choice with a single user login. In order to assign a subscription to an existing user (subscriber), click on the "Subscription" menu, check the subscription(s) that you wish to link to another subscriber and click the button "Change Subscriber".
