Ability to decrypt Plesk customer passwords
Plesk 12 encrypts passwords in the database. You currently have a program "mailauthview" which decrypts the mail passwords, so please create similar programs for ftp, database and customer logins.
We have our own customer control panel which uses database connections to display their passwords. This no longer works because passwords are encrypted. If customer forgets passwords, we have no choice but to login and change them all again. This is very time consuming and a waste of time, if we could simply decrypt the passwords.
27 votesHello,
this feature request is declined due to security reasons. Software should go forward with security, not backward. -
Virtuozzo Linux 8 support
Since Centos is unfortunately no longer available in its original form, it would be good if appropriate alternatives were available as a host OS.
Here Virtuozzo Linux 8 is ideal because they have many years of experience in this environment and we know that the quality is right ...
The risk that VZLinux disappears from the screen is also lower than with the various newer RHEL clones which apeared lately.
Apart from that, VZLinux also offers migration paths from Centos 7 + 8 to VZLinux 8, which makes life much easier for many administrators ...25 votesAfter a detailed analysis, we decided not to invest in support/test/fix/announce VzLinux8 compatibility. This decision was made based on extremally low usage for VzLinux7 for Plesk. Unfortunately, our plans are as follows.
Virtuozzo team might have their own plan to test/announce the scenario with Plesk product, it’s up to them.

Phalcon PHP framework
Automatic support phalcon framework
http://phalconphp.com/en/17 votesThis request is 7 years old and has only received a few votes. The current market share of the Phalcon PHP framework is <0.01 %. Unfortunately we can only implement support for frameworks who have some popularity among users. For that reason we need to decline this request.

Multi-Server Plesk for Windows
I See Plesk multi-server is now available for Linux
it too would be good if this was also extended to windows.
The setup should work similar to Helm / MSPControl Panel where we can have
1 CP Server maybe shared with other services such as DNS1
multiple web servers that can just be IIS services only
Multiple database servers
Multiple Mail Servers15 votesThe development of the Multi-Server extension has been discontinued in 2020. Instead Plesk offers a much better solution with "Plesk 360" https://platform360.io
For that reason we must decline this request.

Add official support for PHP APCu - revisited.
In an "idea" posted in 2018 - and declined -, you said "As far as I know APC/APCu is outdated..."
That is incorrect. APC is outdated because PHP now uses it internally. APCu, however, is the new version of APC for external use, and it's very much up to date.
For certain applications, APCu is significantly faster than memcached or redis.
I have a shared server and can't use APCu because Plesk (still) doesn't officially support it.13 votesThis request has not received many votes. We must decline it.
However, you will find a guide how to use APCu with Plesk, even though it is not officially supported, here: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003211209
APCu is a PECL extension. These can be installed using the PECL installer built into Plesk. Tools & Settings > General Settings > PHP Settings > Click on PHP version > button "Manage PECL Packages"

Continue ColdFusion support
You have discontinues ColdFusion support as from Plesk version 12.5
http://kb.odin.com/en/124483But I'm 100% sure that it would be great to go back to its support because CF is not abandoned technology and still popular.
12 votesAt the beginning of 2023 ColdFusion's market share is <0.8% among frameworks. The low market share and the very low number of votes on this feature request is an indication that this may not be the future of web design and software development. Instead, Plesk focuses on supporting widely used frameworks and rising technologies. For that reason we must decline this request.

Add in Plesk the possibility to work with a separate server for Email, like it´s possible for Mysql.
Today, the webserver must be together with Mailserver, for separated mail server I need to use Plesk Automation, but this increase the complexity and force me to use Centos 5.
I´d like to create 3 separeted plesk servers, one exclusively for email, another to Web and another for MYSQL.

Please disable the automatic Alias 301 redirect.. 1st it is the worst idea to do this server level. You should do this on the content level
Please disable the automatic Alias 301 redirect.. 1st it is the worst idea to do this server level. You should do this on the content level. Not server level!!!

Add support for IPv6 to ka.plesk.com, hense Plesk licenses can be activate using IPv6
So far ka.plesk.com does not have IPv6, therefore servers with Plesk that have only IPv6 addresses cannot activate their license.
9 votesWe have no plans for adding IPv6 to KA. So, please use translation to IPv4 addresses for such Plesk servers.

Improve firewall module to allow editing outside of Plesk
The Plesk firewall module overwrites any custom rules saved outside of the firewall itself (for IP tables rules added via command line). It would make it a lot easier if the firewall module worked with the native tool and read the existing firewall rules instead of overwriting any rules not created by the module itself.
9 votesThanks for your input. We finally declined this request, because working with custom rules, chains, and configurations of iptables make firewall management difficult and require a lot of experience from the end-user. This makes the user interface complicated.

Mail Server should have optional setting to block exe, com, vbs files with our without attachment.
Presently can't find settings in Dr.Web Antivirus to block common virus attachments such as exe, com, vbs etc. Suggest there should be an option in Mail Server settings to block emails with unwanted executables files with or without zip files.
Yesterday received an email with virus with exe attachment passing through Dr.Web. After two hours I tested the same attachment and the attachment was succesfully blocked by Dr. Web. Obviously Dr. Web virus definition were not updated with this virus earlier.

Unfortunately, we have to close request because over the years it has not become popular enough to include it in implementation plan.

Enable Prometheus integration with Plesk
Please enable Plesk integration with the Prometheus toolkit - using this tool would allow monitoring multiple Plesk servers from a single platform.
8 votesCurrently there are no plans to integrate Prometheus, because Plesk already has a monitoring tool for you to monitor all your Plesk servers in one platform. Please sign in to https://platform360.io

Add a FTP user permissions management panel
I regularly need to set FTP users in order to share files, to allow customers to upload or download files on our server.
But, if I can create different users for each customer, I cannot choose the permissions : read, write, upload limit etc.
It would be really useful to have these options in the FTP panel to manage users rights.
