  1. Better migration of "PHP from OS vendor" parameters

    Please consider the following use case:
    - testdomain.tld on a CentOS target server is using "PHP from OS vendor" version 5.3;
    - The destination server is Ubuntu 14, with newer version of PHP from OS vendor, so you install PHP 5.3 with Plesk Installer;
    - The migrated testdomain.tld will have different PHP parameters that may cause disruption of the website.

    An example: PHP short open tag is enabled by default on PHP from CentOS repository, but is disabled on PHP 5.3 handler installed via Plesk Installer. If a PHP code uses short open tags, the script will stop working. Plesk…

    The problem may be in that destination server will not be able to use specified version of PHP for the migrated domain because of absence in official OS vendor’s repository. To prevent this kind of problems we see improvement of pre-migration checker which will notify you about possible post-migration issues. After that, the server administrator must solve the problem himself. The automatic resolving of these incompatibilities looks very dangerous.

  2. Add a Tag for the notification emails for the Public IP address of a server

    Add a Tag for the notification emails for the Public IP address of a server. If a server is using NAT when the <ip> Tag is used it shows the Private IP address in the Site Notification emails instead of the Public IP address.

  3. don't write in the backup repository during plesk updates

    I mounted a remote server via sshfs and set it as the plesk backup repository, so I can backup my domains through sftp (with a keyfile).

    But now, whenever I try to upgrade my plesk installation, plesk writes files to my backup repository (i.e. mysql backup before a mysql upgrade) and immediately tries to change the owner of the file, which fails because chown it is not supported on mounted directories.

    The best solution would be to provide the option to set a different path for automated backups.

  4. Set right ciphers by default on Windows

    There is a documentation how to do it manually: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/securing-plesk/pci-dss-compliance/tune-plesk-to-meet-pci-dss-on-windows.78901/

    but there is no tool to do it automatically (and by default during the installation).

    AFAIU, the request is about right ciphers for SSL configuration. We have a documentation how to do it manually: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/securing-plesk/pci-dss-compliance/tune-plesk-to-meet-pci-dss-on-windows.78901/ but have no tool to do it automatically, so, this is a valid request, we’ll look into it.

    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!

    Thank you for your idea! 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.

    The Sitejet team is working on a "copy and paste" website feature which allows users to copy a website and "import" it in another Sitejet account. It is also already possible to see a preview of the website in Sitejet Builder (screenshot -> Open preview website).

  6. Add a "Status" column in the Scheduled Tasks (Cron Jobs) list

    The status of a task is currently indicated by a grey or green icon in the "Schedule" column.
    It is typical for number of servers to have numerous tasks (let's say.... a bunch of them!)
    Adding the availability to sort tasks by their status will be a great help.

    Thank you for your idea. We understand that you would like to have the status icon in a separate column, making it possible to sort all jobs by their status "active" or "inactive". 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.

  7. Add a column to Domain List to show if SSL is installed

    On the domain list, it would be helpful and save a LOT of time by having an additional column to show if a domain has SSL installed on it. See Image

  8. Add Purge Cache button for wordpress instance

    Add a button under each wordpress instance for purging cache.
    Its a simple solution that should be implemented. Can remove a lot of headache for any support team dealing with customers.

    A simple solution that runs with wp cache flush (wp cli), just integrate a button in wp toolkit.

  9. Cloudflare DNS extension for Plesk: Add option to sync subdomain on separate subscription

    If I add a subdomain as a subscription (so that it is isolated from other (sub)domains) then I can't sync those subdomains with CloudFlare using Plesk's Cloudflare DNS.

    According to https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/ Cloudflare allows to do that only for the enterprise plan. At the moment, only very few users would benefit from a feature as most are on the Cloudflare free plan. 

    Nevertheless we will consider to implement the feature in a future update of the extension. 

    Please continue to vote for it if you believe that this is an important feature.

  11. Settings for Laravel Toolkit (Laravel root directory)

    Hi, we really appreciate the use of Laravel Toolkit but if unfortunately you make a mistake in making the first implementation in the wrong root directory you then have no way to change it.

    Please give us the opportunity to change some settings.

  13. Modify Wordpress integrity checker for security optimisations

    So if I create a new Wordpress installation and then I make certain minor security adjustments that are highly recommended in cybersecurity forums, then I will get errors that it is broken through Plesk. I will then forever more be warned that it is broken in Plesk (not in Wordpress) on account of absence of those files, which (as I say) is a deliberate choice I made).

    Ideally this would be modified in the install process (e.g. question: "Would you like to remove the readme and license files after installation?" (then explain why it is important to in a hover…

  14. exclude large files from backup

    Some customers store large videos for their website,
    some of them just zip an entire website for manual backup or download, and keep it in the server storage.
    some have wordpress backup plugins that will generate >500Mb files with weird extension.
    others just can't understand that a PNG file >50Mb is not good for your website.

    for the backup/restore functionality,
    I Suggest adding the ability to exclude large files.
    or even combine large files for specific extension (allow to backup any size of MPG, but exclude ZIP files >20Mb)

    currently, it is possible to exclude by extensions, but PNG and…

    Thank you for your idea! 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. 

    A workaround for some cases could be to place large files in separate directories and then to exclude these directories from the backup. Nevertheless we get the idea of this request to filter them from all directories by size.,

  15. Application pool status page

    It would be very handy to be able to look at the memory usage/footprint of the application pool and its associated IIS Worker Processes to help to monitor potential web application issues.

    It would also be nice to be able to see the last time the application pool was started/restarted

  18. Allow modification of how long the mail password reset link will take to expire.

    Currently the length of time to expire is 24hours. It would be desirable to be able to increase how long the link takes to expire.

  20. Set LVE to "unlimited" for users created temporarily on Migration to speed up Migration on CloudLinux

    The CloudLinux employs several techniques to limit performance, among others "LVE" limits. These are limits on resource usage such as CPU speed, RAM, I/O speed, number of processes, etc.. It is an established fact that the Plesk Migrator is capable of modifying CloudLinux components to allow the Migrator to do it's job, like disabling CageFS for the source user and target server. So, it stands to reason that the Plesk Migrator could also modify these LVE limits to improve performance of the data-transfers to the target server. The I/O limit of 1 MB/s is an LVE default limit for users…
