    Plesk already supports a wealth of backup options and disk space vendors with its "Backup to Cloud Pro" extension. 

    https://www.plesk.com/extensions/offer-complete-backup-solution/

    We will consider to add yet another one in upcoming releases - if it will be popular - but we also suggest to ask terabox whether they would like to develop their extension for Plesk using the free Plesk API.

    Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

  2. Add a snapshot of the current processes list to existing CPU / memory usage exceeded emails

    The Monitoring extension already triggers email notifications when resource usage exceeds the allocations, but if usage has already settled before you notice these emails and click through to the server, it's difficult to find which domain was the cause.

    Adding a snapshot of the current processes list to these emails when it's the CPU or memory usage thresholds that have been exceeded would be very useful. Potentially just the "Domains only" filtered list would suffice. Maybe trimmed to the top 50 or so processes ordered by CPU or memory, whichever is appropriate at the time.

  3. Monitoring, uptime and white label customer reports

    It would be nice to have:

    • Monitoring (alert if site offline or keyword does not exist)
    • Uptime (maintenance mode not included in downtime)
    • Reports (automatically generated WP-toolkit white label reports to send by email monthly to clients)

  6. make plugin pack installation able to handle dependent plugins

    This feature request originated here: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/plugin-package-cannot-be-installed-premium-plugin-requires-base-plugin.371482/

    The problem is that plugin X needs to be active so plugin Y can be activated. (In my case, it was the AIOS plugin with its premium version, which WP toolkit wasn't able to activate)

    It seems that WP Toolkit tries to activate all plugins at once when installing a plugin pack. An option to tell WP Toolkit to enable each plugin alone in the order they were added to the plugin pack instead of all together would be useful in this case. But there are probably more ways to optimize WP toolkit for…

  8. add sshd to services list for restart or enabling on demand

    Sometimes it's usefuil to be able to restart the sshd service, especially if the service is not reachable anymore. For increased security it could also be usefull to enable sshd only if needed other the panel.

  9. Add unique identifier to login event parameters

    Currently the user login/logout event only gives a contact name as event parameter. This is not a unique identifier since multiple users can have the same contact name. In the psa log_actions database table the username is saved. Please also add the username to the event parameters so there's a unique identifier which user logged in our out.

    Reference: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/server-administration/event-parameters-passed-by-event-handlers.67897/#plesk-user-logged-in

    Not sure about the category, so please replace if there's a better place for this suggestion.

  10. A option to search for mail accounts on Smartermail via Plesk

    A option to search for mail accounts on Smartermail via Plesk.

    Because if you create a email adress in Plesk it will automatically create it in SmarterMail, but if you for some reason creates it in SmarterMail directly it won't show up in Plesk, and you are not able to create the email in Plesk until you remove the email from SmarterMail and do it via Plesk

    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.

    Meanwhile, as a workaround, you can follow these steps:

    • Back up mail contents of SmarterMail mailboxes;
    • Remove all required mailboxes from SmarterMail;
    • Manually create these mailboxes in Plesk, under Domains > example.com > Email Accounts, so they are synced with SmarterMail;
    • Restore mail contents.

  11. panel.ini setting to select 127.0.0.1 or localhost for WPT WordPress installations

    When using CloudLinux's alt-php versions and when using Plesk's php version management facility instead of CloudLinux PHP Selector, the default path to mysql.sock is not set, or in some cases incorrectly set to /tmp/mysql.sock.

    Any php script, including WordPress, that is set to use "localhost" to connect to the database will then fail to connect. This can cause severe problems with the WordPress Toolkit.

    If, instead of localhost, the host address is set to 127.0.0.1, php uses a network connection instead of trying to connect to mysql.sock, and all is well. Naturally this assumes that mysql/mariadb listens on 127.0.0.1 but…

  12. I want an interface to set transport_maps for Postfix

    Please set the default transportmaps in main.cf to "hash:/etc/postfix/admin/transport" so that the server administrator can set transportmaps.

    [current situation]
    transportmaps = , hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/transport
    [Functional improvement]
    transport
    maps = , hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/transport,hash:/etc/postfix/admin/transport

  14. Add support for djbdns / tinydns

    Add support for djbdns / tinydns - export each domain's DNS records into a plain text file that gets then copied to separate (stand-alone) DNS server(s) running djbdns / tinydns. The DNS services do not and should not run on Plesk servers themselves, but rather on separate stand-alone servers. Export each domain's DNS zone into domain.com.txt filename.

    The text file synchronization can be done either automatically by Plesk, or a simple cron job to automate replication to 2+ djbdns servers, where the files are added, or if a domain.com.txt exists, overwrite it and comile/publish djbdns data.

    (we've been using djbdns…

  15. Define maximum number of saved backups in Service Plan

    As an administrator you currently can define the maximum number of full backups to store. This maximum number applies to all backups, stored locally or remote.

    This is a feature request for:a) defining a separate maximum for locally stored backups and a separate maximum for remotely stored backups. b) as well defining those maximum numbers in service plans.

    The option to define the maximum number of stored backups in a service plan would allow administrators to fulfill backup needs on a per customer basis. And even sell additional backups to customers who might have a need for much longer backup retention.

    Defining a separate maximum value for local and…

  16. Additional Account Authentication via Email

    This is a request for the implementation of an optional extra layer of authentication via email for customers and resellers who want to login to a Plesk server. Which would improve security by making it much less effective/useful for customers to share their login details with others.

    Although similar in concept to 2FA, this is different than the already available 2FA extension as "email account authentication" poses way less of a barrier to non tech savvy users as no additional apps or devices are needed for authentication. Just email. 

    Ideally it would work something like this: a server administrator could enable "email account authentication" so…

  17. Customize Plesk Premium Email Logo and Footer

    Currently, the means are available to edit it. But not an administrator interface, fast and simple, in order to be able to sell the service as a reseller or simply as an end user. Since it is a paid service. They should add more plugins like this.

  19. wordpress toolkit table prefix mixed case fix/patch

    I'm not sure if it's still the case but the toolkit used to (possibly still does) create table prefixes with mixed case characters (or this is done via the security checkup for existing tables).

    Unix is case sensitive, windows is not.

    MariaDB

    lowercasetablename=0 default for Unix = stored as provided and case-sensitive. $tableprefix = '7a6pcDc' will be stored as 7a6pcDctablename in the DB
    lowercasetablename=1 default on Windows = uppercase changed to lowercase but still case-insensitive $tableprefix = '7a6pcDc' will be stored as 7a6pcdctablename in the DB.

    This is…

  20. Plesk Admin Login - Enable IP Address Locking. In other words, like a firewall, specify the IP address source

    Plesk Admin Login - Enable IP Address Locking. In other words, like a firewall, specify the IP address source.

    This simply eliminates concerns about password hacking as a Dedicated IP (source location) can be specified just like Remote Desktop.
