Add support for ASP.NET Core 2 for Plesk Onyx
Let's support this please. Add support for ASP.NET Core 2 for Plesk Onyx
17 votesHi,
I’m glad to inform you that this functionality was added since Plesk Onyx 17.8 release :) Plesk detects if ASP.NET Core 2 is installed or you can install it as a component via Plesk Installer (Tools&Settings → Updates & Upgrades → Add/Remove Components). Then deploy your ASP.NET Core application to the website document root.

Add option for minimum 12 characters in passwords
Add option for minimum 8 characters in Plesk > Home > Tools & Settings > Security Policy > Password.
You can label it as "Stronger".
Going from 8 to 16 characters leaves a big step.
We train our customers to user minimum 12 characters in their passwords (including lower/upper case, numbers and symbols).

Configurable Admin Permissions
Since we are now able to create more than 1 Administrator within Plesk - it would be a good addition if one would be able to give those Admins particular Rights within Plesk.
I don't want my "Everyday-Admin" to be able to stop Services within Plesk or even Shut-Down the whole Server within the Panel ...I want them to do their work with Customers/Domains/Hostings ... but access to the "real Admin Areas" should be restricted ...

zend opcache - fastcgi or apache write settings per domain
fastcgi is supposed to work with the new opcache in newer php versions and we are forced to use it on the apache module. Fastcgi will always flush cache after 30 seconds. Nginx will work but requires a considerable amount of work.
Apache works but causes file permissions issues with files written by apache to be owned by apache.
Id like to see support for opcache with fastcgi, or be able to set write permissons for apache module as per domain.
Due to the issues php opcache or apc is very tricky to use in a plesk server environment.
16 votesThese problems solved for Apache 2.4 + PHP-FPM. Next Plesk release 12.5 fully supports PHP-FPM. This functionality is now available in Plesk 12.5 preview. Please visit the following forum threads to learn how to access Plesk 12.5 preview:

PHP Extensions Installer
I would love to see PHP Extensions Installer like other panels cPanel and DirectAdmin have it. Can we see a feature where we install needed PHP Extensions from Plesk rather than SSH into server and install?
15 votesGreat news! This feature became available in Plesk 18.0.49!
Plesk added the ability to install extensions for PHP 7.3 and later handlers using PECL. You can manage PHP extensions in Tools & Settings > PHP Settings > choose the desired handler > Manage PECL Packages.

Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity) for NGINX and Apache
Hi,
Please consider implementing Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity) for NGINX and Apache in the next Plesk update.
At the moment any Plesk user if he wants to use Mod Security (official version supported by Plesk) is forced to use it as a web server:
- Apache
or
- Apache + NGINX
Any Plesk user who wants to use only NGINX as a web server and without using Apache at the moment cannot use Mod Security because Plesk does not currently support it for NGINX exclusively web servers.
Here are some of the advantages of Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity and these…

Be able to enable all security options from WordPress Toolkit on all instances via CLI
Be able to enable all security options recommended by the WordPress Toolkit on all instances via CLI so that it would save customers' time as they would not need to login to the Panel and select all of them manually on all instances.

better backup priority settings to include nice and ionice
Currently it seems the backup priority only takes CPU into account and not I/O
I would prefer the backup low priority settings to be changed into specific values. For example
CPU PRIORITY -> Select Box with options 1-19
IO Class -> Select Box with options 1-3
IO Priority-> Select Box with options 1-71 means realtime and the higher the number the less important is the task.
Then this can be converted into custom commands depending on the user needs like:
nice -n{CPU PRIORITY} ionice -c{I/O CLASS} -n{I/O Priority} <backup task command>
For example one could set like this

distupgrade for Debian and Ubuntu (i.e. Debian Squeeze to Debian Wheezy)
This used to work with previous Debian versions (e.g. Etch -> Lenny, Lenny -> Squeeze) but it doesn´t seem to be possible with Squeeze -> Wheezy.
The proposed way of "updating" is to make a backup and restore it on a new server. As we have 50+ servers this simply isn´t feasible: We cannnot get a new server and transfer multiple customer domains (some using external DNS) for each of those servers. This would cause long downtimes and problems with data being transferred that is changed on the old server (from website users).
It has been possible before so it…
