Add nginx-only hostings
I'll like to create a hosting that only use Nginx as webserver. Also I'll like to do this with Node.js, but I think it will not be approved.
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, this request contains several different suggestions, and it's not technically possible to properly handle them inside one request. At the same time, it seems these two requests have already been implemented in Plesk.
1. "I'll like to create a hosting that only use Nginx as webserver."
Since Plesk Onyx, on a website level, it is possible to configure hosting to use only nginx. If for some reason, this is not suitable for you, we kindly ask you to vote for another request and provide any helpful additional information as a comment to let us know your specific scenarios. Nginx-only hostings (without Apache component installed on Plesk).
2. "Also I'll like to do this with Node.js, but I think it will not be approved."
If you deselect the “Proxy mode” checkbox under nginx settings, apache will not serve Node.js requests. Currently, we do not have plans to change this functionality in Plesk. Please create a new request and let us know how this feature should work in terms of workflow, in your opinion.

So far, this has only worked very incompletely.
When I switch from Apache to NGinxonly the home page of the domain appears, but none of the further links work. Further pages can no longer be called up either. -

It would be great if it was that easy to run only on nginx.
I also had problems with directives on nginx, the only way was to turn back. -

Hey Plesk Team, I also ran into the issue, that nginx isn't configurable enough.
This is a must have for my company and me:

So far this feature is not entirely usable unless the directives issue is adressed. https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/17222720-ability-to-customize-nginx-per-site-template-e-g because we can't use location / directive. Please take another look at it as it is really important. This feature is only partially implemented and very limited in scope

Here is general a big problem/issue with nginx in plesk and much worser with this setting as "host only". See https://talk.plesk.com/threads/its-impossible-to-use-location-with-file-types-in-additional-nginx-directives.343909/
Its impossible with plesk to make anything with static file types, because nginx.conf catch it first.

Now we need mod_security for nginx or the WAF is useless in a "nginx only" configuration.

This works fine with Plesk Onyx (tested & confirmed).
Case closed :-) -

Only Nginx without Apache. Optional PHP-FPM. Would be nice if headers-and-more module would be present in Nginx.

You can get Nginx only service plans. Why some people can't get this working?...
PS. Using Plesk 12.X+ only.

nginx support would be amazing! The performance boost with nginx is a no brainer

"nginx + php-fpm"-only would be awesome!

... off topic but because someone brought it up... The current Node.JS using jxcore is brutal. does not work very well at all.

Yeah +3 - Wordpress is a major player for webhosting. Then again Wordpress is horrible in resource usage. This can easily be verified when testing webpages and measuring server wait times.
For Wordpress nginx is far superior to the currently used Apache/nginx sandwich. I did a lot of testing the past few weeks and reached the limit for Apache/nginx. Good performance is possible but for exceedingly good performance, Apache is too much...

node.js support is ready:
