Add ability to manage TLS version per domain basis
For now it is possible to manage specific TLS version and cipher suite only on server level, meaning that particular TLS versopm will be applicable for all domains at once. It would be nice if Plesk introduces the ability to manage TLS version per domain basis, which would add more flexibility for Plesk administrators.

Setting alternate directory path location of the vhost per Domain or service packet
At the moment it is not possible to change or choose the vhost path for a domain. Every Domain is installed in the standard vhost path, at example /var/www/vhosts
If someone has a Server with attached fast and slow storage or big and small storage, it should be possible for the administrator to choose between them when installing a new Domain. It could be possible to give a customer service packages with faster storage for mission critical domains or giving him a lot of space for another domain located on disk drives mounted to another location.56 votesAt the moment you can change default vhosts location in Plesk using the command-line utility transvhosts.pl
Just check available options withplesk bin transvhosts.pl —help
Changing vhosts directory location for part of domains is impossible now.
Anyway thank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases, if it will be popular.

Allow domain forwarding for every domain in a subscription, including the subscription domain
Currently it is not possible to make domain-forwarding for every Domain in an Abonnement. You have to select website-Hosting for the first domain to enable Forwarding for other Domains.
37 votesMany providers set a placeholder domain as the main subscription domain so that all domains actually "in use" in a subscription can be freely configured. Please consider this option as it will immediately solve the issue for you.
Besides that, this is a valid request. Everyone, please keep voting for it if you believe it is important.

Make possible to manage limit_req_zone for nginx
modbw cannot be used for limiting connection when nginx enabled. Plesk does not provide out of box enabling and configuring limitation of connections for nginx. Please add support for limitreqzone which provide similar functionality as modbw for nginx so that it would possible to control such resources.
35 votesWe will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.
However, please be aware that rate-limiting web traffic can and should normally be done using iptables as it is much more effective and resource savvy doing it on the operating system/kernel level. If there are issues with web traffic, it is best to not to let it get to the web server in the first place.

Add possibility configure solutions from different CDN providers directly via Plesk
At the moment Plesk does not support any CDN solutions.
However, CDN is a useful feature that minimizes delays in loading web page content by reducing the physical distance between the server and the user.
Please add the possibility to configure solutions from different CDN providers directly via Plesk for example such as DigitalOcean CDN or Cloudflare CDN.22 votesThe new DNS Integration for Cloudflare extension is production-ready since Plesk 18.0.56, published October 10th, 2023. If you are using Cloudflare, you can now also benefit from the Cloudflare CDN.
Please comment which other CDN providers you are using in case this does not yet cater to your needs.

More out of the Box configuration for Microcaching (Nginx)
As far as now in Plesk 17.8.9 Beta there are just limited options to configurate Nginx Mircocache.
There is no option to Cache every time.
Even if you de-select all of the "Bypass cache when" Rules your file looks like that./var/www/vhosts/system/domain.tld/conf/nginx.conf

proxynocache $nocache;
proxycachebypass $nocache;

Also these values are not configurable:For Microcache

Nginx restart interval functionality
An Nginx restart interval should be helpful for situations when users use API calls to modify domain's PHP settings. This results in multiple nginx reloads:
/var/log/plesk/rc_actions:
INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:26:00 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:26:44 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:26:59 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:28:06 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:29:11 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reloadA similar functionality exists for apache in Tools & Settings > Apache web server > Restart interval.

Statistic usage per each page on website
I can see the bandwidth of each domain on my webserver. But now i came with the idea (I dont know if it was requested before, or if it is a feature of the web host edition only) that you can see the bandwidth each page uses, so you can see it for the whole domain, but also every page you have in your plesk folder, so you have a more detailed overview what people like to look at on your page.Maybe a calculator how many mb one user uses (there are tools on the web for this, but something…

API: let customer be able to manage his own site-aliases
Currently only the Administrators can manage site-aliases with the API.
Why is it not possible for customers to manage site-aliases of their own sites, while they can manage their sites and subscriptions ?
Now I have to use administrator access in the API on a single website, which is a security issue. This website can now manage everything. I would prefer to use the credentials of the customer to manage it.9 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Supply versions of Apache newer than provided by OS vendors
Currently, Plesk supports Apache from the Linux vendor and does not provide its own Apache build. For example, CentOS 6 has Apache 2.2 by default.
Based on the article comment it would be good to have more recent Apache version in use: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213901685?page=1#comment_360001830960
Apache 2.4.6 was released in 2013 (!) in the meantime the latest version is Apache 2.4.46 (august 2020).
I understand Plesk cannot update Apache every time to a newer version, however still running 2.4.6 is a bit absurd.Furthermore there are quite a few CVE fixes in the newer versions along with several new performance tweaks /…

Exclude internal requests from the Traffic statistics
Plesk seems to add up the request response size,
including those of its own extenal IP address.
We would like to disable this behaviour or filter out this info, because
this is not the actual traffic.We have customers that have a lot of internal requests because of some
caching module where about 50% of the total traffic is from its own IP.7 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases, if it will be popular.

Mod_pagespeed 'cache' clear button in speed settings panel
When tuning system for modpagespeed, http/2, PHP7 w/opcache, https, ran into issue with Apache, where turning modpagespeed off, then back on, or off then restarting doesn't clear cache. On a development site, I had to do a htaccess to fully disable in order to apply CSS changes which were 'stuck' -- a 'clear cache' option from panel would be super cool, vs command line ! :-)
