  2. Don't activate new services by default in existing service plans

    If you add something new to plesk (for example node.js or the mail autodiscover), this function is automatically added to existing service plans. This is not desirable.

    I want to choose if I want to add node.js to a particular service plan afterwards... Now I have to disable it in every service plan where I don't want it.

  3. Be able to control "Outgoing mail traffic" as a reseller without having to disable "Ability to change mail settings"

    The current Plesk business logic, is that the "Ability to change mail settings" permissio, when enable on the service plan, the Outgoing mail control values will be taken from the subscription/domain/mail account settings and will be managed by the customer - namely, that the service plan will not interfere.
    On the other hand, if that permission is disabled (see the image below) at Service Plan > example_plan > Permissions > expand "Sow more permissions" > "Ability to change mail settings", the desired values will be taken from the service plan

    Therefore, it should be possible to control "Outgoing mail traffic"…

  6. Possibility to chose and setup the installation directories on Plesk installation or migration

    It would be great to have the option to setup and fine-tune the Plesk configuration at a install directories level (Installation, vhost directories...), should be an option from the beginning (I.E.: On installation, migration, etc...).

    At the moment the possibility is present bunt by modifying the Plesk configuration files after the installation has been already done.

  7. Allow advertising to customer accounts

    Hello,

    I think that advertising could do with a bit of attention. When customers login, they do not see ads (which is a good thing), however it’d be a pretty good idea to show custom ads to customers (not just server admins). Say for example, I use Plesk Web Host edition and have multiple customers. I want to advertise addons on my store, such as disaster recovery solutions. When custom ads are added, it should be shown to all users who use Plesk, not just the administrator.

    Extension addons for Plesk however should remain hidden from customer accounts as they…

  8. to autofill the "Additional nginx directives" when "FPM application served by nginx" is selected for the domain with .htaccess file

    When creating a website with PHP as "FPM application served by nginx" and with the rewrite rules defined in the .htaccess file, the domain doesn't work correctly. The directives from the article below should be added manually each time: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213912945-After-switching-a-website-to-FPM-served-by-nginx-in-Plesk-it-fails-to-load-with-404-Not-Found-on-all-pages-except-start-page
    Please consider the opportunity to auto-fill the "Additional nginx directives" field with required lines for such domains

  9. Introduce new event parameters when a Wordpress instance is created

    Introduce new event parameters passed by Event Handlers that will differentiate full domain and full subdomain name when handling WordPress instance creation.

    For example: at the moment, ${NEWDOMAINNAME} variable will hold full name for subdomain when processing WordPress instance creation event and it would be helpful to have ${PARENTDOMAINNAME} variable for such case

  10. add functionality for pre-install checker to check supported components and prohibit installation on case unsupported components are found

    It would be great to not have an ability to install Plesk on a system that is using a component (database server, e.x.) that is not supported by the Plesk version.
    Please consider implementing the functionality of the pre-install checking of unsupported components. It can prevent issues with Plesk on the servers with unsupported software.
    Such an idea has already been provided once, however, it was too specific (for database servers only): https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/20166910-prohibit-installation-on-unsupported-databases.

  11. Add an ability to encode parameters sent in custom button URL

    Currently, parameters passed to the custom button URL are put there in plain text (even FTP user password).
    As the custom button URL is using GET request, the parameters can be easily replaced by anyone which is not secure and doesn't allow using custom buttons for logging customers into a third-party service (e.g. billing).
    Please consider implementing an option to securely encode URL parameters so only the receiving side can decode them.

  12. Add ForeignKey (arbitrary, custom) Fields to users, domains, subscriptions

    Please add Key fields to business objects in Plesk that Administrators and Resellers can edit. It's a must have feature to simple and safe find the correct objects!

    Customers - Customer Number
    Abonnements - Contract Number
    Abonnements Addons - Contract Number
    Resllers - Customer Number
    Domains - Contract Number

    ..... and so on.

    This is a very important feature for automation

  13. Edit WordPress notification text

    Text notifications are hard-coded in WP file /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/wp-toolkit/resources/locales/en-US.php:
    +++
    'common.error.wp-cli.timeout' => 'WordPress Toolkit was not able to finish running an operation on this site in %%timeout%% seconds, so the operation was terminated. This could mean that your WordPress installation might be infected with malware. Check the wp-config.php file of the installation for potential malware code or run an anti-virus scan. If you cannot find any traces of malware, try running the operation again later.',
    +++

    It is not possible to edit parameters "<suspicious_instance_text>" and "<suspicious_instance_details_info>" under Plesk > Tools & Settings > Notification > WordPress installation is quarantined

  14. Ability to show which IP addresses are used by other domains in the pulldown list at Web Hosting Access

    If the account has multiple domains, it is possible to set a dedicated IP belonging to that account among several domains, but in some cases you may want to allocate one IP to one domain. (E.g. when setting reverse DNS lookup)

    Currently, the pulldown list at domains>%domain name%>Web Hosting Access displays both free IP and the IP used in other domains by the same account, but it is not possible to understand whether it is used by other domains or not.
    Suggest to add the possibility to indicate which IP addresses are already used by other domains in the pulldown…

  17. Better email notifications management through CLI

    Improve the email notifications management through CLI using the "plesk bin notification" command.

    As of now, there are plenty of notifications that can be easily managed in Plesk GUI while it is not possible through that command making it quite hard to manage as the ones that can not be managed through the command itself, need to be modified directly on the Plesk database while in Plesk GUI all (or almost) the notifications are unified under Tools & Settings > Notifications

  18. Change (or add option to select) value that is used for the customer’s account root

    Currently, when a subscription is created and the customer adds new domains, the following physical structure is created on a server:

    C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new.domain

    where primary.domain is the primary domain of the subscription and new.domain is another domain, created by the customer.

    Sometimes, in this scenario, a number of new domains created by the customer might be quite big, so physical structure becomes something like this:

    C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new.domain

    C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new1.domain

    ...

    C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new199.domain

    C:\vhosts\primary.domain\new200.domain

    In these circumstances, when the primary domain's name is changed, for example:

    primary.domain changed to newprimary.domain so physical structure is changed to C:\vhosts\newprimary.domain*

    There is a lot of data that has…

  19. Obsidian Scheduled Tasks update has less functionlity due to cron style Version 18.0.25 Update #2

    Version 18.0.25 Update #2 Windows

    New Cron style schedule tasks. This was such a poorly thought out feature to implement and as such a bad one.

    It's great that Plesk want's to standardise the control panel between platforms but now in the case of Windows servers the experience is worse than before. Previously there were checkboxes that you could tick, so if you wanted a task to execute every 5 minutes then you could just ticket the appropriate boxes.

    Now in attempt to bring cron style to Windows without the / character this has become really laborious having to enter…

  20. Migrate/move scheduled task with Plesk windows to a different subscription

    I would like to suggest the feature move scheduled task created under a subscription level to another subscription.

    With Linux, it's possible to modify /var/spool/cron/crontabs but windows such changes it not possible.
