Ability to migrate just configuration, no content
Sometimes we have to transfer domains with very large data. By the time the migration has finished (a few hours later) a lot of the data is out of sync. So we have to manually rsync the data across again.
Therefore, we would request the option to just migrate domain configuration and no data. So just set up the domain, all mailboxes subdomains etc.. but leave all content behind. Basically just a skeleton of the domain.

Plesk migrator shall notify secondary DNS about the new primary DNS
After a migration from Plesk to Plesk, configured DNS slaves with the extension ***** DNS Manager are not notified about the new master of the zone for migrated domains.
It could be done while clicking on 'Switch DNS' in advanced mode with the commands rndc delzone example.com and rndc addzone example.com {etc...}.14 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Add docker containers to plesk migrator
I'm in a position where I'm offering my customers elastic server and redis server usage access via docker. This helps isolate them, secure their data and also guarantee resources.
However it's getting really tedious to migrate the subscriptions because of this. I would love it if there was a way to migrate docker containers between plesk installations
Additionally it would be awesome if there was a way to create a link between docker container and subscription. That way when I migrate a subscription, only the relevant docker containers would get migrated

Express transfer: migration manager option to change IP address
cPanel has a feature much appreciated: transfer in "Express Transfer".
This feature allows you to migrate one or more domains from a source server to a server with changing IP ADDRESS from old to new server.I think it's time to apply it in Plesk.

Add Auto Install SiteJet Website Option to Plesk Service Plans
Requesting a feature to add an option on the Plesk Service Plan "Additional Services" page to automatically install a SiteJet site. This would be similar to the same options that currently exists for WordPress from the WordPress Toolkit dropdown on that same page.

website importing with different ip for ftp and www
The current website import function only allows entry of the source domain name.
I need to specify the ftp server details separately as for some hosts the ftp server is on a different ip to the website and the current import function fails as it fails to access either the website or ftp server depending on which info was entered as the source domain.6 votesThank you for your input!

Allow multi-thread options in Plesk Migrator to speed up huge migrations
The Plesk Migrator tool is very limited when migrating a big amount of subscriptions, databases and mails.
Checking the CPU usage when performing a migration, Plesk Migrator utilities are not reaching 20% of the CPU because this tool is not supporting multi-threading.
Therefore, due to this limitation, a huge migration can take a few days or even more than a week to be completed.
If Plesk Migrator would use the full capabilities of the hardware available in our servers, the migration can be faster and match our migration deadlines.
It would be great that a few options in panel.ini or…

Better migration of "PHP from OS vendor" parameters
Please consider the following use case:
- testdomain.tld on a CentOS target server is using "PHP from OS vendor" version 5.3;
- The destination server is Ubuntu 14, with newer version of PHP from OS vendor, so you install PHP 5.3 with Plesk Installer;
- The migrated testdomain.tld will have different PHP parameters that may cause disruption of the website.An example: PHP short open tag is enabled by default on PHP from CentOS repository, but is disabled on PHP 5.3 handler installed via Plesk Installer. If a PHP code uses short open tags, the script will stop working. Plesk…
4 votesThe problem may be in that destination server will not be able to use specified version of PHP for the migrated domain because of absence in official OS vendor’s repository. To prevent this kind of problems we see improvement of pre-migration checker which will notify you about possible post-migration issues. After that, the server administrator must solve the problem himself. The automatic resolving of these incompatibilities looks very dangerous.

Set LVE to "unlimited" for users created temporarily on Migration to speed up Migration on CloudLinux
The CloudLinux employs several techniques to limit performance, among others "LVE" limits. These are limits on resource usage such as CPU speed, RAM, I/O speed, number of processes, etc.. It is an established fact that the Plesk Migrator is capable of modifying CloudLinux components to allow the Migrator to do it's job, like disabling CageFS for the source user and target server. So, it stands to reason that the Plesk Migrator could also modify these LVE limits to improve performance of the data-transfers to the target server. The I/O limit of 1 MB/s is an LVE default limit for users…
