Plesk-wide maintenance mode
At times it takes quite significant time to perform plesk in-place upgrade. During this time all sites are down and plesk control panel is down as well.
It would be good to have plesk-wide maintenance mode for such occasions that would display a nice maintenance or upgrade notice page that would be displayed to whoever accesses the sites hosted in plesk or plesk control panel itself.

Implement an Auto-Update function for Skins
Since the release of Obsidian, every new microupdate changed significant CSS classes in the Skins, which required our custom skin to be edited each time. However there is no way to deploy the new versions automatically.
My suggestion: Implement a way for Skins to be auto-updated.
The meta.xml-File in the skin could contain a new field like "official_url", which is then regularily checked for a newer version, than the one currently installed.9 votesThank you for your input!

Monitoring Mailbox activity
Feature in Plesk GUI to monitor Mailboxes activity:
- Know which mailboxes didn't have activity in a specific period of time. For example, this would be useful to clean up mailboxes without activity.
- Know which mailboxes activity with forwarding enabled in a specific period of time.
- Possibility to cleanup selected mailboxes from same GUI.9 votes -

Autosave a shadow copy (local storage perhaps) of an ongoing edited file to prevent data loss in case of session timeout
My suggestion lies on the fact that I indeed lost my work on a php file that was open in the code editor, when I absent-mindedly pushed the "Apply" button on the text editor and realized with horror that my admin session timed out and I was returned to the unmodified version of the file once logged back in.
It would be convenient to autosave in the background ongoing changes of a text file that is bound to change once opened in the editor, in order to prevent data loss.

Have some setting to limit days and timeframe of any updates
To have some settings to limit any kind of updates to be installed in the server like:
Day of the week, hour timeframe.
There's such settings in panel.ini but only for Plesk updates. I'm missing the same for System Updates and Hotfixes.7 votesCurrently, only major updates can be scheduled as described in https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377016862103-How-to-manage-date-and-time-for-Plesk-autoupdates- and the forum thread https://talk.plesk.com/threads/update-times.355417/. System package updates and minor updates are not affected.
This feature asks to also provide a setting where sytsem package updates and minor Plesk updates can be scheduled. This is a valid request. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

Limit Service Plans management to Additional Administrators (Restricted Mode) and Resellers
We are trying to create an Additional Administrator with Restricted Mode or Resellers but it's not possible to restrict those users to manage the Service Plans.
It would be great to add the possibility to hide the Service Plans option in the menu by restricting their permissions.

Customize columns in site list
Would be great to allow selecting what columns to display in the Domains or Site list.
Column suggestions:
- Site name (user customizable)
- Domain name
- Type
- Status
- PHP version
- Server (apache/nginx)
- Location (if multiple site locations are allowed)
- Traffic
- Size (including files + database, why is it always calculating incorrectly for subdomains?)
- URL
- wp-admin url if wordpress
- Wordpress toolkit link - directly to this site
- Date created
- SSL status

Add enabling "Keep websites secured" with all options via CLI
Suggest adding the CLI commands for enabling "Keep websites secured" and all four options:
"Include the "www" subdomain"
"Secure domain aliases"
"Secure webmail"
"Secure mail"
in SSL/TLS certificates.
It would enhance the advanced administration of SSL certificates, especially beneficial on servers with large amount of domains.6 votesThank you for your input!

Please bring back the colored icons or add an option to switch between the old and new style.

Possibility to manage time syncronization in Plesk on Debian 10 / Ubuntu 20 / CentOS 8
Plesk supports Debian 10, Ubuntu 20 and CentOS 8, but currently it's not possible to manage network time settings in Tools & Setting > System Date and Time > Network Time on these operating systems.
Despite of having native systemd-timesyncd.service (that manages time syncing out of the box), it would be easier to manage NTP time settings using Plesk interface.

Hide "Location of the website's files" field when there is just one subscription.
In most cases, our customers have only one subscription, on which mostly several domains run.
If another domain is added via the "Add Domain" dialog, the dropdown field "Location of the website's files" appears in the form.
This makes absolute sense if a customer has several subscriptions. However, if the customer only has one subscription, this is very confusing.
We are often asked by our customers, if the existing data of the other domain (main domain as subscription) is overwritten, because it is not obvious to the customer that he has only one subscription and the value in the field…
