  1. OWASP security recommendation hide php version from web server by default

    I've noticed that in a default plesk installation the web server is configured to disclose php version. This could be exploited especially with a lot of websites running insecure php versions still.

    I think it's not much trouble to implement this simple "security through obscurity" step to not disclose this information and help attackers detect vulnerabilities in PHP itself.

  2. docker or lxc

    It wanna be nice to have docker or lxc in Plesk integrated, in that way like "cockpit" have it. That you can easily create container, set start parameter login over a console. All this over a web interface.

    Sadly at the moment virtuozzo even don't support docker - but maybe it will in the future :). And the are the doors open for docker in Plesk.

  4. Add Microsoft SQL Server PHP extensions to Plesk Linux

    They can be disabled by default (and optionally be enabled in PHP Settings, 7.0-7.1 only). The drivers appear to be quite stable - I have successfully installed them in Plesk on Ubuntu 16.04 and CentOS 7.4.

    This is especially interesting since SQL Server 2017 is available for Linux and Docker.

    Once the extensions are installed/enabled, the follow-up request would be to allow me to add remote MS SQL databases in Plesk Linux (not limited to RDS - any remote MS SQL instance).

  5. fail2ban and Cloudflare ServerShield Blocking

    The default behavior of fail2ban adding an offending ip address to iptables doesn’t do much if the website is protected by Cloudflare ServerShield which proxies the requests to Plesk server.
    Please consider adding the capability whereby if fail2ban is activated on a Plesk server and a hosted website is protected by Plesk Cloudflare ServerShield extension, an offending IP address should also be added via a cloudflare api call to cloudflare firewall rules for the affected website. This way the Plesk server is protected at a minimum for that website which might be under a DoS attack.

  7. Implement Alert System for nginx Service Failures in Plesk

    Introduce a feature in Plesk to automatically detect and notify administrators through Plesk panel (if accessible) and email alerts when the nginx service fails to start or encounters any issues to ensure immediate awareness and prompt resolution.

  8. Cloudflare DNS extension for Plesk: Add option to sync subdomain on separate subscription

    If I add a subdomain as a subscription (so that it is isolated from other (sub)domains) then I can't sync those subdomains with CloudFlare using Plesk's Cloudflare DNS.

    According to https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/ Cloudflare allows to do that only for the enterprise plan. At the moment, only very few users would benefit from a feature as most are on the Cloudflare free plan. 

    Nevertheless we will consider to implement the feature in a future update of the extension. 

    Please continue to vote for it if you believe that this is an important feature.

  10. Enable multiple strings in a single TXT (SPF) record

    At the moment when adding TXT (SPF) DNS record in Plesk it is impossible to enter it as concatenated quoted strings

    "v=spf1 include:AAA.com" "include:BBB.jp" "include:CCC.jp ~all"

    (all quotes will be automatically escaped)

    "\"v=spf1 include:AAA.com\" \"include:BBB.jp\" \"include:CCC.jp ~all\""

    This RFC
    https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4408.txt
    3.1.3. Multiple Strings in a Single DNS record

    states that such concatenated quoted string format should be possible.

    Please, implement this feature

  12. block bad bots by default

    There are many bots that can actually DoS a server using Plesk. Since there's no way to limit their connections they can overload a server really easily. Currently the only way to block them is by reading the logs and implementing blocks in nginx or .htaccess rules.

    It would be great if there could be some security by default. The community has created very comprehensive lists that could be used and auto updated / maintained by cron jobs.

    Here's an example for Apache

    https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker/tree/master/Apache_2.4

    And here's for Nginx

    https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker

    It could help mitigate attacks and vulnerability scans as…

  18. Add multiple Git users with SSH Key authentication

    We are waiting for this feature in Plesk: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/18772873

    We've to apply manually the commands described in here, which is not the desired user experience: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006103313

    Said that, I'm creating this request because it would be a great step if Plesk would also allow Git users with SSH Key authentication. There isn't any workaround available, which is quite frustrating that after 2 years Plesk didn't implement it.

  19. Add backup restore (sw-tar) multithreading

    Plesk uses its internal sw-tar program for unpacking backups, which currently lacks multithreading support. This results in a significantly slower recovery process when handling a large number of files or large data volumes.

    Given the continuously growing data volumes and increasing file sizes, it is time to implement this feature.

  20. More advanced anti-ddos interface and settings

    This (https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000784914-What-DDoS-protection-tools-are-available-in-Plesk) recently updated article shows that we still need paid extensions to better protect our servers against ddos attacks.

    It would be great if Plesk would create a more advanced anti-ddos monitoring tool with a useful interface, alerts, and the right amount of settings to better protect our servers from ddos attacks without the need to install a third party extension with additional costs. Preferably created with "good defaults" in mind.
