  1. Update or Status notifications from the WP-Toolkit by E-Mail

    In the Plesk WordPress Toolkit there is so far no possibility to switch on a notification if something changes in the status of a page. e.g. SSL / security settings or the latter and most interesting updates! For WordPress there are several plugins that take over the update notification function, but they don't always work. But since the WordPress toolkit has the function, it would be great if you could turn on an e-mail notification!

  2. Clone domain files and database

    Hello,
    Tipically having a CMS running (ie Prestashop) requires also setting up an exact copy for testing new features/uogrades/updates.
    We have to manually:
    1) Export/import database dump into a new one,
    2) copy files and dirs into a new (sub)domain
    3) change some settings (config files) to link new (sub)domain to the newly imported database

    Couldn't at least points 1) and 2) be automatized with a 1-click option after inserting some data (ie new database name, user, pw)?
    Cheers

  3. SRV record for submission (587)

    When Enable mail autodiscover AND Enable SMTP service on port 587 on all IP addresses are enabled within the Server-Wide Mail Settings, it'd be nice if Plesk would also create an according SRV record.
    _submission._tcp IN SRV 0 1 587 mail.domain.tld.
    Currently, Plesk only creates smtps with 465.
    See https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6186#section-3.1

  4. Support incremental backup for mail content

    Nowadays, many users are using IMAP, maybe because is the default setting in many popular email clients (Mozilla Thunderbird, and I remember Mail on Windows 8.1 didn't support POP3 at all).

    Mail content usually grow but previously stored messages doesn't change often. In Maildir format, used by Plesk, qmail and Postfix, when an user got new mails, new files with unique name are added on disk, and only some files are changed (basically, only courier-imap and dovecot caches and indexes, perhaps easy to rebuild from scratch).

    So, please, support incremental backup for mail content too

    We’ll send you updates on this idea

    This feature was implemented a very long time ago, but we missed updating the feature request entry accordingly. Please excuse the delay. The reason that it was missed was probably that back then a huge number of users were still using the mbox mail storage format. There it was not possible to get a delta of mails.


    In Plesk Obsidian an incremental backup includes mail data changed since the time of the last backup (full and incremental).

  5. Email security: different server-wide settings for mailboxes and forwarders

    We would like to change, server-wide, our forwarders to DROP spam and our mailboxes to MOVE spam to the spam folder.

  6. Migration from Enkompass (CPanel for Windows)

    We would really like to move 6 of our Enkompass Servers (CPanel for Windows) to Plesk as CPanel dropped development for enkompass some years ago and we would like an nice migration from Enkompass.

    I could mirror our production environment to a test bed to help with development if need be.

  7. Ability to use admin credentials for Migration Manager

    Using root password is not secure. Using SSH key is not comfortable.

    Destination Plesk should connect to the Source Plesk with admin credentials and send a temporary SSH key to the Source server. This key can be than deleted after migration. Or for more security admin of Source server can generate a one time password only for migration.

  8. Search-Replace database for serialized data

    Add database option to search-replace serialized data like in "Replace-Search-DB-4.1.1" that can be found here " https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB "

    This is useful when you migrate a database from another server or if you simply want to change something in the database.

  10. Expand WHMCS integration/module

    The WHMCS module is very basic and lacks a lot of features. Some features to integrate and consider are to integrate WHMCS social/2auth integration with Plesk social login/2auth. Another integration is to allow the client to control their installation from the WHMCS panel and add configurable options such as plugins. Also, the client shouldn't be required to set a domain when purchasing a service, it should only ask for hostname since some will have multiple domains on their Plesk.

  12. Please automate DNS for Certification Authority Authorization (CAA)

    After adding a certificate for a domain, plesk could add automatically the right DNS settings for CAA.

    Example: Adding a certificate from Let's Encrypt, Plesk could add an CAA Record with the right tags.

    Until now i added the records for Let's Encrypt in the DNS template, which is okay. The records needs to be changed manually, if a different certificate was installed.

  14. to crete a GUI for the spamfilter.

    Within the GUI it should be possible to manage the most common tasks of SpamAssassin like the following:

    • sa-update set up a cronjob for downloading new rules and scores automatically
    • sa -learn spamfilter training for side/server wide configuration -managing of black and whitelists -adding custom rules and scores

    A GUI for the spamfilter in conjunction with the planned GUI for the Greylisting will help administrators to reduce the load of incoming spam in a more comfortable way

  15. Virtuozzo Linux 8 support

    Since Centos is unfortunately no longer available in its original form, it would be good if appropriate alternatives were available as a host OS.
    Here Virtuozzo Linux 8 is ideal because they have many years of experience in this environment and we know that the quality is right ...
    The risk that VZLinux disappears from the screen is also lower than with the various newer RHEL clones which apeared lately.
    Apart from that, VZLinux also offers migration paths from Centos 7 + 8 to VZLinux 8, which makes life much easier for many administrators ...

    After a detailed analysis, we decided not to invest in support/test/fix/announce VzLinux8 compatibility. This decision was made based on extremally low usage for VzLinux7 for Plesk. Unfortunately, our plans are as follows.

    Virtuozzo team might have their own plan to test/announce the scenario with Plesk product, it’s up to them.

  16. Be able to choose which SQL servers customers can choose between in the subscriptions settings.

    Now, you can only choose which one should be the default.

    Ex: SQL Server PrestaShop or Magento users with high Capacity in which the customer pays for performance.

  18. Customize Quick installation of Wordpress

    It would be great to add ability to customize Quick installation settings of Wordpress. For example,currently it is not possible to change installation path in case of Quick installation option is selected. However it maybe required to modify the path without customizing other options (such as Administrative access credentials, main configuration etc), Having ability to modify default quick installation settings would be a nice tool, which make it easier to use WordPress for end-users.

  19. Overuse Policy: Overuse is not allowed + Grace Period

    Right now there are 3 options:

    • Overuse is not allowed (this is preferred but will disable customers site once limit is hit)
    • Overuse of disk space and traffic is allowed
    • Overuse is allowed (not recommended)

    Scenario:

    A resellers Overuse Policy is set to:
    Overuse is not allowed

    That reseller has his warning set to 90% of his 10GB package.
    But on 1 day, one of his customers uploads 2GB.

    Effect: His total package has 12GB and the nightly run will disable his package, without warning.

    Result: The reseller is angry because all of his customers are offline,
    only because one…

    In filemanager we have abilities to create empty file and upload file from PC. I want to get ability to set link and upload file to server. To install some app now I should download distributive from vendor's site to my local pc, then I should upload it via FTP/FM on server.
