  1. Add to Plesk possibility of installing certificates from ACME-compliant services other than Let's Encrypt

    In Plesk, there is a Let's Encrypt which is an ACME-compliant vendor of certificates. It would be good to have another one or the possibility to implement other ACME-compliant certificates via Plesk tools. For example JPRS: https://jprs.jp/pubcert/about/ACME/index.html

  2. In this Free SSL era, customers should be able to install SSL certificates with API, for automation (like cPanel)

    Two issues I am facing with Plesk API for SSL certificate:

    1. The end user (customer) should have permission to manage SSL/TLS Certificates with API: The customer can install an SSL certificate with the GUI but not with API. My shared hosting provider has hidden the Let's Encrypt SSL option. I can install a LE SSL with the GUI. But manually renewing the SSL certificate every two months is a time-consuming task and if I forget to renew, the SSL will expire. If Plesk allows the end user (customer) to install SSL certificates with the API, I can easily automate the…

  3. Update APS application via CLI

    It will be very helpful to implement a feature in Plesk to update APS application via CLI.

    Once there is available an update for an APS, in Plesk GUI, there is possibility to install or update APS application for an specific domain.

    Such option should be available via CLI as well.

  4. 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…

  5. Add ipset in Firewall to increase performance

    Please extend the Firewall / Concept to make the use of ipset, because it is generally the fastest solution i found so far. Chains like "f2b-recidive" can also be implemented as ipset list. This will speed up the whole process while adding or removing ips. I dont know if there is a cidr support in ipset...

    For example, remove the following chain:

    f2b-plesk-postfix tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 multiport dports 25,465,587

    And extend the firewall with a native DROP on the ports as described below:

    DROP tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 multiport dports 25,465,587 match-set f2b-plesk-postfix src

    And then (or before?)…

  8. Autodiscover for the latest Outlook version 2019 and O365

    Mail autodiscover in Plesk Obsidian does not support the latest Outlook version 2019 and O365.

  9. Plesk Migrator for Restricted Admin (Missing menu item)

    Currently, the plesk migrator extension will be hidden for restricted admin users on the "Tools & Settings" page. Direct access by Extensions → Plesk Migrator still works, if the privilege "Manage Extensions" is granted.

    The plesk migrator should be also visible on "Tools & Settings" for the restricted admin users if the extension privilege is granted. (Previous: Custom Views)

    Additionally, the manage_server_migration (mentioned in the docs) is not available any more.

    E.G:

    plesk bin admin --update manage_server_migration true
    

    results in:

    Unknown option 'manage_server_migration': /usr/local/psa/bin/admin --update manage_server_migration true
    
    
    exit status 1

  10. Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity) for NGINX and Apache

    Hi,

    Please consider implementing Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity) for NGINX and Apache in the next Plesk update.

    At the moment any Plesk user if he wants to use Mod Security (official version supported by Plesk) is forced to use it as a web server:

    • Apache

    or

    • Apache + NGINX

    Any Plesk user who wants to use only NGINX as a web server and without using Apache at the moment cannot use Mod Security because Plesk does not currently support it for NGINX exclusively web servers.

    Here are some of the advantages of Mod Security v3.x.x (aka libmodsecurity and…

  16. Prevent Plesk's background services to communicate to services on the internet on servers that are placed on a private network/intranet .

    Create a feature that enables switch off background services on Plesk like Extension catalog, Application (APS) catalog, KA service to trying to communicate with external Plesk's service servers on the internet.
    It will be usefull on Plesk servers that will be placed on internal/intranet networks were access to the internet is not possible, since requests to external services makes Plesk UI slow as the connection to external services fails.

    There are no plans to make Plesk a web server control panel for servers that are not connected to the Internet. For licensing, updates and server functions such as SSL with OCSP stapling it is also required to have Internet access. As this request did not become popular during the past years, we must decline it.

    -- PD

  17. Let us have Plesk cGroups Manager out of the box

    I think that with the price of cloudlinux being so cheap at 14$ per 1 license which includes the capability of using cGroups to manage resources, plesk should offer it out of the box and not on a paid extension because it's effectively cheaper to use cloudlinux for all the extra benefits instead of buying the hosting pack just for cGroups manager.

    Please consider adding it as a permanent feature out of the box.

  18. Knowing the emails that exceed the "outgoing email spam" plesk 12.x

    Hi,

    with plesk 12, at last, has been implemented function "limit outgoing email," however, it would be possible to save one or more copies of emails that exceed the limits set in a specific administrative function of plesk?

    In doing so, it is very easy for a amministartore, to know if the emails that exceed the limits are spam emails or newsletters, or otherwise. This option would enhance the work of our administrators, thus avoiding going to analyze the SMTP queue.

    This message stored, will be deleted automatically from plesk for X days.

    If what I wrote is not…

  19. Fail2ban make use of client commands like reload jail

    Now that fail2ban has been implemented it is important that the system follows best guidelines when we make edits to the system. While I can just as easily make changed to the system correctly via the command line. When I make any changes through the Plesk interface it reloads ALL jails instead of the one I am working with. This will release any IPs that are currently blocked in addition to reloading all jails which is not necessary. Also suggest placing a reload jail(s) option in the interface and build existing testing features of fail2ban into plesk to verify…

  20. Notification when importing a database dump file

    Please implement a warning when importing a database dump file via Plesk > Domains > example.com > Databases > Import Dump.

    The warning should state that if the "Recreate the database" field is checked, the database will be deleted and a new one with the same name will be created.
