Implement DNS Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) resource record
Certification Authority Authorization (CAA), defined in RFC 6844, is a standard that allows domain name owners to control which CAs are allowed to issue certificates for their properties.
ssllabs.com has implemented the detection for this record when checking for the SSL grade they give. To prevent getting graded down and use state of the art techniques for ssl security I would usggest to allow adding those nameserver record.
RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6844
ssllabs announcement https://blog.qualys.com/ssllabs/2017/01/13/whats-new-ssl-labs-1-26-594 votesThis functionality is now available in the Plesk 17.8 preview. We encourage you to check the implementation and let us know what you think. Please visit the following forum thread to learn how to access the preview: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/plesk-onyx-17-8-preview.343283/
We would appreciate hearing your feedback on the implementation of this functionality. Thanks in advance!

implement dynamic mailing lists
Microsoft has a feature called "dynamic distribution groups" https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123722(v=exchg.160).aspx
This is usefull when you want to create a distribution group for the whole company or some departments.
Should be simple to implement by using the contacts fields: i.e. company name or department has to be the same and the firstname and lastname fields must not be empty. The department, firstname and lastname fields should be added to the contact details and should also be immediatly visible during creation of a user.

Unfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.

Implement the option of "Projects"
As most of the cloud services have (Ex: Digitalocean, hetzner etc), Plesk should implement "Projects".
Any user (Regular and reseller) can create project cubes (with its own name) and insert domains, or customers inside.
This will help to make the UI even better and organized.

Manage all the additional Plesk PHP-FPM versions in Watchdog Monitoring extension
The following User Voice request was rejected long time ago: https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/35256088
However, it is a must that the Watchdog Monitoring extension would allow the Plesk administrator to monitor the additional Plesk PHP-FPM versions.
As per now, going to Extensions > My Extensions > Watchdog, it only supports OS PHP-FPM.
The additional Plesk PHP-FPM handlers are part of Plesk and this request should be considered by the developers.
The following workaround allows the monitoring but it is not possible to manage it from Plesk GUI: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000584394
18 votesIn the past, when some OSes supported by Plesk used 'sysvinit', it was reasonable to monitor and restart PHP-FPM services. Currently, all supported OSes are systemd-based and systemd monitors and restarts PHP-FPM services by itself if necessary.
Monit (as a part of the Watchdog extension) performs regular checks every 5 minutes. The systemd detects the service down in a few seconds and restarts it.
The question is, is the request still valid and actual? Why do you prefer to monitor PHP-FPM services with Watchdog/Monit, and why is systemd monitoring not enough?

Linode DNS Extension
Same sort of thing as the Route53 extension just with Linode Cloud DNS

Implement AppArmor support for Apache
AppArmor provides much stronger security for web applications than what is currently available, especially since PHP open_basedir is both slow and known to be insecure.
With AppArmor you don't need such settings, and it is possible to allow PHP functions such as exec() and system() - but only allow access to certain binaries. This provides a more flexible system for our customers, and we have more fine-grained control over what they can and cannot access.
http://wiki.apparmor.net/index.php/Mod_apparmor_example
Additional AppArmor profiles for services that come with Plesk might be useful too, but securing Apache is the main thing.

Include email directories in disk space viewer extension
As described in https://www.facebook.com/groups/plesk/posts/24753472967632807 the Disk Space Viewer extension only shows the usage of directories in a subscription's webserver file path, e.g. /var/www/vhosts/subscriptioname/. The display is misleading some users that have a lot of storage space occupied in their mailboxes. For that reason it would be good if the extension could also include the mailbox paths of a subscription.

please add redmine as an extension
as I want to add redmine to our website, but I can't set. if Plesk has redmine as a extension, I can install it easier.
2 votesThis request did not become popular. We must decline it. But there is an alternative solution: If the manufacturer of Redmine feels that it can give their product a boost if it becomes available as a Plesk extension, they could use the free Plesk API to develop an extension. For a guide how to do that, please visit https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/extensions-guide/plesk-extensions-in-a-nutshell.76331/ This is also available for users, so you can write your own extension as well.

Add warning message if Postgres installed on the Web Admin License but without Developer pack extension
The Postgres installed on the Plesk Web Admin edition but not persists in Tools & Settings > Database servers.
To manage PostgreSQL Developer pack extension required. But it does not produce any warnings about that which is confusing.
Also, there is no information about Developer pack in license management. I would suggest to add new tab "paid extension" in Tools & Settings > Licensing management
2 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality for the upcoming releases if it becomes popular enough.
Everyone, please keep voting for this feature if you consider it important.

Add SSH2 extension to PHP default extensions to improve security
Hi,
Please consider add SSH2 extension to PHP default available extensions.
To be able to use FTP over SSH (SFTP) the SSH2 extension must be installed on PHP.
IN SHORT: SFTP (SSH2 EXTENSION) = SECURITY
SFTP means secure file transfer via Secure Shell (or SSH), hence the name SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). The two devices (server and client) communicate via a single channel, that of SSH, in which the remote file management commands are sent and where the file transfer takes place. By default, the only port required for SFTP is 22, the same as SSH.
SFTP …
33 votesSince Plesk Obsidian 18.0.49 that was published December 20th, 2022, the Plesk PHP configuration page in "Tools & Settings" has a new option where you can easily install PHP PECL packages. The SSH2 extension is a PECL package as described in https://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2. It can be installed right out of the Plesk user surface using the new PECL installer.

Install extensions from PEAR
Plesk should have a section where you can install php extensions from PEAR easily with a single click as has CPANEL
49 votesSince PEAR is more or less obsolete and Plesk 12.5 introduces PHP Composer support, we do not believe that we should spend our time and resources on supporting PEAR. We suggest everyone to switch to PHP Composer. If you want to discuss this, please use our forums (forum.odin.com). Thanks.

System Updates and Extension Updates History
It would be nice to have a simple listing of the last 30 days or so history of System Updates and Extension Updates. Currently when Plesk updates System components or extensions automatically, we're left wondering what was updated, unless we dig into the server logs via command-line. Thanks for all your hard work BTW.
