Allow hard disk quota to be set for multiple drives
When setting hard disk quota for domains or subscriptions, allow the user to set limits for drives other than that stored in HTTPDVHOSTSD (e.g.: /dev/sda) such as /dev/sdb, /dev/sda2, etc.
1 votePlesk can only calculate disk usage of files that it knows about (that are part of the Plesk universe on the server). By design it is not expected to have files outside the structures that are known to Plesk. It does not seem to make much sense to calculate the total disk usage for a user within Plesk for files that cannot be reached by Plesk or by the user through the Plesk panel. We must decline this request as it also did not receive a significant number of votes.

Option to configure Apache / Nginx Startserver etc.
I need to change "Performance" settings like Startserver, Serverlimit etc. by editing webserver.conf
As I use Dedicated (HARDWARE) Servers, the default limits are pretty low for a 8 Core / 16 Thread system with 64G Ram.

maxexecutiontime
maxinputtime

opcache.enable
disablefunctionsIn a subscription with this service plan assigned, PHP settings are reset after php version changed under customer account. They should not be reset.

Ad Web-Browser for accessing local config-pages of 3rd-party services
An integrated Web-Browser for accessing configuration-pages of 3rd-party services on localhost would be fine.
For example:
We are using "Fuseki" wich is a RDF-Query server. This Service comes with a Web-accessible configuration-interface and does not support authentication. So i limited access to "localhost" because i dont want to make this thing public. But i want to make the config-page available to admins. It would be great it they just can open a browser from inside plesk-panel and enter the localhost-URL of the service-page. (Maybe with bookmarks). The browser itself my be limited to localhost-access for security reasons.1 voteUnfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.

wordpress toolkit disable auto update
Plesk Web Admin version comes with a limited WP Toolkit.
It updates WP automatically and the option to deactivate the autoupdate is blocked because of licensing.
I understand that to handle updates from Plesk one should buy a Toolkit license but for the basic free version it should be possible do disable updates.
Thank you.

Customize Plesk notifications for each customer
Currently, Plesk notifications (like "Subscription expiration", "Resource usage limits exceeded by subscription", etc.) are the same for all Plesk users.
It would be great to have a possibility to customize notifications individually for each subscription or customer to personalize information about payments and offers.

Add an admin reporting tool so can quickly see domain SSL usage, domain PHP version usage by domain, PHP settings by domain
For instance the page https://...:8443/admin/ssl-certificate/list shows the default is used 16 times. TIME? WHICH DOMAINS?
Similarly...
Which domains still using PHP 5?
Which domains have PHP uploadmaxfilesize > 16M?
Which domains have PHP memory_limit > 1G?
Which domains use AWSTATS?
... etc ... etc ...1 voteAfter 3 years this request only got 1 vote. As it did not become popular we must decline it.

Modify Panel Log Rotation with more options for statistics
It is not possible to select a finer grain log rotation limitation on site statistics files other than by month. This grossly ignores the possibility of huge statistics files for very active sites and does not offer enough granularity on selection rotation schemes.
At the very least, the statistics log rotation configuration should offer the same options that are offered for (regular) log file rotation.

Suggestion: Add a Dedicated Reverse Proxy Option in the Domain/Subdomain Setup
Currently, Plesk allows configuring reverse proxies through the "Apache & Nginx" tab under "Additional nginx directives." While functional, this approach can be tedious and less intuitive, especially for users managing multiple servers or specific use cases. Adding a dedicated "Reverse Proxy" option during domain or subdomain setup would greatly enhance usability and streamline the process.
For instance, when creating a subdomain, users could choose "Reverse Proxy" as a hosting type, alongside options like "Web Hosting" or "Mail Hosting." This feature could include an intuitive configuration interface with settings such as:
Specifying the target server (e.g., local machine or external…
1 voteThank you for your suggestion. Plesk is primarily designed as a web hosting control panel, with a focus on simplifying website and mail hosting management. Implementing a reverse proxy interface with the level of flexibility and customization you described would require significant architectural changes and expanding into advanced proxy management, particularly for game servers and similar setups, falls outside of our scope.
Additionally, standalone reverse proxy tools like Nginx Proxy Manager or similar solutions can be integrated alongside Plesk for more complex use cases. Solutions specifically designed for game server management might be better suited to such tasks.
With that said, we are closing the current request.

Separate notifications about each of entities included in DiskUsage
Currently it is possible to set notifications about "Whole" Disk usage of a subscription (mail, databases, web files). Yes, it is possible to exclude some units for calculating in T&S > Server Settings, however it would be great if customer/administrator received notifications about each separate resource overuse, that can be defined.

separation of subscription locking and syncing with service plans
Hello,
currently any change done to subscriptions using customize will result in causing the subscription to lock and need resyncing. The only two buttons to save customizations are "apply and lock" and "update and lock".
The change you make might affect just one area like the renewal date however the whole subscription is marked as locked. If you unlock and sync all customizations made through other areas of the subscription are removed, including custom php directives, php memory_limit, and other configuration settings that are important to keep so that the customer's subscription will keep their websites working.

Add SmarterMail admin email management in Plesk
Users who create email accounts through Plesk do not have the option to configure them with administrator permissions in SmarterMail.
This limits their ability to manage spam filters, safe senders, and other advanced settings directly in SmarterMail.
Add an option in the Plesk email account creation process to assign administrator permissions in SmarterMail.
This would allow users to manage their email accounts more fully and autonomously.3 votes -
Better notification settings.
Please extend the notification settings in Plesk with more possibilitys to send direct mails to the clients. it is highly important that the administrator and reseller can change the Subject of the notification-mails (cause of language-issues). our clients get english subjects but the mailcontent is in german.
1 voteThank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, this request contains several different suggestions, and it’s not technically possible to properly handle them inside one request. Please consider creating separate feature requests for each of the items below:
1. There is mass email notification to customers functionality https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/administrator-guide/mail/mass-email-notifications.59283/ so this request is already covered.
2. Setting subject for such notifications is already suggested by ohter customer in this uservoice request https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/3672070-being-able-to-modify-the-subject-in-notification-e – please vote for it.—

Folders for Customers and Subscriptions
It would be really useful to have customers and subscriptions divided into folders. In addition to plans, folders will help split elements by different criteria. Consider category/tag in Wordpress, in Plesk a plan describe the limitations and settings while a Folder can help you find a specific set of customers faster.

Multiple scheduled Backups
It would be useful to have the ability to make scheduled backups in more than just one FTP server, so that you have multiple backups.
For example, with the Strasbourg fire, I lost two VPSs and the server where I had backups of them.
By having a backup on an additional server, I would have limited the damage.
1 voteWe are closing this request as there was no demand for it during the course of two years. As an alternative what we can suggest is to consider configuring an additional cloud storage (Plesk can be integrated with Amazon S3, Google Drive, DropBox, DigitalOcean Spaces, Microsoft OneDrive) or manually transferring the backup copies after completion to an additional FTP server. We would still like to thank you for your input.
