Add new site or modify existing site without Apache restart /graceful restart
For example, Odin uses a system where all the website information is stored inside a NoSQL database, and apache just reads this data with a special module:
http://www.odin.com/products/automation/services-and-applications/shared-hosting-next-generation/
38 votesThis feature has not gotten many votes during the past five years. Technically, a graceful restart of Apache is unnoticeable for the user as not service interruption occurs. Further, Apaches model loads all configuration data into memory upon start or reload. The Odin link provided in the comments does not lead to a more details explanation of the feature request. And finally, in the Nginx/Apache combination with an increasing number of users considering Nginx-only hosting a change in the Apache worker process won't be sufficient.
Please provide a sound explanation why a graceful restart of web servers is insufficient for adding or modifying web server configuration.

Hide/Show Database Servers for clients
Administrator should have the possibility to make Database Servers hidden from Clients.
My scenario is:
1 or more servers that are intended for Web only (Nginx+Apache+PHP/Ruby/Python)
2 or more servers for Databases (MySQL / could be PostgreSQL also)In the Database Servers, the administrators should be able to select visible servers for clients.
Why? Ideal is to hide the localhost server when only external are to be used. Some DB servers may get to full and you want the clients to select only from lower used ones. You have demands from different clients to support older versions of MySQL for…

Backup to Nextcloud
Now that you are adding the ability to install Nextcloud on Plesk, it would be nice if we can use it as a backup location. This way the backups can be easily synced to the computers that are connected to the account.

Allow domain forwarding for every domain in a subscription, including the subscription domain
Currently it is not possible to make domain-forwarding for every Domain in an Abonnement. You have to select website-Hosting for the first domain to enable Forwarding for other Domains.
37 votesMany providers set a placeholder domain as the main subscription domain so that all domains actually "in use" in a subscription can be freely configured. Please consider this option as it will immediately solve the issue for you.
Besides that, this is a valid request. Everyone, please keep voting for it if you believe it is important.

Better fighting spam
Hello Pleskians, here some appointments for a better antispam solution
- All major spammers knows rules of spamassassin so he very ineffective.
- The training mode (inside of round cube) "Mark as spam" DOENS'T WORK, does not matter how long, how much you mark as spam.

there is a plugin to integrate on Roundcube maybe will work

Upd: We’re happy to announce that DMARC support is now available in Plesk Onyx. You can enable DMARC to check incoming mail on a Linux-based server (using any mail server supported by Plesk) or on a Windows-based server (using SmarterMail only). For more information about DMARC, see https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/onyx/whats-new/#s17
Notice, that the request remained opened and please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

Allow Wordpress Scan to search for a custom directory name instead of wp-content
I habitually rename my wp-contents directory for security reasons (as part of iThemes Security). As a result Plesk no longer recognises the Wordpress installations on the server, when scanning so I'm unable to take advantage of Plesk's Wordpress features.
Please could this be modified to allow me to specify a custom name for my wp-contents directory?
36 votesThis looks like a valid feature, so we’ll see when we can implement it. Please continue voting if this feature is important for you, so we can prioritize feature accordingly.

Make possible to manage limit_req_zone for nginx
modbw cannot be used for limiting connection when nginx enabled. Plesk does not provide out of box enabling and configuring limitation of connections for nginx. Please add support for limitreqzone which provide similar functionality as modbw for nginx so that it would possible to control such resources.
35 votesWe will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.
However, please be aware that rate-limiting web traffic can and should normally be done using iptables as it is much more effective and resource savvy doing it on the operating system/kernel level. If there are issues with web traffic, it is best to not to let it get to the web server in the first place.

However, in part of integration with 3rd party, probably it will be faster if you create Plesk extension. Please refer to https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/17.0/extensions-guide/what-are-plesk-extensions%3F.76331/ to know how.

Backup single account
It would be great to have a single interface to manage backups of individual accounts (single-domain or single user).
I would like to manage a single server backup ftp and let me choose which accounts to backup.Obviously the backup file must be "single" for each account and not a single file for the entire server. If you want to make the restore of a single account, I have to use a single backup file.
Currently I have a script that through bash (or cygwin for windows) backs up the single account by bees and upload via ftp on external…

Create only mail accounts when mail is actually enabled, instead of on domain creation
As soon as any account is created in Plesk, a mail account is setup in Smartermail, used for managing the mail domain. This is one of the few minor issues for those using Plesk in a load balanced solution (which is actually remarkably possible!). It is also tricky for those running a limited smartermail license (e.g. 250 accounts, many of which are now unwanted Plesk management accounts).
It should not be so difficult to setup the mail account only when mail is enabled on a domain, and have Plesk just leave the mail server alone for domains that do not…

add the ability to install Roundcube plugins
Is it true that Plesk's Roundcube version does not support plugins like the Calendar plugin listed on https://myroundcube.com/myroundcube-plugins/calendar-plugin.
My service provider Codero told me that it is not possible to install plugins to my Plesk Roundcube email. Is this true?
33 votesThis feature request has not yet gained a lot of traction. Maybe this is because some users are indeed installing Roundcube plugins., You can download Roundcube plugins via SSH for example, then untar the archives to the Roundcube plugin directory. Once the files have been installed, add the plugin to the $config['plugins'] array in the config.inc.php file. Plesk updates will not overwrite it.
Anyway, would it be nicer to have this in the Plesk GUI? Everyone please keep voting for this feature if you believe it is important.

Allow DNS API to add the TXT record when renewing wildcard Let's Encrypt certificates
When the DNS service is not hosted on Plesk, the Let's Encrypt wildcard certificate cannot be renewed automatically. Therefore, please provide us with a way to use our own DNS tools (API or script) to create the TXT record on our side and force the extension SSL It! to finish the issuing by itself.

read-only FTP-users (even on Linux)
