Prevent users from installing SSL certificates
As reseller (or administrator) we should be able to prevent customers installing a selfsigned or 3rd party bought SSL certificate themselves.
It's not possible to disable the 'SSL support' check box within the
'Service Plans' menu section 'Hosting Parameters' because as Administrator we install customer SSL certificates by API. Disabling 'SSL support' will also disable installing SSL certificates by API.13 votes -
Express transfer: migration manager option to change IP address
cPanel has a feature much appreciated: transfer in "Express Transfer".
This feature allows you to migrate one or more domains from a source server to a server with changing IP ADDRESS from old to new server.I think it's time to apply it in Plesk.

Support of SELinux
Attacks to web servers are in increasing. All modern Linux distribution come with SELinux. SELinux is a perfect way to avoid an attacker to get privileged access to the OS. Currently, Plesk is not supporting SELinux.
Support should be added. A policy should be provided to configure SELinux to support all PLESK relevant actions on the server.13 votes -
PLESK performance optimization
Please optimize the plesk panel in terms of database performance, apache and nginx. I tested a few free panels and they fared much better in terms of performance than the plesk panel. So something's up. Tested in the same environment. Regards

Add "Are you sure?" question for disabling DNS zone management.
It happend allready twice to me that i accedently disabled a dns zone because i misclicked the button. Every time it takes about 3+ hours until all dns servers are sync again if this error happens so it would be nice if plesk asks you: "Are you sure?" with a simple yes and cancle button.

Add "mail.example.com" (mail subdomain) in Subject Alternative Names when option "Assign the certificate to mail domain" is selected
Currently almost all mail clients (I used) need the server address to be in the Subject Alternative Names on the certificate, meaning if the configured address is "mail.example.com" instead of "example.com", that first subdomain is not present in the certificate, even when the option "Assign the certificate to mail domain" is selected when issuing the certificate.

git extension: option to delete branches
Git extension: option to delete branches that are not more in the remote repository (or everything and with the next pull get only the ones from remote).
Here are some possible solutions, I assume:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7726949/remove-tracking-branches-no-longer-on-remoteAfter some time there are so many branches on the dropdown that it really gets annoying to search for the desired one and removing and adding the repository does not really feel right.
Here is a command, in case someone finds this idea before it was implemented:

Add ability to manage NAT rules by Plesk Firewall.
Native Linux tool iptable has the ability to add custom NAT rules, however when Plesk Firewall is used these rules are flushed, so it is not possible to use Plesk Firewall + NAT rules by iptables.
Due to this adding possibility to manage NAT rules via Plesk Firewall would be a great extension, making configuration manageable via Plesk graphical interface.

Nginx restart interval functionality
An Nginx restart interval should be helpful for situations when users use API calls to modify domain's PHP settings. This results in multiple nginx reloads:
/var/log/plesk/rc_actions:
INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:26:00 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:26:44 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:26:59 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:28:06 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reload
INFO: [Tue Feb 26 15:29:11 CET 2019]: Service: nginx, Action: try-reloadA similar functionality exists for apache in Tools & Settings > Apache web server > Restart interval.

block bad bots by default
There are many bots that can actually DoS a server using Plesk. Since there's no way to limit their connections they can overload a server really easily. Currently the only way to block them is by reading the logs and implementing blocks in nginx or .htaccess rules.
It would be great if there could be some security by default. The community has created very comprehensive lists that could be used and auto updated / maintained by cron jobs.
Here's an example for Apache

And here's for Nginx

Add HTTP authentication to Panel itself
I think you should add HTTP authentication to the Plesk panel itself - that way it is more secure and if there is ever a vulnerability that allows bypassing the Plesk panel login, someone would also have to find a vulnerability in HTTP authentication itself before even getting to the Plesk panel in the first place. To me it makes more sense to make the Plesk panel itself the most secure it can possibly be, not just websites/virtual hosts hosted by the Plesk panel.

Wordpress Toolkit favoritism and filtering
Currently the Wordpress Toolkit interface is a bit messy with all the Wordpress instances of you and your customers.
It would be great if there would be the possibility so that you can mark and filter for certain Wordpress instances. Marking with stars could make it possible that the most important Wordpress instances always appear on the top and can be checked for updates and security issues very quickly.12 votes -
