Plesk - Hostname Vs Ip Address

[ctalkington]

This component has a few issues when it comes to hostname and ip address.

 

a ) ip_address allows for IPs and Hostnames but its used in the module in places only IPs are accepted. ( see plesk.php L#433 L#443 etc)

b ) the auto login form submits to the IP as thats all it knows. this causes SSL warns which can hurt client trust.

 

I suggest that a host_name field be added like cpanel has and the ip_address be validated as IP only.

its also worth mentioning the language for "Plesk.!error.ip_address.valid" isn't set either.

any possibility of this getting a ticket and version set for correcting this.

+1 for me, though I don't use Plesk.

 

I think there should be a separate IP and Hostname field for all modules that can use one truthfully, even if only for email template purposes .

wanted to bump this to see if it can be addressed in next version.

+1 from me. I'm offering Plesk as alternative hosting solution for long time but till now never migrate clients nor start procesing new orders in Blesta ,still use integrated plesk billing,this is only service left outside blesta for me.I have plan to start working on this soon.
