Does Plesk support international characters in domain names?
Since ‘Plesk 7 Reloaded’ Plesk includes complete support for the International Domain Naming conventions and their characters.
UTF8 character support is integrated as part of the interface redesign so Plesk will fully recognize characters from Japan, Korea, China, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, Austria, China, Arabic countries and many other native language characters.

Plesk error: “gzip: stdout: Broken pipe” when attempting to backup domains
Reason: Backup utility failed to write data to disk for some reasons.
Check permissions on backup folder and it’s sub folders. Right permissions are:
grep DUMP_D /etc/psa/psa.conf | awk ‘{print “ls -ld “$2}’ | sh
drwxr-x— 7 psaadm psaadm /var/lib/psa/dumps
Make sure that is is enough free disk space on dump partition.

Spam whitelist limited to 100 addresses in Plesk Control Panel
By default Plesk only allows you to have 100 email addresses listed in your whitelist and blacklists.
It was done to limit CPU usage by spamassassin, because by adding several hundreds of mail addresses into one of the lists user can decrease server performance. Or user can advisedly, add a lot of addresses into list, send a lot of mails and all server will be very slow.
In Plesk CP user can see how many addresses he can add into list(100 minus already added quantity of addresses). If before upgrade to 8.1 (this limit doesn’t exists in earlier version) there were added more than 100 addresses user will see negative number.

Every device connected to the public Internet is assigned a unique number known as an Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP addresses consist of four numbers separated by periods, e.g. 127.0.0.1. Knowing the current IP Address of your home computer can be helpful when troubleshooting an issue.

3. Click the icon for IP Addresses, and you will see a number X under the heading hosting on the far right which indicates how many domains you have on each corresponding IP address.
4. Click on the number you see for the IP address in question.
5. On the next page, you’ll see radio buttons next to each of your domains. Select the radio button for the Domain that you want to see when browsing to your IP address, and then click Set as Default.
