In progress
Actively being worked on. Will land in the next 1-3 minor releases.
Plesk import
cPanel, DirectAdmin and HestiaCP accounts import today. Plesk is the obvious next format and nothing is written for it yet — its backups are structured differently enough that the existing reader does not simply extend to them.
Pulling accounts straight off the old server
Migration today reads a backup archive you already have. A transfer tool would take the old server's credentials, list its accounts and fetch them itself — the useful half for anyone moving dozens of accounts at once. The importer underneath would not change; it is only a different way of getting the archive.
Considering
Ideas with merit. No commitment to ship — these need either user demand or product clarity before they leave this list.
API reference documentation
The REST API already exists and powers both the admin and customer panels, and API tokens ship on Pro and above — it just is not documented publicly yet. The CLI reference is already up at /docs/cli.
Onboarding wizard for first-time installs
Replacing install-then-figure-it-out with a guided first run: hostname, admin user, first site, first customer. Creating a customer account is already one step rather than five, which was the worst of it, so this is now a smaller job than it was.
Account & site ownership transfer
Move a site — with its domains, databases, and mail — from one customer to another, admin/reseller-initiated. Requested by testers. The database side is simple; the careful part is moving files and the per-account Linux user cleanly, so it's scoped but not yet scheduled.
First-class container hosting
NovaPanel already runs Docker-runtime sites; the larger consideration is full container hosting — deploy an image, expose a port, get an auto-domain + TLS. Tradeoff is scope creep, so we'd build it carefully rather than as a swiss-army-knife.
Multi-server fleet view
Operators running NovaPanel on 5+ boxes manage them individually today. A meta-panel that shows fleet-wide health + lets you push config across servers would be a Developer-tier feature.
Extension / plugin API
Letting third parties add functionality (e.g., Imunify-style malware scanners, custom site builders). Risky — extensions are a security surface. Would only ship behind a strict signing policy.
Windows host support
Honest answer: probably never. The work is huge and the audience for 'Windows hosting via a control panel' has been declining for a decade. Plesk handles this case well.
