The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release. -
The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
Main wordpress plugins

The plugins solely depend on what your website needs. As a rule of thumb, install as little number of plugins as possible, because each additional plugin slows down the website.
Most people like Contactform7 to run their contact forms, and many use Jetpack to extend a few Wordpress functions. You will probably need a Captcha plugin like ReCaptcha, and many people are using Yoast SEO. All of these have been a round for along time and can be considered "safe". But all these are purely optional, and they might not perfectly fit your needs.
When selecting a Wordpress plugin, two factors come into play: Watch out for the number of stars a plugin got (rating). Personally, I'd never even try out one that has less than four out of five stars. Also watch how many users have rated a plugin. If it is only a low number, you cannot be sure that the rating is accurate enough. Normally, plugins that have four stars or more and many ratings, e.g. >1,000, can be considered more or less "safe". Plugins with low ratings or a low number of users always pose a risk to the website's security. The same is true for themes.

After using Wordfence for a while, I can highly recommend using any kind of firewall plugin.
It's incredible how many login attempts a WordPress site gets from bots.
I can also recommend the Complianz plugin for Cookie notices.
