There seems to be a fair amount of talk in relation to not being able to extend subscriptions after the service plans' default expiration period.
This is a problem for anyone that uses Plesk panel for hosting a small number of "personal/private" websites, for friends for example.
A number of virtual server providers do not offer Plesk Panel with Customer & Business manager as part of the license.
I have one server that I use for hosting websites for friends and colleagues that pay me once a year for hosting. I do not need a billing solution on this server, however, I do need the ability to be able to manually extend the subscription without locking it to syncing. This lack of functionality is a real pain, and I'm having to edit the psa database everytime I want to extend a subscription.
What would be really useful is the ability to extend their subscriptions without locking them. I understand that a subscriptions expiry period is defined in the service plan, and this is useful for a larger host that uses a billing system. However, for someone that doesn't run one, there is no way to extend a subscription without loosing the ability to keep hosting subscriptions syncable with plan settings.
A system wide option for the service plan sync to "ignore" the start date in the subscription would enable you to easily extend the subscription validity period, yet keep the functionality of being able to roll-out changes to the service plan hosting settings. Exactly how it used to work in PP v10.
I'm sure the return of this function would be very much appreciated by various panel users world wide, and increase the usability for many smaller/private hosting providers.
