Biggest opportunity: “host”, “hosting” and “manager” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 5.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.27, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| ispconfig your tag | #1 | #1 | — |
| host your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| hosting your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

WordPress installs easily with the APS installer included with ISPConfig 3. However, you’ll get either an http error or an Error 500 Internal Server Error when you try to upload new media files. Adjusting permissions and .htaccess doesn’t help. To fix the problem the following argument needs to be added to the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file (path for CentOS 6.7 installation). FcgidMaxRequestLen 2000000 The restart Apache and uploads should work fine. I added the above argument to the end of the httpd.conf file, but it probably doesn’t matter where you put it in the file.

I have a while using ISPConfig 3 and I love it. Recently I’m using this WordPress plugin with a remote user through ISPConfig API for create complete clients with site, DNS, etc etc. All in one step. I found very useful for me and I’m creating new tools for add in a close future.
