A new control panel available within the VPS packages

About Plesk

Alongside cPanel, Plesk is one of the most widely used commercial control panels.

Launched in 2001, the panel has gone through several stages of development and modernization, adding value to the platforms and administrators who have used and continue to use it over time. Today, according to the developer's own statistics, 50% of the top providers of various services use Plesk in their activities.
Developed to run on both Linux and Windows systems, Plesk is a control panel that centralizes various functions of an administrator into a single interface.
Adding, deleting, and modifying websites as well as installing, uninstalling, or updating various system services is possible from this interface, along with performance monitoring.

In addition to its comprehensive interface, Plesk automates various tasks that need to be performed on a web server. For developers, it offers multiple programming environments including PHP and Node.js.

Facilities

Plesk offers all the features we are accustomed to and desire from a control panel, such as: domain management, email, databases, files, dns zones, etc.
Additionally, through two catalogs, Extension and Application, it is possible to extend the functionalities provided by the Plesk panel by installing various system extensions and applications.

Why?

There are several reasons why we implement and offer Plesk as an option for the control panel, alongside Webuzo and cPanel.
We aim to expand the number of software solutions we provide, to address the requests from customers who have requested this control panel, but also to offer a cost-effective control panel option compared to cPanel for VPS customers who manage a small number of domains.
Although Webuzo is already in this price category, even offering it as a free panel, it is relatively new to the market and often suffers from various shortcomings.
On the other hand, Plesk represents a stable solution, tested and developed over time.

Licenses and rates

Currently, three types of Plesk licenses can be purchased along with the offered VPSs, namely:

• Plesk 10 - allows hosting of 10 distinct domains - at a rate of 7.99 €/month
• Plesk 30 - allows hosting of 30 distinct domains - at a rate of 10.99 €/month
• Plesk Unlimited - allows hosting an unlimited number of domains at 18.99 €/month
  
  

*The prices do not include VAT.
Domains parked/alias and subdomains are not included within the above limits. Only domains added to standalone accounts and additional domains will be counted.

Management

Just like for cPanel/Webuzo panels, the installation/configuration and server management, as well as the panel, will be done by Hostico if the client does not wish to manage it in an unmanaged mode.
In addition, in the following weeks we will complete the tutorials section and the frequently asked questions section with articles on the operation and use of Plesk.
