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 over time to the platforms and administrators who have used and continue to use it. 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 the 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 functionalities we are accustomed to and that we want 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 offered by the Plesk panel by installing various system extensions and applications.

Why?

There are several reasons why we implement and offer Plesk as a control panel option, alongside Webuzo and cPanel.
We want to both expand the number of software solutions we offer, to meet the needs of customers who have requested this control panel, and to provide a control panel option at a lower price than cPanel for VPS customers managing a small number of domains.
Although Webuzo is already in this price category, being offered even 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, proven solution developed over time.

Licenses and fees

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 for 18.99 €/month
  
  

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

Administration

As with cPanel/Webuzo panels, the installation/configuration and administration of the server, as well as the panel, will be done by Hostico if the client does not wish to manage it in unmanaged mode.
Additionally, in the coming weeks we will complete the tutorials section and frequently asked questions with articles regarding the operation and use of Plesk.
