Do any of you use Plesk?

arindamb · Feb 13, 2016

I've been experimenting with Plesk the last week or so, as I'd not used it in a while. Just curious as to what peoples thoughts are on it? it's secure, stable and good to manage websites?

What do you guys think about Plesk?

I like Plesk a lot.

Plesk got a bad reputation in some previous versions that they released before they should have. Even since Plesk 10, it has been much improved.

We still use cPanel for our Linux shared hosting (since it's what most people are used to), but use Plesk for our Windows servers.

Additionally, I would like to notice, that Plesk has a great community with professional experts.

I heard that Plesk allow us use both php and asp as linux and windows hosting but I don't need windows hosting, there is an option to remove windows functions on Plesk, I think it will consume more resource if I use both OS

Thank you for the piece of information you gave me!

You can find my small review about Plesk on Linux on the forum : https://forumweb.hosting/13052-plesk-review.html

I have already tested several times some other panels (VestaCP, cPanel, CentosWP, Sentora), and if using a control panel always mean less performances than a light web server, Plesk is clearly the control panel with the less impact on your server.
And the integration of Docker in Plesk Onyx give a lot of possibility for the user (Redis, Node.js, mongodb).

Yes and if you don't know how to install docker, on debian or ubuntu :

Code:

wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh

Then you can launch your Plesk container :

Code:

docker run -d -it -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 8880:8880 -p 8443:8443 -p 8447:8447 plesk/plesk:preview

(+ Ports 80 & 443 to get access to a website created on Plesk)

You are using Windows on your computer ? Don't worry you can use docker with kitematic -> https://kitematic.com/

Yes. most of the windows hosting uses plesk. it is the best control panel available for windows hosting at the moment.

Any of you interested in Plesk should listen to our resident Plesk guru @virtubox who is some what passionate and has a great deal of knowledge about the product :book:

I do think it's a viable alternative to cPanel, Plesk is just as feature rich and will only continue to improve in the future.

Like jlsoft said, the Web PRO include WordPress toolkit and it's a main feature if you are using WordPress (it install, detect , secure and update WordPress ).

I'm currently making a complete comparative of control panels, and yes Plesk is for me the best control panel if you are using it alone
I have again spend too much times with WHM to recommend it for basic usage. To install WordPress for example it's just easier with Plesk.
I can't talk for hosting providers because I do not sell shared hosting
But to manage a vps, Plesk Onyx will be more than a serious alternative to cPanel with lower price and awesome features like nodejs or docker.
Anyone can compare Plesk and cPanel with cloudlinux here ?

We use Plesk and its great. Older versions of the panel (8, 9 and to a degree 10) were a little rough. Starting with version 11 things have been a lot better. The latest version, Onyx is really, really good and they're adding a lot of features regularly. The price makes it an extremely attractive option.

Plesk is a really good panel but cPanel is more known, if you plan to sell web hosting I would suggest cPanel instead.

Do any of you use Plesk?
