Plesk has made my life so much easier!!!!!!!

I have been extremely happy with Plesk so far – I met some of the guys at WordCamp Nordic and they gave me an extended trial – the whole system has blown me away and I can’t wait for the new version to come out 🙂

PROS

For a start it works – doesn’t crash all the time like other web hosting software. It works with ubuntu instead of CentOS which is huge for me. It integrates amazingly well with AWS, especially RDS and Aurora databases. Having Ngnix as standard is huge, it was a real issue with cPanel … and the LetsEncrypt system works great. The NewRelix integration makes life easier.

CONS

Generally, it’s pretty good – it can be a pain to install integrations with PHP (datadog, sqreen, etc), but this is just a learning curve.

Reason for choosing Plesk

It worked without any bugs

Reasons for switching to Plesk

Spoke to the team at a WordCamp, and was getting really frustrated with cPanel at the time.

Plesk Review

A great experience! If you are uncomfortable with performing updates, changes or maintenance via a command line. Plesk allows you to perform most of these tasks through a user interface. It’s an ideal CRM for web hosting.

PROS

Mostly everything! Plesk is great platform for managing a large number of website for clients. You can create and customise your own subscription plans, limiting or extending resources per client. The software is intuitive and you have available the essential features for managing website hosting.

CONS

One missing feature that would be very useful. The ability to upgrade your databases to newer versions of MySQL (5.5 > Current). Plesk already provides the capabilty to upgrade the PHP versions per website. Having the feature to upgrade the databases would be an extremely useful addition.

Reason for choosing Plesk

We required more customisation and control.

Reasons for switching to Plesk

We required a better control panel to manage numerous websites and clients.

Plesk Review

Currently I use plesk to manage my websites, email service and database for my business. And the benefit i enjoy with plesk is their responsive customer service. They have been of help over certain issues but have also not demonstrated technical expertise in some (I had to resolve some of those issues myself).

PROS

Plesk has an easy to navigate panel and has a simple build to help first timers navigate their way through sections without any hassle or third party walk-through. It also has a one-click install option for installing certain apps like wordpress e.t.c

CONS

Although it’s easy to navigate Plesk, however the user interface isn’t very appealing. An interface like the popular cpanel is preferred. Judging by my experience, the plesk panel only allows you to open one database at a time and therefore limits multitasking (especially when i want to use records from two different databases at the same time). Unlike Cpanel, installing scripts on plesk takes a more stressful approach. Finally, i prefer that file permissions on plesk be changed to easily understandable numbers (for instance 644, 777 and so on) as opposed to alphabets. The plesk panel breaks sometimes and shows error messages that do not apply. For instance, it sometimes throws a “File too large error” for a file less than 50kb.

Plesk

Plesk provides awesome web development admin solutions. It’s easy to use and doesn’t consume much space on my droplets. I’m satisfied working with it and I highly recommend it

PROS

Well, Plesk offers one of the best web management technologies. I personally run 3 WordPress websites that are hosted on the Digital Ocean VPS and I manage every single operation on these websites smoothly using the Plesk panel.Firstly, Plesk is super easy to install and it runs perfectly (without any glitches) on the latest versions of Ubuntu and CentOs. It has too many extensions that are super useful for my site’s performance. For example, the speed kit extensions perform better with WordPress than the default Litespeed cache plugin. it’s easy to configure and works extremely well.It also provides hard-guard security, run by the Kaspersky anti-virus technology which keeps my websites free from malware attacks and there are just too many positive specs.Plesk is great in terms of security, performance, capability, and affordability. The Web Admin EditionVPS plan is sufficient for my needs.I love how friendly and responsive the customer support service is.

CONS

I have had no negative impressions about this tool so far. It’s great as it meets my business needs.

Reasons for switching to Plesk

Cyberapnel works well too but one weird thing I’ve noticed with it is, there are random failures with email mail servers. I had to switch to the Zoho mail servers because I couldn’t access the raindrop mail services that the cyber panel offers.After several configurations, It just refused to work.
