  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

    Question 22.46% Price Increase - Are you mad?!

    So, CyberPanel and aaPanel are the panels that might suit you. Personally, I chose CloudPanel because it's dummy-friendly—I didn’t want to waste time customizing anything

    Input Why I'm quitting Plesk after nearly a decade

    The problem with SaaS licenses is that they are perpetual. You end up paying for the same service, slightly improved, for years without ever truly owning anything. I quickly calculated how much I’ve spent on Plesk licenses, and it’s an astronomical number that far exceeds my server expenses...

    Question 22.46% Price Increase - Are you mad?!

    I did it. It wasn’t very complicated—actually, CloudPanel has so few customization options that it was almost enjoyable to work with. I installed Fail2Ban and the other “magic extensions” that Plesk included by default, but it's definitely worth it as a long-term investment. Plesk is a...

    Question Seeking Affordable Plesk License Options

    CloudPanel requires a good amount of DIY; it's not an all-in-one solution like Plesk, and for many clients, it doesn't represent a viable alternative. Are the email servers you're talking about the ones that send all the emails to spam folders around the world? Just joking xD

    Question Seeking Affordable Plesk License Options

    I followed your advice and enabled basic auth. I agree, for reseller accounts, CloudPanel is indeed lacking this functionality. But I imagine that a premium version will be released in the future, offering this and other benefits compared to the free version. After all, given the prices of...

    Question Seeking Affordable Plesk License Options

    For everyone following this thread: in the end, I migrated all of my WordPress sites (and 2 HTML sites) by setting up a new CloudPanel server on Debian 12 (Hetzner). The transition was relatively painless; it took me an entire night plus a few hours in the morning, for a total of 12 hours...

    Input Enormous price increases yet again for 2025

    It was inspired by yours :) Anyway, tonight I'm migrating to CloudPanel. The first site went smoothly, now it's time for the other 9. In the meantime, I got a refund for the Plesk license I purchased during Black Friday.

    Input Enormous price increases yet again for 2025

    You can inform the investors that I am currently evaluating free platforms to host my network of websites. Plesk is fortunate because I have numerous online projects that I cannot afford to take offline in case of migration issues. However, I am gradually transitioning to CloudPanel and Webmin...

    Question Plesk Web Pro with +133% price increase?

    Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, migrations require a lot of time and bug fixing. I've done several migrations from Plesk to Plesk servers, and even within the same platform, many issues came up that needed to be fixed. It'll be worst switching to a completely different control panel...

    Issue Server 500 Error and Plesk inaccessibility due to Full Disk - Prevention tips needed

    A new website was added to Plesk and was taking up a lot of space. I've tried other tests, but I don't understand why Plesk stops working when the disk space is full. Shouldn't it instead prevent me from filling up the memory too much to avoid affecting its functioning?

    Issue Best server setting for a fast wordpress website

    Install Cache Enabler on any WordPress istance and you're done. It's faster than memcached (a Linux utility you need to configure). Tonight I've tried memcached vs Cache Enabler and Varnish fine tuned vs Cache Enabler. No story, Cache Enabler is faster with less configuration effort.

    Resolved mariadb.service deactivates itself after Plesk update

    Today it happened again after Plesk Obsidian 18.0.59 Update 1. It seems that after every plesk update maria.db is deactivated and manual intervention is required to restore it. The server has been standing for 5 years without any problem. Now in the space of a month the collapse.
