• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

Hi everyone.

Just wanted to let you all know that HordeSkinsPlus has been released for Plesk 8.3 it includes an add-on module for managing certain aspects of Horde through the plesk admin panel such as changing the welcome to message, assigning custom login/logout screens on a per domain basis as well as skin management on a per domain basis plus much more.

This product includes 16 skins that match the plesk interface, check out the product here http://www.sarito.com

We have released the product for FreeBSD servers and are working on releasing the Linux installers this month. It is for Plesk servers running 7.5 all the way up to 8.3 and has been tested with every version of horde available, the installer will check your horde and application versions before installing. More info on the website ..

Thanks.

steve0 you have done a good work but the price you are asking is very high,
it's for Plesk Community so it should be at Lowest priced.

Please don't mind, it's my suggestion.

I would agree. Steve, if you selling tons of these things at $250 then please, just ignore us!

But, I really think every body would buy your package at $50, maybe $75; I would at $50! I know you've got a lot of work in this thing, and there is nothing available that compares to your screenshots, but it has to be economically feasible for your clients.

Looks really good! I wish it was worth $250 to me because I want it! :)
 
Agreed $250 per server is a very high cost for what it is. Although, I'm sure it took a hell of a lot of time to develop so I can understand the pricing to some extent. :)
 
$50 Affordable Price "Users Feedback Required"

"Plesk Users Feedback Required"

When the price is set to $50, More than 45% Plesk users will buy this Interface and you will earn More by selling it in Volume rather than selling few.

Later you can develop more Themes and sell them as add-on theme.
 
I agree with a lower price and you will see the results. We have done like this on our softwares and worked. Higher price 1-2 sales/month, lower price 50-100 sales/month. Do a calculation :)
The software looking really nice.
 
Thanks everyone for your comments, please consider the following.

Here is a comparison between Nutsmail and HordeSkinsPlus.

Nutsmail from what we can see offers individual skins, they have 11 skins plus Squirrelmail webmail and pre-configured plugins at $372 for all 11 or for $199 you can buy all of them in one shot. Their installation instructions give you a default setup for one domain. if you want a more advanced server-wide installation your on your own or you can order one from them, it's extra $$$. There is no auto installer, it is a different setup from Horde so you will have to install the product yourself. You can more than likely find help in the Plesk forums from more advanced users, you'll have to do some research or simply pay the extra. If you pay the extra it will not help you customize each domain once the product is installed, your on your own for that.

Nutsmail/Squirrelmail can not be modified through the Plesk control panel, you can not customize each domain on an individual bases through Plesk with simple point and click functionality, you can not customize all of a clients domains together simultaneously, you cannot add and remove webmail applications on a per domain bases through the Plesk control panel. . you will never have the branding options that HordeSkinsPlus offers you through the Plesk control panel and you are still left with 2 different interfaces that your clients have to use.

HordeSkinsPlus has 16 skins, an add-on management module for Plesk and an auto installer that will setup the product server wide for you, it creates a backup of Horde and includes an uninstaller that will set Horde back to the original configuration you had before installing the product. Once the product is installed you can customize every domain with point and click ease through the Plesk control panel.

HordeSkinsPlus gives you and your clients an interface that is identical to your control panel offering. It allows you to brand each domain, it allows you to simultaneously brand every domain owned by individual clients/resellers. It allows you to setup your own login/logout pages that you have completely customized anywhere you want and we will be adding to this to give you even more choices, samples and code you can use with point and click ease all through the Plesk control panel.

The features in our product are unique there are no other webmail products you can buy that integrate point and click management functionality for webmail into the Plesk control panel. We have not over written the default horde skins they are still available to use for any domain you choose to use them for, this means you can charge a setup fee or a premium price for customers that want to use the Plesk theme, or you can use the Plesk theme server wide, we've given you the tools to generate extra revenue if you wish and we will be continually adding applications and functionality to the product. We want you to generate many times your investment while providing significant value for your clients. The product will reduce your technical support requirements.

We have given you a way to save time, installing and setting up our product literally takes less than 5 minutes, customizing an individual domain takes on average less than a minute, customizing and branding all of the domains owned by an individual client simultaneously takes on average less than a minute. We have no branding or copyright footers anywhere that your clients will see other than a default sample logo that you can replace.

We have a development path for this product which means all of our clients have some input into what features they would like to see in the coming releases, and we want to give you all the features that are important to you. All of our customers will receive free upgrades with the new features they want.

As you must know professional software requires professional support. Our investment has been and continues to be substantial as is the value our clients are receiving in quality product and world class support.

Please keep posting your comments, we appreciate them very much and we will continue to monitor this thread.

Thanks again everyone.
 
You might have sold me. Since seeing your product for the first time I decided to go and try to clean up Horde a little on my server. I didn't even realize a lot of people were using webmail, I don't. So, I found that there is one clean looking theme on the internet for Horde called wps-sober. In only 24 hrs I've already had several clients email me saying they really liked the new interface! Man, making clients happy is what I'm here for. It might just be worth the $250 after all; only your sales numbers will really tell you the truth.
 
Personally I wouldnt pay $250 for a web mail skin, even if could make me a sandwich and bring me a beer!

For $50 I might, but either way I dont use email on PSA Servers so we dont even use webmail (we remove it completely from all of our dozens of servers) so Im not really the target audience anyways :s
 
From my point of view, better sell 1000 copies for 50USD or 10 copies for 250USD. Do a calculation, we have done the same error in the past :) Hope this help.
 
Hello steve0,

I understand your justification above & your concern about the product.
What we are trying to discuss is that if the price is reduced to the Affordable Level all Plesk Server users will buy your product and you will get Volume Sales.

When you get Volume Sales you will EARN much more than what you would be earning at the moment from this product.

Regarding the level of support you are offering is Good; but when you are saying that your software is Fully customizable & auto installer that will setup the product server wide for us then why you think we require much more support for it?

This Software has auto installer and you can write a Step by Step Instructions for Server Administrators so that we will follow the instructions.

We just want you to grow with Volume sales and with you all Plesk Server Users & Administrators Grow in Business.

All Plesk Members are in a team to help each other grow, so that this Community reaches new heights.
 
Maybe you should make two products:

- one skin for 50$, two for 75$ or something like that
- all skins + the plesk module for 250$

btw i wont buy it anyway, cause i will dump plesk in summer, it's just a suggestion for you though...
