  • 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 How to create "dev + pub" service plan (limit hosting staging only environment / sub domain)?

mikamk

New Pleskian
I want to offer as a hosting provider "developer plans", essentially environment where customers can:
use WordPress toolkit, install WordPress, develop site(s), show site demos.
However, demos should not be publicly accessible - it should work like staging site, using subdomain.customerdomain.com.
Later customers can upgrade service plan, and move/push demo site to production/live domain.

I'm aware something like this can be done creating sub domain, cloning live site to sub domain, and password protecting staging directory.
However, this is not solution at hosting provider level.
I wish to offer DevOps plans, limited only to staging like environment, and offer upgrades that allow move/push demo site to live.

I know some hosting providers using Plesk are offering exactly this kind of plans
What is the best way to do the same using Plesk?

I have been trying to figure out the setup (service plans), but no success.
I have Plesk Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.30 Web Host Edition (and WHMCS 7.10.2)
Thank you in advance!!
