  • 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.

Please help a newbie setting up a bunch of websites for himself?

New Pleskian
Hi guys,

Sorry if my questions sound incredibly basic, but I am, effectively a newbie with this stuff.

I'm moving away from an old VPS which has shell access and no panel to a VPS I bought here in the UK running CentOS 6 and Plesk 10.x. So far, so good. :)

Now, I need to move a bunch of websites (around 8-10) that are ALL mine, over to this new server and I just want to start with the right foot in terms of users / spaces. What should I do? Create a customer for myself with it's subscriptions or set them all up as subscriptions under myself as an administrator? Also, would I be able to use just one user (also for FTP) as I had on my old server (I.E. the vhost user) or do I need to create a username for each website?

Basically, what I am asking is help with setting this up the right way from the very beginning so I don't have to do this all over again later on. Shall I use a customer? Use subscriptions? Are there other ways of doing this or am I on the right path? Basically I don't know Plesk, I just got my head around very few things, as you can see. I can understand what to do with files and Data Bases after, but I'm missing the users structure of this Plesk.

*Thanks a lot* in advance!
