  • 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.

Plesk balancing or expander ? and failover machine for plesk ( backup or mirror )

CrK01

New Pleskian
Hello all,

I'm managing a dedicated server with more or less 400 domains and subdomains with different webs.

There are 400 mysql dbs more or less, and my system is a centOS 5, with plesk, project gamera in other server, ASL incorporated etc.

Since i put ASL , specially mod_security rules, my server uptime goes down, as the CPU consumption is higher ( It's normal, of course )

It's a dual core dual xeon ( 2 processors with 2 cores each one ), 1,6 and 2 GBS of RAM.

No huge webs are hosted, except 2 or 3.

My question is, in this environment how can I add more stability ? I know that a hardware replacement is the best choice but I have no time to make a general backup, report to clients.. etc etc.

Is there a way to make load balancing with a normal PLESK environment with mysql or apache ? Maybe with plesk expander and moving some domains to other machine will do the trick ?

The other question is if there's a way to make a "clone" machine, so if this machine goes down, another comes UP with same content, in plesk bases of course

thanks
